MGP17 First Look at MotoGP17 (?)

[Matthew327]

Leading up to the MotoGP weekend in Argentina, Milestone have posted a few images (probably) showing content from the new game. Unsurprisingly, the images look rather disappointing.

For as much as can be told from the five screenshots posted, there looks to be no major improvements over last year in terms of 3D model quality, textures or track surroundings.

Brilliant demolition derby

It pains me to see what has been done to Montmelo this year

Luis' loss was a tragedy but it was a freak accident that occurred on a layout that had been run for over a quarter of a century before its occurrence.

Yep, but i dont understand why the made the second modification either? cus it was the most crashed curve in past seasons?

If you mean turn 10, it's because they suddenly realised the walls were too close, which is true. Better late than never I guess

Seriously, what the F**K is the AI doing in the last turn at Montmelo?

Judging from that video, Milestone have managed to a) improve the physics a bit and b) find even worse test drivers than in the previous years. How come only people who miss every single apex qualify for an early hands-on test?

Finish line in Catalunya is still in a wrong place, isn't it?

That guy literally played the game for the first time.
You can't play a game for 10 minutes and give feedbacks.. or you could, but they would be so far off from reality.

Anyway I keep saying that I do not see any improvements from the last 2 years except the new bike sounds.

Yep . A reskin of textures and a reskin of Audio ;-)

Imposibble to watch... how they were celebrating 6th place but they did not know they had 7 seconds penalty

 

[Giovaneveterano]

This is off topic.
I just played MXGP 3, first time for me playing any MXGP games.
As always maximum difficulty with no assists.
Here my qualifying results:

I managed the pole in just 1 lap and I gave +3s to the 2nd one.. and it was my first lap in this game.
C'mon Milestone!
I can imagine what type of a challenge can the AI be against an experienced player..
Asking for a refund on Steam right now..

That is plain ridiculous.

About MXGP3 : same here ...
My controller is not yet supported (of course !) so I'm testing the game with the keyboard (I suck at it) and as expected : it's as easy as every other Milestones games.
Visually, the switch to Unreal Engine is really not impressive.

It's not totally off topic, a few MotoGP fans here seem to expect a more challenging AI for MotoGP 17 and were disappointed that it will not benefit from Unreal Engine.
Seeing what they have done with MXGP3, I'm relieved they didn't change the graphic engine yet and I really doubt we'll be satified with the AI level.
At least with MotoGP we'll get managerial career even if it's probably not very deep.

 

[Giovaneveterano]

Yes, the biggest disappointment is the UE 4.. it makes the game looks different, but not clearly better.

 

[Pascal Herbig]

Preordered the game today on Amazon. Previews look really promising. Sound seems to have a massive improvement.

 

[Matthew327]

So I just watched a few gameplay videos...

ARE THOSE SHADOWS REALLY THAT HORRIBLE? Just look at the shadow that bike is casting... a giant blob of darkness!

That is ridiculous.

OFF TOPIC ALERT

I am playing SBK Generations these days and I would love if there was another Superbike game with actual rosters.... I think Generations is the best what Milestone has ever done

The best motorcycle game ever is SBK2001!
Made from Milestone...17 years ago.
