I didn't see a topic about it. If there is one then i'm deeply sorry.

So there was this game called Rollcage that came out in 1999 and had a sequel in 2000 called Rollcage 2.
It was a futuristic racing game with cars capable of driving on walls, ceilings and even upside down as speeds well over 400 km/h

Well the third game in the series is actually a thing and out on steam early access.

Features an electronic soundtrack so full of drum and bass that pendulum became jelous.
Cars that go faster than Sonic the Hedgehog while sporting armor thicker than a Maus.
Weapon pickups.

Personally i'm hyped. I rarely buy games blind but i'm grabbing this the second i get some money on my PayPal.

Got it a while ago as soon as I saw Rollcage mentioned. Cars are a little too fast for my taste and jump out of control at the slightest provocation. Rollcage driving model had some finesse to it that I can't find in this title.

I LOVED rollcage growing up. I spent hours and hours on both of them, and they're pretty much the only racing games I enjoy (wipeout was also fun).

Definitely going to get this.

FYI your link leads to the Japanese store page for the game.

I've never heard of Rollcage until now, I take it it wasn't very popular? I noticed it was on Playstation so it was probably overshadowed by Twisted Metal and other similar games.
Right now there's several other game I want to get around to playing, but I'll keep this one in mind.

It was pretty popular at the time I think - I know a lot of my friends had it at one time or another (I know not of statistical significance, but it was a time when everyone sort of bought what was popular) and I remember it getting good reviews and stuff. I think it was probably one of those that just sort of never got up to 'cult' status or was made into endless sequels.

I did it on purpose wondering if anyone would notice.

And yeah it wasn't that big of a rage since it suffered the fate as Odyssey to the West that came out sandwiched between hotter titles.
Still it is indeed something to have an eye out for.
It might not quite be worth the 16 Yuro with only 2 cars and 3 tracks (one finished one mostly finished and the third barely playable and full of glitches) and the option to set the tracks to mirror and reverse mode to give the players more tracks to fool around in (kudos to them making the tracks work perfectly fine in reverse in the first place).
And you would be buying with the idea that the game would be some day complete... so it's kinda like Star Citizen i guess... only less greedy.
