So. Rage 2 on PC, or PS4?

Assuming that I dare bring Rage 2 into the house before my kids go to college, of course. It looks like a heavily modded Fallout on acid where the mods were from the other mod websites. You know. The impolite ones.

Although I’d probably get it on the PC by default, really. It’s just that, well, I have a PS4 now, which means that the question of which platform is no longer theoretical. And the PS4 does move pretty sweet.

  1. I’d get it on PC just because it’s a game I want that’s coming out that Epic HASN’T swooped in and made a year one EGS exclusive, and I’d like to reward that.
    .
    Also because I don’t have a PS4 and my decision has been made for me anyway.

  2. PS4.
    I’m of the XBox tribe, but for action games the tactile feedback and larger screen associated with consoles are much more immediate and immersive.

    Rage 2 looks gonzo as hell.
    Do you really want to experience that while squinting at a 17″ screen?
    Or do you want to experience it on a large TV, preferably with a subwoofer backing up the rumble packs?
    .
    Sure, mouse and keyboard are more precise.
    But they’re also much less visceral.
    I played some survival horror games on both. No prizes for guessing which version made my a$$ eat my underwear.
    For strategy games and top-down RPGs, computer all the way.
    But for an FPS, the faster and more precise aiming does not outweigh the immersion of the console.

        1. Even at 21″,I bet our host’s TV is over twice as large.
          And his couch considerably more comfortable than his office chair.

  3. Ditto on console over computer for this one.

    FWIW, the superpowers look exactly like the ones from Crackdown, which I believe is Xbox only. You will love it. The damage multipliers get absurd and it’s a blast. And I’m guessing that is you play it on normal difficulty, left trigger will put the reticle right on your target automatically, so I wouldn’t worry too much about precision.

  4. PC. I’m presuming that the kid uses the PC less. Also, I’m guessing you’d rather use a mouse and keyboard over a controller in an FPS.

  5. Neither! What you do is wait a couple of years and play it for ten bucks instead of 80. It’ll be the same game, just cheaper.
