    I also thought that "Deliverance" was a better name. Although I couldn't really care less about the name, just as long as the game is good.

    "Reckless Racing"?

    What about "Barnyard Benzes"? Or, "Crashin' Cuzzins"? "Southern Discomfort"? "Duelin' Dodges"? "Feckless Fords"?

    Aaaaaahhhh...bring back "Deliveranc..." I mean, "Deliverace"!

    But, if changing the name has been causing the hold up for the game's release, then in that case... "Reckless Racing" is absolutely amazing!

    Isn't the point of a name change to make it sound better?

    Ahhh mannnnn...

    Deliverace was a MUUUCH better name

    Reckless Racing just sounds cheap and like the millions of junk apps stinking up the store

    :(

    edit:- I actually think the same the same reason is hindering the excellent Raging Thunder 2's sales, that game is much better than it's title suggests

    Oh right, yeah, Deliverace.
    Right up until this point, I have always misread as Deliverance, lol :eek:
    Now it makes sense.

    I agree that reckless racing is a bad name and might put people off but it won't affect the quality of the game

    Behind you!
    lol, I too mistook the name for deliverance. You guys should have called it that, it sounded awesome! I'm not sure how I feel about "reckless racing" it just doesn't have the same ring as deliverance (not deliverace). Oh well, I'll still probably buy this day one.

    I was also misreading it, I thought screenshots looked good but then I thought I hope there isn't any banjo playing hillbillies in it. Once I re read it I was more interested in it.

    :D

    Has the cultural memory of the movie "Deliverance" been lost over time for younger people? ...Dudes on vacation in Georgia being menaced, hunted, and sodomized by crazy hillbillies? Dueling banjos? Is that all lost on young people?
    The book/movie traded on outlandish stereotypes, but to this day I am scared of ever visiting the southern Appalachians.

    Anyway... The title "Deliverace" was trading on that southern hillbilly theme.
    I never actually liked the title. It was awkward and trying too hard to be clever.
    But "Reckless Racing" is worse. It sounds totally generic. They need to highlight that "dirty south" theme. I'd have gone with "Redneck Racing" if I had any say in the matter.

    Redneck racing is a really good idea. Deliverace would've been too confusing for most people, especially non-English speakers.

    I would go as far as to suggest "Reckless Rednecks!".

    a touch screen game..on a non touch screen device...that would take SO MUCH LONGER and you would have to do SO MUCH MORE in the app!

    Wow.. Apparently I'm the only person that kind of doesn't mind "Reckless Racing" being the title. I mean, damn everyone..
