RAGE 2 |OT| Newer Dawn
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
It supports Vulkan and this team's last game, Mad Max, ran really well so I have no doubt it'll run great!
Its an FPS. The genre is defined and was created around action and combat. If theres shitload of downtime and driving around and doing nothing, that means its badly designed. Its not about peoples expectations. Makes me think about Far Cry 2 vs how Far Cry 5 is designed. Far Cry 2 has some of the worst open world usage ever made in gaming. Far Cry 5 is one of the best fps game thats available and kinda a benchmark on how to design an fps in a large open space. Far Cry 5 understands this core pillar of fps design - action. You only have downtime in that game if you want to have it. There's always something happening if you choose to move.
I hope Rage 2 isnt doing it like Far Cry 2. Or pretty much most games
Got my copy today.
The reverse Cover is nice.
Patch is 14.1 GB on PS4.
Game size on PS4 is 45.54 GB.
Nice.
Magnificent! If this isn't the most beautiful OT I have ever seen! Well done!
I already pre-ordered the deluxe edition and now can't wait till Tuesday!

Early First Impressions from Kemono (PS4 Pro with SSD)
Ok, so i've played around for a bit and can say for me personally that i like it so far.
I'm playing on a PS4 Pro with a SSD.
Very doom 2016ish. You can tell pretty quickly that id had something to do with this game.
- feels like doom 2016 (not perfect but youcan feel the id touch in there)
- shooting feels satifying (heads pop in a nice way)
- early enemies feel like out of quake (design wise)
- story is b-movie city so far and doesn't know if it wants to be serious or crazy (we've all seen this move before), but i'm thankful it's there
- you can choose between male or female MC
- MC talks and quibs
- Music is awesome so far, could be straight out of doom 2016 sometimes
- sound-effect are good too
- weapons so far sound punchy
- voice-acting is decent, nothing to complain
- 60fps feel awesome (playing on PS4 Pro) but aren't locked
- especially when you arrive in a new locale you feel/see the fps drop hard (but i think this is a loading problem, as the fps will go up to "smooth" shortly after
- loading times after death are not instant but on the quicker side
- bad pop-in
- low-res
- hard level of detail (LOD) system,
- you can feel the game isn't made for 60fps on this old hardware (PC should be glorious)
- aliasing is visible but not that bad after all (i'm playing on a 55* 4K screen)
- motion blur and chromatic aberration can be tunred off
- field of view slider is in (awesome)
- hud can be turned off
Don't expect a clean image quaility. The 60fps needed a big sacrifice. It's absolutely fine and plays awesome so far but don't hope for graphics out of a 400$ console a high end pc couldn't handle easily.

Amazing OT. Still standing by for reviews but the quoted impressions from Reddit seem just about exactly where I expected... Though I do hope performance is locked in at 60fps on PS4 Pro.
According to the Steam page it unlocks in AU, NZ, Asia at "11:01am ET on May 13" which appears to be in about 50 hours from now?
Someone who is less challenged with time zones care to confirm?
Thanks!
Should be possible to unlock early through the usual steps for rolling Steam releases:

I don't mean this in a bad way so I hope its not taken as such, but Bethesda owes Vestan a check. this OT has just about sold me on the game. I'm going to hold off for reviews, mainly because every full size game I've bought this year, I've barely touched. I still have god of War, Spider-Man and RDR2 to go through from last year.

So it's Just Cause 4 graphics issues but not as bad
That game is a blurry mess
JC4 is the ugliest game I've played on this console generation, so that's a troubling comparison lol
Hopefully DF has a video out soon
Same engine and trying to push 60, hm
Both had pre release videos look great and then launch was a disaster
God no.
I've played Just Cause 4 Day 1 on my pro and this looks way better.
Not as good as the pc videos so far of course but better.
Tight. Thanks for the impressions! How are the side quests? Enjoyable so far; or mostly fetch quest-y?
That is an amazing OT! Great work vestan !
Really hoping this is amazing, want to see a lot of PS4 impressions though I may just bite the bullet and grab it on PC as a b-day gift for myself lol. Doom 2016 released a day before my birthday in 2016 and that ended up being fucking amazing so I'm hoping that's the case here. It'd be real fuckin' awesome.

How does the open world feel? That's the thing I've been worried most about, that it would just feel empty or that any side stuff just feels like open-world collectable bullshit.Ok, so i've played around for a bit and can say for me personally that i like it so far.

I'm not a fan of Mad Max and if this is just that with a kick-ass fps, well, that's what rentals are for...
Have there been impressions from anyone with an early copy of how the game runs on the base consoles yet? I know the game is 30fps, but is it a stable 30?
Just watched it. What's wrong with you? That trailer was amazing
Never played RAGE but Mad Max is a personal favorite and this really seems like a reskinned Mad Max 2, so I'm likely in for this.

There's a decent selection of guns. In addition to overcharge, you can upgrade them IIRC
