The return of Rage
#1 Posted 11 May 2018 - 11:50 PM
It looks like Bethesda is going to announce Rage 2. How do you guys feel about that?
Personally, I think the first Rage had good moments. Surely it was a bit overshadowed by Borderlands regarding its scenario, but it tried to follow a more serious path. Some levels like the Dead City really had a lot of atmosphere. I didn't like the car racing parts that much, though. The ending also totally sucked. And then there were the issues with low-res textures.
Still, I think this franchise deserves a second chance and will hopefully set things right. id shouldn't only be about Doom and Quake.

Battlecry Studios now goes by the name Bethesda Game Studios Austin, so that would suggest they're working on an ip related to BGS. Since Bethesda's starting to work with AAA independents again (see Saber Interactive handling development duties on Quake Champions), who do you think will be developing it? My bet is Avalanche's Mad Max studio in Sweden, with Certain Affinity as a runner-up.

I hope RAGE 2 won't make the same shit again...I like the first game, and feel like torment after finished that...

All the teasing seems to hint at a reveal in two days so we'll find out soon enough.

I just hope it's not a remaster, I would love a sequel that corrects the first game's mistakes.

Rage 1 flopped and for a reason. R2 gonna flop aswell if it wil arrive, same as Prey 2017 did.
edit: they could use the following naming to get some extra attention. Rage 2 Depth Too

I also doubt id is working on this now since it is safe to assume they are busy with a sequel to Doom 2016.

PS: If those characters in the teaser were taken from ingame footage, I'd be truly impressed. Too bad it's apparently just cleverly inserted actors.

I like this "assault on the senses" but without gameplay there is really nothing to talk about. Hope tomorrow's video will shed some light on that.

Interested to see the gameplay trailer.
Glad to see it isn't a reboot ala Prey, both with the name and having the same mutants/big ass giant mutant and whatever the space marine guy faction was called. Authority?

Nothing super informative sadly.

One way or the other, no way I'm gonna pre-order this the way I did with the first Rage. Even though Doom 2016 was great, I am sceptical about the course of id and want to see what others say about it first.

This image confirms there will be some direct ties to the first Rage; this character is from the first, I think his name was like Kovar or Kvasir, and he was the one that sent you into Deadcity and gave you suit upgrades.
Its been confirmed you aren't playing the same character and instead play a new one whose home was destroyed and left for dead; basically, you are starting out with nothing and working your way up.

I keep wondering why Gearbox hasn't done what Id has, pulled their fingers out of their asses and paired up with a studio to make something with the Duke IP.
