Road Redemption has shown off a brand new trailer crammed full of crazy, it's actual game-play too of the spiritual successor to Road Rash. Not sure if they ever said it was a spiritual successor, but it is heavily inspired by it of course.

You can pre-order it for $33.99 right now, currently only Windows has alpha access, but their page does state "we're working on the other versions!", so it's only a matter of time we hope.

The game is greenlit to be on Steam, so buying it gives you a steam key when they put it up on there.

Planned for the final version
Take your gang on an epic journey across the United States

Seamless, procedurally generated world, that's different every time you play

Tons of weapons including swords, chains, cattle prods, grenades, shotguns, and many many more

Earn money, new gear, and equipment to improve your character

Battle enemy gangs, cops, and the military, all with state of the art AI

Local splitscreen and online multiplayer play

The game was funded on Kickstarter in May of 2013 hitting just over the asking goal of $160k to hit $173k. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Hmmm... Now, I know that arcade racers are not supposed to be realistic, but the physics in this games looks extremely primitive, almost non existent.

I greenlit it, I am proud :D

I loved the Road Rash games growing up. This looks exactly the same, so will be a nice nostalgia trip. I think the price is a bit steep for what's basically a Road Rash remake though, will need a lot of bells and whistles to make compensate the price.

I want to point out a section of their kickstarter:

"We will release Road Redemption on PC (Windows/Mac/Linux)"

I backed it solely for that. I've been trying to run the alpha in Wine ... it tries to work, but it also really wants a gamepad, and I just don't care enough to try until mouse/keyboard support is in.

Well despite that the physics seems quite unrealistic it seems to be a fun game. Will buy it once released.

I've been waiting to buy this since its kickstart.

I wonder if it'll be in the steam summer sale >_> <_< :)

Yeah that definitely looks like Road Rash on SEGA Genesis/Megadrive. The physics look like they've been thought after that too. Great promise indeed.
