I Loved Riptide GP2: How is Renegade different?

[blewberry]

RGP2 was an amazing game! And kudos to the devs for including the offline-multiplayer ghost races again! Being able to race with friends, even though we can't all be online at the same time is fantastic (every racer should have this feature).

Other than...
- a new engine
- improved graphics
- and online multiplayer
... is there anything different from the previous game, or is it more of all the things that made Riptide GP2 so fun?

Thanks and good luck with the launch, I can't wait to play this game!

Good question! The essential nature of the game is the same, although we took it in a bit more of an action-arcade racing direction. The tracks are more interactive with secret shortcuts and destructible elements, and there's a lot more animated action in the world. We also added point-to-point races (1 lap) so you can have things like really big jumps. The vehicles transform when you earn boost from stunting, and we also added a bunch of new more ridiculous stunts.

There's also a story in Career mode, which introduces various bosses that you have to beat, and then when you beat them you take over their hydrojets and you can play as those characters.

On top of that we tweaked and tuned the game to make it more responsive. We hope you like it!

Brilliant, I couldn't have hoped for a better kind of reply.

Many thanks!

The vehicles transform when you earn boost from stunting

Can you explain that a bit more pls?
Does the transforming make the vehicle better/faster? Or is it just cosmetics?

[Vector Unit]

It's cosmetics, and also a way of indicating to you that the Boost is ready to activate.

allright, sounds cool :)

Looks awesome, hopefully the MP will be without lag and stuff
Are there servers or is this by host?

[Vector Unit]

There are servers this time around. Before was strictly peer to peer. The new version uses Photon multiplayer, and it should scale pretty well. Definitely give us feedback on your experience please!

they also pulled out the grindy b.s. from gp2 which imo made that game a bit terrible, instead you get a modified upgrade system that pulls heavily from riptide 1 and a much better game overall.

riptide gp renegade has put vector unit on my awesome devs list, just cause they didnt turn out to be jerks with this sequel
