Rage 2 And DOOM Preview: PC PS4 And Xbox One Versions

As one of 2016's biggest hits, Doom was always going to be followed by a sequel. Announced as part of this year's supersized E3 presentation for Bethesda, Doom Eternal has a more elaborate name than its predecessor. Instead of going with the standard Doom 2 , here's how Nolan's Batman movies influenced Doom Eternal 's n


But that isn't to say the world is bereft of humor and variety--the world is anything but brown and drab, with heavy highlights of neon to offer visual diversity. In my hour or two of gameplay, I got to meet a Guy Fieri-like club owner with insidious plans for the city, an indulgent past-prime television host that was an equal fan of blood-lust and orgies, and a racecar driver that was really insistent about getting in my pants. Despite the serious world, RAGE 2 doesn't take itself too seriously and has plenty of callbacks to other media points that inspire


Looking at the history of the series, it makes sense that Doom Eternal be called something other than Doom 2 . Fans of the games will remember that 1993's original was followed by Doom II: Hell on Earth in 1994. Hell on Earth was usually shortened to Doom 2 , so it's easy to see why Stratton and his team wanted to avoid the confus


Cyberpunk 2077

CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 turned heads at E3 2018 , and it will be exciting to see how far the project has come since then. Often listed as one of the most anticipated video games, Cyberpunk 2077 is especially exciting when one considers the likely possibility that it is a cross-gen title. If Microsoft announces its next-generation Xbox consoles at E3 2019 as some analysts have predicted, perhaps we will get to see Cyberpunk 2077 running on the new hardw


The hype for DOOM Eternal is very real, and there's quite a bit to unpack from its segment during Bethesda's E3 conference. But, first things first: they've finally unsealed their lips concerning the release date, and players will be able to start ripping and tearing on November 22nd, 2

Doom by its very nature is a wild and crazy experience, yet has a lot of thought behind the madness. id prides itself on giving players bombastic tools and putting them in crazy arenas, but they also take pride in crafting thoughtful encounters. Sometimes, to accomplish this, they need to show some restraint


The world itself has the personality of Mad Max (conveniently another Avalanche-developed title) and the currently-dormant Borderlands series. On the one hand, the world is tough, machismo, and gritty. The weak aren't surviving in post-apocalyptic Earth, and most people are actively devolving into their worst traits--the sadists and masochists rule the world in a barely-contained soci


Among which are the Arachnotron, a miniaturized version of the Spider Mastermind armed with a plasma cannon, and what would appear to be Eternal 's take on the Nightmare Imps, more dangerous and agile versions of their more common, less nightmarish counterpa


Earlier this month, DualShockers got to spend some one-on-one time with a pre-beta build of Rage 2 . Starting at an early part in the game, we took the controller and were let loose on the world. Playing as Walker 30 years after the original RAGE 's asteroid hit, there were no limits or boundaries in where we could or couldn't go. The game is recognizably a marriage of developer Avalanche Studios' world-building and physics and id Software's combat logic. It's awes


"I think [Christopher] Nolan did it the best, and we thought about that. It wasn’t ‘Dark Knight 1, Dark Knight 2, Dark Knight 3.’ Each one had its own name, but there was an arc there. They were all connected, as is this game as a sequel to [Doom] 20


Bethesda was also keen to unveil the DOOM Eternal collector's edition, replete with fan essentials such as an exclusive steelbook, a lore book, a wearable Doom Slayer helmet, digital in-game goodies and m


It turns out that Bethesda's upcoming **Doom Eternal ** gained an unusual tie to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy when it came to naming the sequel. 2016's Doom reinvented the shooter series from its original roots and brought the demonic world of Slayers to the next-generation of gaming conso


Borderlands 3

It's been seven years since Borderlands 2 , so fans of the looter-shooter franchise are no doubt excited to get their hands on Borderlands 3 . The recent Borderlands 3 gameplay reveal event gave fans their first in-depth look at what the long-awaited sequel will have to offer, but even more information on the game should come to light at E3 2019 in J


There is no escaping the idea that RAGE 2 feels like developer id Software's 2016 banger, DOOM -- and that is a good thing. Despite plenty of open-world, post-apocalyptic shooters rolling out within the year, RAGE 2 feels entirely it's own with an exciting twist to gaming in a gigantic landscape: rapid, unrelenting, and up-close and personal com


Interestingly, Doom Eternal still has a Hell on Earth vibe as the recent QuakeCon gameplay trailer showed the ruins of an apocalyptic Earth alongside the Martian moon of Phobos. Much more than a standard sequel, Doom Eternal will include a change to 2016's maligned multiplayer and also introduce a new 'Invasions' system where teams of players can enter someone else's single-player campaign as a group of bloodthirsty dem
