Darkseas Interactive has announced that its flagship title Road Redemption, the Road Rash spiritual successor, will launch with its entire storymode campaign playable in 4 player splitscreen. The team has also revealed the the game reached a milestone in June 2017 of selling 100 thousand standalone copies (not in a bundle) via Steam Early Access.
Senior programmer Stephen Glindmeyer, said:
“We think that it’s a real shame that hardly any modern games allow for 4 player splitscreen at all, let alone a full-on 4 player version of the main campaign.
When you get a bunch of friends together, it’s nice to be able to play a modern game without having to buy 4 copies and 4 gaming PC’s. With modern 1080p monitors, each quadrant of a 4 player splitscreen actually has 7x as many pixels as the entire screen in Mario Kart 64 or Goldeneye!”
Darkseas is also running a closed beta of Road Redemption’s online multiplayer mode, which is a series of team vs team battle races.
Glindmeyer concluded:
“There’s simply no other online multiplayer game with intense melee combat where you’re also traveling at incredibly high speeds. It’s a ridiculously difficult technical challenge, but we think it’s also an incredible experience..”

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
