Speed Demons 2 Announced for PC
Radiangames has announced Speed Demons 2, the side-scrolling highway racer with a visual aesthetic – not to mention high-speed gameplay – that might remind you a bit of the beloved arcade racing series Burnout. It's in development for PC after the original was a mobile game, and the sequel is due out later this year.
The developer says, "The controls are focused on movement, not steering. You'll still have gas, brake, and turbo (or ability) buttons, but you move the analog stick (or mouse) up and down to control your vehicle's direction." The team adds, "It sounds unusual, but it's immediately intuitive once you start playing."
Speed Demons 2 has ten game modes, including the very Burnout Road Rage mode-sounding Pursuit, Takedown, and Rampage, which all task you with destroying other cars in a certain time limit. Another is Scratchless, which harkens back to Burnout's Burning Lap by challenging you with getting to the finish line with as little damage to your car as possible.
Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.
