So I was at a garage sale today and snagged a copy of Road Rash 1, 2, 3 for genesis at a steal for $2.00 for all 3 with some negotiations!!!!;)This is one game series I truely enjoyed. even when they came out with Jail Break and Road Rash 3D for the PS1 as later games which were still awesomely fun. Just curious if I'm the only one that would like to see a new series of Road Rash games come out?

That"s a nice find. My personal definitive Road Rash experience was with the 3DO version and I would love to feel that rush once again. In the hands of a proven developer or even an ambitious upstart a new Road Rash could be positively mind blowing. What we don't need is a hastily assembled game made on the cheap by a bum studio.

I'd definetly play a new Road Rash, as long as they don't butcher the franchise. I didn't play them on Genesis originally, I played the PS1 games first, and I loved them.

You got a bargain there, I probably paid a lot more than that for each game on ebay (the postage of one game would probably even equate to $2 USD).

IMO the Mega Drive games got worse with each sequel, and having gone back to play the PS1 games again, they don't have the same appeal (especially Jailbreak, which I never played at the time), so it's not like it'd be a guaranteed great game, but a modern version of the series would be great to see on any system from PSP/3DS to PS3 etc. Not sure whether I'd prefer stylised look or realistic (probably would depend on the system it was on) but yeah, providing they made a good game that was faithful enough to the original (possibly remaking the original music?) then I'd be interested in getting it...having said that, I'd say the same about Super Hang On or a fair number of other games. :P

OMG yes! Something like RR3 but with an actual story, and probably some elements outside of simply winning races. Never played an RR game after that, though, so no idea what they changed or added.

I'd love for a new Road Rash to come out! I loved the first and second, never got the chance to play the third.

I really think if even they kept it retro and the same but dropped some online for everyone. I think I would be a great seller. It's one thing to beat the AI with chains..... Imagine an online community beating each other up! That I would pay for! GREAT IDEA AND ADDITION!

yeah they should totally release Road Rash I, II and III on Xboxlive arcade. and they could improve the graphics and add online multiplayer with leaderboards. *crosses fingers* OR maybe a Road Rash 4 (kinda like Sonic 4 that is coming out is a lot like Sonic 1, 2, and 3)

I feel Road Rash II for Genesis is the best, with III being close behind. Road Rash on 3do and Playstation are pretty cool too. Jailbreak for the GameboyAdvance is ok, but nothing like the first 3.

and if any of you have a psp, its worth noting that RoadRash I, II, and III are on EA replay. However they changed the music (why i dont know), so its not quite the same, but still fun.

Excellent find there, love those games. Hmm.. I actually brought up the topic a long time ago on a new one, but now that I think about it, it'd make much more sense to maybe enhance the classic trilogy and release them as downloadable games, not sure if I'd like to spend $60 on a brand new Road Rash. It would be neat to see some kind of refresh of the games though, like I said, an enhanced version of the trilogy for download on consoles.

I'm cool with the original. Although I do love the series, I see no need to alter a new addition to it. It's fine how it is, just play the old ones.

I think adding online support and current generation graphics and other features to older games is a great idea and we haven't nearly seen enough of it.

When I got my Wii the first game I played online for ti was Mario Kart Wii. Mario Kart has still the same basic formula, with different handling and car select and all these other features, AND online play. I play it frequently, it was everything I expected.

On the Xbox 360 side of the things the re-release of Perfect Dark on XBLA was amazing and is the most fun I have had with a first person shooter in a long time. Easily one of my favorite games on the Nintendo 64, 4J studios improved the controls and added all new textures and kept the game running at 60 frames per second in 1080p. The blurry visuals and abysmal framerate and questionable controls of the Nintendo 64 version were gone, and the game damn near feels like a current gen title when you set it up right and make it center the cursor.

This week, Hydro Thunder Hurricane was also released. While not technically a remake, and pretty different, it still FEELS like the Hydro Thunder that I know and love from the local arcade and the Nintendo 64 console. I have been playing this online since release and I am having an absolute blast.

Not too long ago, I think it was a few months back, I took out Road Rash 64 and played a game with friends. It was absolutely hilarious. If this made it to Xbox Live I think Xbox 360 would be my favorite console of all time. That is... at least until they shut down the online like they did with the original Xbox.
