Romier S Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Here is the link: Polyphony working on new Motorcycle game The next game from the people who make Gran Turismo won't be a Gran Turismo game. Polyphony Digital has announced its oft-rumored motorcycle simulator. Titled Tourist Trophy: The Real Riding Simulator, this PS2 title promises to do to two wheels what Gran Turismo did to four. On the eve of the Tokyo Game Show, Tourist Trophy has been unveiled on the pages of Famitsu magazine. Polyphony seems to be going all out with this one, with a collection of bikes from big bike makers like Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda. The developer is even including real life suits and helmets. While we're not sure how many bikes will feature in the game, Famitsu provides a partial list. Here's some of what you can expect to ride in Polyphony's first motorbike game: Honda CBR600RR Honda NSR250R SE Honda CB750F Honda CBR1100XX Yamaha YZF R-1 Yamaha MT 01 Yamaha TZR 250 SPR Yamaha Grand Majesty 250 Kawasaki ZRX1200R Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Suzuki GSX1400 Suzuki Hayabusa Suzuki GSX-R600 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. There are a few more details at that link. It should be interesting to see what they do with this.

rustyjaw Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 The game will make use of the PS2's analogue face buttons to determine throttle and breaking, which is similar to what Polyphony did with GT, only here on-screen displays will show exactly how hard you're pressing the buttons. Please Sony, release a controller with triggers for the PS3! Analog buttons just don't cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Will I need to spend hours maneuvering a Vespa Scooter through cones before I can ride the Ninja? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFo Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 What? No Harleys? You can't call it a motorcycle game with a Harley bike or two. I know for a fact that Harley fans would be all over a game that featured that brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 No Buells either, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hmmm...no American bikes, eh? :hmm Should I read more into that? Or, perhaps Harley doesn't want their bikes displayed in this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlot Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Damn, this is what I was hoping MotoGP 3 would be. Too bad I don't own a PS2, nor will I buy one. Of course a PS3, on the other hand, could be a possiblity... or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 First screenshot of the game is out: [ATTACH]302[/ATTACH] There is also a short trailer of the game available here: Tourist Trophy: The Real Riding Simulator I love the name of the game. Sounds like a good title for Jenna Jameson's latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRon Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Picked this up this week and I think I may be a convert to the sportsbike. The sense of speed is ridiculous in this game, although with just handle bars in front of me I don't think i could ever do it in real life. there's a clip on youtube to give an idea of the speed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OMSRuh8SnM&search=tourist Any of you guys get the game this week too?

Buck Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I had thought about it, but with the lack of online play, only 4 riders (including yourself) on the track at a time and the good ole GT A.I. I think I'll be passing. Of course I said the same thing about GT4 and I wound up buying it, so we'll see. The only reason I want it is to ride the Yamaha R6, but then again I can do that in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRon Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 buck, that bike is gorgeous man, unreal. I can only get to give a bike like that a ride in the game. I had thought about the online play as well, but i've always loved motorcycles and this looks like the best game out, so i went with it. how fast can that r6 go? looks like it could fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a blast to ride :tu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
