"It's Easy Rider, meets Hell's Angels, meets the '60s; that's the one sentence that [describes] the game the best," said Martin Fhilipp, Developer Relations Manager at Deep Silver, the studio behind the creation of Ride to Hell.
Expanding on the introductory summation by Martin, Ride to Hell is an open-world biker game set in 95 square kilometers of California's most attractive real estate. In it, players take the reins of Ray, a Vietnam veteran who has returned to his home state to find that the conservative '50s have been swept away by something known as "the hippie movement." And the world was never the same again.
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".
If this game nails down potential concepts,it could give GTA true competition.
this game looks very interesting to me, i'm hoping it turns out well
