![]() The 2017 Prey, from Dishonored developers Arkane Studios, was a first-person shooter with Metroidvania elements, giving players an eerie space station to explore. ![]() The only similarity for Prey was basically in the name, with Bethesda inheriting the rights to it. Before that, Square Enix rebooted Thief under a new creative eye. Last year in fact, Bethesda released Prey, a reimagining of the original Prey from 2006 from Human Head Studios. With id Software's obvious knack for first-person shooters, Rage 2 has a solid chance to be a roaring good time.īut is that true to the first Rage? A sequel that seems almost completely unlike its predecessor is nothing new for video game sequels and reboots, or even for publisher Bethesda. Rage 2 brings together a true open world FPS experience where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything." With Avalanche Studios, the team behind the wacky antics of the Just Cause series, the "explode everything" portion of that description reads like a perfect match for the studio. On Bethesda's website, the game is described as "a dystopian world devoid of society, law, and order. Of course, these are all just hopes and dreams, with nothing concrete leaking through yet. Some fans are even hoping that a battle royale-type mode could make an appearance. Given that the first Rage also had multiplayer modes, it wouldn't be completely surprising to see similar versions return. The trailer, some are speculating, gives off multiplayer vibes with the magnitude of wild characters shown. Reactions to the brief trailer, which again has no inkling of the actual gameplay, seems mixed judging from social media. The original Rage subscribed to an all-beige everything color palette, wherein Rage 2 is embracing a neon pink to clash against its otherwise muted scheme. It's a more lively tone than the original Rage, which released way back in 2011. Folks are already comparing it to Borderlands and Mad Max, like the two creative properties had a baby with weird facial tattoos and post-apocalyptic swagger. Tonally, Rage 2 already looks very different from its predecessor. Tomorrow we'll get a look at the gameplay beyond the shiny live action reveal we saw today-and from what we know so far, it's an open world FPS from id Software and Mad Max and Just Cause developers Avalanche Studios. It wouldn't be surprising if the big Walmart leak that hit last week forced the company's hand a bit, probably banking on a shocking E3 reveal. Today, the not-so-secret Rage 2 was revealed by Bethesda. Check back every Monday as we share our thoughts on the news as well as our favorite game music, movies at the box office, and more.
