Mad Riders is a game with races
Techland proves its trailer-making chops once again with this announcement of a teaser trailer for the actual trailer of Mad Riders, touting features like: races (you like games with races, don't you?) trees 74.6FPS VERY HDMarvel at the motion-captured vehicle wheels! Enjoy the quick in-joke at Techland's own expense! Remember that Mad Riders exists, long after you've seen this.
Techland's Mad Riders touches down on PSN May 29, XBLA/PC on May 30
If you've somehow managed to get your fill of Trials Evolution's dusty peaks and valleys already, Techland's latest, Mad Riders, may be perfect for you. And hey, the game is set to launch on May 30 according to the latest trailer. That's pretty soon!Like Trials before it, Mad Riders is a digital-only title, but unlike Trials, it's not limited to a single console (Mad Riders is headed to PSN, XBLA, and PC). It'll be available one day earlier for PSN users on May 29, and May 30 on XBLA and PC, but it'll cost the same on all three: a cool $10. Techland describes that as "an awesome game for the price of a pizza," though we'd warn the studio against devaluing its games as such. What kind of pizza are you gonna get for $10? Terrible pizza, that's what!
Techland's 'Project Haste' is Mad Riders, looks like Nail'd
Remember Project Haste, the Ubisoft ATV racer from Nail'd developer Techland? It has now been revealed to be Mad Riders, evidently the same one recently rated in Australia, and, surprise, it looks an awful lot like Nail'd. In fact, Mad Riders looks almost exactly like Nail'd, right down to stunts, boost, floating rings and even the hot air balloons. The game will feature 45 different tracks and multiplayer for up to 12 players (the same number of players as Nail'd, incidentally).Mad Riders will be released on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC this spring. Assuming it's as entertaining as Nail'd, Mad Riders should be a perfect fit for the downloadable market.%Gallery-147700%
'Chop' and 'Mad Riders' rated in Australia
Two mysterious games have appeared on Australia's Ratings Board, one published by Ubisoft for PS3, and one published by Microsoft for an unspecified platform. The PS3 game in question is called Mad Riders, and carries a G classification, suggesting that nobody is too mad. Microsoft has the Microsoft Studios-made Chop, whose violent title also belies a G rating. Chop was rated concurrently with Grasshopper Manufacture's baseball-action Kinect game Diabolical Pitch and its collaborative shmup Sine Mora, which both earned M ratings. We've checked in with both Microsoft and Ubisoft, and we'll let you know when we find out what all the chopping and riding is about.
