MotoGP 2006

Here come four screenshots of MotoGP 06, and it looks fantastic, except for some aliasing (but hey, it's always more visible in screenshots anyway). The game was one of our favorites sport games of E3 2006, and it's coming in less than two weeks. Yay !

THQ and Microsoft released the Moto GP 06 demo on the Marketplace a few minutes ago, and I've already captured a one lap video on Tokyo. The low quality version of the video is already available and the 720p one, being really big, will be online in about one hour.
Update : 720p version online. Powerful PC required.

THQ released via the Marketplace this brand new trailer of Moto GP. Once again it proves that real life racing tracks are horribly boring visually.

As always now, Microsoft did a video montage of a bunch of Xbox 360 games, some showing some short bits of unseen before gameplay footage.

THQ has released a new trailer for MotoGP 06, showing some more of the race tracks. I can't wait to see some more of the urban tracks, those are the ones that makes me want to play this game.
Update: 960x540 version added.

THQ was kind enough to send me a preview version of Moto GP 2006 on Xbox 360, so I HAD to make some videos. The trouble is that this version, as most previews, has some framerate problems and these videos would have really made a rather bad impression of the game. The Saschenring track, despite being one of the nicest looking of the season, is also one of the smoothest of this version so I managed to make this rather watchable video. Be aware that there are some graphical glitches: Transparent ads and pit line, and some overblooming at the end of the track. Nothing major but this will of course be fixed in the final game.

THQ thought they could outsmart (as always) the European press, by (as always) releasing these images to the American press only. Here are at least some of the images, taken from the official site. They also announced that the game will hit the stores in May.

In an effort to prove us MotoGP 2006 doesn't lack of cojones, the guys of THQ sent us two comparison images, composed of ingame screenshots and real pictures. Needless to say, the result is impressive. And talking about eye-candies, don't forget to pick their new 3D screenshot, much nicer than the first one.

THQ released this giant 3D image of MotoGP 2006. I've zipped it, but you need Quick Time to view it correctly. The release date is set to 31th of march.

Climax and THQ released these images and trailer of MotoGP 2006 on Xbox 360. Finally the engine noise seems well done, it's about time :)
