Road Redemption Developer Has No Legal Worries Regarding Road Rash Comparison

I'm so looking forward to this, hope they make their Kickstater goals.

Yes, EA owns the rights to Road Rash and this is not Road Rash. I can't see any real issue here.

They are still a bit to go but most of the kickstarter pledges come usually on the last 3 days.

Current day EA would be incapable of making a cool motorcycle combat game like they used too. Let another developer try

I bet EA are remaining quiet until the point the game is successful, then their leeching lawyers will surface!

Please make it!

I think its about time we have another motorcycle combat game come along.

Hopefully they'll be a late surge of backers (which will include me)

I'd be so much more keen on this if it weren't for the guns

I don't think it should be a problem. The name is distinct, and Grand Theft Auto LIberty City Stories had motorcycle races that allowed clubbing your opponent much like road rash.

@chiptoon Do you have a fear of guns? It'll still be combat based even if there weren't guns. Most fantasy games we play are combat based. Does it make any difference if a guy is carrying a sword, but it's bad if someone carries a gun? I won't make fun of you if you have a fear of guns, they can empower anyone including ones you fear most, but if we can separate a sword from reality and know it's fiction, why can't we do that with guns?

The kickstarter is only at 71% of it's goal with only three days remaining...perhaps there'll be a spike in donations come payday?

That game looks crazy hard!

I.NEED.THIS.GAME.NOW

Risky business id say. The game looks pretty cool though.

This is the first project I've actually backed on Kickstarter. I've waited so long for a new Road Rash type game. Mega excited.

@Damo Should be interesting to see how this works out! As another poster said, the last 3 day rush tends to bring in most peoples pledges.. especially those that were umming and arring. It will certainly be one to watch.

Another game that I really hope reaches its funding goal. I'm loving these spiritual successors and hope to see more of them pop up.

How does that one guy carry a samurai sword, shotgun and baton. He must have large pockets.
This game looks amazing , I would buy this day 1.

@HeatBombastic That was a bit of an off hand comment - I guess its not just the guns but the overall violence. I was a huge fan of Road Rash back in the day. Road Rash 2 was probably my favorite Megadrive game next to Sonic 2. But the tone was entirely different. Road Rash was really camp and the violence was basically comical, which was highlighted by the funny animations at the end of each stage. There were 'good' characters who generally frowned on violence and bad ones who were basically vicious bastards. It was an illegal race, where violence was an option, but not actually encouraged, and when there was violence it was comical.

Now its assassination missions, neck stabbing and guns.

The racing part looks great, just don't see myself enjoying this.

EDIT: And yes I am afraid of guns. I live in one of the more dangerous countries in the world. Anyone not afraid of guns needs a reality check.

This is going to be my first kick starter that I donate towards, shovel knight would have been my first, but I missed the dead line for that one.

@BestBuck123 it was released in black and white models at launch, what makes you think theres no white one available for you to buy?

Well it looks like it will be coming for sure as its just passed it's target.It was looking doubtful there for a while but a surge of late backers has taken it over its target with still 2 days to go.This is great and all but we wont be seeing it anytime before the end of of 2014
