Ride To Hell: The Franchise (360, PS3, PC, XBLA, mobile, everything)

Today publisher Deep Silver announced a brand new series in their stable of IPs with Ride to Hell. Blasting across multiple platforms and release dates, this new series is said to “take gamers deep into a world of bare-knuckle violence, seedy strip clubs, and rip-roaring motorcycles with the Ride to Hell™ universe, revving into homes starting June 2013″. We bring you the first trailer, screenshots and of course info about this trio of games.

Ride to Hell: Retribution tells the story of a lone rider, Jake Conway, a man with either a gun in his hand or a girl on his lap (and on more than one occasion both!). He’s on a merciless path of revenge against a brutal biker gang called The Devil’s Hand, armed to the teeth with an arsenal of deadly weapons to enact his vengeance on foot and on bike. The only law Jake answers to is his own. Hit hard, ride fast and leave ‘em in the dust on June 25, 2013, in North America and June 28, 2013, in the rest of the world for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC, and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

Looking to lead your own pack of fearsome bikers? Ride to Hell: Route 666 is just for you, taking the player on a journey to conquer legendary Route 66. Players will recruit and lead a gang of bikers from Chicago to Los Angeles, fighting for every mile of the road using both brain and brawn. Fast paced arcade combat combined with easy to understand tactics – anyone who understands team sports will be able to dive right in to commanding their gang. Get ready to rule the road with Ride to Hell: Route 666 in June 2013 on the PlayStation®Store, Xbox LIVE® Arcade for Xbox 360 and Steam.

Last, but certainly not least, the Ride to Hell universe will be rounded out with Ride to Hell: Beatdown, a rock’n’roll brawler set to light up the mobile space, on the go! More details on this title will follow soon.

Trailer. Spoiler for digital boobies.

If their marketing team's goal with that release was to make me interested enough to click on a video that costs me nothing but a minute of my life, they failed.

It's pretty ambitious to call something a series/ franchise when the first one hasn't been released yet. Based on that trailer, I can't imagine this being much of a success.

Edit: Just saw that "series" refers to all the different platforms/ versions of the same IP. I still imagine it will fail in all those versions.

I got about this far in the press release before I lost interest.

I don't know. It sounds like the retail one could be the closest thing to a new Road Rash, and that could be pretty cool if that's what it is. As usual, you can't really tell from the trailer.

Meh. If I want digital boobs I'll fire up an old Leisure Suit Larry game.
