@rc211v: In a word no. Motogp14 is like a new game compared to motogp13. You can now quite easily lose the front end on the brakes. The physics in the game are now much more challenging than motogp13. Mid corner speed is right down and you can lose control of the bike much more easily when rear wheel steering and/or powering out of corners. AI is much, much more competitive than it was in motogp13 and at least shows a degree of intelligence this time round. Again no comparison in this respect to motogp13. Tyre wear dynamics actually work this time. However, biggest improvement is the penalty system online for off track excursions. If you go off track the penalty clock starts and continues to tick for the number of seconds you are beyond the boundaries of the game. This works really well and has completely got rid of any potential for cheating and corner cutting.

All in all a vast improvement on motogp13. A different game.

My only slight quibble is that the bikes in the game feel quite light and easy to change direction and flick into bends. Too light in truth. But in fairness modern motogp bikes turn on a sixpence as did the old 500cc grand prix bikes that are also in the game..

Main attraction with motogp14 though is the accessibility of online racing. And the quality of online racing on PS4 and xbox 360/PS3 is very, very good. Believe me. It's huge fun.

Look, motogp14 is not gpbikes. It's a different genre. Motogp14 is a mainstream multi-platform racing game. gpbikes is a simulation of motorcycle racing. But for what motogp14 and gpbikes are for each genre they are both fantastic achievements in my opinion.

I have to say though that for me in terms of a fusion of game/simulation the gp500 pc game for me still takes a lot of beating. The gp500 pc game with updated graphics is still a great game after all those years. Racing round the TT mountain course online still gives me a great buzz..

It's horses for courses at the end of the day isn't it?

Thanks for the correction. I know that the game is quite fun if you aren't looking for a simulation since I used to play online with a few friends and I like the career mode where you can start from a Moto3 rider and work your way up. I was just basing it on my experience with the 2013 version but it seems like they've improved some things which is good to hear. The steam reviews mention that the game isn't a great PC port though which is disappointing.

I've try the game , and i've been impresed , i play in career in HARD with pro physics and that really hard ( not the physic  ) but my best place is 8 in 4 race ...
finally we have a challenge in this game

Safety-car mod is fun like 10 second and after boring

If the game is anything like MotoGP 13, the reason it's hard is because the AI thinks it's playing bumper cars and tries to knock you out on every corner.
Also, I love how you can use the front brake almost continuously through a corner at maximum lean angle.

Delete the stuff in this folder and restart the game.

I can't get below a 1.29 sadly. Though last month I said the same about below 1.30 so at least I'm slowly getting there.

I found a simpler solution: delete your user profile folders in Documents/Piboso and restart the game. Works like a charm.

I'm having the same problem now. It was working fine just a few days ago. I booted it up to play today and it just crashes immediately. Maybe the latest Nvidia drivers (337.88) messed something up?

Re-installation didn't work either. I was so pumped to play after the race on Sunday as well 

great job rc211v

Thanks!

GP Bikes has 4 official Bikes, 1 official track. Just saying. I'd rather have hundreds of each, then only being able to have a limited number of licensed tracks and bikes that parent company gets to choose from.

I'm not sure I completely understand your point but it seems like you're assuming modding and proper development are mutually exclusive, which they absolutely don't have to be. Imagine having a bunch of full-time artists and developers creating the MotoGP tracks and bikes and then letting modders do what they like afterwards. Something akin to Skyrim and its modding community. The issue is that this sort of sim is not as popular as it needs to be to warrant such funding and attention, though perhaps a kickstarter/crowdfunding could help in proving that there is such a market.

I understand your point of view and partially share it, but from what I've seen, our amateur modders here are not that far from pro level (and some are clearly on par).

MaX.

I agree and I'm not downplaying the talents of the modding community but there is certainly a limit to what can be done without the finances, proper dev tools and man power.

[I would rather have Piboso work on our favorite racing sim, and the community work on the tracks, bikes and series we want to race and compete in.]

In many ways I would like to see Milestone lose their licence with DORNA and for someone else to be given the opportunity of making a video game worthy of the sport of motogp. Someone like PiBoSo.

I don't mind Milestone it serves a purpose do I find it realistic no. Do I like GP Bikes better yes of course!

At the same time I love GP Bikes and play daily. I wouldn't want Dorna to be part of GP Bikes. Because then it would just be a MotoGP game, which I do love the series. At the same time we wouldn't have the modding community we have. Since everything would have to go through Dorna to Ok first. I would rather have Piboso work on our favorite racing sim, and the community work on the tracks, bikes and series we want to race and compete in.

A simulation you should have to learn to use to get good at it. Even if it takes months or even years. A game is about setting a world record 2 days after you got it.

Kind of reminds me of the old Chris Rock joke, when people have a piece of sh*t car, but they got expensive rim's and there spin'in!

You'd really rather have the community do the tracks and bikes instead of professionals? I'm all for modding but it should be supplementary. Obviously this is an indie game so I don't ask for or expect the one/two developers to do all the work but in an ideal situation, a team of professional artists and programmers would make the game x10 better, assuming they have the right ideas.

You can get rid of the replay HUD by pressing the space bar.

Well the graphics in that Moto3 video aren't as impressive as the other trailers seem to suggest. Disappointing.

Looks like they've improved graphics and implemented a really nice DoF. I'm actually tempted to buy it since I can play the season mode with the different riders though I remember when I played the MotoGP 13 demo for too long I got rusty at GP Bikes :p

Anyone else considering it?

You kidding?! I was curious, so I installed the '13 demo version from Steam - I got sick after 5 secs and didn't even finish one lap - it is just that bad. It just shows that visuals are not really important. It's like lying in bed with a hot woman. But she is just lying there... stone cold and not showing any emotion. And now compare that to a woman, visuals are not stunning, but ok - and she is really active, passionate, kinky - it is obvious which one is more fun

in case you didn't get it:
- hot, sexy but incredibly boring woman = MotoGP14
- visually ok and kinky woman that makes you crazy for her = GPB

Well I know the handling sucks but the fact is that the tracks are complete and there is a wide choice of riders/liveries. It's fun to just mess around with. It's like not playing Need For Speed because Iracing is more accurate.

There's also actual AI so you can have proper races (even if the AI isn't great) instead of hotlapping or racing with just 3 other people online.

Moved topic in the right section + renamed it to get a unique topic on this game + merged the second topic about it 

Thanks! I initially tried searching for motogp 14 but nothing showed up so I made a thread.
