Wow...I knew these guys always released SBK in Europe 6 mos ahead of NA, but Capcom let them do that with Moto GP?!?!

Re: MotoGP 13 Demo Arrives on June 12th

So that's it, no MotoGP 13 for America? Anyone know if a copy from England will play in a US PS3? We have 3 races this year on tracks in America, how do they just not release the game here?

Hey guys, yup it seems that moto gp isn't being released here. Although for pc u can get it thru steam. I just ordered ordered moto gp from the website cdwow, I believe they are located in England. I have used them before to get fifa games early when ea used to release fifa there before the us. They have it being released the 21st and they have it for only $52.99.(on the site in the upper left hand corner u can change currency from pounds to dollars). It's also free shipping. Hope this helps a few guys, o and its for ps3, Xbox is region locked and will not work on your Xbox unless is specifically says so. Another thing I found weird was they didn't have the ps vita version listed.

There is a vita version (check youtube and you will see videos) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FADVsH_onSo

I am on a forum that has communication with the devs and the Xbox 360 version is region free. Mine is on the way and I can't wait.

Some of the best pure racing that you can have

Always order from them and have never had an issue. Usually takes about 3-5 business days

Re: MotoGP 13 Demo Arrives on June 12th

Got mine today, only took 4 days from Amazon UK to Ohio. I am just putting it in so I will post some impressions after I play for a bit. Think it was $53 shipped and came with a DLC code for 4 bikes and 8 riders, though I think I may have to change my region to UK to get the DLC because the code isn't working. I'm sure it's because the DLC isn't even on the American PS store.

Steve I know you said you are a former Street bike owner too! I finally sold mine last year after being too old and broke to be leaned over the front of it any more, so this is the closest I'll get to riding again! I am hoping to play a lot online too, let's just hope there is enough interest!

Re: MotoGP 13 Demo Arrives on June 12th

Got this on Steam for PC, and really enjoyed it so far. Even the helmet cam is rideable, and I got all the way through my first season of career in my first sitting.

Overall, the bikes have a good feel with a 360 controller IMO, and in the external view, watching the rear end kick around as the elevation changes is pretty gorgeous. Whipping around Austin and coming around that downhill left hand sweeper, I had the rear tire dancing like crazy, and it ranks up there with the best pucker-inducing video game racing moments I've ever had. Once I cranked physics up above normal and got into Pro or above, I lost it quite a few times there in particular.

Braking took some work to nail down. Balancing front and rear brake to maximum deceleration without losing momentum or time in a corner while AI riders are breathing down my neck is nail-biting almost every corner, and I spent about 5 laps dueling with 2 riders in the GP3 series in my career races.

Finally signed onto Red Bull KTM for my first full GP3 season, and am thoroughly enjoying this one. I have to mention my favorite thing about this game, as well:

Technical meetings.

I'm not a bike mechanic. I point and shoot and that's about it. But in-session, I can have a technical meeting with the mechanic, and give him information on the bike. Top speed isn't where it needs to be in the straights. Bike changes direction too slowly. Gets into the corner too slow. Reacts too quickly, unstable under braking, etc.

The mechanic then makes the spring, damper, gear ratio changes, etc., automatically, and I'm back out on the track testing. That knocked seconds off of my lap times from practice to qual to warmup to race at each track, and it gave me a reason to really dig into the full weekend instead of just blasting through qual and race.

It also let me compete with the Hard AI out of the gates on the crappier bikes they give you to start with, so there's that. But all in all, I'm very, very pleased with this one. It's a little rough around the edges with controls (no multiple controller support, as all motorcycle games I ran on PC I used a joystick with pedals, but no dice here), and it's pretty bare-bones in presentation--but damn is it fun on the track.

Re: MotoGP 13 Demo Arrives on June 12th

Forgot to mention in that long post, that the AI is very fun to race against, as well. In that sequence of battling with the AI, they respected my position very well and didn't ever blindly come up into me or cut down on me, but they were RUTHLESS in taking advantage of my miscues--overcooking an entrance to a corner, I'd get trained to the inside.

I could diamond a corner and pull off a cross over on exit (providing I didn't lose the *** end getting on the hammer too hard), and overall they were really fun to race against, which is really important for a single-player guy like myself. The only quibble I had is you could lead on them almost TOO hard. It's pretty easy to touch knees and handlebars and stay full speed on exit or mid-corner, but that's better than AI undercutting me and taking the bike out from under me.

That has always been my major beef with the AI in the GP series..Their constant need to ram into you simply due to the fact that you may be within their racing line. They never seemed to adjust to your location on the track. Sounds like that may have been addressed based on what you are saying. I have a local U.S. 360 but am I right in assuming that if I import gp13 from the uk it will work on my xbox?

Re: MotoGP 13 Demo Arrives on June 12th

So is this just not coming to the states at all? What would be the most reputable and quickest place to order from?

Thanks!!
