Need for Speed Racing Games

I know I'm going to be slaughtered for this post, but what the heck.

I think you guys should incorporate bikes into the next Need for Speed, should it be like Shift. Theres a large gap in the market where bikes are becomming more popular and games like MotoGP and SBK are struggling to bring a decent gaming experience.

I think people would enjoy going up against Ducati 1098s in their Ferraris, or similar face-offs. The chance to customise, tune and upgrade your bike, like you can a car in NFS Shift, would probably give you the highest played race game on the market.

Just an idea anywhoo, would be nice to see for us Bikers.

If they did add bikes, then they would have to have a complete different sector of races for it because racing motorcycles and cars at the same time just doesn't really work. I don't have a problem with it, but how do you factor in the falling off the bike and stuff? Do you just magically appear back on it after x amount of time, or do you run back to it...?

midnight club did a decent job of it but it is a different style. Sbk was oustanding just everything outside the race was annoying. I'd love to see bikes on games like this - the only chance i'd get to ride a ducati desmosedici lol it would work i think as a separate section of the game but would be ace if we could use cars and bikes in the same career (in separate races though)

I'm sure bikers will have an awesome time getting thrown from their bikes when the cars ram them.

half the fun of being on a bike is avoiding idiots who can't drive so why not put it into a game lol will just be like rush hour but much faster haha

in all seriousness it couldn't work on the same track - need races for bikes and cars

TDU did it ok and some started rumours about bikes in gt5 aswell

oh don't say that.... I'm already looking forward to gt5 enough - and now you say there may be bikes? If thats true i might wee with excitement

Why would you want to pit bikes against cars? The cars would smoke the bikes easily... on a course at least.
The bikes are indeed faster than a car on the straights, but coming to the bends they have to slow down a lot more than a car.

bikes are a lot more agile so they can get round corners quicker

They raced a 540/2 Gallardo against a Ducati1000 a few years back. Yeah, the Ducati won.

Haha

love it haha. Bikes can stop quicker, turn quicker and accelerate quicker. Top speed won't matter that much - how many tracks can you top 200mph on?
