TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch? 

Agreed, even though lots of critics just say that it's a boring game, I totally love it. This really has been done properly.

I agree as well. I totally understand why a lot of people don’t like it - it’s NOT easy. And even if you’re a competent driver in car racing game, TT will humble you quickly. But once you put in some time and start learning the nuances of controlling a motorcycle, it’s incredibly rewarding. The first time you’re able to chain 3-4 corners together smoothly, you’ll be hooked. I foresee a LOT of hours spent in this game over the next couple of years...

It’s 50 dollars on sale. Isnit worth it I know nothing about bikes. But like Motorsport like project cars 2 and forza 7

Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to hear. I'll probably pick it up when it's not $72 ON XBOX... Jeeeez

@@speeddemon467 Except they aren't saying it's too hard. They are saying it's boring. It's because there is very little action and almost no interaction with other riders. It's just the nature of timed races. The thing that disappoints me are the horrible graphics and lack of dynamic points of articulation with how the bikes move and shift around, especially on uneven surfaces. The speed and blur effects are top notch but the foliage and the environment are pathetic. I can understand some repetition in patterns of grass and bushes but it looks like they copied and pasted the same three bush patterns all over the sides of the track. Even at high speed the edges pixelate and get squared off at times. I get the pop up that's a lot of surface area to travel through pretty quickly. Come on with this landscape though. Distant background images look better than close fully rendered assets. The lack of dynamic interactive movement between the suspension, the front and rear wheel grip, amount of contact patches effect on traction, chassis tortion, and offset shifting center of gravity that happens when transitioning over uneven surfaces, landing with the wheels slightly misaligned, making last second corrections, or evasive maneuvers to avoid downed riders. I have yet to see a speed wobble. You get a slight sensation of instability going over jumps but it isn't fleshed out enough at all. Most of the time it seems like your wheels are on a rail. Where are the power slides and the back tire drifting slightly due to so much front brake lifting the back end? The current console hardware is capable of much better than this. When you watch a rider's view of street courses there is a "hanging onto the ragged edge of a balance between speed and staying on the bike" feel. This game has a very sterile feel. Of course there will be some precision but they don't capture the immersion of hanging on for your life while trying to be precise. I remember a Moto TT from the 360 I had that had a great feeling of being in the saddle. You could really feel your tires hookup and you got shot out of a cannon when they did. What happened that we have taken steps backwards with a next gen installment? Maybe I've just seen way to much footage of the actual event and have too high of standards. The game is just ok gameplay wise. It could have been great if given a more immersive feel.

nothing at all wrong with that. I do at times as well for sure

Very true what you say ,this game is against the clock not a mass start

no the game is not. You have the choice as I discuss in the video

Yes! When I got "Dirt Rally" in the Humble Bundle subscription, it was like a whole new world opened to me. When there's other drivers I get a bit aggro, and have to try to be first... also I tend t be the guy who uses NPC racers as bowling bumpers to keep me on the road in corners lol. But in time trial I'm okay with coming in 2nd or 3rd, especially if my time was close. And if I can finish an event with overall points to keep me in 1-3 place I'm cool with finishing in 4th or 5th in a race or two.

Yeah, that's my point. When I race against AI opponents, it always feels like most of them are there to slow me down. That's their only purpose for existing. Throw in a bunch of cars on a narrow track with lots of turns, and you got a problem. That's why I prefer the lonely racers. Win or loose, it's all on me. Of course, I do admit it can get a bit too lonely at times. You can't really beat going side by side with some guy into a tunnel, and coming out side by side with his door, hood and a tire. Whoopsie. Lol.

agreed

Im actually from the isle of man and i think that on of the worst crashes in the TT was in 2011 on balluagh bridge

More stupid than brave

Says he who's never accomplished anything in his lame little life...

Napoleon Wilson Hahaha someone with no balls 😂

boothegoo pc assetto corsa can't handle this entire track at full scale or it would have been done years ago

Exactly, it's amazing just to ride it. No need for bloated bullshit.

Correct. Bought it TT week just to try and attempt to learn it.

It was worth the wait

Yea I noticed that while playing aswell, it's weird lol.

StaggieMackie Tell that to the Dunlops, they're gonna be like "What rain" and keep going lmao

Why do you think it's called TT? It stands for Tight Tush. ;-)

Funny and original

Sun Levi well here I am only putting one soul into things 🤦🏾‍♂️

....WHAT I didn't know that controller existed man! Brooks is a fine company though I use a number of their adaptors

Do you counter steer with that controller ?

Wow! I actually got the Yamaha MS-1 bike controller. I think I bought it for Tourist Trophy back in the PS2 years. Looks like I need to buy this Brook adapter to revive it. Can you remap any key/buttons on that controller for PS4 games? Thanks for the info!

If you click on my name there is a quick (and crappy) video I made using the Yamaha MS-1 handlebars with Ride 2. I sound like an idiot in the video because I made it quickly without preparing and because I was excited about getting it to work. I just got IOM yesterday and the handlebars work perfectly with it. In IOM select “custom” on the controller setups and you can map the MS-1 buttons however you want. And yes, I was able to get to counter steer. I push the right bar up/forward to turn right and vice versa, instead of steering it like I was using a steering wheel. Just realize that it’s not like a real bike where you also lean and feel the gyroscopic effect. My friends who have tried it keep wrecking because they try to steer it like a car, so I might switch it back from counter steering.

Thanks! I just saw your video and left a question. Good point about counter steering setup. Yes indeed in real bike we lean and counter steer most of the time unless making slow turns. I will have to see how natural that feels after I got my setup running.

glad you like the content!

Yeah racing games are on a downwards slant, this is very niche as well.

A lower price point would probably sell more copies, which would in theory cover development cost. I can't believe they will sell enough for profitability though I may be underestimating the size of the superbike videogame market. $29.99 sounds about right for the casually intersted.

29.99 is right for the casual, but 60 is right for the passionate, so why giving up 30 when you can sell it at full price for a couple of months and lower the price for later and get both markets?

Barry Mulligan hehe "TeeTee I love man"

7:35 - when a game review includes the word 'ejaculate' :D

redbox, bluebox, over 150 websites with rentals and trades, and of course gamefly which is international, as well as tons of gamefly alternatives. Thats not even counting the digital stores where you can do various rental styles offerings.

Really? I had no idea about any of those. Thanks for letting me know, need to look into them immediately. The last game I rented was 11 years ago at a movie gallery.

its also why I say deep deep sale as well in the video. but ya. Tons of them. More rental style services now than 6 years ago when it was at its lowest.

I'm in Texas, and we have some Family Video stores (think Blockbuster, gasp!) in the local area as well.

No, but you do get to see Jeremy Clarkson

Aswin Rajkumar no isle of man circuit on there ,that's what the bikers are after the circuit

Aswin Rajkumar just get Motorcycle Club and rest assured you’ll own the best bike game on PS4

You can try out the motorcycle racing on DriveClub as one of the bikes is free and available to race in the game, if it’s to your liking then you can buy the DLC

Its about as lean as the actual race its named after. You dont ride superbikes at top speed in bad weather and you certainly dont ride in packs to increase the chances that you'll take out everyone else if you lose it. This review is a bit unfair because it seems to compare it to generic bike racing games.

Exactly! Or a BSA or any of the old racers that made it what it is. It would take to long to program tickling the carburetors and the dripping oil.

very cool

Wait woah, does that mean two-players in one vehicle, or just effectively a handling mod for single player?

Ride 2 has the North West 200 & Dundrod. This is Isle Of Man TT and 9 fictional tracks. Some scenery taken from the various locations Ireland, Scotland & Wales. But still made up.

Ow, fictional? :( This was a 50/50 buy from me, but not with 9 fictional tracks.

Nope. I hope they add Ulster, NW200 and Southern 100 as DLC.

Pretty niche game really, people who watch road racing are generally an older crowd, def not worth 60 but I would buy it for 20

Rudy Flores dont buy it its absolutely awful

thanks

no I have not

thanks

Another 'Fun fact', you're a tactless piece of shit.

Its very cool
