I agree with everything you say in your review, Doc. The two big things for me are the graphics popping in and the quality of the textures on the distant hills. I love this game even with its faults.
The best advice I could give to newcomers is: Do not turn off aids too early or go too fast in the beginning. Learn how your bikes handle and be prepared to crash a lot! Oh, and enjoy the game.
100% agree dude, the quality can really drop in the hills and the texture pop in
I think that’s a solid bit of advice mate 🔥
Enjoying the game is the most important bit 😁
@@DrAce46 I agree, I'm enjoying the game other than the crap textures in the distance and the pop in issues.
lol yeah the "free to download Google earth satellite photo's" is a real laughing stock of this game.
I do really like this game though compared to the first ones.
Love learning the tracks and the physics are really good.
The bike feels and looks well connected to the tarmac, way better in that aspect than ride 4.
Just hope they patch the draw distance and pop in, really distracting.
I give the game a score of 7,5 ...it's absolutely good ( the best of the TT IOM games) but it has not the quality of Ride 4.
Sometimes the frame rate slows a bit on PS5 in fast corners and as you say we can't create our own player and that's a missing point!!
Yeah it’s most definitely the best TT game! I love it 🔥
Yeah sadly the KT engine is not on par with the Unreal engine
oh, i'm going to put more than a thousand hours into this game for sure... riding in helmet cam is so much fun, realistic physics are so well done and having full control of the bike and rider makes this a masterpiece... also, sounds in helmet cam are top notch... never played a bike racing game like this!
I hope you enjoy :D
I was looking forward to this game, but the non custom rider is a big let down for me
It is a shame
I was gutted prior to release but think i forgot about it pretty fast. Like everything else, I think you just learn to live with it. :)
Great review as usual. So far I am absolutely loving this game. I also agree with the negative aspects you mentioned. Especially the pop in. I also am getting frame rate stutters at various points.
Hopefully you can answer this question: If I start a new career with a second supersport rider, do I lose all my upgrading on my previous rider and the performance points associated with his bike? In other words, does the game keep track of your progress with each rider even if you then try to develop another rider in the same class? I would love to develop some of the other bikes, but I hate the thought of losing all the progress I’ve put in on my current bike.
You keep your upgrade points and unlocks on the previous bike you used, the upgrade points max out at 999 but you earn them back quick enough through a season to use on other bikes, even if you switch classes.
Thanks mate! I’m glad you enjoyed the review 🔥 yeah the frame stutters and the texture pop in really needs fixing.. it’s very ugly lol
Sorry I couldn’t answer your question 😂
@@mdfkrz79 Thanks for the info! Much appreciated and glad to hear it.
Do you know whether the rider animations differ between riders? I’ve seen UA-cam videos where some riders hang their leg out with breaking/cornering but I’ve never seen it done by my rider.
@@banjofanatic7519 no problem, I think the leg thing happens if you brake what the game thinks is late, you can slam the brakes on later than you think and trail brake, obviously trail braking too hard can make the front go from under you lol
@@banjofanatic7519 a well timed tap of front brake can help you take a sharp switchback corner more sharply 😄
Great review mate
Thanks pal :D
The texture pop-in will never be fixed. It is a limitation of the KT Engine that the game uses.
😢
I love this game and have already played 300 hours. It's by far the best motorcycle simulation I've ever played. The graphics might not be state-of-the-art, but the tracks are incredibly detailed and the physics engine is spot on. The technical challenges, especially on the Isle of Man TT track, are unmatched in any other motorcycle simulation game. The realistic physics engine and attention to detail make every ride feel authentic. Compared to other motorcycle sims, this game offers a far more immersive and realistic experience
Wow, free roam and real roads?!? I'll never leave that mode, that's something I really, really miss from bike games, all bike games actually, especially the Ride-series. All games are about racing... which is fine, of course, but we got Motogp and SBK for that. We have Ride, which has a ton of street bikes - but no streets to actually ride them on. Just races, and racetrack-like roads. But the best part of actally owning a bike in real life is to go out and ride it. Go to the mountains, to the seashore (if your country has those features of course ;) ), pass most cars like they were pedal-driven toys, that feeling. Here, we have race bikes only, which is bad for this, but at least we can ride them not on 100% all the time, which is cool. I'd love to experience that in games: when you're not required to run, everywhere, everytime...
I’m not usually a fan of open world racing games. But TT 3 handles it very well, the open world has purpose 🔥
@@DrAce46 no, because there's no "usable" ones. But imagine... Having a cool open world, with or without traffic (as a chooseable option), and a selection of bikes (or cars), with good physics... For cars we had TDUs, Forza Horizons, Crews, etc, for bikes.... Nothing. And those car-games were "meh" when it comes to physics. And many more aspects as well. Yet... I wish they made the next Ride game to include open roads, traffic, and freeroam. Races, too, but not ONLY races. It won't have of course, they'll just re-skin ride 4's bikes, a few bits here and there a few new tracks and that'll be it. Shame. Until somebody comes up with what I'd like, TT3's freeroam seems to be the closer to it. And of course I'll buy Ride 5, too.... :D There are not many usable bike games out there, gotta be happy with the few we actually have... Nevertheless, I won't stop dreamin' ;)
I've just bought this game recently and it was delivered to me yesterday. I spent about 3 hours last night and about 4 hours this afternoon. I'm really struggling to get use to the controls. Some moments I do really well, then I'll do really shit losing total control! 😂 it's my first try on a motorbike game. But I've loved everything about Isle of Man TT for several years now. And MotoGp. It's a case of persistence and perseverance here and try to get better experience. I really enjoy your content it's very clear! If you've got any tips for a complete beginner here I'd be grateful. I'm also going to order the new MotoGp 2024 and give that a try. I've got an Xbox One I'm playing on. I'm usually a PlayStation gamer and never played an Xbox before either! I really love motorbike racing and hopefully I'll get better with time. Thanks ♤ Ace! ☆
Hi mate, that's really exciting that you're getting to try this game now. In my opnion its the best TT game they've made so enjoy!
Regarding tips, I have a guide video here that could help:
ua-cam.com/video/PB5Jo5WYAEM/v-deo.html
Hope it helps. Cheers
@@DrAce46 really appreciate your knowledge and information mate. Thanks for the help. I've just had another 2 hours playing it this morning after watching your link! It's really frustrating because some corners I take are top notch. You can get that feel. But then other times I'm absolutely shocking! Hitting every hedge and stone. I'll get there mate. I'm really looking forward to having a go at the new MotoGp 2024 coming soon. I shall be watching out for more of your videos coming soon too. Thanks Ace. Top man ♤ 👍🏻
Thanks buddy!
I recommend bought it for 21 dollars and play on a Xbox series s 👍
Speaking of upgraded bikes... Ho Ho Ho, I just beat your time around Snaefell full course. I didnt even have all, the upgrades, just most of them . Good review. Glad your liking the game, and hope we get some career mode uploads from you. and maybe a community race or 2.
Haha I seen! You have more than double performance points 😂
Yeah mate, I’m really enjoying it and I’ll definitely be doing more career mode videos 🔥
@@DrAce46 yeah sorry, but you'll need to buy upgrades now to beat me, not many though, as i crashed 3 times. 😅
@@saxonraider2724 Haha I also crashed 3 times 😂 I’ll try without first and see how it goes 🔥🔥
@@DrAce46 if you beat me without upgrades that will be great work. great time as it is you did with 3 crashes. my slower run without upgrades was 40 seconds behind you, and I only had 1 crash.
I’m not satisfied with my laps so far 😂 I need to keep putting the effort in 🔥
I love this game but recently I did some races around the middle left of the map and the hill textures are over the road in many sections. The AI just floats over it but it makes me crash. It's very bad. Have you experienced this. I'm on PS5 BTW.
I’m on PC but I haven’t had any issues with the textures on the road. It’s more the backdrops start to go a bit funny
@@DrAce46 I'm hoping it just needed a restart. It happened last night. It was very strange. The AI just floated over it about 4 feet of the ground. Sent me flying. I was trying the difficulty with AI on 100%. I will upload the footage and tag you if it happens again. Thanks for the quick response.
@@dekeaustin Yeah that’s bad 😂 definitely send it to me 👍🏻👍🏻
The hole thing is Manx fan but don’t know if the real is there na ride 5 this is one track round real ride 4 custom everything not for me
I must buy this game on PS5
You must!
I absolutely love this game..offcourse,no intent of getting good at it 😅..just got it for the free roam...now,if I want to see racing I just tune in to the Doctor!
Haha thanks man! You can certainly get better at this game 👍🏻
Same here! The last time i had so much fun(!) with virtual riding, was in Project Gotham Racing 4 :D 6 Hours in (hadn't much time) and not a single race was raced until now, haha.
Loving the game so far, beutiful scenery, glorious roads, great physics. Would be nice to see some traffic, a few cars, other bikse, maybe a tractor or caravan, it's the UK after all 😁
Oh and oooh dynamic weather!!
I do agree that uprages are pointless.
The physics look strange to me and the sensation of speed doesn't quite match Ride 4. I'm not sure about this one...
It may not look fast via the video but I can tell you it feels fast :)
I have none of the problems you describe/show, 4K 60Hz everything maxed.
R7 5700X RX 6800.
You're not getting any texture pop at all?
I'm using a 5950X and a 6900XT for reference. Nice GPU by the way 🔥
Some things I think is normal for a new game, obviously need be fixed....
From all I watched from you game looks very nice.
I liked 1 and don't liked version 2....
It’s nice but just has some flaws 👍🏻
I am disappointed to see you can't make your own custom rider. I would love the ability to play as "me" instead of some random dude.
Agreed, it would have been nice to make our own
great review and riding as always - i know its a small thing that you brought up, BUT, to me its massive and a deal breaker, and that is NOT being able to make your own rider - PUT ME RIGHT OFF
Thanks mate! Yeah it is a shame, a missed opportunity
Been playing since release day. Think it's a great game. I don't even mind some of the flaws/ imperfections, i think they somehow manage to give it abit of personality. I wish there was more to do in free roam, all of the event discovery could easily just be put in a menu, in 2023 we should be playing on the map with other players, random races/events, speed traps like arcade racers wouldn't go a miss , its obviously not Gran turismo budget but, abit of creativity wouldnt of gone a miss. You quickly learn to just make do i guess. The positives way outweigh the negatives in my opinion, the physics, learning and progression being the main draw, go back to ROTE 2 and its leagues above (and the rear wheel is tiny in comparison xD) The first two i had to play in first person, they began to feel like a camera simulator, forget the bike, its left right and forward, nothing else to consider, this i have to play in third, helps to see what the back end is doing (maybe,,,I have no idea why to be honest). Yea, I keep on coming back to it more than anything else at the minute.
Great content creator! Love watching your videos! Keep it up! :)
I agree mate, yeah sure the pop in is ugly but it can be looked beyond and the riding is great. One hell of a fun game!
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy :D Cheers
Looking forward to getting good enough to play this in first person. Great review.
Thanks mate!
I started 1st person, thought i knew the track, then was faster in 3rd person, but i went back to first person again after, initially was slower but i had learned more about what lines to take from doing it in 3rd person. I think its useful to switch between the 2, but yes, its much more fun 1st person. more scary.
Before I dive in and make the purchase, I found the control of the bikes on previous TT games a bit awkward compared to motogp or ride for example, how does this compare??? Loving the ace content as always 🏍 🔥
Cheers mate, it only could be compared to RiMS racing to be honest mate. Doesn’t feel anything like the older games or Milestones bike games. It’s unique 😂
Would have been nice to see the twins and stockers in this release, and a couple other real life circuits nw200 southern100 macau gp
Yes I agree 👍🏻
Enjoying the game but not being able to chase my (a) ghost is huge for me. I cannot get over this.
I’ve never been a fan of the ghost but it’s a feature that should be in the game
If possible, it would be nice to see bike set-up videos from yourself. As some of us noobs need a bit of guidance. 😉As do many others I'm sure.
I’ll be honest mate, I don’t tend to change any of the bike setups. I haven’t done so far at least 😂
@@DrAce46 Ok, 🙂
I had a bit of stutter to start with in game on the PC, but once I went into the nvidia control panel and took off the vertical sync and restarted the game, it now runs smooth as butter. I now need to explore the map and learn the courses and game. So far, it's brilliant.
Glad it’s smooth for you mate 🔥 totally agree. I think it’s excellent 👍🏻
out of interest, i get minor stutters very rarely. i have the nvidia set to let the application decide, should it be set to OFF as an application specific setup ?
@@saxonraider2724 I set mine to off, and also in game. I have it all setting maxed out apart from motion blur.
@@RupeWilson experimenting a bit. I made a game specific profile in NVidia control panel, and set VSync to ON in that, so its ON in the app, and the GPU, and I dont get any stutturing at all now. cheers for the tip
@@RupeWilson unless you ahve a gsyc etc monitor, i have never understood when people turn vsync off. i suppose in competitive multiplayer games. otheriwse i will take vsyn with triple buffering anyday which has minimal impact. if it stutters occasionally, so be it. i find that better than constant screen tearing.
Great review mate 👏
Cheers BG!
Hope this goes on ps extra one day. Still too much to do in other games but will definitely play this one day.
Really good review tbh. I played it on release date and had the mountain merge with the road 😂 it was like a landslide with mud across the course. It happened in lots of places. I deleted it and started again and it seems to have cleared up. Is there any way to adjust the handling sensitivity like the last one?
Thanks mate, yeah check in the controls. You can tweak each inputs sensitivity 👍🏻
The map "questing" put me off at first compared to the seasonal setup of the previous entries. Now I really don't mind skipping the fast travel and riding out to my next challenge... opportunity to reacquaint myself with the roads of the next event. For me, the electronics are the cherry on top... dialing in exactly the feel of input I want. I'm struggling with the mfd seemingly choose what settings it wants at the beginning of most events and almost every session restart... it's super distracting.
I felt the same way with the open world. But I actually like riding around finding the next objective 🔥
I can’t say I’ve had an issue with that, I tend to leave them at default
Great review Dr.
I’m playing on the Ps5, and really enjoying the game my only complaints are the few bugs like not being able to engage 1st gear when starting an objective and having to exit out of them and the biggest for me are the graphical pop in and the distant countryside looks terrible and greyed out in patches as if not downloaded. Rider animation is spot on in my opinion and bike physics are decent although I do prefer MotoGP 22 physics.
Thanks for the review
I had my first encounter with the gear issue. It wouldn’t go away for my latest video. Had to just use automatic gears.
I like the handling and rider animations but as you say the texture pop in is really ugly. Thanks bud
I’ve got a really weird bug or glitch where when I do a custom event on the mountain course, the clutch doesn’t want to work so can’t change gears or nothing.
Not very happy. It’s not my settings and it works no problem on free roam
Yeah sadly that’s happening for everyone. It’s only just happened to me in a previous video. I had to turn off the game to fix it
Great review :) Another reviewer said a problem was that he somehow goes faster when it is raining. For me one of my favourite thjngs to do in Rims is to use slick tires in wet conditions because I dont really play for the racing but rather to practice riding techniques ive learned on youtube. The slicks in wet emphasise when u do the technique wrong. Can u do that in this game?
And thanks for doing more first person. U have great technique and I learn from watching ur videos but I cant see the fine techniques when watching ur third person videos. I would also love to see more multiplayer of you and ur friends even with casual chatting. But ur regular commentary is also great.
Something riders like to do in real life is get their knee down. Could u do a fun video trying to scrape knee as long as possible. Even if ur going super slow it would be a fun challenge to watch instead of racing all the time. And maybe even the longest wheelie. And id also like to see how you ride if you only rode in one lane and didnt cross the white line coz thats what i will do if I buy the game to practice for real life. But if u dont like doing that in ur videos thats ok too. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks mate! You can’t change tyres in the game sadly so you can’t use slicks on the wet.
I’m hoping to do some guides soon to help players with the controls and smooth gameplay 🔥
I’ll see what I can do mate
The physics of rims i found very cool!!is it the same on this game??it looks the same
It is, but it’s much better. They’ve improved the feeling and responsiveness 👍🏻
Another thing to note is if you do the senior tt or the 4 lap supersport tt there is no need to pit as the fuel lasts and the ai dont pit on the 2nd lap. Hope they fix this
I've not got that far yet 😂
I hate the pop in. That this game has.
Agreed!
Honestly not even that bad
I can look past it, it is distracting for some tracks but it’s not a game breaker
@@DrAce46 Indeed, there is so much of it in game. That you'll notice it often. Even GT7 has pop in on the PS5. But there is so little of it that you have to try hard to spot it.
