this sounds lovely. Just a note of caution though - it was easier to pull up alongside someon in a crude psuedo 2d environment than it will be in a real 3d game. Think how often you can pull up right beside someone in a driving game these days. Its quite difficult.

Road Rash 64 was the last game in the series that I played, and it was just unbridled, violent fun. I'm going to second the want for Criterion developing another next-gen Road Rash. They've already proven that they can make car destruction and gun porn look pretty, so why not let them have a go at motorcycle crashes too?

EA Pulls the NFS Engine out of the Cabnet
Has Climax guys nail down the bike Physics
Add some kicking animations

I own the PC game, and IIRC, it was one of the first PC games to use licensed music. I thought it was great, back in the day.

A new Road Rash could be cool, but it really depends on how they design the tracks, bike physics, combat, etc.

Everytime someone brings up "what games should be remade for XBL/PSN" Road Rash and Toejam and Earl top my lists. DO IT NOW!

Adding in some RPG/Advancement features like they did in Fight Night would be great. Purchase a chain, or save your money towards a new body kit on your bike that will improve how much damage it can take? New helmet, or more aerodynamic clothing?

Also the idea of a cops and bikers online mode is great.

Keep the game to it's basics. Bikes, weapons, racing. Some upgradable parts, and that's it. No open world, no rags to riches story, just a fun game.

@badasscat: The over-stylized figures (What kind of name is "Punt"?) contributed to the comparative shittiness of the pc game to the Megadrive games.
@diablodevil2: The Burnout series owes something to Road Rash, but I could see a new Road Rash eclipsing Burn Out games in terms of awesomeness. In the Burn Out series, cars only have a limited ability to fight back. And there's no long arm of the law.

As much as the N64 version was "meh", it DID have spoking. As rewarding as chain-whipping a biker is, it's so much more rewarding to shove a metal pole in the front wheel spokes and watch him fly! SO cheap, though.

badasscat — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:05:21 MST

The later Road Rash games were AWFUL. Let's not forget that, people. They got terrible reviews, they sold like crap and people hated them. If you're talking about any Road Rash that was not on the Genesis, you're talking about a terrible game.

I hope EA remembers that what made the original Genesis games so much fun was the *humor*. Hitting a cow as you come over a ridge and hearing it go "mooooOOOOO!" Then watching your rider go flying off his bike and rolling 1/2 a mile down the road, only to have to get up and run back to his bike as his competitors all tried to run him over (and sometimes did, as did the odd car). The whole game was just hilarious, in a way that you could tell the developers were just having loads of fun as they programmed it.

And they were good racing games too. They had a nice selection of bikes, good variety in the tracks, and good opponent AI. And on the Genesis!

I doubt they'll remember, and we'll get a "serious" version of Road Rash with ultra-realistic graphics and lots of dark, angry riders. All the tracks will look and play roughly the same, all the bikes will be either generic futuristic racing bikes or Harley copies.

I'll believe they can still do this series justice when I see it.

To think that such a large company can't comprehend the simplicity that is the coolness of bikes and ass whoopin' yet at the same time excel (or focus a lot on, anyway) on first person shooters. Are their range so limited??

diablodevil2 — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:53:58 MST

@LX:
They did, it's called Burnout :3

Road Rash, imo, was cool cause you were able to take out the other riders. Burnout 3, Revenge, and Paradise were pretty much the same, except better and faster. That's not to say a bike game built on the same premise wouldn't be cool, but where else could they really go? Add the cops, sure, but...they were what I hated most about RR to start with. A game without speed and traffic and whatnot,I think, would feel like a step backwards, especially if it was realistic enough that if you slam sideways into a rider you both hit the pavement.

Although, speaking of that...a burnout style crash on a bike with a ragdoll flying though the air would likely be sickingly satisfying o_o;

When we're not taking over companies, we're rehashing classics!

Yay!

This would be amazing. It could also easily be ruined. Like Barob said, keep it simple like the old games. Simple tracks. Oh, and it still needs to say "BUSTED" when a cop gets you.

Man, if I had a nickel for every time a washed up 80's hair metal singer leaked info about a game in development...

I hope it is more over the top and gory.
Also, bring back the co-op from the PSX version.
So fun.

I hope it's in the works, that would be great.

At the very least I'd love to see a Road Rash re-release on XBLA/PSN/VC. Road Rash 2 was my fave.

I remember Road Rash for the playstation, good friggen times.

I remember the enjoyment of beating a cop off his bike with a chain.

I loved this game on PS1, then it kept freezing on me everytime I would ride on a Stiletto.

Yes, please?

I've owned every version, even the disappointing Nintendo 64 version (which I still loved regardless of quality). It's as fun as Mario Kart without the shells and more lead pipes to the head. Always a pleaser.

Road Rash! Been a long time. Last one I played was on Sega Saturn. Heh, I remember the loading screen with the dude that drilled holes into the women's restroom door. Good times.

I played the hell out of all 3 Road Rash games on the Genesis/Mega Drive. They could pull it off, but for some reason I doubt that will happen.

Come on EA, nothing fancy, just ass whoopin' on bikes.

That's all I'm asking for.
