This is the most polished, feature-rich version of Riptide GP2 available on any platform. It's got the full career mode with a brand new, never before played "All Star" series. It's got support for 6-player online MP. It's got split screen MP for up to 4 players. Ghost racing. Trading cards. The list goes on, and I haven't even mentioned the improved visuals and screaming-fast framerates
Loved Hydrothunder in the arcade (even though I didn't play it much because I hated it when games started costing more than 50 cents) but hated it on my tablet.
It'll be fun on the PC and the tech is so old that it should run great on my shitass computer
i like this game on ipad, but i would like to see Hydro Thunder Hurricane on steam instead of this.

Hey! This is Matt at Vector Unit. Currently there are no plans to bring HTH to Steam, as far we know. Microsoft was the publisher, and they licensed the IP from Warner Bros who bought it when Midway went under.
We basically took the technology that we developed while making HTH (which we own), and built Riptide GP and Riptide GP2 on top of it. The game is a spiritual cousin to HTH but if you haven't played it yet, it is a bit different. Where a big part of HTH was weighing the risk/rewards of taking different shortcuts, RGP2 is built more around stunting, and trying to earn more boost by pulling off bigger stunts, at the risk of crashing before you land the stunt.
There's a lot more customization in RGP2 too -- HTH didn't really have any customization.
Are these devs serious... they are trash talking their own game? HTH is a much much better game than RGP1/2. HTH is a proper old school difficult arcade racing game and it has better tracks which are also dynamic, better feel, better design, better everything.

Uhhh, what trash talking? Looks to me like they were just describing the difference between the games.
