Two video game series fondly remembered by fans, but almost completely untapped by Electronic Arts are motorcycle combat contest Road Rash and isometric military shooter Strike. EA hasn't made a new game in either of those series this generation, but it tried during the last.
We've seen hints of revivals and pre-release video of failed Road Rash reboots before, but video snooper Superannuation recently unearthed some rarely seen concepts of artwork for both series. Don't expect much more than a feeling for what these franchise updates could have been.
Both appear to have been in early development at EA Warrington, a studio shuttered by the company in 2006. The artwork in this gallery comes from artist Richard Cook, who lent his talents to Need For Speed: Underground, The Club and James Bond 007: Blood Stone.
The most recent Road Rash game was Game Boy Advance title Road Rash: Jail Break, a 2003 port of a PlayStation game. Fans of the Strike series haven't seen an entry since 1997's Nuclear Strike.
