If you, like me, had a Sega Megadrive then there is a very good chance that you wasted many hours of your life playing the old classic smack-em-off-their-bikes-and-laugh-like-a-maniac-em-up Road Rash.
Back then games were simple and they were fun and we could toss hours out the window doing nothing but playing really simple games.
A concept video was made to show how a new Road Rash could look on next-gen (is it current gen now? I guess so) consoles in an attempt to revive the franchise. While I think that there is a lot of potential, this video is actually paces so badly that it makes the game feel really boring when compared to what’s out there these days.
Sure, a previsualisation is designed to just give a glimpse of how the game may play but surely you would want it to look, I don’t know… exciting? The studio who made this has been closed for quite some time now, so the chances of this game ever happening are slim-to-none.
In anycase, screw Road Rash, I want a new version of Skitchin’, now that game was awesome.

The original yes, but I’m pretty sure either EA or THQ still have this licence somehwere as I think they where the last to publish Roadrash games of which there have been like 7 or something. But as with games these days there’s little to data out there to prove they even still have a market, but if it did happen I’d want “Road Rash Paradise”
