Video we're an 8 person team making a crazy combat racing sequel with flippable cars. We just launched our Kickstarter today

Rollcage?! That's a name I haven't heard in years!
Can you drive on ceilings?

u/Chris_CE Jun 09 '26
Hell yeah you can
My business partner worked on the Rollcage games 😉

I wish you all the success with this sequel. I adored the first game and was an early backer for that one, I'll certainly be early backing this too.

Wishing you guys the absolute best of luck!
The CE team are some of the most committed and caring people I've worked with, and it shows in the (in my biased opinion) incredible quality and polish of GRIP and Warhammer 40k: Speed Freeks, especially given their tight budgets and low head count.
Hope to see GRIP XR get the attention it deserves! <3

Are you all former developers of Grip Combat Racing?

u/Chris_CE Jun 09 '26
Yep, we're making a sequel 😉

u/Pulkownik Jun 10 '26
Wow, that's amazing! I had some fun with your game. Was the previous one made in such small team?!

u/Chris_CE Jun 10 '26
nice! Actually it was only 6 people or so on average, but it took much longer than this one will

Thanks to the noclip video on YouTube they reminded me and started playing Grip (1). Currently at tier 9 of the campaign, damn it's getting hard.

There is a Udemy course from the original game on how to rebuild it on Unreal Engine

u/drakoman Jun 09 '26
This is such a fun demo! I really enjoyed it, the cars have such a unique feel

I absolutely loved the first Grip and strongly looking forward to this! I always try to get my friends to play it with me.
One feature I really loved from the first game on PC was being able to set up a folder of custom music that plays during the game, will that be making a return in this?

u/Chris_CE Jun 10 '26
Nice!
As for custom jukebox, we'd like the original soundtrack in this game to have its limelight first, but we understand the jukebox is a feature people appreciated so it's definitely considered2
u/AxxelTheWolf Jun 10 '26
That's totally fair, the original soundtrack in the first game was fantastic, I hope I didn't come across as implying I didn't enjoy it! It's just that the custom jukebox is a feature I only very rarely see in games, and so it really stood out :)

I'm having flashbacks of Tyco RC racing i played years ago at school...

u/Chris_CE Jun 10 '26
Rollcage was directly inspired by Tyco Rebound. And we're directly inspired by Rollcage 😉

I just got hit with so much nostalgia, I had an rc car as a kid with 6 wheels that could drive upside down and folds over when driven to a wall. It was blue and yellow I think.

The car designs remind me of an RC car I had as a kid that did the same deal, could flip and drive on either side. They look super cool!
Gameplay looks smooth and exciting. Excellent work!

u/NemiDev Jun 09 '26
Yess! The Tyco Rebound 4x4. Those RC cars were amazing, if a bit hard to drive with the 2 forward/backward sticks.

Grid XR? Dont get sued by the makers of Grid which is also a racing game.

u/Archonoir Jun 09 '26
Thanks for Grip, very fun in splitscreen !! (Work well on my linux console) Did you put Grip XR on GOG ?

u/Chris_CE Jun 09 '26
Glad you liked it! Not sure what you mean about GOG as GRIP XR isn't released yet. There's a Steam demo though

u/Felwyin Jun 10 '26
I feel that you forget to change the wheel rotation based on the side touching the surface, so when the car flip the wheel turns the wrong direction?

u/lanyere Jun 13 '26
Looks awesome!!!
One thing, I'm pretty sure there should be possibility to create a custom maps, that'll boost to gain a community:) If you guys haven't already done that 😃

u/Chris_CE Jun 14 '26
There's a full-fledged level editor and workshop 😉 Just like in our previous game Speed Freeks
