Hard-hitting questions about the upcoming MotoGP 09/10, straight from the Unity forums to the devs, asked and answered. They even answered the questions where you tried to be mean, so high-fives to them, and not least because this is on track (see what I did there?) to be the best MotoGP game of all time.

PS- who's with me that producer Greg Bryant's got those dreamy/creepy Elijah Wood "hobbit-eyes"?

Capcom will be spending the 4th of July out at the incredible Laguna Seca MotoGP event.  We'll actually be there from July 3rd-5th, and not just anywhere, but actually on Ducati Island.

Race fans will have a chance to play some MotoGP against each other, as well as against Ducati's race team.  Keep an eye out for some surprise give-aways, but if you're out at the show, be sure to stop by and give us some high-fives.

MotoGP 09/10 is coming to X360 and PS3 next March. With a brand new developer featuring the core team from fan-favorites MotoGP, MotoGP 2, and MotoGP 3, this one is going for broke.

You'll get the riders, tracks, and stats for the current season, and as the 2010 season starts, you can update with current, real-time rider stats for free.

You're also not just riding a bike anymore--career mode lets you manage a whole team, with engineers, managers, and even PR people, all of which affect your pro career.  When you are riding, you can just win, or win *and* stick it to your opponents by stealing points.  You can also do it all online, against people from around the planet, with complete leaderboards and even spectator mode.

CAPCOM® ANNOUNCES MotoGP 09/10 FOR THE 2010 SEASON

Capcom takes the popular MotoGP video game series in a refreshing new direction for racing fans

San Mateo, Calif. — June 18, 2009 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that MotoGP™ 09/10 is scheduled for release in March 2010 on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft® and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. This exciting new entry to the series is currently in development with Monumental Games, a team new to Capcom’s MotoGP series made of previous MotoGP game developers.

“We are thrilled that Capcom fans will have an opportunity to enjoy MotoGP with the freshest content running parallel to the real world GP season,” said Mona Hamilton, Vice President of Marketing for Capcom Entertainment. “This is an exciting development for the series.”

As the most comprehensive MotoGP game to date, MotoGP 09/10 will not only deliver all the bikes, riders and tracks from the 2009 championship, but brand new gameplay modes that offer rewards to the rider for their riding style. Furthermore, players will have the ability to update the game with accurate real-time content from the 2010 championship at no extra cost. MotoGP 09/10 will see the introduction of a fully realized Career Mode where players take part in the ultimate MotoGP world championship, competing in actual races and managing all aspects of their team. Gamers will hire engineers, team managers and press officers, all of which have a real impact on their career as a racing pro.

Complementing Career Mode, MotoGP09/10 will feature three additional gameplay modes to deliver the richest MotoGP experience ever. Arcade Mode is not limited to simply crossing the finish line, but adds a variety of challenges where players can earn and steal points from their opponents, encouraging a risk element for those who feel that simply leading the pack isn’t enough. As the only officially licensed MotoGP videogame title, MotoGP 09/10 will naturally allow gamers to compete in a full championship season across any of MotoGP’s three bike classes. For those who like to pit their skills against fellow racers from around the globe, MotoGP 09/10 offers a robust online mode with leader boards and spectator mode.

MotoGP Wii (say it out loud, it's fun!) arrives next Tuesday, March 24th. 

It's the first MotoGP ever on the Wii, and turns your Wii-mote into a virtual set of handlebars for "the definitive two-wheeled racing experience." 

The team was focusing on delivering awesome handling wrapped around a game that challenges players of every skill level, from noobs like me to GP gearheads that fine-tune every aspect of their bike.

Preorder here, and hit the jump for more Wii-tastic control schemes. 

I've always wondered how these guys don't fall over.  They tell me "it's physics, dummy!" but frankly that never really helped.  Anyway, you can try these death-defying turns yourself on the free PC demo for MotoGP 08, out now at playmotogp.com!

The demo lets you race the Mugello circuit, riding as either Spanish favorite Dani Pedrosa or American superstar Nicky Hayden. You can choose one of three bikes, and even customize the AI opponent to create an ideal challenge without getting blown out of the water. 

PS- if you don't hug on PCs, the demo will be out for PS3 and XBox 360 very soon as well.  If you're already sold, you can buy the full game here!
