60's Biker Game Ride to Hell Unveiled, Due Q2 2009

15
Publisher Deep Silver today announced Ride to Hell, an open-world action title centered around biker culture in the 1960s. The game is slated to simultaneously hit PC and "next-gen consoles," likely PS3 and Xbox 360, in Q2 2009.

"Ride to Hell is not for the faint-hearted," said the studio. "It's aimed heavily at the player who wants to become fully involved in the original West Coast biker culture. With its hard drinking, bare-knuckle environment, this is as close to the action as you can get."

Under what Deep Silver refers to as a "movie-style production model," the game will be developed by its internal studio with help from Big Mutha Truckers 2 - Truck Me Harder! (PC, PS2, Xbox) developer Eutechnyx, Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, 360) motion capture company Perspective Studios, and unspecified others.

In development for over a year, Ride to Hell will mark the first North American release of an internal Deep Silver project.

      The whole 60's thing and the art style made me think of Interstate 76 first... god that game ruled ass.
