Wednesday 7-11-18: Rage 2 Lacks Loading Screens, Minecraft Aquatic Update, and Subnautica for PS4

I both overslept, and feel lethargic. Good start to a day. Here’s the news.

  • Rage 2 Will Not Have Loading Screens
  • Minecraft Update Aquatic
  • Subnautica is Coming to PS4

Rage 2 Loading Screens


In the original Rage, there was an unfortunate disconnect from having to transition between open world driving and first-person combat. This was only made worse by the loading screens between them. id’s Tim Willits spoke about this issue in the Official PlayStation Magazine, reassuring us that it won’t be a problem with the sequel.

“It was the wasteland, and you then loaded another level, and then you were in your first-person combat. Well, that’s all gone now. You’re just in the game. Everything is seamless, and together, and you can engage in combat the way you want. The promise of Rage is delivered in Rage 2.”

Minecraft Update Aquatic


I don’t know why its called that, and not “Aquatic update.” Either way, the major update to the world’s most popular video game has arrived on Windows 10, VR, mobile devices, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The Java version of the game will update on July 18 with the same content. This update is all about the water, ocean, and all that. This includes new underwater buildings like sunken ships, new mobs like sea turtles and zombies called “drowned,” and new blocks and items. The list of changes is rather large. I recommend checking the changelog wiki page.

Subnautica for PS4


As the title implies, the popular alien ocean survival game is coming to the PlayStation 4. It came with an announcement trailer, stating a timeframe of “Holiday 2018.” That’s all we know so far. Here’s hoping it comes with PSVR support.


A majority of the news was water based, neat. Tune in tomorrow for more video game news. Otherwise, have a great day!
