Title: Beta????
Post by: NORCAL on February 15, 2014, 07:09:47 AM
Ok so I noticed that Beta 1 coming soon was in October (4 months ago) When can we expect to se it??? Even more than a 50 second video would be nice!

P.s. Can those who bought GP-bikes get it early?  8)

That is honestly the greatest idea I have heard this far.

Piboso I think this should be what you do: for every email that has bought your games send them a email to the beta for mx bikes, giving people who support you something in return.

I haven't even bought or looked at gp-bikes, (no offense to PiBoSo, just never been interested in that type of bike racing!) and i would have to pretty much agree with that. That seems like a fair thing to do. But we don't want you to rush on getting out a beta. In my opinion, I would rather you just keep focusing on making the game spectacular for the "Big" first release!

IMO, having a closed or open beta before the "first big release" is essential. If that means piboso picks 2-10 persons or just have a open beta for everyone.

Guys, I don't think there will be a 'closed beta' for this game. The first alpha/beta releases will be like a 'closed beta' until the V1 game comes out ;)

Some of the GP Bikes owners might not know stuff about Motocross that others know, who could help updating the game, don't you think.

Yea i gotta agree the concept sounds good but as mentioned before its a totally different fanbase. They wont know what needs to be done and what dosnt. Same with people like me and if i was a beta tester for that type of game. no idea what id be doing

Love to see an open beta as there is a lot of great advice coming from the forums and everyone could add some good feedback.

Or perhaps the beta could be released to all those who are signed up on the forums at the time of it being ready. Due to the fact that we had already been tracking/keeping up with its progress etc. and its more than likely some of the main people who know what they are talking about.  ;)

A public alpha build will be released as soon as possible.

Will it be a free alpha or will it cost? If so how much do you think it will be?

If i remember correctly Arma 3 you had to pay for. Along with minecraft. But if its free that would be amazing!

There is a difference between pre ordering a game to get alpha/beta access and paying for a alpha/beta.

Piboso, is the idea to have the track tools ready for alpha so we can start playing around and give feedback or will that come later?

Will multiplayer be available in the alpha aswell?

Yes, but don't expect it to be flawless or to have races with 40 riders.

Both are great news and I'm glad to hear something :D although the way you kinda said that, a beta sounds like it's in the very close future (weeks/ days)  :D :D ::) ::)  :P :P

My P.S. Was something of a joke because I got gp bikes just to check it out lol. But I can't wait to see more on this game and get a try at. The physics. Hope it comes soon. But. For now, MXS.

Post by: MX181 on February 16, 2014, 09:38:11 PM
Hahaha exactly moto28

I think more people need to check gp bikes out to see what's in store and have an idea. Beside the fact it's a gp game it's still great fun and definetly worth checking out. It also has a FREE demo so really there is no excuses to just check it out.
