No TT on PS3

At least SBK 09 is coming out on Friday. Looks pretty cool and fortunately I don't have anything to compare it to as I never had a PS2.

>>> WARNING <<<

// Ubergeek! love your work man, homework on the track through any means available, hope i see you lapping it up when i make it to Deutschland for a wee pilgramage to the infamous track best of luck, (nice work on the 954)

Thanks man and let me know if you are around FRA for a beer. I don't know you but I'll be happy to catch up with a fellow Kiwi.

I was on THE Ring Yesterday.

As we got there, I was shocked to see the hundreds of cars and bikes that were there queuing up! Damn! Then after I paid my €22 for 1 lap, I finally made it on the track.

The starting point in real life can be in various spots for any given day. Yesterday though, we started at almost the exact same starting spot as in TT so it was uncanny to recognise the corners straight away.

Although it is scarry how alike the tracks look in the game and in the real, the feeling is of course totaly different. As it was my first time on the track since bloody ages, I just found a rider with medium pace to latch and learn the way around. It was bloody fun!

I would say that, if you know the track in the game well (I still don't), you can def judge entry speeds a lot better. What I found different is that, although I use the rider view in the game, the view in real life does not reveal the track as clearly. I found a couple of sections where I could not see over the crest and straight after, there were corners.

Another difference is that playing the game for 7-8 mins on the game feels much longer than doing say 10 - 11 mins in the real. As it was only my first sighting lap, I was told that I just did a 10 mins. Since I was with the mrs and a mate who had to wait around for me, I didn't jump on the queue again for another lap.

Maybe at the end of the month or early next month, I will go there again during a weekday and do a few more laps to start going quicker and quicker. When I do go quick, I can imagine that it WILL be very dangerous. Hence the name Green Hell is given to the track. It would be kind of like Pukekohe. Fast track with not much run off in fast sections. Only it is 10 X more fun! Even in my 1 lap, I came across 4 bloody crashes! Porsche in the wall, bike in the gravel trap, BMW and somethingelse collided together.. etc etc

I found it cool to overtake newer faster bikes as always of course but it is a totaly cool new feeling to overtake Ferrari's, Porsche GT3s, Corvetts and the likes. I know I will come across faster drivers in the future but I will also hope to go much faster then.

MR over and out.

P.S. When I get good and get my times down to around 8mins, then I will video it and put it up for all to see..

Aren't the games backwards compatible. My kids still play PS One games on the PS 3. The only things that they haven't got going are the guns but then we've never tried to get the PS One guns going. I'm guessing you'd be able to play the PS2 games easily on the PS3.

Some of the original PS3s did have the PS2 chips but they were removed to keep the cost down to compete with Xbox360.

They still have software emulation of the PS One but not PS2
