I just missed this one. Saw a post for it yesterday and it looks like a lot of fun. I will probably pick this up on the PC once it is officially released. Road Rash like game with online play. The only thing that I can see that is a little disappointing is that the cattle prod is only available to backers of the Kickstarter who pledged some level above 100 dollars US. That is extremely steep to be charging for what was a defining weapon for the road rash games, especially if your intent is to sell the game based on nostalgia for the original ones.
To be honest I’m not really convinced. First of all their pitch comes over as somewhat arrogant. Lost of hyperbole, lots of people that worked on other games, but they don’t have a lot to show. There’s also this:
Wait, what? That doesn’t sound like something manageable at all. It just seems like a working environment like that is something that has a lot of chance to just fall apart. It certainly doesn’t seem like something I’d be comfortable giving money towards.
I’d heard of that but never got round to watching a video. Interesting to say the least. I always sucked at Jet Set Radio, think I’ll just keep an eye on it for now.
Jet Set Radio was a frustrating game, but the sequel improved the controls a lot and removed the time limit, making the game much more accessible. Have you tried it?
Hopefully Hover will have accessible controls too. The first person nature of Mirror’s Edge made controlling that game difficult; hopefully Hover’s developers have taken this into consideration.
I did briefly play it at a friends house yeah but not enough to get a good feel for it, was just messing around.
Well they have implemented a third person view as well, although you’d hope the controls were tuned to work in both views otherwise it’s just kinda pointless to them both.
So when I watched the video and made my post, it was at $8k out of $38k…now it’s at $30k. Seems like they’re set!
