Who would win in a fight between Rage 2’s developers? We pit Avalanche against id Software

Rage 2 is the product of a collaboration between two world-class studios: id and Avalanche. But while these studios appear to be working together harmoniously, they do clearly have their differences. Avalanche are based in Sweden, while id call the deep south of America home. That’s two very different cultures. So, if the two developers were to go to war, who would win in a fight? Yes, these are the mad questions that get asked on the intense Gamescom 2018 show floor. Happy to answer such a question is Tim Willits, studio director at id Software. “Well remember, we're from Texas, and we've got a lot of big boys,” he laughs. “But [Avalanche are] Swedes, and they like exercise. So they've got a lot of strong vikings. So it's between the vikings and the crazy Americans.” After a little pondering, Willits comes to a conclusion: “I think the vikings would beat the Texans.” If you’ve ever seen Willits on stage standing next to Avalanche’s Magnus Nedfors, you’ll probably know why that’s his answer.
