I got into Rage way too late and I've never been able to finish it. I think I'm about half way through after playing on and off for literally 5 years.

I'll give it a proper crack eventually. It really is a good game I've just never had the time.

Yeah no. Id rather ID making Doom 5.

But after Doom I'll give ID a chance and you never know, a Rage 2 might turn out to be awesome

I liked RAGE, but due to how id tech 5 ran, well, the game ran like arse on most platforms and systems. Seeing Rage 2 running on the new id tech 6 engine would definitely be a nice sight to see.

ID seems pretty pissed at Walmart right now, it must be real.

It was a good game. I liked it. It just was not what it should have been or what people were expecting.

To begin with, the scale was so small. Nothing really measured up to other big FPS games in terms of scope. For example, the Borderlands world was better in almost every way possible. It was like RAGE had all kinds of potential but tapped so little of it that it was disappointing. I remember going to that deserted city, thinking it was going to be epic, but it was basically nothing.

And then, bam, the game is over. The length was certainly another disappointment. It makes you believe that finally things are going to kick into gear but it's really like a prequel for something that never happened.

It did have areas where it shined. It was a very tense corridor shooter, mostly because the melee guys were really dangerous. Of course, that could also be a negative, as I found myself doing the old-school "move backwards while shooting" thing a whole lot. Weapons were good, as well, though I remember being underwhelmed by the skills.

Anyway, the game had potential. If RAGE 2 is real and the reviews are good, I'll give it a chance.

Same.

I tried Rage on my 360, but quit after a few hours and never went back to it. Ended up trading it in. It was technically polished, but it just lacked any heart or soul. Nothing about it was broken, but on the other hand nothing about it was particularly inspired or compelling either. It was functional, but just no fun.

You must be confused.

Rage is one of the best optimized games on 7th gen at 60 fps and the PC version runs well on modest PCs.

Anywho, Rage was a good shooter but the pacing kinda sucked due to RPG elements. Kinda like Wolfenstein 2, scenes outside of actual missions often felt like a slog.

I really enjoyed Rage, so I'm interested with this one if it's real.

first one didnt live up to its potential, so im interested to see where they take this one

Not really. It ran like garbage on my last build, and it's not exactly friendly with my current one. It also didn't help that at the time, id was really into the whole megtatexturing tech at the time (they still are) and as a result, each time I looked around, I would see textures popping in and out, some even meshing poorly around some areas, like the ground area when you first drive into the small village with Goodman.

I also remember suffering dips during my 360 playthrough, as well as long load times.

The list of games using tech 5 was also very small: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Tech_5

Only a few came out alright like Dishonored and the Evil Within 1-2. Wolfenstein TNO suffered numerous issues on PC, that still need to be sorted out via console commands. TNO and other titles under tech 5 are locked at 60, which means zero support for G and Freesync monitors, while tech 6's DOOM supports beyond 144fps, and Wolfenstein 2 as well.
