There's a story doing the rounds about how 'leaked' footage from a next-gen outing of Road Rash has turned up. It's rough concept work that looks pretty darned fun. Unfortunately, it's two years old.
SPOnG found out using its super sleuthing mad crazy Internet skills. We looked at the date on the YouTube page it turned up on. That date says 08 March 2007. There's also nothing with the footage posting to indicate that it's real. Poster Kevmc34, who makes no claim to be employed by EA, merely says of the footage, "Animation pre-viz I created for potential roadrash."
Having shown the footage with a spot of bluster, Destructoid reports in an update that the game has been cancelled. If it was ever actually in production we imagine that, after two years since the concept emerged and no proper announcement, it probably has been canned.
Anyway, the old, possibly fake footage (which really does look quite good) is below.
