MGP18 MotoGP 18 - First Gameplay Footage (and it looks goooood)

[Paul Jeffrey]

Milestone have released the first gameplay footage from MotoGP 18 using the Unreal 4 engine, showing a very visually pleasing new title.

Although only just over one minute in length, this new video release from the upcoming MotoGP 18 title is the first time we have seen the Unreal 4 game engine in action, and judging from what we've been shown so far it looks like a very visually impressive title and a step up in every respect from previous iterations of the long running MotoGP official game series.

Visual impressions aside, one thing that does cause some concern is the current version of the game AI. Although in the early development stages, it concerns me greatly that the player (using the Valentino Rossi Yamaha) can race with Marc Marquez without some kind of dirty move by the Spaniard.. not realistic at all...

MotoGP 18 will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC this June 7th, with Nintendo Switch release to follow later in the year.

I do not agree. My eyes work, i use them for my job, i am a designer graphician.
Did you used your eyes to compare? Well, not me, actually i looked inside the game files.
Textures resolution: same as 17
Bike model polygons: same as 17
Cameras: identical to 17 (sense of speed: zero)
Track textures resolution: same as 17
Track polygons: guess? Same.
How the hell can it be visually better?

The tracks are now acceptable, the old tracks were hideous and inaccurate. Bikes have been scanned as well. The riding styles look better, there are more animations and they are more realistic.

18 is visually ages ahead of 17. Actually, graphics is what improved mostly.
The rest isn't great, physics is a bit better but nothing special. Career is boring, so is AI.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to say 18 isn't visually better...don't make me laugh
