I pretty much agree with lebato, this is the real GP3.

I didn't like GP3 that much becasue I couldn't get the hang of the controls, they seemed easier here. I also noticed some screen tearing.

I would much prefer to see a next gen Super Hang On!!

After putting more time into this game I am really digging this demo a whole lot..the controls are very sensitive, but it's not a bad thing I don't think--I'm definitly buying the game--maybe at a discounted price perhaps..but it will be mine.

The online mode is fun as hell..love it.

Tearing is that what that ripping is Lebato, it's noticable but not horrible..hopefully the release is a bit cleaner in this aspect but I'm pretty sensitive to these things and it doesn't bother me too much..the fact that it's about 60 fps is enough for me.

I'm a bit of a nub to this franchise but I'm picking up the halding quite quickly and it's just a blast..very fast and very fun, pretty too--is this game available on Xbox 1 as well or something Lebato? You mention it being a port...

2006-05-12 04:31:42

Yep its a pretty ass port :P

I wouldn't mind a next gen Road Rash. Nothing like swinging a chain around at other riders while you zip by them. lol

Lebato, is it safe to assume you're the same Lebato on XBL? if so than GG's Lebato, you're obviously more of a natural at this than I :P

I had my heady in a private chat, wanted to say somethin when I noticed a fellow Xboxyder in the room..

I seem to do better in Tokyo--but I'll keep on practicing the demo so I'm ready when the real deal drops.

2006-05-12 07:50:10

After put some more time into the game i am starting to get the controls down, takes a bit of getting used to.

I agree the Tokyo track is alot easier, different bikes maybe?

2006-05-12 10:18:49

Kepp practicing guys!
When your ready? i'll be waiting ;)

Played the demo awhile ago and, wow... I suck at motorcycle racing games. I think I got a better feel for the ragdoll animations than the actual racing part of the game if you know what I mean. I think I tried every combination of brake buttons on the controller but making a turn in this game is brutal. Of course, it doesn't help that the default bike they give you has Cornering as it's worst stat and Top Speed as the highest lol.

Funniest thing I ever saw on XBox Live, though. My first match online - like 12 out of the 16 racers all crashed on the very first turn of the track! Bodies everywhere! LMAO

Glad to see I'm not alone in my racing noobiness. :P

I'm too afraid to even take my racing noobiness to the multiplay online!

Yeah, I'm LEBATO in Live, were you in one of my races? What's your tag?

And yes, that Tokyo extreme track is much easier, and the bike is also easier to drive. Anyways, all the races I played I was in the podium!!! (at least 3rd place)

I'm loving this game online, it makes it so much better. You know the chances of crashing--more like someone crashes you--at the first curve are a lot, yet it's fairly easy to get back into the top 3 positions as skill and some SERIOUS risk taking really pays off in this game. I'm loving it, 16 players online, awesome.

Must buy for me.

EDIT: Yes, it's more so a port of GP3, but I didn't buy that game because it was too noobified, I hated it. This game is what GP3 should have been, MUCH MUCH better. I just want to see no tearing in the final build and this game is going to own. And just as a side note, it's sad to see some guys with gamertags of "Max Biaggi" and "Valentino Rossi" (some of the best in the GP business) not holding out sometimes in the first 10 positions, lol.

Did you agree with me? Yes, No? Visit http://www.lebato.blogspot.com and see if we agree on something.

Tag's under my username here (Neo Bogard)--it's the name I use for most online gaming stuff on PC/Console..

I'm enjoying it online quite a bit myself--I'm finding it very addictive..can't wait to check out the full games features/tracks/bikes..

J. Allard and Peter Moore talk about the Xbox 360 being about "customizing" the experience to meet individual gamer needs. The day the 360 lets me play console games with a KB/MS I will believe them. Until then customization means, "Lets slap some sticker

2006-06-06 10:38:13

If I can pick it up cheap? I'll definitely be buying :)
