Ride - Motorbike Game

[MotorsportTom]

Just an update to this have a butchers on here

Also there's a video showing gameplay if you can ignore the crap riding skill and a bit of Italian.

Riding starts around the 10 mins mark I believe.

Only 15 tracks seems a bit st but the bikes look good and modding them sounds awesome!

the sensation of speed doesn't look right either, 100-120mph through the villages looks like 50-60mph to me.

It looks OK but the problem with this and practically every other bike game is the movement of the bike from the behind bike view, its always jerky and not smooth, showing every control input, which always looks crap to me, bikes should move in fluid graceful arcs from corner to corner, invariably they don't in games like this.

I think it looks very accurate. My lines are exactly the same as that

Looks great however, Generally motorbike games just don't work

The exceptions being the Jester interactive Isle of man TT games and the Polyphony Digital Tourist Trophy (motorbike Gran turismo) game.

Everything since (including the motogp and WSB games) have completely sucked balls


Fingers crossed for this one.

All video games are crap unless they feature extreme violence.

The world is crying out for a Road Rash reboot.

A new road rash has just come out called road redemption or something. On the odd chance I get when the Mrs and baby go to bed I sit on moto gp 14. It's actually pretty good, quite a big step from the old superbike games. Good fun and this being made by the same people should be alright.

The speedometer in the video was in kmph, so 100kmph through a village is 62mph.

Speed is hard to convey in games, especially on open track environments, for much the same reason that trackday footage can look slow when in fact it's very fast, perspective and feedback is everything.

Did you watch the video? I'd already done the conversion to mph

I did, I didn't watch too closely but whoever was playing it was st and didn't seem to get above 130kmph much at all.
