Are you ready for a spiritual successor to ... Hydro Thunder? [update]
Wait, a new arcade game! Water you thinking? Raw Thrills continues to scrape barnacles off the drowning arcade scene; Arcade Heroes reports that the coin-op company is currently working on H2Overdrive, a spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder. Expected to make a splash next week during London's ATEI expo, the game is reportedly being developed by the same team responsible for Midway's speed boat racer, which was first released in arcades in 1999 before boosting to the Dreamcast, PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and PC.
Details remain light, though given fancy screens like the one above we wonder if this could be the game that finally sends us power sliding back to the local arcade. Yea, probably not.
Update: Looks like this isn't so a rumor as it is a sure thing. 1UP has posted up a preview of H2Overdrive, complete with a video you can watch of the upcoming racer in action without losing any quarters.
