Milestone just understands how to deliver a title with a litany of options that allow users to tailor the way they want the game to feel, and MotoGP 19 is no different. Are these issues something that the new technology can also advance and improve on? I’d like to think yes, but time will tell. The only real issues I have with the AI riders are that they don’t battle each other all that hard and are limited in the mistakes they make on their own when you are not involved. Try to be too aggressive against your opponents, and they will ride you off the track. Make the smallest mistake in a turn and the AI will pounce on the opportunity to take your position.


That said, I don’t love the AI in MotoGP 19, but I did find the aggressiveness, fairness and ability to choose different lines quite enjoyable. Basically, the claim is that the AI will actively learn, and you’ll now face smarter, faster opponents who will exploit your mistakes. Milestone has delivered a new type of AI with MotoGP 19, called Neural AI. Auto brake will slow you down in areas where it’s not needed and hinder the rhythmic consistency needed to be successful in the game. If you are new to the series and need to utilize the assists as you become comfortable with the game, please at least turn off auto-brake. Of course, as with most games, MotoGP allows for different assists to be turned on and off to help alter the experience in a way the user sees fit. And the control scheme in MotoGP 19 delivers that feeling and experience almost perfectly. There is a fine line between having controls that feel too arcade or too sim, and for the most part, Milestone has delivered a very nice mixture of the two.įor my money, there is no better feeling than sweeping into a turn, dropping your nose underneath an opponent and accelerating at the apex of a turn to take over that position. So is there enough improvement in this iteration to warrant a purchase or should fans leave the bike sitting in the garage for one more year? What I LikeĪs with last year’s game, the bike handling is smooth and responsive, and allows the user to approach each sweeping or S-turn with relative confidence. Milestone has delivered some strong racing titles over the last few years and pushed itself to the forefront of the sport, at least in terms of delivering a solid video game experience. Milestone is back with the latest iteration of the MotoGP series, aptly named, MotoGP 19 - the official game of the MotoGP motorbike racing world championship.
