Ride 4 is coming this October
Milestone have announced Ride 4, their latest entry in the series that is all about the love of the ride and all things motorbike. With a revamped career mode, an all new endurance mode and more, gamers on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, will have plenty to enjoy this October 8, when the game releases.
Ride 4 introduces a new Career mode that lets players control their progression toward the success from the very beginning. Players will be free to choose how to structure their journey from local to international leagues. Every decision they take will affect their career path, giving access to special events, races and challenges for a unique gaming experience! And to make it even more unique, players can access to several tools to create their distinctive bike and riding apparel and to customize many mechanical parts of their bike.
“When we launched the RIDE franchise our main goal was to create a unique IP for all two-wheel lovers; today - five years later - the astonishing realism of its visuals, the depth of its gameplay and the great partners we’re working with, confirm we’ve worked in the right direction to create the ultimate two-wheel racing experience”, said Luisa Bixio, CEO of Milestone.
Paolo Pavesio, Marketing and Motorsport Director, Yamaha Motor Europe commented “racing and adrenaline have been part of Yamaha DNA since our foundation, 65 years ago. This is why it has been almost natural to partner up with one of the biggest names of the global motorcycling gaming industry – Milestone. We strive to give excitement and emotions to our customers and to all motorcycle lovers, always staying close to what “revs” them inside. With Milestone and RIDE4 we also innovate our approach, reaching out to new fans, that have a shared passion for motorcycle – be in the virtual or the physical world, the love is one and we welcome these riders to our family. Being among the pioneers for the rising eSports world (with Trastevere73 as official Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP rider) we bring our involvement in gaming to the next level with RIDE4 and the variety of unique activities planned on and off-line for the following year”
“As a global mobility leader with a large portfolio of premium products and solutions including premium motorcycle tyres, we saw fit to make our debut in the virtual world by partnering with Milestone, a proven leader in two wheel simulation games” – commented Nico Thuy, Head of Motorcycle Business at Bridgestone EMIA. “We are always looking for fresh ways to engage our customers and interact with the riding community, while also showcasing the quality of our products. Being present in RIDE 4 represents a one of a kind opportunity to do just that”.
All bike models in Ride 4 have been created from the ground up using the most advanced technologies and the original CAD and 3D scans of real models, to bring to life authentic and lifelike replicas of the most iconic motorcycles, even the rarest and most exclusive ones. Every single bike detail has been carefully reproduced as in their real-life counterparts. Even the cockpit is a perfect reproduction of the real thing, both in terms of design and dynamic elements. The data on the dashboard changes in real-time, speed, temperature, traction control…even the oil bottle vibrates according to the movements of the bike! Ride 4 is an act of love made by bike enthusiast for bike enthusiast.
On track, Laser and Drone scanning enable a never seen before level of accuracy in reproducing the most beloved and iconic tracks, an adrenaline-filled journey all over the world.
