For those of you who have never played RAGE before (I was one of them), you don't need a base knowledge to dive into the standalone title. RAGE 2 has the feel of DOOM mixed with a similar setting and humor of the Borderlands series (notably without multiplayer). Dissecting that note, all combat is in your face–Nanotrite abilities like creating a swirling plasma vortex, maintaining a deadly laser wall, and slamming into the ground require you rushing into combat. Meanwhile, aiming down sights for your massive guns never offers range–it creates variable versions of each weapon that cause varying amounts of damage or abilit
So what have we learned? When developers or publishers use casual phrases that might be related to their franchises, there's a good chance most of the time that it means nothing. That said, Hines did tell me tonight that he thinks Bethesda might be on the BRINK of something new, so, you never know
And though this is a unique take on open-world game design, it isn't without its flaws. Specifically comparing it to 2016's DOOM , we can see the cracks in the plan. DOOM and its fast-paced combat is often praised, but a big part of that comes from the pre-designed narrow arena-like maps that the game uses. It's easier and perhaps more natural to take on a dozen enemies in a locked underground laboratory with little r
Of course, there's the possibility of tiered subscriptions and the chance players will be able to simply buy specific games outright instead of signing up for the subscription, but all of that has yet to be clarified. More information on Google Stadia's price should become available as we get closer to its release d

Doom 2016 was a celebration of video gaming with its little collectible dolls, throwback levels, iconic weaponry and nods to other Bethesda Softworks titles. Doom Eternal takes that concept and goes overboard with even more old school throwbacks mixed into the new-school gameplay.
Google Stadia impressed many who watched the GDC 2019 presentation, but Google has failed to address one key area about the platform: how much it will cost. At the time of this writing, we still don't know how much Google Stadia will cost. However, based on currently-available game streaming services, it seems like a safe bet that Google Stadia will cost at least $10-$20 per mo
Is this a story we really needed to follow-up on? Not really. This is more just me being petty and proving to other outlets and readers that claimed I had missed an obvious tease from Hines that I hadn't missed anyth
Unlike DOOM , Avalanche's title makes waves by throwing in diversity in actual gameplay–you aren't always wandering around shooting monsters or soldiers. I spent a good chunk of my time just exploring the in-game city, talking to some of the city's survivors, and taking part in some drag-racing for clo
While latency is a concern, it seems that the reception to Google Stadia since its announcement has been generally positive. Stadia has managed to generate quite a bit of buzz, especially thanks to its stage presentation where the ability to immediately switch between different devices was shown off and seemed to work flawles
Meanwhile, the landscape to RAGE 2 feels like it may hurt gameplay – the best moments of gameplay came in situations where there was more limited mobility, like when I was taking part in arena-like deathmatches to win the favor of a cantankerous bouncer. On the other end, I can see developer Avalanche Studios making use of the open space, offering more mobility options that amp up gameplay. But in my short preview session, I couldn't master the gameplay enough to find out which camp this leans i
Speaking of the Stadia release date, that is another area that Google has been vague about. While a specific release date is currently unavailable, we know that Google is hoping to launch Stadia in the Americas and most of Europe by the end of 2019, with more regions presumably to follow in 2020 and bey
