![]() ![]() Players also have a turbo button to speed up, but taking corners can be awkward. “Rage 2’s” driving mechanics has a gas button, a reverse button and hand brake. It’s a way to practice the combat combos that can make “Rage 2” addictive to play.Ĭhazcar Derby is a two-lap race and shows off the driving mehcanics. Mutant Bash TV is a survival mode, where players enter different rooms, and they’ll have to defeat waves of mutants while avoiding dangerous obstacles. These two missions offer a taste of the gameplay. This leads players to a series of missions where they have to participate in Mutant Bash TV (Yes, that’s apparently still around.) and the Chazcar Derby. ![]() ![]() Players have to investigate him, but to gain access to his club called the Winner’s Lounge, Walker has to become a winner. I visited the mayor, Loosum Hagar, who was having trouble with Klegg Clayton, one of the richest men in the wasteland who also happened to have a mysterious backer. In the short time I played with the game, I explored the region around Wellspring. Monster trucks, cars and motorcycles allows players to cover the ground in a world that’s much larger and denser than the previous one. Thankfully, players have several forms of transportation. Players will see marshlands and forests, and each zone is filled with different postapocalyptic gangs. It won’t be limited to to desert wasteland. It’s a hugely open world with several different biomes. They’ll still be battling the Cross and the Authority, but the world of “Rage 2” has drastically expanded. (Interestingly enough, “Rage 2” is built on Avalanche’s Apex engine and not id Tech 6.)Īs far as the campaign goes, veterans of the first game will notice returning characters or their offspring. It’s a weapon that has potential for creativity and reminds me of some of the tools in Avalanche’s other franchise “Just Cause.” The other notable weapon is a gravity gun that shoots darts and then lets players shoot a marker that attracts the darts and whatever object they’re stuck to. The shotgun works normally when players fire from the hip but aiming down the ironsight activates a concussive blast that sends foes flying. For example, the firestorm pistol can be rapidly fired and the bullets can then be exploded dealing more damage. The other part of the combat is the weapons, which have alternate firing modes. They also have the overdrive mode that powers up over time, and once activated, it gives players enhanced damage and quicker speed for a limited time. Players do have a Hyper Cannon, which is a rail gun, but they’ll have the most fun by engaging enemies up close. The Authority attacks the enclave, and being one of the survivors, players have to venture into the wasteland for revenge. Players can make the protagonist a man or a woman. Players take the role of Walker, a range from the settlement of Vineland. Set 30 years after the original, “Rage 2” is a game that stands on its own, according to Tim Willits, id Software studio director. The first game set the foundation, and it appears as if “Rage 2” is the game that will cash in on the rich world that id Software envisioned. ![]() Players had to defeat the greatest threat in “Rage,” which is the Authority, a corrupt cadre of Ark inhabitants who serve Gen. The Arks were a series of dwellings buried underground that were meant to keep people alive after the cataclysm. Players took on the role of Nicholas Raine, an Ark inhabitant who awakes years of the catastrophe. The disaster created a wasteland where survivors fought mutants and each other for limited resources. The original introduced players to a postapocalyptic earth that was hit by an asteroid. With “Rage 2,” Avalanche Studio could be on the same trajectory. When id Software let MachineGames work on “Wolfenstein,” the studio took the series to new heights. It just depends on whom they’re handing them to. Sometimes it’s all right for developers to give up their babies. ![]()
