Moto GP 09/10 demo released 4th March
Discussion
The Moto GP 09/10 free demo will be available to download from Thursday 4th March. This has been the most eagerly anticipated online bike game ever to be released and Capcom have been taking plenty of feed back from their own forums and xboxliveaddicts during the development. The game is set for release on 19th March in Europe and the demo tomorrow will be well worth a look at.

Thanks for the heads up!. Never played a bike game on the PS3 or XBOX.http://www.capcom-europe.com/news/MotoGP-0910-demo...
Will probably go for this as I have most of the previous titles.
Gameplay has previously been tricky but rewarding with patience ..
The `Shake cam` replay angle has always been jawdroppingly gorgeous, hope it keeps that feature.
The WSB 2010 series sneek peeks I`ve seen so far look like it`s improved a fair whack too...

Not good too arcade like, only good racer to date was tourist trophy.
Just about to try it out now. But Tourist Trophy will be tough to beat. The physics were very impressive IMO.

mmmm....shame. Another motorbike game series gone awry perhaps?
I knew the series seemed to have lost the old magic after Moto GP 08 when the Blackbean school of physics seemed to have gained favour for the blueprint of the WSB series & Moto GP 08 physics.
Fired up Tourist Trophy on the old PS2 yesterday out of interest. Still a wonderfully good game..
Also regarding the Namco early PS2 Moto GP efforts, Moto GP 1-4 was fantastic.
Loved both the 360`s 06/07 titles...Graphically wonderful but you had to get the wheelbase right for your preferences before it clicked. For me, A blend of Namco`s physics with the 360`s 06/07 graphics would have hit the spot.
With the mixed reviews, it seems I`ll simply have to give 09/10 a whirl ..

such a shame I hated this demo as did so many others when I first played the demo. Over the last week I am slowing (and reluctantly) warming to this demo. I believe the demo default has full traction control on and the longest wheel base available set at 1500. The wheel base in the game is said to be shortened to 1200 and this will make a huge difference to the handling. I cancelled my pre order at the weekend but have since changed my mind and reinstated the order and am now looking forward to getting my hands on the full game next week. Those of you that have been involved with the GP series I would suggest give it another go and hopefully you too will start to warm to it as I have.
Just come across this on a gaming forum along with many that are starting to share the same opinion:-
"I am about to eat the humble pie big style, I have kept with this demo since its release and you will see from my posts that the game has been growing on me slowly but surely.
I have been going back to 07 now and again and guess what peeps, I now truly believe this game is miles better than 07! There I said it, I am not sure I believe I said but I did!
The game surely did feel and look very different, the handling was not to my liking neither were the graphics and at first I was disappointed, this led me to find anything and everything I could find to complain about. Here is my feedback based on my feelings now.
Handling - Yes its different but the more I played it the more I have understood it. There is much more feel than I first thought and when you are off track or on the curbs and lose traction it does give you the feel you want. I think it is a little vague on track due to the TC settings which of course you will be able to tailor to your needs on the game. It is also true that you have more time to try and save a mistake, on GP07 you get a millisecond then it snaps you in half. This game will still snap you in half but at least you have a real chance of saving it. This is realistic as does anyone else remember Colin Edwards controlling a front end slide of about 30 meters picking it up on his knee and elbow last year? The feelings over the turn that has the elevation on Mugello is plain awesome, the bike bucks the tyres struggling for grip and its real guys. I have had this on my real bike many times and its almost as enjoyable in the game as it is on a motorcycle. I cannot wait to try it over looky heights on Syphilis Island I am sure its gonna blow us away. The tuck feature seemed fiddly at first but now I am used to it and starting to get something out of it. On XBLA Uncagedbigben has done a little tutorial and it really helps you have to choose when to use it, on some of the short straights between corners it has a negative effect so by using it wisely you can gain a lot from it. Once your used to the handling go back to your previous game 07 or 08 and you start to appreciate they are far from perfect too and quite soon you find things you prefer in 09/10. At first your not sure and you almost want to dismiss it but I truly believe anyone who stays with it will start to appreciate that whilst this is not perfect it is no worse than 08 or 09 just different.
Graphics - Again I cannot quite believe I am saying but they are really good, the bikes look great, ok no hands on bars, the guy dont change gear, when you tip it in to a corner the tyre stops spinning but the rim spins etc... I realised though that when i’m barrelling down the straight at 206 MPH trying to nail the first corner none of that matters, I aint got time to look at these small things I am in the moment. Try parking your bike up on the grass between the track and gravel trap on the right just before the last corners apex and just look at the surroundings. Its good, there is much more layers to the background than previous games and you start to appreciate what is actually there. We have all been too focused on what is not there or what’s wrong to fully appreciate what’s right. The action of the bike floating through corners is much reduced if you have the second view following the bike but further behind it. Add in camera tilt and it is truly awesome, all of a sudden the contours of the track are more apparent, the first corners exit is seriously uphill and looks great. The cockpit view may have no hands but it is the first cockpit view I have used that works. I am not that far off my best times with it, try doing that on 07 you have no chance. I found that on straights you line up the nose with racing line but on corners you line up the rider and you really get the feeling of hanging off, its pure nice. Mugello on here is much more realistic than on 07. I also know from talking to friends who have been to Sachsenring that the waterfall you see on trailers is far more realistic than on previous games 07 and 08. I know I said it was like rally car driving and I heard someone say the bike has a rudder but the different views and camera angles contribute to this by playing around with tilt and view you will notice that it is possible to eliminate the feeling of drifting.
So now I have to say I am a massive fan of the game and recommend this to everyone who likes bike games even still not happy! If we set aside our thoughts on what we want and just enjoy the game I am confident you will like it.
Mappable controllers would still be better for me but on Auto I have no problems with the default config it works for me well. Manual is a problem for me still but I feel its just a matter of time until i click with one of the set ups or just get used to it.
So to Capcom and Monumental I apologise for jumping the gun and rubbishing it to soon but then again as you will see from all my comments I have slowly been converted. Maybe this is a good thing as others will be able to read how the opinions have changed over the days since the demo was released. So now I applaud you for having the guts to put it out there and create something different. On Thursday after my last 07 league race the game will be placed in my cupboard and will be officially retired. I will stick to the demo until the games release.
I consider myself fairly hardcore, I am in the top 10% on 07 number 90 out of 96,000 racers and this game for me is now an improvement on previous versions. For the masses who just play and have fun it will rock and for the hardcore out there give it a chance and over time I think you will agree it’s monumentally better than the first impressions you have"
