Sunset Overdrive vibe <3
Cool trailer btw.
Ugly as fuck, luckily I'm pretty much all digital nowadays.Official site also has the box art:
I liked the first one, so I am interested in a sequel. But a bit disappointed that it isn't developed by Id. I loved the gunplay from the first game and Avalanche isn't really my cup of tea usually, so let's hope they do their best, driving mechanics will be probably fun. Also I am not really sure why Avalanche is doing it, they just developed Mad Max and now they are doing the same game without the license?
id gives them the engine and old assets I'm guessing and they make a game. Bethesda invested heavily into hiring engine experts for id once Carmack and co. left, they have the main cryengine dudes, best of Nixxes and more. id tech now at v6.5 matching latest features for the new APIs.
So, when Bethesda first unveiled Quake Champions, they said it was made by id and that Saber was helping out with technology.
Saber later revealed that only 5 id staffers were working on the game, and that Saber did everything else, and it was also built on Saber's engine instead of idtech.
Saber used their own engine for Quake Champions, so I would expect this is using Avalanche's engine.
I really liked JC2 back when it came out and had crazy fun with it. Then JC3 came out and now I'm cautious.
Edit:
Exactly. Make no mistake, this is all Avalanche Studios.
This is so weird. Maybe Avalanche couldn't get the Mad Max license twice and so this is some unholy combination of the sequel to that + a known IP... i guess it makes business sense? Trailer aesthetic is pretty shitty though.
Neo Noir colorized style / Mad Max.
It's actually pretty clear what they are going for.
To expand on what I posted earlier, this is very much the right direction to move in terms of marketing. Selling this as an over serious sequel to a game that didn't get a lot of love in the first place wouldn't have been much of a sell at all.
They needed to differentiate it and try a different hook. Over the top / fun / embracing the crazy is the right call here imo. Doesn't mean the game will be a success or good but this is a better marketing tactic than trying to sell a RAGE 2 completely straight faced

I think thats funny, because it won't look anything like the CG parts in the trailer. I do like the locations shown so it'll still look good visually. Obviously many will get a Mad Max vibe from this trailer.
As someone who doesn't know what RAGE is, after watching that, I still don't know what RAGE is.
Oof.
The Walmart leak was a better reveal than this. If a gameplay trailer is launching tomorrow, they should have 86'd this and went with that. Add some quip about the Walmart screw up to the accompany the trailer launch and be done with it. I imagine they shot this a while back and felt like they had to use it because they paid for it, but it's strange now given the way things have gone.
Interesting that Avalanche is on it since they developed the Mad Max game, which I thought was cool. Hoping this turns out great, I'm a fan of Bethesda's output and the way they move as a studio/publisher.

Hearing Avalanche is working on this made me go from a "why does this exist?"
To "fuck this games existence"
Mad Max was one of the dullest, unfun and boring open world games I have ever played. This just makes me feel they are just going to take their stuff from Mad Max and apply it in first person. Not to mention the garish aesthetic.

cant wait. Loved the first.
Never get sick of hearing Andrew W.K - Ready to die.
Dat tonal shift though

This would've been huge at E3 if it wasn't leaked. Anyways, the biggest wtf for me is that Avalanche is developing it. Huge get for Bethesda since that leaves ID free to do whatever they want for now, totally didn't see it coming. I wonder if everything on the Walmart list is true and Just Cause 4 is also happening and if they're doing both projects at the same time. Could be interesting for sure, we'll see what the future holds for both of the games and also Avalanche as they seem to be somewhat growing :p
Have you seen the recent mad Max film? I mean it's just a more colorized version of it.
First thing I thought of. The first game was a mix of Mad Max / Boarderlands but the driving was a chore after a while. Hopefully they make driving not a pain in this sequel.
The Mad Max game is kind of a hidden gem. with an excellently designed open world and excellent car racing and combat. Avalanche is perfect for Rage, after how well they handled those aspects of Mad Max
pretty close to fallout 4, but with less character building and more, more driving, more linear quests. Their is a story
a pretty cool giant boss fight
Sounds like they just made Mad Max first person.
I'm... feeling it less than before.
Yep, looks like the perfect engine to render Rage's deserts and rocky wastelands :P
Kidding, but tbh i don't remember seeing anything Avalanche looking like that. i'll give the guys some credit though since JC2 was an impressive technical achievment last gen.
Dang, really digging that cover art!Official site also has the box art:
I really enjoyed Rage, and was excited when this news leaked last week. Avalanche studios is interesting, I also really enjoyed Mad Max, and was hoping for a sequel. But, this seems to be a good match, and I'm excited to see what gameplay is like. I'm hoping they can iterate on the great mechanics, AI, and animation of the first one.
Rage wasn't full blown dark/serious, it had some "lighter" / wacky moments. So I don't think this the tone of the trailer is out of place, though it does look like it might be much more gonzo than before.
What a terrible trailer. I just want to know what are the advertisers thinking about their target audience...
That makes more sense. I figured Id had to be involved somehow because of the 250+ developers, about half worked on DOOM, and only a few worked on Quake. There's roughly 100ish unaccounted for. So, Id does the shooting mechanics and Avalanche does the Open World, eh? I wonder how it is for Id to work on an engine that isn't their own for once? If it's open world we can assume it's using the APEX engine.
Avalanche? Not sure about them. They're most probably not going to use Id Tech 6, which means it won't be 60fps. I really hope it's a locked 30fps at least. Don't want another JC3 situation.
No comment on the game, nothing, just "hey where the black people at", it's fucking stupid that's why I'm "pressed" about it. I'm sure there's black people in the ffs...
