MotoGP 07 confirmed for Xbox 360

Xboxygen reports that Climax's upcoming title will be MotoGP 07, and will feature updated graphics, and 3D animated crowds. Old school Xbox Live members should have fond memories of the MotoGP series. The online demo/patch for the original MotoGP as well as the demo for Whacked! were packed in with the initial release of the Xbox Live starter kit back in 2002. On Xbox 360, MotoGP 06 wowed gamers with its stellar graphics, and while the Grand Prix was less forgiving, the Extreme Mode tailored more to the arcade racing style and was more accessible. Are you interested in some two wheeled racing? And for the record, were any of our readers there for the beginning of Xbox Live and had some of their first online experiences in a 16 person race around Mugello?

[Thanks, gaetge]

1. Great news. Thank god for Climax and MotoGP back in the Live beta days. They implemented the greatest lobby way back then. Heck some newer games even on the 360 have lobbies that can't even compete.

2. No and no, respectively.

Motorcycle games are not my friends. Except Enduro Racer.

3. Improved graphics and animated crowds sound great, but I just hope they locked the framerate at a CONSISTENT 60fps before adding new embellishments...

MotoGP06 looked great, until you got to a corner and then the screen would tear into 5 pieces...

4. as an avid motogp watcher and motorcycle lover...i am exstatic that this is going to happen. :D I LOVED MotoGP 06...altho i must admit it WAS a BIT repetitive. I LOVED the extreme classes...i still pick up some races in motogp from time to time...altho crackdown and gears will occupy most of my time from now onwards.

5. I was there before the beginning. Anyone remember when target broke street date with the live headsets??? I was not chosen as a beta tester.

6. I loved that demo on original XBOX live but I hope they do something about the retards that would spoil a online race by racing backwards on the track when they could not get in first place, do to poor racing skills. Maybe an automatic kick out of the race if they drive the wrong way for more then say 10 or 15 seconds. ***Be a gamer that resects the rules of every game and respect the other gamers in online games.***

7. i was an original Xbox Live beta tester, and was actually a first-wave tester, which was a month before they shipped MotoGP to us. we in fact started with a great game called Re-Volt, which was a 4-player remote control car racing game thru a fun course of electricity, boosts, and obstacles. i really wish they would have let us get a full copy of it later, but they did at least allow us to play it beyond the usual beta expiration period. but yes, I was in fact an original Xbox Live beta tester, and i'm a reader of your site, so there ya go...

8. HUGE Moto GP fan (the real thing and the game) in fact I’ll be seeing the 07 Mugello race on my Honeymoon. Yes, she’s a Moto GP fan too.

My biggest problem with Moto GP 06 was the framerate. Let’s hope they fix that.

9. This is truely excellent news! I was also a member of the initial UK test / early adopter programmer which ran from the day the US Revolt test ended until the XBL Kits appeared in stores. Have extremely fond memories of the original MotoGP, infact most of my XBL friends now are from those days.

Ive had every motogp game and not owned a single one before, so thanks to climax im now hooked on both the game and the sport.

Was really worried, there was talk of there not being an 07 due to developer / publisher disagreements, this is the same team right?

Can not wait, do we have a release date?

10. I'm not surprised, but it's cool anyway :)

11. Well... from MotoGP3 to '07, I felt that it was a case of one step forward, two steps back. twas obviously a rushed product. hopefully this one will be more of a full package.

12. The live beta kept me up most of the night for weeks on end. There seemed to be almost none of the childish talk/actions that are the norm now. I love Moto GP and the Moto GP game series I would have preferred THQ sticking to it being a racing sim rather than having the extreme mode but I also miss Road Rash just for S&G's
