Working with Avalanche has been great because they’ve taught us ways to approach combat. After playing, I get the chance to talk to Tim Willits, the veteran FPS designer and Studio Director of id Software, about returning to Rage 2 and the many other projects currently on id’s plate. And its effusive art style is a far cry from the first Rage’s intriguing but muted palette. Suffice to say, it feels great in the hands.
I thunder through the oncoming waves, slamming into the ground and lobbing grenades until the last mutant falls, all the while my combo-counter ticking upwards with every satisfying defeat. Sliding on my knees letting off a booming shotgun, whipping bladed wingsticks around corners to devastating effect and charging up my ‘nanotrite’ abilities. Getting hands on at Bethesda’s booth, Rage 2 reveals itself as a blistering, crunchy shooter with all the hallmarks of Doom creator id Software’s peerless gunplay.Īs player-character Hunter Walker, I assault a compound of bad guys with extreme prejudice. The punk rock partying might feel like an attention-grabbing gimmick, but the game itself is anything but. An open-world shooter wreathed in neon pink and purple, it was even introduced onto Bethesda’s E3 stage by hyperactive rocker Andrew W.K. One of the loudest and most boisterous games of E3 2018 was id Software and Avalanche Studios’ Rage 2.
