It's published by Maximum Family Games and developed by Klyotonn Entertainment, the studio that made The Cursed Crusade.

Can't find a press release that ever announced the game. Only trace of it I can find online are retailer listings, which are all PS4/PS3 (Wal-Mart and other sites, too). ESRB has only rated a PS4 version. But USK has rated the game for PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Klyotonn has a page up for it here, but there's no info, and it only lists the game for PS3 and Xbox 360.

It's budget and I don't actually care about the game, but investigating was fun and I figured some people might be interested. So here are the screens, via Amazon:

That's so funny, just thinking yesterday while playing driveclub, that there hasn't been a motorcycle game in awhile. Hope it's good.

 

[Wario64]

I saw this on Amazon last night. Had no clue what it was

 

[RealityPales]

Take that Driveclub!

 

[Mokubba]

Last screenshot looks decent.

 

[FonkyByNature]

I'm a bike fan but other than Moto GP, which sucks big time, there haven't been a good motorcycle game in a long while !

I think the last good one i played was Moto GP on Xbox when it was made by THQ.

I wish there was a decent Moto game more arcadey with amazing visuals etc.

Looking forward to this one... and no Xbox One version ?

 

[Certinty]

Looks alright, if it turns out to be good i'll get it for that price.

 

[NickatNite]

Is it necessary to put bike manufacturers on cover?

 

[BashNasty]

Seems like a bad day for it to come out.

 

[Acquiescence]

Soundtrack provided by BRMC.

 

[BuddyL33]

I hear there is a mode where you can all stop on the highway and block traffic.

 

[Jimrpg]

Motorcycle club to review better than driveclub confirmed!

Still miss Tourist Trophy!

Hope for Kawasaki ZX12-R Ninja in this game.

 

[CastorTroy]

Wow, really disappointed. I came in here expecting some type of motorcycle gang action game, (like Ride to Hell, but better in every way) or at least some arcadey road rash type thing.

But it's just a sim.

Ah well.

I have a feeling ill like this better then driveclub!

 

[Kresnik258]

... looks alright actually. It's not listed on amazon.co.uk though.

Interestingly (or not), the developers listed for this game were rumoured the new developers of a new WRC game a while ago

 

[Mullah88]

Will the online work from day 1?

 

[FonkyByNature]

Still miss Tourist Trophy!

Hope for Kawasaki ZX12-R Ninja in this game.

I agree !

I'm not a big fan of open world racing games but for a Motorcycle games, i can make an exception. A Moto game well done like Forza Horizon 2 would be almost a dream come true to me. But i know that never gonna happen. The Motocycle culture is actually kinda underground and i can understand why publishers don't want to put energy behind a Moto game, because it simply wont sell that much.

I hope there's a DLC for Forza Horizon 2 that brings Bikes... please Playground Games, please !!!

Ah well.

Is it a sim? There's launch ramps and what look like possibly boost pads or something (those blue circle things in the first screenshot).

 

[Kresnik258]

Digging for information on this game has been surprisingly interesting actually. I'll make this my final post on here but there seems to be a short offscreen gameplay video here as well as an interview with... someone about it (? it's in French so I don't fully understand) here.

 

[nikos]

FINALLY, a new bike game that isn't MotoGP. Day one, don't even care how shit the gameplay might be.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good price.

 

[quesalupa]

When does the Plus edition come out?

 

[Stealth50]

Releasing the same day as Monopoly Family Fun Pack so that's gonna be one tough week. No wonder wonder Project Cars had to be delayed.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

If the online works, instant 75-80 on Metacritic.

Also, Amazon UK has an Xbox 360 version listed now: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MXTLCHQ/

[Neuromancer]

Weirdly enough my library has advance ordered a copy of the game. I'll check it out when it gets in. The screenshots don't look half bad.

 

[deejay]

This is coming out tonight (on Steam). Anyone knows if it's open world (probably not) ?

 

[TheSpoiler]

Cursed Crusade was great. What could go wrong here?

 

[FonkyByNature]

Weirdly enough my library has advance ordered a copy of the game. I'll check it out when it gets in. The screenshots don't look half bad.

If you can get us some impressions of the game, that would be very nice !

This game is not available in North America. If it's good, i might import...

Wow. That looks so bad it's making me smile.

 

[Certinty]

Wait what, this is $29.99 in the US but on the UK PSN store is £54.99. LOL

If I bought a motorcycle, my mom would cut off my legs before the bike did.

They are trying to trick people into thinking this Driveclub with that logo
