or both? quote Jedimike: "Got my new OXM in the mail last week and was rather shocked to see a MotoGP 3 preview. Once the information came out that Climax would be using XNA tools and that the release date was Fall '05, it became an assumption that the game was for Xenon... not Xbox. Well the OXM article clearly states that that it will indeed be released for Xbox... but the screenshots look too amazing. I just can't believe that the Xbox can handle such a game... furthermore, why wouldn't Climax take the opportunity to have a release title? MotoGP 3 will be lost in a library of over 600 games by the time it gets released. As a launch title it will be one of 25-50 games. Much better odds at being a success. I'm betting that Climax will do both. I'm sure MS would love for them to show just how scalable XNA is (motogp 3 is also for PC) and show the difference between games on Xbox and games on Xenon. Probably showing the Xenon version at 1080i resolution with 60+ fps and increased Xbox Live capabilities."

MotoGP 3 will most likley be one of the best racers on Xbox if it gets released on Xbox so it would still be a sucess. The MotoGP game on the PS2 is a different game from different deveolpers. -- Im too young for this s**t!

Climax are one of the pioneers of Xbox Live! The PS2 MotoGP games are completely not related to the Xbox ones (only by name), when you move over from say MotoGP 3 on the PS2 to MotoGP 1 on Xbox you'll soon realise that. 8-) The PS2 MotoGP games are just nothing in comparison. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK. http://www.halflifeportal.com/ All things Half-Life. http://www.xbox2portal.com/ Xbox 2 news. *Replace nospam with smirnov to reply by e-mail*

Yep I picked up MotoGP2 from MVC for �19.99 (laughs out loud) and it is a knockout, really fast, no slowdown at all and a totally different experience from say PGR2 which of course it is meant to be. GP2 is live compatible so it would be absolutely stupid of the developer not to release the next version un-live so to speak, as it would for any developer for any game series. For example can you imagine a PGR3 or Halo3 without live - oh no time to slit the wrists! Col. -- Remove the 'old' to reply to me. GT: Mr Musashi
