Rage 2 aims to encourage streaming through interactive Twitch extensions

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/rage-2-aims-to-encourage-streaming-through-interactive-twitch-extensions.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><h2><em><strong>“I do believe this is actually the future of gaming,&nbsp;to have viewers participate more in the experience.”</strong></em></h2>
<p><em>– id&nbsp;Software studio director Tim Willits explains why the team paired Twitch extentions&nbsp;with the game</em></p>
<p>id Software’s <em>Rage 2</em> is launching alongside a Twitch extension that lets viewers revive downed streamers and see their own names show up in-game.</p>
<p>As studio director Tim Willits​ explains in an <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rage-2-lets-people-play-a-game-to-revive-you-if-yo/1100-6466802/">interview with GameSpot</a>, one of the goals of creating an extension like that is to encourage players to stream the game, something he says can be difficult with open world games.</p>
<p>“But we feel that with both the nature of the gameplay of<em> Rage 2</em>, and some of the fun stuff that we added in, we’re hoping to draw some more streamers,” Willits​ tells GameSpot.</p>
<p>This initial extension allows viewers on Twitch to complete a little defibrillation mini-game to revive players that die while streaming. More participants mean that more health is restored. Willits​ says that he thinks both the random elements of the game and its pacing lend themselves to an all-around steamtable game, and the team has more extensions planned&nbsp;to hopefully encourage others to think the same.</p>
