Doom and Rage now on Xbox Game Pass
id's good news.
2016's Doom and the original Rage are now both available via Xbox Games Pass - their arrivals timed to coincide with this weekend's QuakeCon 2018 festivities.
Rage 2
Rage 2 won't have multiplayer but will have "a social component"
"We understand connecting with other gamers is important."
We know Rage 2 won't have multiplayer but it will, id Software studio boss Tim Willits told me at QuakeCon today, have some kind of "social component".
FeatureRage 2 sees Avalanche and Id pull off what could be the perfect double-act
Still just a rat in a cage?
It is, if nothing else, quite the double act.
Rage 2 is a strictly single-player game, and it'll hit 60fps on console
But 60fps is only on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.
Rage 2, id's collaboration with Avalanche Software, is going to be a strictly single-player game, with nothing by way of multiplayer diversions.
Here's our first proper look at Rage 2 gameplay
Scream if you're winning.
Bethesda has shown off Rage 2 gameplay for the first time.
The video, below, shows plenty of explosive first-person shooting. I sense a heavy influence from id Software's recent Doom game, with fast movement, lots of melee and zipping about arenas set within the open world.
This doesn't come as a huge surprise - Rage 2 is developed by Just Cause maker Avalanche in collaboration with Doom developer id.
Here's our first look at Rage 2 gameplay
Post-apunkalyptic sequel arrives 2019.
Guns, mohawks and that weird little fidget spinner weapon thing - yes, this is Rage 2. Leaked last week, confirmed yesterday, Bethesda now has an official gameplay trailer for you to see.
We also now know a very vague release window - "2019".
Some areas of the game look a lot like the original - a sunbaked wasteland with glowy-eyed mutants and visuals straight out of Mad Max. But, this time, it looks like we'll be exploring a much bigger open world, with forests and mountain areas, and there's hints of the dayglo punk colour palette previously seen in the game's logo and teaser trailer.
