RIDE 3
AntDX316 Dec 27, 2018 @ 7:51pm
Anyone pretty much ride in real-life like they do on Ride 3?
I know I do because a lot of stuff that used to scare me no longer does because you know what to expect lol

It's like automatically knowing 3 + 4 = 7 than being like 5 or 8 and hesitating. Running to corner exit on power comfortably is comforting lol. When you sense you will go wide you can just do the stuff you've learned on Ride 3.

Is this some kind of post Christmas, hangover fueled joke?

Diving into a corner and the apex at 90% of your braking capacity, and then picking up full throttle immediately to exit is not at all applicable on the track, let alone the road. Nor would running wide onto super grippy grass...or wet roads that support huge angles, jerky inputs and full throttle exits...

If you're road riding correctly (I.E. Not being a effing idiot on public roads), going slow in, fast out and on a correct line, you should always be apexing late and exiting on the inside of the corner to prevent you running to the outside and into oncoming traffic or off the lane. That also gives you a buffer incase something bad happens, gives you some room to run wide and not end up in a dangerous place on the road. And from there you've then got use of the rear brake and throttle to tuck the bike tighter, and any other "advanced" stuff. Stuff which having tried it in game, doesn't seem to be supported or modelled

On the track racing, if you are blowing wide on exits a lot, you need to calm the f*** down lest you do something dumb in front of other racers who could be right up your crack, and learn the track and your lines and pickup points better.

This is like saying that GTA5 really is good for learning how to rob a bank...
I don't mean to be disrespectful, I just find it very far fetched is all...

I mean.. I was under the impression they know how to ride like me though, understanding wise.

Like say you know what to look for, you are running wide, you back off the throttle. You get a serious acceleration wobble like in Ride 3 but keep going like it's not happening because you have a steering damper that is setup right. You weave like a Pro because you know even when your are angled at full throttle it doesn't mean you will keep turning too much but it's prepositioning that when you are going to drop over it's quicker than not prepositioning at all. I mean, I was doing this stuff before getting Ride 2 and 3 but going back and forth with the Supersport feel really does help in helmet cam. It's hard to explain. Everytime I try to explain w/ words and no demonstration it goes no where.

I just simply feel Ride 3 is like filling in all the mental unknown gaps that when I go back and forth with it and real-life the feeling is like the Same in helmet cam.

Riding the R6 fast in real-life is like no other feeling. Even if I had mad money I would still probably choose Superbiking over any Supercar. You can see Way more and feel way more. It's more active too because where you put your body, it just feels so right. Being in a car should be considered the same as being in a wheelchair. Plus, the police don't really come out when you are speeding on the highway. You are in a different class.

RIDE 3 is an "ARCADE" game.

One of the main things that make it so is Milestone's insistence in all iterations of their modern era games to make the grass "grippy" and the off-track terrain "grippy". Also the fact that one can wander slightly beyond track limits and gain an advantage without any consequence to grip level(s) and without reaction from the bike. This is NOT realistic at all. It makes the game feel "arcade". For me if Milestone were to make the grass slippery and the off-track terrain (and track edge) treacherous then it would dramatically increase the appeal of this game and other Milestone games.

On pc on RIDE 2 we worked on the tyre grip levels (off track) to achieve the desired effect. Strangely adjusting the grip qualities of the grass and off-track surfaces made little to no difference at all. Milestone, it would appear, code this aspect into the tyres..which is a little strange really. So if RIDE 3 is like RIDE 2 (change in game engine notwithstanding) off track "grip" in RIDE 3 is also I would guess bike dependent.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc9bq6b1SrQ It's a good game struggling to get out for me. And in this important respect RIDE 3 fails. Conspicuously.

Instead we have this bizarre situation whereby the grippiness of the grass and off-track surfaces is compenstated, or at least attempted to be compenstated, by a penalty system.

So much for realism..

AQ-VIP, you say some strange ♥♥♥♥ man. There is nothing to gain from this video game that you can directly relate to real-life riding, in the hopes of increasing your skill. None.

And if you do ride IRL like you do in Ride 3, then I say you must be the reason insurance continues to skyrocket for motorycles.

You guys don't ride helmet cam like me with 21:9 at 120fps on 200Hz though and setup your controller like it's real-life. I'm not racing to the absolute limits like Ride 3. Removing some "panic" I'm not sure what is going on type behavior is totally what this game does. My '05 R6 is well built and maintained so it feels the same as the Sportbike crotch rockets.

If you have every single thing required you would 100% understand but if you lack just One thing it would make Zero sense.

I've for one Aced my CDL-A school because of Scania truck driver where Most have failed.

If you map your brain properly with acceleration, steering, braking with what is going on at the bike at that moment 1 second back and 1 second forward while analyzing what is happening now you would 100% understand what I'm talking about..

This kind of predication is amazing. You know what to expect! because what you have done 2 seconds from where you are now is the direct result of what You've chosen to do during those 2 seconds. You have more control of where you are going to be than nearly anything Else in life where when you do social situations you aren't 100% sure what is going to happen next at all.

When you run ghosts during time attack you can tell where you can improve according to where you are and what you do.

How do you know how others race or what view they use? You are assuming buddy. If you really think any video game will make you a better rider in real life.... that is wishful thinking. You become a better rider by riding often and different bikes, every bike has different characteristics. Do some track days and take some safety courses that is how you learn. If you really think this game comes any close to the real thing it is time to remove the dust from that YZF-R6 and go for a spin. The moment you lose respect for any bike is when you go down, bikes are not toys even if we call them our toys.

And what do you understand by well build R6? Steering damper (assuming you are from the US it properly will be a GPR), Slip-on, maybe a Power Commander and a BMC air filter?

I mean I watch MotoGP so I must be an absolute demon at saving front end washouts on my bike in real life... Hah

I'm sorry to say I saw a video posted by the fella here and it was a fairly typical scene. I suspect the R6 is the first bike as is so common in the states. Highways, high speeds, no jacket, MX gloves, and lots of squiding around. Any time a corner like an off ramp comes up, slow right down and teeter around it, and zoom off in a straight line again.

OP, you need to listen to some of the others here and go do some formal training before you wind up in a situation you are unable to get yourself out of.

lol.. I ride nearly all the time when it's dry and I do 160+ at night w/ shorts on because it's that ez

It has a scotts damper, stubby slip-on w/ baffles, PC3 w/ Euro stock tune that power wheelies in 1 harder than Any other tune as I've tried all, K&N air filter and more. I know wtf I'm talking about. If you don't want to believe then something is wrong on your end.

I've high-sided in 1, had a huge tail whip under power in 3 in the wet when I first got it, stalled in 3rd during a U-turn, couldn't unthrottle in 1 during the first days cause of the fierce power. I have plenty of experience.

You must get a chilly willy with those shorts on. Then again you won't have a willy if you fall at those speeds.

Thing is, I don't want to be on the same road as you. You're a maniac. Come to think of it, as you want to "achieve" 200mph on a highway, then I don't want to be within 1 mile of that highway, so you don't ride through my house and kill everyone. Wake up fool, would you like to meet yourself out there, on the wrong end of their rocket?
