Road Redemption...successore spirituale di Road Rash !

Genere : Racing

Developers : DarkSeas Games

Data di Uscita : prevista Agosto 2014

Pagina Kickstarter : http://www.kickstart...road-redemption

 

Forum : http://roadredemption.boards.net/

 

 

Ad un primo impatto, il titolo di questo nuovo progetto, da l'idea che sia per un gioco di macchine, ma invece...

I DarkSeas Games, gruppo indie, che hanno lavorato a numerosi titoli, come ad esempio God of War, NBA 2K11, Star Wars : The Old Republic, etc etc, e anche in diverse Software House, ci buttano su un bel piatto d'argento un remake che tutti quanti - si spera - attendevano e che ha fatto la storia : Road Rash !

Ovviamente questo " remake " si identifica come Road Redemption ed è ispirato al 99,9% al grandissimo gioco di corse - come già anticipato prima - con le Moto, dove ci si prendeva tutti quanti a manganellate completamente in allegria e che a colpi di nitro si asfaltavano le povere vecchiette che attraversavano la strada, garantendo così un bel Bikejump, senza dimenticarsi anche di fare una bella impennata prima di esser sparati via...

La campagna di Kickstarter è partita da 3 giorni e come vedrete nel video qua sotto, questi Devs vogliono ricreare l'esperienza di Road Rash con qualche aggiunta, cosa possibile solo se il progetto sarà finanziato, poichè le altre Software House / Publisher non hanno mai dato spazio alle loro idee e/o il necessario per realizzare Road Redemption, nessuna opportunità. Con Kickstarter invece possono realizzare il loro sogno e di far arrivare un prodotto targhettato per gli Hardcore Gamers.

Il progetto per esser finanziato dovrà raggiungere i 160.000 dollari ! Al momento la quota è a 35.000 e mancano 27 giorni !

Road Redemption avrà una campagna Single Player, come nel classico Road Rash, ma il punto forte qui sarà proprio il Multiplayer, dove si potranno creare anche le proprie bande di motociclisti e competere contro altre oppure buttarsi direttamente in " mischia " nella classica modalità Free for All !

Vi piaceva Road Rash ? Aspettavate proprio questo momento ? Quindi cosa state ancora aspettando ? Fate il vostro Pledge now !

Road Redemption takes the motorcycle combat-racing gameplay, pioneered by the Road Rash series, to the next level.

Road Redemption brings state-of-the-industry combat controls, insane crashes, destructible environments, AI, ragdoll physics, and online multiplayer to the classic formula.
The Road Redemption team has been hard at work since early 2012, though preliminary design work started as far back as 2009.

Road Redemption is the experience that we've been dying to play for over a decade. We need your help to make it the best experience possible.





Road Redemption represents a return to the challenging, skill-based gameplay that defined gaming on the Sega Genesis (MegaDrive), 3DO, and Nintendo 64.
Make no mistake, Road Redemptionis geared toward experienced gamers.

By garnering fan feedback at this stage in development, we hope to make Road Redemption the game that you've been waiting to play too.
With your support, we will release Road Redemption, on its primary platforms, in July of next year.



Road Redemption features a complex and rewarding combat system designed, from the ground up, to offer a great experience on mouse and keyboard.

Obviously PC gamepads, including the Xbox 360 gamepad, are fully supported.

The Road Redemption fighting system involves counters and parries. A stronger weapon is always an advantage, but even a weaker combatant can get the upper hand by forcing his opponent off the road, or into oncoming traffic.





Gun combat is a minor part of the game, as ammo is a scarce resource in the world of Road Redemption. There's no such thing as auto-aim, so when you do make that shot, it's 100% your doing.




Our team has a combined 35 years of videogame industry experience.

Ivan Myers - Programmer, Senior Designer Gabriel Resneck - Programming Support Ian Fisch - Senior Programmer, Level Designer Adam Grantham -Game Design and Art Contributions Jason Tate - Senior Programmer Evan Smith - Lead Animator, Artist Paul Fisch - Senior Programmer Daniel Balazs - Programmer Juan Fernandez de Simon - Designer Alexandra Diaz-Hall - Artist, GUI Art

We’ve worked on projects for companies such as Sega, Sony, Bioware, Gameloft, EA, Pyro Studios, Disney Interactive, 2K Sports, EA, Lucasarts, and more.




Road Redemption takes place in a nightmare version of the American midwest.

You play a recently-paroled felon. After 8 years in federal prison, you must work your way back up from the bottom of your old motorcycle club.

As you rise in the ranks, it becomes clear that not all of your brothers are acting in the best interests of the club, and may even be responsible for your incarceration.
You must play a pivotal role in the resulting power struggle, with multiple outcomes depending on your actions.

Eventually, you can lead your own faction and fight to control territory and drug distribution routes in a war for survival and supremacy.



Road Redemption's single-player campaign features a variety of mission types, each a variation on the the tried and true combat racing gameplay.





The following are a few Road Redemption mission types:

Combat Race: This is your typical mission. Compete with rival bikers for rewards, such as a broken down armored car, full of hard currency. Either get there first or be the last alive.

Police Escape: An army of police cars, bikes, and choppers are on your tail. Lead your fellow club members to safety. No reason not to cause some damage along the way. A well-timed lead pipe to the face will take a cop off his bike. Similarly, a well-placed round from a grenade launcher disables a police vehicle pretty effectively.

Assassin: You’ve managed to whittle a rival motorcycle club down to a few members. Now it’s your job to chase down their leader through a crowded city. Of course, his last remaining lieutenants are going to make that as hard as possible for you.

Convoy Assault: You got word that a convoy of 18-wheelers is passing through your territory. If you can defeat the vehicle's heavily-armed escort, the bounty is yours. A shotgun blast to an 18 wheeler’s tire tends to slow it down.



Escape from Enemy Territory: A planned exchange on the roof of a skyscraper has gone awry, and now you’re alone on rival turf. Race from rooftop to rooftop as you try to escape rival motorcycle club members, who are vying for your head.

Ambush: A rival club thought they could have a relaxing ride home after a big score. Little did they know that you've been scouting them. Take out as many as you can before they reach their home base.

Fan Suggested Missions: We’re eager to hear what you want to do in Road Redemption. We’re going to be actively monitoring the forum, and would love to be able to incorporate some fan-suggested mission types.



Most battles in Road Redemption will be decided with brute force and blunt (or sharp) objects, since ammo is a rare commodity.


The following weapons are currently in development for Road Redemption:

Melee Weapons:
Chains, Lead pipes, Baseball bats, Tire Irons, Machetes, Samurai Swords, Sledge Hammers, Axes, Brass Knuckles.
We will soon be announcing the special, backer-exlcusive, weapon.

Firearms:
Lever action sawed-off shotgun (with buckshot and slugs), Pump action sawed-off shotgun (with buckshot and slugs), 9mm handgun, Revolver, Desert Eagle, Uzi submachine gun, Mac-10, M-16 assault rifle, AK-47 assault rifle

Explosives:
Molotov cocktails, Explosive grenades, and Grenade launchers



Online multiplayer gaming is a huge part of Road Redemption.

Multiplayer modes include free-for-all and team-based missions. We look forward to see Road Redemption gangs forming online, with their own unique gang insignia.
Many of the single player mission types, and virtually all of the single player maps, will be available to play online.

Online features also extend to the single player campaign. You can compete with your friends, via online leaderboards, to prove that you are the the most skilled combatant.



We are developing Road Redemption in the Unity 4 game engine.



By focusing exclusively on high spec platforms (Windows PC, Mac, and Linux), we can maximize elements like physics complexity, level size, number of onscreen drivers, control complexity, and graphical fidelity.


We're big fans of touch devices like Ipad and Nexus tablets, but we didn't feel like Road Redemption was a good fit for touch gameplay, nor did we want to have to limit our designs for these lower spec platforms.
We have a working relationship with New Orleans-based TurboSquid Inc to provide us with top-of-the-line 3d assets for objects such as trees, buildings, pedestrian vehicles, from online graphics repositories.

Oculus Rift Support

The Dark Seas team is completely enamored with the Oculus Rift, and we think that Road Redemption is a perfect fit for this technology.



Based on our experience with the device, we believe it will be an incredible addition to Road Redemption and create a level of immersion never before seen in a racing game.
We're currently working on integrating Rift support into Road Redemption as a proof of concept, and we will be announcing an Oculus Rift stretch goal soon.

Console Ports

We would love to have the opportunity to port Road Redemption to consoles. Most of the team members are seasoned Xbox 360 developers, and porting to Xbox 360 would be a top priority.
We are looking forward to seeing how Unity performs on Wii U.
We would definitely like port to PS4, when it releases.
We will be announcing console port stretch goals as we get closer to our initial funding goal.

Unity 4...?!

Eh vabbehhhh, stica dell'engine, qua c'è Road Rash !!! :Q_________________________ Meglio così che niente !





Aggiornamento :



We’re excited to reveal the identity of the Road Redemption Kickstarter-exclusive melee weapon: the stun baton!

It was a tough choice, as we had a number of options in mind, but the suggestion from backer Jacob V put the stun baton over the top.


This iconic weapon will send 4.5 million volts of electricity through the bodies of your foes, temporarily disabling them. It’s a perfect way to get out of a bad situation, set up a combo, or prevent an enemy from swerving out of the way of an oncoming vehicle.

The stun baton will be available in the singleplayer and multiplayer game, and is a kickstarter exclusive for those who backed the Barbarian Tier. It will never be part of a post-release content update.

For those interested in both the stun baton and the custom bike (to be revealed soon), we’ve added the new LEGENDARY RIDER tier, which includes both. This will be the last tier that will include either of these items, as we want to maintain their exclusivity as a show of thanks to our initial Kickstarter backers.

While the stun baton will open up unique strategies for those who have access to it, it will still be balanced with other weapons in Road Redemption. This will ensure a fair fight in multiplayer matches. It’s kind of like adding a new, exclusive character to a fighting game.

We want to thank you all again for supporting this project. Having the opportunity to work on Road Redemption is a dream come true for us.

Stay tuned for future updates, including a poll asking what Road Redemption features you’re most excited for. Please keep the great suggestions coming!

Ma...ma.... io volevo il CRAI ENGiAIN TVIIIIII

Stronz*te a parte... sono contento lo stesso, cheeee teeeeeee creeeeediiiiiiiii?!

Comunque avrei un arma da proporre....

Oh mamma, io ho adorato Road Rash e l'ho spolpato in 1vs1
Massima attenzione per questo progetto

Poll dove domandano quale modalità vi interessa di più su Road Redemption :

Your Feedback (Game Modes)


We want to thank you guys again for all your support here, on facebook, and on message boards. Thanks to your involvement, thousands more people have seen the project.
Your design suggestions have made a very large impact on us and will have a great affect on Road Redemption when it releases.

Thanks to you, we’ve had a chance to listen to some great music, see some amazing art, and hear some really creative ideas - stuff that we would have never come up with on our own.
We’d like to know more. Specifically, we’d like to know what Road Redemption game mode you’re most excited to play.

We’ve created a one question poll that you can access from the following link:

http://RoadRedemption.questionpro.com

As a special thank you, on Thursday morning, we’re going to announce a special, kickstarter-exclusive weapon for all backers.

Thanks again for your support and stay tuned.

Great news!

After only 5 days, we’re nearly at 30% of our total funding goal. We’re planning a big announcement in the next few days that should get Road Redemption noticed by a ton of new supporters.



We’d really appreciate you all giving us the thumbs up on our Steam Greenlight page.

It helps get the word out about Road Redemption, and guarantees you'll be able to play via Steam the moment we release.


As a special thank you for all your support, all backers are getting the kickstarter-exclusive barbed-wire baseball bat with your copy of Road Redemption.

This brutal weapon will devastate your enemies both in the single and multiplayer game. It provides more bang-for-the-buck than the standard baseball bat but is less durable. So choose your targets wisely.


The barbed-wire bat is a kickstarter-exclusive to all of our backers, and it will never appear in a post-release content update.



We’re also excited to announce the BE THE PLAYER TIER, where we create a digital version of your likeness for use in the single player campaign and multiplayer game.

We think the ability to play as yourself will really enhance Road Redemption’s level of immersion and let your online competitors know who’s responsible for their takedown.

There are a few limits to what we can create. For instance, if you have gorgeous flowing hair, we’re going to have to put it in a ponytail or give you a helmet. Also, congrats on the gorgeous flowing hair.

We are happy to create both male and female avatars.

Please keep sharing the kickstarter link on facebook

Su Reddit sono in corso vagonate di domande ai Devs inerenti al gioco, io ho chiesto se introdurranno i Pedoni come su Road Rash...

la risposta è stata " Yes, definetely " !


Potete visionare le altre domande e robe così qui : http://www.reddit.co...sk_us_anything/

Tenendo conto degli anni passati la versione 3DO di Road Rash era migliore di questa reincarnazione, che a dir la verità, non è che somigli molto al titolo a cui si ispira.

Tenendo conto degli anni passati la versione 3DO di Road Rash era migliore di questa reincarnazione, che a dir la verità, non è che somigli molto al titolo a cui si ispira.

Il piccolo trailer che si è visto non è altro che una pre-pre-pre alpha... non sarà così quando sarà rilasciato hanno già richiesto infatti di mettere la cam-mode come in Road Rash, che non segua la moto ( da come si è visto fa venire il mal di mare )... per il resto, il gameplay è uguale, cambia solo l'aggiunta delle armi da fuoco con colpi limitatissimi e aim praticamente difficile per non renderlo easy win... Hanno ancora 1 anno e 4 mesi di sviluppo, di tempo ne hanno.. nel caso lo ritarderanno ulteriormente ( e ciò è un bene )

News con tipologie di Moto presenti in RR :


Great news! After just one week we’re already more than 1/3 of the way toward our funding goal!

This really is a dream come true for us. When we started this project, our goal was to make the game that we’ve been dying to play, and it’s great to know that we weren’t the only ones.
A lot of people have asked us about the variety of bikes in Road Redemption, and how the upgrade system will work.

We’re happy to say that Road Redemption offers a variety of selectable bikes. Currently the list includes sport bikes (crotch rockets), standard cruisers, and custom choppers.



Different styles are associated with different in-game factions, though you will have the chance to use all types in the single player campaign.

As you complete missions, you’ll earn cash for the bike shop, where you’ll unlock new bikes with better stats, as well as have the opportunity to customize elements of your current bike, such as its color.

In the multiplayer game, by default, you’re able to choose your own bike. We’re going to add an option to allow admins to customize bike selection. So if he or she wants nothing but choppers in the game, it can be set up that way.

We’ll be revealing the identity of the backer-exclusive bike early next week.

Thanks again for all your support. Please keep spreading the word and sharing the kickstarter page on facebook.
