The reason why PS2 rocks is Grand Turismo

Such clear and realistic graphics, wouldn't it be cool if the same crowd did a motorcycle game? Well, looks like they are about to, check this out......PS2 "Tourist Trophy"

The Gran Turismo crowd are the biz at simulators. My brother works for a video game developer I've suggested a Supermoto game would be cool and would definately go like hot cakes and boost the popularity of the sport.

You are my hero.

I've been thinking the same thing for ages...

Riding Spirirts 2 has Supermoto's on it, pretty cool

**SPORK** · 17th September 2005, 23:31

Man, I just checked out the video... Blew me away!

Seriously, as soon as this comes out, I'm buying it.

I dunno, looks fantastic, but you can't simulate the handling of a bike without making the game impossible.

I tried some of the latest at the shops, race into a corner, brake far to late and do the sharpest turn on the grass and you don't come off...

And there was no sensation. That said, you couldn't make the handling realistic because then it would be impossible to play. Rock and a hard place, but I won't buy it.

It has: motogp series, 600cc series, 1000cc series and a 1200 (or is it 1300?) series also. Graphics are well improved and I thought I was playing a PS2 game when I first started playing it (thank goodness I wasn't after rechecking it was in fact an xbox). Although that other game that is spoke of, Riding Spirirts 2 sounds really cool. TT looks awesome also, but I am junlikely to get another gaming machine to play it.

Must buy that, it looks like one of the BEST ways to waste time on the playstation. Only for a rainy day because I wouldn't trade it for a sunny days riding.

Depends what settings you run the game at, if on real life simulation or hardest settings they can be tricky. I think on the PS2 MotoGP series just locking the front brake into a corner can have you off, never mind getting on the grass. The TT Superbikes game has the most spectacular crash sequences though

It looks mighty interesting, the video is cool. The latest bike game I've tried is MotoGP 2, it's good, but I still think they haven't got the handling right. I want to see if they've changed it at all in MotoGP3 which is supposed to be out for PC now.
Looks like I might have to save up for a PS2 though...

The thing with the handling in MotoGP2 is that when you lean the bikes, they seem to pivot about the point where the tyres contact the road.
In reality when you countersteer the bike pivots around its centre of gravity, which is considerably further up from the tyre contact patch.
Hopefully they get it right in TT.

Cool, I always wanted to tune my dumper...

I want moto GP 4 you can play as 125cc 250cc and Moto GP Rossi is on the Yamaha it looks pretty cool. But one of the best games in my opinions still has to be superbike 2001 it is hard you touch the white line at 280 klicks and your going down the track plus it has the New Zealand legend Aaron Slight
