Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Do... fucking... want...

[–]Lonadar 5 points6 points ago

So we can shit on EA for being a dumbed down casual game?

[–]NoMouseville 2 points3 points ago

God I hate this 'casual' and 'hardcore' bullshit.

Road rash was an arcade racing game ffs.

[–]simlew86[S] 1 point2 points ago

So we can relive the glory days of EA.

[–]Elc1247 -3 points-2 points ago

dont ask for a remake then... its likely going to turn into a pile of fail with the way EA is now.

[–]icaruscomplex 3 points4 points ago

Oh, man. I hope the motorcyclist in black is able to help his buddy recover from that bad spill. :(

[–]crush_tone 3 points4 points ago

I used to just slam into something closest to the finish line and watch my helpless body soar passed first place....and win.

[–]PlanetPiss305MIA 3 points4 points ago

Mean machine! Mean machine! Don't ya dare mess with my mean machine! (Damn RR64 was the dopest shit ever)

[–]Whales_of_Pain 0 points1 point ago

68 octane's all I need, it's slow it's quick, it's olive green!

[–]NoodleSSM 3 points4 points ago

There was nothing more satisfying than wacking someone with a chain as you rode past.

[–]makingbaconpancakes 0 points1 point ago

Slightly mad studios, developers of need for speed shift 1 & 2, are currently in the very early stages of development for a similar game. It would be funded in the same way Project CARS is.

[–]Mattshyd 1 point2 points ago

Wasn't there a remake for PS1? I'm not sure.

[–]Heacockfas 3 points4 points ago

There was a Road Rash 64. I remember it being just as fun as the Sega games.

[–]soapdealer 0 points1 point ago

There was a PS1 version, but it was just a port of the 3do version iirc.

[–]AiseKrom 1 point2 points ago

Or FUCKING AIRBLADE

[–]sparksterz 1 point2 points ago

I've been waiting for this for more than 10 years...3d was the last one I played and I had a blast. I just remember thinking I can't wait until this gets better! After that, it was never heard from again :(

According to wikipedia there was also Jailbreak, but meh can't say I ever played it.

[–]Redditaccount512 1 point2 points ago

I was never any good at racing, but damn I could mess someone's face up in that game

[–]operativac 0 points1 point ago

remeber skitchin`?

[–]tumescentpie -1 points0 points ago

I don't remember the graphics being that shitty.

[–]WJist 1 point2 points ago

I wouldn't put it past EA to bring back Road Rash. Road Rash 3-D on PS1 (and really, the originals on Genesis too) were so awesome.

[–]Vip3r209 1 point2 points ago

This would be one game remake people would rejoice for.

[–]jamesincollege 0 points1 point ago

So much Yes!

[–]SerGregorClegane9 0 points1 point ago

This was like the best game ever !

[–]vegetto712 1 point2 points ago

/r/gaming - Hates when remakes of games they love are made, yet continually asks for remakes of games they love are made.

[–]uncleDamfee 0 points1 point ago

If I remember correctly isn't this IP in license hell?

[–]nickdastick 0 points1 point ago

I would upvote you to infinity and beyond if I could! I love Road Rash series and played it all the time as a kid!

[–]edisekeed -1 points0 points ago

I second this motion. This was honestly one of my favorite games. Loved having the metal chain.

[–]cycophuk 0 points1 point ago

I remember playing the hell out of this game on the 3DO. That game introduced me to how truly awesome Monster Magnet is.

[–]dirtmerchant1980 0 points1 point ago

i hadnt thought of it, but considering the scarcity of original ideas im sorta shocked this hasnt been rebooted already.

[–]pockets881 0 points1 point ago

Road Rash 64 was our college drinking game 1)every time you got knocked down 2)twice your place (ie 3rd place takes 6 drinks) we got ungodly good by the end of the year

[–]foxden_racing 1 point2 points ago

I honestly don't want EA/Criterion touching it. I can't see them coming up with anything but an open-world reboot of the horrid, terrible, downright rotten Road Rash: Jail Break.

Criterion's arcade racers are top notch...but in their hands and with today's EA's oversight, it'd have too much emphasis on EXTREEEM D00D crashes and ricer-pandering powerslides and crap. Plus in EA's hands it'd be all licensed bikes, the big boys held back as pay-to-win DLC, and a half-assed, tacked-on competitive multiplayer mode.

This is where I wish Bizarre was still around; they or Stainless would do right by it.

Natasha was a bad bitch. I always tried to be nice to her but ended up accidentally pissing her off and once she was mad at you there was no going back, game got much harder when she was out to get you....

[–]GRlMMJOW 0 points1 point ago

I`m still mad how they ruined the burnout series :(

[–]Vodiodoh 0 points1 point ago

They had some beta version for the ps2 if I'm not mistaken.

They do need to remake this game.

[–]helander -2 points-1 points ago

Knowing EA they will release the game sans tires, and if you want to actually race you have to pay 15.99 each.

Plus you will have to pay for a 50$ annual pass that allows you to run the game.

[–]roosterlollipops 4 points5 points ago

Wow, that was totally rational and not an exaggeration at all.

[–]helander 1 point2 points ago

Just you wait and see, in 15 years you'll think to yourself "that Helander guy was totally right"
