The original Rock(s) Rider ($0.99) was released in 2012, and the forums thread is actually sort of amusing to go back and read. A “real" Trials game wouldn’t be out for another couple years yet with the release of Trials Frontier (Free) but this didn’t stop iOS gamers from getting real excited when anything Trials-like hit the App Store. Well, fast forward a few years into the future and the developers have announced a HD remake of Rock(s) Rider, aptly named Rock(s) Rider – HD Edition. Check out the new trailer:
So, it’s a real cool looking Trials-like, but what seemed extra-interesting about the remake in particular is the before and after screenshots the developers have posted to our forums. Crazier yet, when Rock(s) Rider was released in 2012, it looked really good. Three years later, and iOS devices are capable of having so much more geometry rendered in the game world, fancy lighting effects, and way more fire.
Rock(s) Rider – HD Edition will be available on the App Store on September 3rd for $2.99. Definitely swing by the thread in the forums where the developers are actively answering questions about the game.
