Motocross This is where most of you down and dirty types will most likely race. Street racing will include such well-known circuits as Sachsenring in Germany, Suzuka in Japan, and Australia's Eastern Creek Raceway. Street Take your high-powered superbike out on a paved track. This time around Delphine is offering up six different competitions, each with three courses:
Moto Racer 3 will feature independent back and front suspension, gyroscopic effect, slipstream, full control of the bike during jumps with suspension compression, and full interaction between the rider and the bike thanks to a new animation system based on inverse kinematics.
So how far is Delphine going to make Moto Racer 3 a true motorcycle racing sim? Well, for starters, they've collected statistics from various manufacturers for each bike as well as telemetric data to accurately simulate motorbike physics and behavior.
Delphine is going for more of a simulation feel to the game this time around over Moto Racer 2's arcade stylings, but you will be able to tweak the difficulty levels to your individual tastes and skill level. As in the two previous Moto Racer games, you'll be able to compete in both street and dirt bike competitions. Graphics are nice, but you have to have a solid game underneath, and Delphine certainly isn't scrimping on the options in Moto Racer 3. You can play the game in resolutions all the way up to 1600x1200 in a variety of third person views and one of the best and most detailed first person cockpit views I've ever seen, but with full scene anti-aliasing, the game looks beautiful even at 800圆00. Little touches like moving hands, motion captured riders, flying dirt, and smoking tires make the experience that much more genuinely lifelike. Everything from the bike models to the courses to the bikers are rendered in amazing detail, and special effects such as lens flare, dynamic shadows, shadow and reflection mapping, multi-texturing, and specular lighting give Moto Racer 3 an incredibly realistic look without being too over the top. The graphics are nearly photo-realistic, and you literally have to take a good look at Moto Racer 3 in action to tell if you're looking at a real race or a game, especially in the traffic races in Paris. As you can tell from the accompanying screenshots and movies, Moto Racer 3 looks absolutely spectacular - and the team still has a lot of polish to put on the final game. While Moto Racer 3 looked good at the Infogrames event, it looks absolutely stunning now. We saw Moto Racer 3 at a recent Infogrames event a few weeks ago, but we got an updated look at the game at an EA event in Europe this past week, and it's amazing what a couple of weeks can mean in the game development world. While Moto Racer and the sequel were published by Electronic Arts, Infogrames has the rights to publish Moto Racer 3.at least in the States. Although some blasted it for its arcade gameplay, it still stands as one of my favorite motorcycle racing games of all time - so you can imagine my excitement when we recently had a chance to check out Delphine's progress with the next installment in the critically-acclaimed series. It's been nearly three years since Delphine wowed us with Moto Racer 2.
