Looking forward to it, but I gotta see the reviews first. I liked the first game, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.
Rage 2 - Hype Check
- Thread starter M. Wallace
- Start date
it's unfortunate that they couldn't port it to Switch seen the outstanding job they've been doing so far with Doom and Wolf2, but I can see how this game is harder to port on such a weak system like the Switch, especially CPU wise, I would have 100% played it on Switch thanks to its portable and always standby nature, don't know if I'll be able to put that amount of time on PC instead
As a 30fps game on base consoles it probably hits both CPU and GPU a lot harder. It's also a separate engine that has not been ported to Switch, so someone like Panic button would have a lot more work to do getting it running even if it was a 60fps game compared to say, Doom Eternal which shares a lot of code with Wolfenstein 2.
This is something that with just a bit of effort you can research and know the answer to in a minutes.
The amount of misinformation and ignorance needs to be adressed by bethesda in a single info dump release trailer. there are still people who think the "cheat codes" can be bought with real money. The only real controversy is the terrible quality of the talking mutant head.
No hype for me. First one looked alright but all the talk after it came out was pretty lukewarm. And while this isn't a Bethesda Game Studio's game, I lost what little faith I had in them. I want to believe this game will be awesome but I'm not in any hurry for it.
From the gameplay I saw, it seems really difficult to see enemies on screen, They seem tiny to me for some reason. And the weird cross hair that turns in to a skull and bones when you kill something really bugs me.
This all sounds petty, but for some reason these things bother and i will pass until reviews come out.

Shooting mechanics looks like big improvement over original RAGE. What it worries me is the open world stuff. Avalanche being involved in this project means ''wait and see''. No hype for now.
Looks way over the top, and 100 hours of content isn't good news when you look at their previous efforts. Mad Max was 40 hours but man was it repetitive.
It doesn't look bad, but I feel like this is a title I will add to my library 2 years from now, when it's a free title on PS+ and then never play it.
i think it is rather strange that there is no console footage till now, hopefully it runs good...
I'm waiting for user reviews, but I will finish Days Gone first.
Yet here you are. Clicked on the thread and took the time to write a post. I guess deep down you do care.
I cannot imagine opening a thread about a game I don't care about, just to post in there that I don't care. I mean, who are you fooling then?

Pre-ordered off PSN with spare money I had in my store wallet. I definitely think this could be a sleeper hit or one of 2019's most underrated/ under appreciated games. It looks really good and it seems like they're really trying to go way above and beyond the previous entry.
Yeah, I'm optimistic about this one, but not so much that I'm going to buy before I see reviews.
By now no hype.
From what we've seen, it looks like bland level design, bland weapon design, bland enemy design. Just blah all around. Looks real "designed by Hip(tm) committee". They don't even seem to be leaning into the fun enemy design from the last game, which was the strongest aspect it had.
Rage 2: DooM Eternal::Tomb Raider Reboot:Uncharted
I'll still jump at if if proven wrong, and wouldn't that be great, but man, it just....nah.

I wouldn't say "super duper hyped" is a correct assessment of my hype level even though I'm getting it day 1. It's more like "yeah a game that plays like games I like is coming out and I'm getting it. Should be fun."
Trailer looked impressive tbh and I had no idea it was open world (or 60fps until this thread), but until we get reviews this is just another Far Cry clone in my mind and I do not want to play a Far Cry.
It is more like Mad Max to be honest. I still believe that this was developed as Mad Max sequel but WB didn't want sequel so they pitched it o Bethesda as RAGE sequel.
I'm waiting for the reviews, if it's anything like DOOM it's day 1 for me.. If not might pick it up later on a sale.
I'm looking forward to it but i'm probably going to wait and see how PC performance with it is. Avalanche don't really have a good track record on that front recently and if I can't get a solid 1440p/60fps on my Vega 64 (probably with a few settings turned down) then i'll skip it.
I mean, they have literally giant fucking mutant designs down to tiny mutant designs and in-between. What else do you want in a post-apocalyptic world full of mutants, outlaws and crazy sci-fi like abilities?
For enemies, interesting AI. I don't care if it's a mutant dinosaur robot cowboy ninja; if it's just doing to stand around doing fairly standard attacks at the player, that's not very interesting. I've seen about...30 minutes of gameplay and outside of the very occasional special enemy which appeared to use some degree of tactical ability, it was pretty bog standard.
I'm super hyped. A good appetizer before Doom Eternal comes out in autumn/winter (pulling this out of my ass but I fully expect it to release winter holidays). Mad Max/Doom/Far Cry combo won't disappoint me, the short gameplay segment I saw convinced me of it.
You can upgrade the MCs skills, weapons and I think vehicles too, not sure if I remember that part correctly.

Will definitely play it, I really enjoyed the first one.
I'll pick it up for Black Friday, should be about $15-20 then.

I'm pretty hyped and will get it at launch even though it'll probably be around E3 when I have time to play it. Bethesda is rightfully criticized on other fronts but games like this, Wolfenstein and Dishonored deserve the support.
The previews looked pretty impressive which I hope translates to PS4 and cheats like the NBA Jam voiceovers are pretty funny in my opinion.

I'm gonna look over the reviews first, but otherwise, it looks like something totally up my alley. I don't really need every game to be a gold-coated masterpiece for me to have fun, and the last thing this team did (from what I remember) was Mad Max, and I loved that game to bits.
