Discuss MotoGP 2006 here

yeah, there should be a demo coming up, sometime tomorrow i read somewhere but we'll just see..

OMG :o

So how's the demo?

i can honestly say that i suck at motorcycle game, damn it's hard to learn to control the bike correctly, but it looks ok.

It plays quite well, haven't bumped into any framerate issues yet, might try it online later when i know how to handle that damn bike!

OMG that was me.... i joke but i am as bad as that..

I swear i never been so bad at a game in all my life.. first race i must of fell off like 100 times, then i realised your supposed to use the left stick to accelerate/decelerate..

I'm not too impressed with the graphics, but the no lag is really good..

All in all i don't think this game if for me cause i suck so bad..

I'll challenge ya anyways .. ya never know i might surprise myself and stay on the bike (can i get some stabilizers please)

hmmmm....

Ok i lost .. but only just !

(;.;)

The acceleration is waaaaayyy too sensitive, i'm not used to playing games with such sensitive controls.

Yeah thats right it's the games fault.. :S

I'm downloading the demo expecting the best!!!

I just downloaded the demo and think it's good enough. The graphics are very nice but could certainly look much better. I did not notice any framerate problems at all, I did however, notice a lot of ripping? What is is called when the screen is cut by a line that goes througout the screen? Well that, way too much of that.

The shadowing and the overall lighting is the best of all. The bikes while looking good, I did notice some little faults. I noticed the chain connected to the rear gear in the "extreme" bike didn't even move, I was dissapointed for that.

The environments are fairly well detailed, yet the crowd on the side is still 2D. Oh and I did not notice the "boring" envrionments Blim likes to talk about.

Enough of graphics. I do think I'm buying this game if the "screen cutting" (i just can't remember) is solved by release, because that frankly did bother me. The gameplay is what I expected, MUCH refined from GP3 and back to its GP1 roots. You can fall from the bike much easier, which I love. And the gameplay itself is just solid and way more GP1 style. I did not try it online but supposed it works just fine.

Now, I'm not expecting big scores for this game (mostly in the 8's range) as it frankly is just a port, BUT I do recommend it for those who didn't buy GP3 as this game is THE REAL GP3. Other than that, I do think this game is more of a 50 bux game, not 60, but I'll pay them anyways, and they better start to work on a REAL next gen title in the series :D
