Submission + - DarkSeas Games Developing Spiritual Successor to Road Rash
Feast Huggston writes: Indie Dev Darkseas Games has released an early gameplay trailer of "Road Redemption", a modern reimagining of the Sega Genesis (and later 3DO/N64/PSX/PC) motorcycle combat-racing classic, Road Rash. The project has been in development since early 2012 and utilizes the Unity 4 engine. It is currently slated for release on PC, Mac, and Linux in 2014, with a stretch goal of eventually reaching the major game consoles. So far, it has raised over $15,000 of its $160,000 pledge goal on Kickstarter in less than 24 hours (a pledge of $15 secures a DRM-free digital copy of the game upon its completion). While Road Rash creator Dan Geisler recently stated that he was interested in making another Road Rash, he is apparently not directly involved in this project, although he has given it his blessing. I grew up playing the heck out of this on Genesis and PC and it already appears that for many, a rebirth of this franchise was long overdue.
