This shouldn't be a yearly title. The moto GP's were prestigious, now they just seem rehashed. It's not really anything they are doing to wrong i don't think, its just, how much can you improve upon a realistic motorcycling game?
a rather bland selection of screens in my opinion. To be frank I think the motorbikes in PGR4 looks much more interesting. I played motogp on the original xbox and at that time it was ace, but somehow the series have lost my interest.
As a gamer I agree games like this shouldn't be released yearly.. Same happens with most other sportgame franshices like NHL, NBA, NFL, PES and FIFA etc.. They should make a completly new one every 2 years orso and then release 1 addon for it after a year with updated rosters etc..
But offcourse updating the rosters and adding a little bit every year and charging the full 60 bucks again is more profitable, so I understand..
They've(devs) that the game will be miles better than '06. Everything is improved, bigger better faster. There are devs interviews floating on internet, I suggest to read them if the game is any interest.
It looks very good to me. And like it's predecessor it should run at 60FPS. The only question is if the framerate is solid, because MotoGP 06 has had some hard framerate issues.
The series has gone downhill since MotoGP2. I wish they'd scrap the 'arcade' side of the game and dedicate their time to the superb sim/motogp side of the game.
Some of the images look good - particularly the 'crowd/mechanics' on the starting grid... and the interesting one with the 'JumboJet' taking off in the background.
I can't see it happening but I still hope that they can shake off the bugs/glitches/framerate problems that plagued MotoGP3/'06 and make a real killer racing title, like the good old days.
The last one wasn't so bad, and I like the arcadey side of it. Every console racing sim has an arcade option for a reason. More solid frame-rate is welcome!
Inflatable, that idea is nice, but will probably never happen.

MotoGP 06 had a lot of potential. I hope they fix the performance issues. There was some terrible screen tearing which is a shame to see in a game that ALMOST ran at 60fps and looked that good.

Imagine being a member of a development team and making the same game year in year out with some minor improvements each year. Useless existence.
heh!
Man, if only they could outsource the environments to the PGR team; basic geometry, crap city environments, but (always) FANTASTIC bikes and riders. If Bizarre got involved, this game would be pretty much unbeatable. Shame.
