Apparently many, many, many, many people are "mad." The Nürburgring is well-known as being one of the world's top biker destinations. When I went there myself, most of the other traffic consisted of motorcycles.

Those games were awesome!
👍Those games are great but if you've gone that long without playing a bike game your missing out.
Try SBK2001 or GP500 for the PC or TT Superbikes for the PS2. right now those are the best bike games out at the moment....IMO of course.
If you want to try GP500 or SBK2001 online please contact me. It's tought to find other bike racers online.

Bike games doens't interest me, but "T.T." is so similar to Gran Turismo, that I would consider it.

I was on the Nurburgring on 1st September this year, the weather was fine and this was enough for more than 180 bikers to race some hours. And i would like to see some normal bike to identify with like my ducati monster. MotoGP could be a bonus but necessary.

spritedid anyone notice customizable rider outfits?
im a big fan of anything i can dive and race, so bikes beign one of my loves (to watch), this game is welcome new as im getting a little bored with GT4, also dose anyone know if Photomode has been confirmed for TT?
As for tracks, the Ilse of Mann course will probably be left out and so will alot of long circuts, as they had all on getting The ring in GT4 and with the prospect of having more than six biks on screen im guessing they are going to need all the extra juice they can get.
No, I dont think that image displays customizable rider outfits. There is just an array of Arai helmets you can choose from.

I wouldn't say going to the ring on a bike is mad - we all need our kicks, and I'd like to go myself, but only after a trip or two in the car first.
What I was saying was mad is a ZX10R + nitrous + ring. Well, just the bike and nitrous would be pretty mad. If the bikes are modelled realistically I don't know how you'd keep it from flipping. If you're not giving it 100% throttle when you go on NoS, what's the point of NoS?

Heh - if the chain doesn't snap, the clutch doesn't slip or part of the engine internals don't decide they've had more than enough, thank you very much.

I too have a ducati monster and would love to see some 'normal' bikes in there. If it is anything like the main series though I don't think we have anything to fear (aside from weird liscnecing issues)
from IGN:
"The final selection will include a small number of motorcycles from the 80s, although 70% will be from the 90s to the present. Although the above makers are all Japanese, the final game will feature European bikes as well. "

I didn't see anything groundbreaking in the article, but I'll just highlight the interesting parts(there isn't much):
The control of the bikes will be affected by the "riding form" of the rider.
It will feature from scooters(mopeds) to "monster bikes".
In the interview, KY recalls how he wanted to make a bike game someday. When GT4 was finished, he figured it was the right oppotunity for the P.D. to make the game. Then he talks about how motorcycle racing is so different from the automobile racing, and he wants to show the uniqueness of motorcycle racing. KY also says that he "knocked" on the automobile culture with the GT Series and lot of people responded. Now he wants to do the same to the motorcycle culture, and he can't wait to see how people will respond to it.
Sorry I was kinda in a hurry, but now I gotta get to the basketball court in 12 minutes!!

Hmm...looks like IGN's preview was just a summary of the Japanese article. IGN didn't mention the mopeds, "monster" bikes, or "riding form," though...
And actually, it isn't Yamauchi who's directing TT...

Wolfe2x7...when I first heard about this game, I figured it was going to be just as disappointing as GT4, and only worth a purchase for the tracks and bikes. But I read the IGN article, and Kazunori Yamauchi isn't directing it!!
Instead, a relatively new PD employee by the name of Takamasa Shichisawa, a bike lover with ten years of experience as an amateur bike racer, is directing it.
Maybe T.T. will be realistic after all...
...but considering the obvious fact that it's based on GT4's engine, that probably won't be true...

Holy cow! Is Famitsu still around? I used to love that magazine, when I was a kid.SambertoAhh, thats better- it feels like the old days waiting for GT4. Im endeavouring to get my hands on the famitsu article, so Ill be doing some pestering of my own.
Anytime, and yes, I did. Thanks!FatAssBR
Right. The guy in the photo of the interview, right next to Yamauchi, he's the director. The article says KY is the Producer, and Shichisawa(director) is the guy who told KY that he wanted to make a bike game and got him interested in the idea.Wolfe2x7
Not in the original article, but I don't know how old that is....Cosmic
