Title: Motorbikes in GT4 ?

How about that then ? :dance:

A few Sony staffers did suggest that motorcycles would play a role in a hidden bonus section, but there is no official confirmation.

A surprise test session with a variety of superbikes suggests there may be a special motorcycle section, though Polyphony tactfully avoided the question.

Things could have changed, but I would rather have them put all their effort and energy into new tracks and graphics, rather then some bike bonus game.

Its just like how you can give a physicist details about an object\'s mass, velocity, direction, etc. and he can give a fairly accurate representation of its movement. The laws of physics don\'t have to be rewritten for every object that you give him.

Post by: kopking on October 11, 2003, 01:07:25 PM: yeah, but i meant the way physics are on a motor bike are way different to a car, this makes sense in my head

Post by: (e) on October 11, 2003, 01:13:00 PM: Its not really physics, I dont know the word.

But a car and MC have different reactions, like a baseball has a different reaction to a bouncy ball to the enviroment. Bad analogy, but u get it.

Post by: kopking on October 11, 2003, 01:25:29 PM: yea thats what i mean, i just meant they handle completely different, and its nt real, so they have to make up, or adjut the physics engines for the game

Post by: Kimahri on October 11, 2003, 03:37:57 PM: They wouldnt have to change the physics engine... thats what they have been working on all these years.

All of the vehicles info such as its mass and center of gravity react to the physics engine they have created.... the only thing that would change if they added bikes would be the great difference between the cars info and the bikes info....
