GP Bikes Alpha 1 Released

Bean0 · 8 May 2008 at 18:45

This looks like it could have some potential, I can't remember a decent bike racer on the PC...

It plays pretty well, although I'm only using keys for the moment.

Just downloaded, installed and had a go and...

OMG! It's goooood! :eek:

Seriously, even for an alpha I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I switched all the aids off, and used my 360 pad and with the exception of braking alittle too hard

on many occasions I love how it feels. :cool:

Definitely potential here.

Not bad. I'm guessing leaning doesn't work in the alpha?

Well,used to play this game a while ago (been out of the scene for a bit) and this was by far the best bike based racing game released,great modding community,up todate riders/bikes released on a regular basis,different bikesets,eg: 250`s/superbikes et al....

The physics are spot on and the online racing`s a tense affair!

I feel a re-install coming on

Just played the demo and im definately getting the full alpha, even if it does cost money. This game plays REALLY well with a 360 pad.

It's one of those games that makes you want to master every corner and get that little bit of extra speed through them. Awesome game and for an alpha its amazing! :cool:

oooooh ive been waiting for a decent bike racer. downloading now and ill report back soon

Drifting?

Ice, ice baby...? Is it ice or just wet?

Down and dirty... Ooooh, nice angle.

Oops, that's not going to do the rear tyre much good...

Is this a modern game or from 1995? Graphics look a bit :eek:

Skeeter · 10 May 2008 at 01:45

Exceptionally hard to control. But its clearly trying to be a sim so ill let it off...

Not my cup of tea though

I bought a CD-key which allows you to race online. It also gives 2 more bikes (GP 990's by the look of em) and Laguna Seca. The 990 bikes are seriously hard to control, almost impossible at times.

The online racing needs quite a lot of work. The game lags when someone connects and it can be quite laggy at times, but this depends on the hosts connection speed more then anything i think. The creators have said that anyone who buys a CD-key will get all updates as they come out and hopefully some really nice mods will be made aswell.

At the moment theres hardly any content for the 20 Euros that you pay for the CD-key, but im hoping they will update the game often.

Time will tell i suppose.

Not played a game this hard since GPL!
Good fun but the bike/controls just doesnt feel natural.

kvfb97 · 24 May 2008 at 22:34

Can't wait for the next release.
