EA's new Road Rash leaked?

Video footage appears on YouTube - but is it canned?
Very early video footage of a supposed new Road Rash game has appeared on the internet. Here it is.

The awesome-looking video shows concept gameplay (i.e. what the game might look like) featuring bikers wrestling each other at high speed, swinging baseball bats and generally instilling all kinds of 16-bit nostalgia.



It looks wicked and is supposedly the work of EA Warrington. According to chatter though, it may have been canned, which would be a shame.

I really, really hope this hasn't been axed-road rash was the best game on the megadrive and it would be awesome on this gens consoles.

Isn't this the same homemade footage that was shown years ago?

We need another Road Rash badly!!! Give it to Criterion Games to develop.

Would like to see this come out with online play Twisted Evil grabbing people like that online would be fun

Now that I think about it, that definitely has the Road Rash feeling.
Anarion on 9 Oct '09

Even with the basic background and beta cars going by, this game still looks great! I WANT IT! We want Road Rash!!!!

Oh yes they were the days lol
I had on Road Rash the Panasonic 3DO what a machine that was every one talks about how good the dreamcast was/is but the 3DO was another truely awsome machine.
I'm not quite sure why E.A would want to can this, the brand name would sell its self... surely?
at least bring the original to XBLA/PSN Smile

When I think of Road Rash thats the version I think of. Had some of the highest production values of any game. Was playing through it again earlier in the year on my psp until I got to a point were it kept crashing. Its still a fun game and I would love a new one done with the same care and style.

i agree criterion would do an awesome job of this!
although they already did that bike dlc for burnout paradise so maybe it'll be similar to this in a sequel?

I'm avoiding all EA games due to the really bad support for online play,8 month's to get skate 2 online and battle field online only game was a waste of cash coz i still not getting it to work.Shame though coz road rash was wicked. Very Happy

Road Rash was a fantastic game(on the Megadrive). Its shame Ea never continued with the franchise. Just like the Strike series of games, this could do very well with an overhaul.
sonic_uk on 11 Oct '09
Can't see why it would get canned...if ever a game was made for online play this is it.

Agreed they should drop the old Megadrive version onto PSN / Live but EA seem to avoid doing greatest hits collections etc so don't hold your breath waiting for it.
barrett on 12 Oct '09
awsome - as long as its not in an open city (like paradise) then im interested.

road rash was superb first time around.... would love to see it surface again.
leeb1977 on 12 Oct '09
I used to play the original game for hours and hours......but i dont remember the extreme speed boosts, looks too much like mario kart

Isnt this Pre-vis and was fan made and had nothing to do with E.A so not likely to see the light of day Rolling Eyes
dangermou5e on 12 Oct '09
Looks pretty good, I'd love to play that. Pulling the rider off the bike, and then using the signposts to t**t other racers over the head with was classic.

Do want
