The original Riptide has been out for a couple of years, and now Vector Unit has released its sequel, dubbed Riptide GP: Renegade, onto all supported Android devices. The wave racing gameplay has been carried over, in that players are racing hydrojets, and are awarded bonuses for successfully performing stunts while in mid-air.
Featuring very detailed high-definition visuals and effects, Riptide GP: Renegade puts players in the role of a hydro jet racer who has been framed and banned from the professional Riptide GP league. In order to restore your reputation as the best racer on the planet you must compete in illegal races around the city. Since the races you find yourself in are not sanctioned, you will not only have to race against other participants but also evade the police who have their own hydro jet bikes. The combination of being both a racer and a fugitive is one of the things that makes Riptide GP: Renegade a refreshingly different take on traditional arcade-style racing.
Vector Unit, which started off as a two-man team making epic racing games, has revealed that the newest addition to their Riptide GP franchise today, called Riptide GP: Renegades, is almost ready for launch. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, this new Riptide GP game is all about racing on ultra-realistic water with incredibly fast jetskis.
Vector Unit’s newest addition to their catalog of awesome games happens to be the very recently released sequel to Riptide GP. While the game was just released onto Android and iOS, no official version has made its way over to Ouya. Of course that doesn’t mean you can’t side-load the game onto your Android-powered console after buying it off of Google Play and that is exactly what one Ouya owner did.
Currently Vector Unit is on Reddit holding an IAmA live answering questions that anyone may have for them. While this is only going to last about another hour or so, we have collected some of the important information you have been wondering about their next game Riptide GP 2. Most importantly, when the game will actually get released which will be July 23rd.
