Why? None of those are anything like Ride 2. GP bikes is unplayable to most casual gamers anyway.

It will be coming to North America, right? God, I'm pumped! I want this game so bad. Even with the flaws of the original, I still play it almost every day.

any of you guys ever get ride, its ok, but really slow loading times tho, photomode is ok, apart from no shutter speed. @MeanElf @torque99 @doblocruiser

Nice pictures 👍 I followed the build up and think it looks well worth getting, though I doubt I will be able to for a while. I liked Milestone's MXGP II for its photo mode and I could mostly stay on the bike too! So yeah, one day.
@imported_rik19 On my radar but not bought it yet..I was thinking about it when Drive Club Bikes came out and I never got it at the time..I think I prefer Cars though overall, so probably not for me:tup:

Total bummer no shutter speed option...grrrrr
Nice shots @imported_rik19 👍 I can't understand another developer who went to all the effort for a decent photo mode but didn't include the most important thing 'Shutter speed!' 
When movement of cars and bikes are involved it is essential to have this for the final photo, maybe for scenery based games they can get away with it for distance shots but for any vehicles involved it needs it for the wheels/blur. Dirt rally no blur/shutter speed on replay, Madmax no shutter speed on the move, NFS no movement shots (snapshot only) & Ride- no shutter speed ^^.
Oh well at least most decent games have it but it is annoying and I can not understand why the exclude it surely someone on the team must own a camera or know of someone to check the main settings required before release

Thanks for the tip @imported_rik19 I have a motorcycle license but I am not to much into games with bikes so I will probably skip this one. More of a car guy myself but I think in the year to come we will have a lot of stuff to enjoy ourselves with within the several photomodes. Yesterday I saw the implemented photomode from the Crew on youtube and that was pretty impressive. If more developers choose the ways of PD, TURN10, EVOLUTION and UBISOFT we will be in photographer's heaven

I wouldn't expect laser scanning from Milestone because they're not a big company. But it still looks fun, they've got my attention again.
Wow, Milestone are really stepping up their game with content. I'm impressed. There's a 2006 Kawasaki Z1000, which was something I wanted. There's so much more bike variety, safe to say they've won me back.

My thoughts exactly. Milestone knows how to deliver some damn great content from time to time but always falls short on where it really matters (at least to me); mainly physics and sounds.
Macau, Northwest 200 and Ulster GP are fantastic additions though.

NURBURGRING and a good selection of bikes are all I need! Everything else is a bonus! Take my money! 👍

I saw this video the other day with some game footage. Not sure if it was PS4 (
its in the title lol its too early for this) but the loading times seem pretty short. The percentage goes up pretty fast them waits for a button press to continue.

The loading times were the #1 factor to lead me to shelve this game for months. I've recently come back to give it a second chance, venturing beyond the first couple sets of events. It's definitely one of those innovative-yet-broken bargain bin games with cult appeal; it's objectively poor (XB360 version), but overall I'm happy with it and the sequel is a must-have on my PS4 wishlist, especially if it's more polished.
Echoing some others here, the physics make the game. I play on "Pro" with no assists and split brakes (right stick for throttle/front brake, RT for rear brake), and it's nicely satisfying. Some concessions are clearly made in terms of traction and how easily you can get away with slipping or locking either tire, so it's not so hardcore as to be impractical, but it's much more of a simulator than Tourist Trophy, which honestly isn't hard to top. I didn't expect it to be quite this good. 👍
Along with overall polish, I hope they do a better job of balancing the career mode and AI, because it's no fun to have to ride the fastest eligible bike with all of its upgrades just to keep up well enough on straightaways to have a chance to win, no matter how perfectly you tackle corners. Figuring that out makes or breaks your early career in the first game, while you're still trying to earn money.

They seem to have improved the on-bike and helmet cameras to be smoother like Tourist Trophy. TT is the only game in which I've been able to use that kind of view; the first RIDE is like most others, too twitchy and disorienting with the horizon tilt. The immersive quality of TT's on-bike camera was a significant part of how that game got me interested in riding a motorcycle in real life.I saw this video the other day with some game footage.

Yeah, never good seeing stuff like that suddenly jump up. Milestone have been pretty decent in the past about delay warnings and the like - so here's hoping it's an anomaly.

Another team VVV video this one is an overview of the PS4 version. I got it pre-ordered because I can't be bothered to go to the shop early morning lol. Grainger games have it for £35 pretty cheap really I think
