A quad racing game? Have my dreams come true?

Has anyone heard anything about that new Kawasaki game mentioned on the main news page? I looked on the webpage of the developer and the Kawasaki site and could find no mention of it. I wish the news page had given a little more info!

I envision a game with graphics and physics as good as the Motocross Madness game (1 and 2), but perhaps that is just wishful thinking...

It sure would be cool to be able to race quads on the computer, even if you only get to drive Kawasakis. Nothing against Kawai...it would just be cool to be able to ride quads from all the major players, especially if it let you ride stock bikes. Just think of the match-ups!

Anyone heard any info on this game? Even better...anyone have it yet, and willing to give a short review to the rest of us?

 

I wish they made it for playstation or nintendo 64. I think that if they even made it for dreamcast I would have to buy one of those for that and NFL 2K which is the awesomest game ever.

go to www.mbyte.com they have the game there,looks like fun

 

I think the idea is really cool, but looking at the info I found on the internet I am kinda doubting this game's ability to rival say, Motorcross Madness. Not to belittle Encore Software, of Carson, CA. but I don't think many people have heard of them. Also, take a look at their website, they seem to be pretty focused on creating low budget card/casino games. Crossing over from comparitivly easy-to-make card/casino games, to live action, realistic 3D games is a stretch. The closest games they make to this new ATV game is Live Action Pinball and "Body Glove's Bluewater hunter" -whatever that is. Last thing, is noting the price for the software online. It's $24.99 retail price doesn't scream out to me and say they spent alot of time writing this game. I may pick it up for the hell of it, but I'm not expecting it to keep me away from Sega City or Dave & Buster's for very long. If I do buy it, I'll be sure and let you all know how good or bad it is.

 

That was kinda the impression I got from their website, too. However, they could have (I'm just guessing here...) done something like license the original Motocross Madness engine, and just rework it a bit to use quads. Surely that would not be too difficult.

That could explain the cheap price I guess (I just bought Motocross Madness for like $10, it is old technology, but it is still fun).

From past experiance with cheap games, I'm sure you're right and it will be cheesy, but I can hope at least...

Oh, please please please, don't suck!!!

 

even if the game does suck, it is a step in the right direction. someone else is bound to come out with a better version if this one sells. so we should quit wondering and go out and support our sport by buying it. it can't be all bad!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's true. If everyone buys it, someone else is gonna see this as their cash cow, jump on the wagon and make another one that's better than this one. So everyone go out, buy the game and tell everyone you know to buy it.. :P Maybe we'll get the "One small ride for an ATV, or awesome weekend for ATV kind." Ok.. that was pretty bad.

 

I think the more post we have in this thread of this nature the better. You never who might be reading.

 

just downloaded the demo, cool game!!!

 

I have the demo on my computer, it's very bad, very not fun.
