Steve: could we get a video of you riding at Phillip Island. I think this is the best track to showcase the gameplay. It has long straights, 2 hairpins and a few long sweeping turns and it showcases various degrees of lean angle. This way we could see how the game handles turning and you could show us the tuck and when it should be used. Also it has some quick left rights and that is what I really want to see, how the game looks going through the chicanes. Show us the rear tire come up, show us a wheelie, show us the rear tire lock up and whiggle on hard braking, show us the front end wash, show us a highsider.

I also had a suggestion, strickly frill so not really important. But I thought it would be cool if the d-pad gave you various rider emotions. Each direction could be assigned a reaction. Up and Down negative (shake fist, tap helmet, etc) left right positive (a very emphatic point a la Lorenzo at Indy, holding up #1 finger, kick out both legs on wheelie, etc.) I'm sure these buttons could have better use for racing, but if they don't we should be able to pick from a list of reactions and assign one to each direction. This would make multiplayer cool cause you could let some idiot know just how pissed you are hahahaha. Again this is just frills so its not that important.

Aww too bad, I'm always looking for more people to race with. We got a fairly good crew. I can't beleive you guys actually pay to play online!

I will tell you it beats all the little kids you wind up with on the playstation.  Most people who play the 360 cause they have to pay usually have jobs.  When I made the switch from PS to XBOX I was so amazed at how much better all around it really is.  You should get on man I am tellin ya your missing out.

At 1:54:xx on that video the lean and transition of movement looks better than right at first, which resembles Namco's versions.

Ahh, 4 more months and I'll hand Capcom and Monumental my $60 then I'll give my opinion..

PS- Man that song? Ewww its grating on the nerves, the chic sounds as though shes trying for that Elvis tailing on her lines... Really bad/annoying, but better than rap for sure!   

Another PS, that does have something to do with the topic to a point.

I downloaded NFS Shift to give it a try and after a bunch of laps and a few different tweaks I realize, Man this sucks! The handling is awful? Why? The menus are a complete rip off of Grid. Why is the industry following suit with this garbage?

Great handling physics= easy, yet hard to master. NOT spin out, slippery, wishy washy crap! ewwww horrible! Why?
