Having disappeared off the radar many months ago, many had presumed Deep Silver’s action videogame Ride to Hell unflatteringly dead. However, it would appear that the title is still in development and furthermore an announcement regarding its status is to be expected soon.
Jake Conway, fresh out of the army and a Vietnam vet, returns to his home town of Dead End to find his kid brother rocking their father’s biker gang vest and trying to be cool. It only takes about ten seconds for a rival gang, The Devil’s Hand, to take interest and cut him up. Cue a pathetic tale of revenge that is to scattered, pointless and thin the only analogy I can come up with is confetti.It’s like confetti.
There isn’t one main problem; the entire plot seems problematic. The characters are either so poorly written it’s impossible to care or they are just plain repulsive. Jake is a dumb brick shithouse with about as much personality as a doorstop. When you aggressively want your lead character to shut up every time he opens his mouth, there’s something wrong. Mack, the obligatory Krist Kristofferson-like older father figure, is equally boorish, grumbling through line after line of exposition.
Ride to Hell: Retribution appears on Xbox site with more info and pictures.
Player Attack: While we're not sure what's different about it, mysterious title Ride to Hell: Retribution has been re-classified in Australia, given a new codename: Cook's Mad Recipe. Whatever you want to call it, this upcoming, open-world story of a returning Vietnam veteran looks set to be Australia's first R-rated game featuring "high impact sexual references".
Oh cool, but should go Next Gen surely buy now?
This looks pretty cool, considering I only clicked for the pic.
So is the image of the naked girl actually concept art from the game? Or was it just picked from google image search to get hits?
Cuz one of those answers gets the site downvoted.
Funny how everyone click on this article just because of the naked girl on the bike. Never knew it existed before today! Sounds like a GTA in disguise.
Naked chicks on the back of a bike is always hot.
