Xbox: MotoGP 09/10

[Pittenger5]

Been keeping my eye on it after 08 was a relative disappointment. They've taken their time on this one, so hopefully it will have fixed a lot of the nit picky things I hated about 08. I'm still waiting for the day they add tracks that ARENT necessarily motogp tracks (CMON LOUDON).

Some details are starting to leak out, including a demo that should be out sometime this month.

"Capcom has detailed their plans for MotoGP 09/10 with free DLC to follow shortly after the game's March release.

The first of the two free DLC packs will contain the 800cc bike class with all the bike, rider and team liveries, as well as the brand new tracks for the 2010 MotoGP season – the revamped Silverstone circuit and Balatonring in Hungary.

The second pack will include all the bike, rider and team livery updates for the 600cc and 125cc bike class, giving players brand new MotoGP 2010 data far earlier than ever before.

There will also be a demo making its way to the Xbox Live Marketplace a month before MotoGP 09/10's launch date.

Saddle us up for some superbike racing action."

I would to see 125's on laguna

[jamesbernatchez]

Sweet. Been playing MotoGP 07 the past week and have checked out the demo of '08. I hope '09 is better than the two. Although I think '07 is the best so far.

I think they only follow what the real world runs.

Since only the 800cc class runs there for the MotoGP series, they don't include it.

No shit.

But it would be fun To do

[Pittenger5]

I really really REALLY wish they would include American tracks as well. Just for fun.

[butcher bergs]

Like VIR, Jennings and such?

[Pittenger5]

Like VIR, Jennings and such?

Loudon. Correct.
Hell, even some famous European courses would be fun, Isle Of Man, Macau, some of the BSB tracks, things like that. Im sure these are all mapped already, just need to buy the rights or whatever, maybe clean them up for graphics. I cant imagine they have to do TOO much with the current tracks year after year.

[butcher bergs]

Yeah, it'd be sweet to have some unlocks either in the game on on Live or something.

How many people outside of this area would be able to handle Loudon tho?

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Macau China is now in Europe?

[Pittenger5]

Macau China is now in Europe?

If it aint america, its europe.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

If it aint america, its europe.

Care for some Freedom Fries with that?

[butcher bergs]

If it aint america, its europe.

Exactly what I was typing.

[Sprinkles]

I'm glad they fixed the first person view so only the bike leans.

[Pittenger5]

I watch a lot of Ricky Bobby and I approve that message.

[FireboltEric_MA]

Got a few minutes in, so far VERY impressed .Seems like this could be THE motorcycle game we've been waiting for. Arcade mode is mostly challenges, seem like fun. Obviously theres championship modes, as well as time trials which could lead to some smack talk amongst NESRs. They finally put a help line in on the track which will help people get accustomed to the track and stuff. Didnt get to play online yet, so cant comment.
One thing that will take getting used to, you no longer can just let go of the steering to have the bike automatically upright. You need to push the other direction, which led to a couple instances where I oversteered trying to get the bike upright. Not a dealbreaker by any stretch, but it will def take some getting used to.

[2v2Ducati]

yeah getting rid of the bikes "auto righting" is annoying but not a huge deal, i just tend to over compensate.
