There’s plenty of customisation options too.
Even simple things like the setup of the menus are really well structured and smooth. Colours are vivid and vibrant, garage backgrounds are modern and clean. Not a single bolt, dial, or wheel spoke was missed. Ride 4 definitely out does pretty much all the competition here. Hardly enough to satisfy me as a player however. So I found these events so much more engaging than the actual race events.
Ride 4 ps5 review how to#
This allows you to find the best line, when to accelerate, braking markers and how to hit those sweet sweet apexes. So you can slowly learn the tracks a bit better.
There are at least no AI opponents to throw you off. Though harsh in their punishments about even the slightest venture into the gravel. The time trials in Ride 4 are a bit easier, thankfully. It was hardly a fun experience by that stage. Several restarts later, I had passed them all by the first corner and then they ate my dust. And while this worked, it was still tricky to get past everyone without an accident. I lowered the difficulty to the absolute lowest setting, just to see if I could get past them early on to minimise crashes and actually have the chance to complete a race. And with the tricky controls I’d be driving my hardest but wouldn’t be able to catch up. So many times, I had to restart races because a crash with an opponent sent me flying. This lead to a lot of unnecessary crashes, that simply wouldn’t happen in other games with better AI. Constantly taking the best line regardless of whether you’re in the way or not. Opponents in the game treat you as if you don’t even exist. It’s the harshness of challenges, even in the early stages. And the game has a great level of realism in most other cases, for a good representation of how it would handle for real.īut the bike handling isn’t the true killer in this game. I do appreciate the loss of traction on the ripple strips however. You cannot accelerate through corners at all, even on corner exit, or else you run super wide and lose position. Where Moto GP succeeded on an innovative control system and AI were challenging but adjustable. I managed a gold medal time, but getting there was a slug and a half. And given a target time to beat, well, three actually. Immediately on entry to the game you’re thrust into the seat of a Yamaha 600cc power horse. But beneath the surface, hides a game rife with quality of life issues and a huge difficulty curve that doesn’t sit well. Visually stunning, the game lures you into it’s depths with beautifully recreated motorcycle models, stunning track design, realistic dynamic weather and track conditions and a solid array of bikes to choose from. A frustration that simply makes you put the controller, or keyboard, down in frustration and walk away. For every moment of true bliss, there is one of equal opposites. Ride 4 manages to be equal parts good and bad, a feat not so easily obtained in today’s hot or cold gaming industry. Part smoke and mirrors, part legitimate racer. Ride 4 is a motorcycle experience unlike any other.
