MotoRacer 2 - Wish List ... participate NOW

by GFolger8 » Sat, 18 Oct 1997 04:00:00

I'd like to see more of a simulation type Motocross game.  Although gameplay
 and graphics were cool I race MX and found it wasn't very fun for me.  Please
 give me there address I'd like to give them some input also.  

Thanks,
Gary

Or as I suggested, they could have an arcade/simulation option.

Hi Doug,

MR2 really needs something to improve the *gameplay* and
replayability. MR was great but dull as toast after about a week.

Why not look to other great arcade racers for ideas? I'd LOVE to see
non-circuit tracks, with traffic and cops like in NFS1. On such tracks
it should be possible to catch air even with the street bikes.

Also, how about a simulation mode where bikes are controlled more
realistically? Steering and leaning should be seperate functions (and
leaning to the left should steer you right as on a real bike at high
speed).

Lastly, ditch the "invisible walls" on some tracks, I hate those damn
things. Either make it "drive anywhere" or put in physical barriers
like most of the street tracks in MR have.

Oh yeah, and TCP/IP multiplay, so we don't need KALI (a program I've
never had any luck with).

Joe

Some of my MR suggestions....

Circle tracks for dirt bikes one completely flat and another with some jumps.
This would make outstanding multiplayer racing.

Also an Ice Circle Track for dirt bikes with spikes!

The Street Bike courses more like Speed Bay and Fun Fair. Meaning trakcs that
are easier to navigate which makes a much better multiplayer racing scenario.
There's not much fun racing multiplayer when everybody is scattered due to
unrealistic (difficult) tracks ala bumping edges. So I'm more for wider more
realistic road courses. Making the driving line the most important thing not
if one bumps the edges more or less.

Also a nice banked oval for the street bikes would be nice.

I don't care if they add setups or not, just make sure the bikes are very
controllable. They are now.

Maybe add some more physics on the dirt courses.

Maybe a bus jumping scenario!!!!

Different bike classes would be nice.

Keep the cd spawning as is. Meaning 1 cd for us lan guys. Thanks!!!

Less pop-up and clipping would be nice.

Always improvement room for actual motor sounds.

Weather changes.

Time of day changes.

Allow us to race as many laps as we want to.

Please don't undersetimate the oval tracks. They should be easy to do anyways.

Q.B.M.
