Motorcycles

Maybe a bit early to ask, but is there a chance that motorcycles will be implemented later on aswell?

That would be very cool, maybe even use the bike engines in cars and vice versa.

Re: Motorcycles

yea, must be even harder to make a game for bikes, as you can see almost every part.

Re: Motorcycles

Nope, because if you watch the videos you can see every mechanical part of the cars too, so its no worse for that

Its just that motorcycles would add a lot of different extra things we would need to do, and we've got enough work as it is

Re: Motorcycles

Hehehe

That was my first thought when I read about this game :)

Re: Motorcycles

I put in my vote for a Motorbike expansion, that would be really cool.

Not to mention a hit, as motorbike enthusiasts have probably been even less catered for than car enthusiasts in PC gaming.

Re: Motorcycles

That's a good point, they have even less to play than the cars-people. Might be worth considering if Automation is rolling along by itself and makes a living for our devs. :) I wouldn't mind trying that out either!

Re: Motorcycles

It would be nice but unless you have 50000$ (random high number) to give to the devs, I really don't think it will be in the game at launch.

Re: Motorcycles

I suppose 3 wheeled "cars" are out too? The world needs a v8 powered reliant robin.

Re: Motorcycles

Every additional major feature prolongs the amount of time it takes to build and test the game. I'd much rather have the game earlier than have to wait for them to put motorcycles in it.
That said there is plenty of awesome content for motorcycles and they would make an excellent expansion pack down the road.

Re: Motorcycles

I would really like to see motorcycles in this game but I understand that there is no chance it will be in at launch.
It would take more work than a racing expansion but I also think It would attract a bigger audience/market, that would be missed with just a racing expansion.
I obviously know I have no say in what is developed and in what order but my vote has already be cast... Also owning 2 motorcycles my opinion is a little biased...

This, love the idea, but make it an expansion pack 8-)
