"Going gold" means development on the base game is finished. Rage 2 was developed by id Software (maker of the first Rage) and Just Cause studio Avalanche Studios.

Bethesda also clarified more details on Rage 2's resolution and FPS across all version. The PS4 edition runs at 1080p/30FPS, while the Xbox One edition is 900p/30FPS. If you have a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, you can expect 1080p/60FPS on either system. On PC, you can play Rage 2 at any resolution your setup allows for, and there are no frame rate caps.
Speaking with GameSpot recently, Tim Willits talked about what the studios set out to do with Rage 2 and assured fans they don't have to play the first game. "Firstly, I like to say that Rage 2 delivers on all that Rage 1 promised," he said. "I've joked that the biggest lesson I've learned from Rage is don't make an open world game without an open world technology, which is what we did with our id Tech 5 engine for the original. But you're right, it's kinda like we're launching a new franchise. It's very exciting. We often get people asking, 'Well, do I need to have played the first one?' And I'm like, 'No. Don't worry about it. We got you covered.' You can just jump in and play. Don't be nervous by the 2."
