Development

On September 15, 2014, Milestone announced the development of Ride, a motorcycle racing video game.[5] The studio had previously developed racing games within the licensed series World Rally Championship, MotoGP, and SBK.[6]

Gameplay

The gameplay is very similar to F1 2014. It features all motorcycles launched until mid-2014. It also features some historic motorcycles from the mid-90s, 80s and early 2000s. Players control many aspects of real motorcycle riding like tucking in on high speeds, leaning forwards and backwards, controlling each brake individually. Manufacturers like Triumph, Ducati, Lightning, Kawasaki, MV Agusta, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Bimota are also in the game. Players start the world tour campaign with naked lightweight class of motorcycles. Apart from the main campaign there is also a Quick Race option and Elite trophies.
