Milestone S.r.l. shared a new gameplay video today for Ride 5, their upcoming motorcycle sim game. Unlike previous games in the Ride franchise, Ride 5 is a next-gen only release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
As an addition part of today's gameplay video showcase, Ride 5 Producer Paolo Bertoni offers up some developer insight about "the philosophy that guided the development of the first new-gen-only Milestone title." Some of these features made possible by the jump to next-gen only include better visuals and improved physics.
About this, the improvement of the detail comes from the use of scans obtained with photogrammetry or with the CAD that our partners send us. This allows for greater fidelity to the original bikes and a more realistic rendering in game. I would also like to put the emphasis on the new system designed to represent volumetric clouds, which will physically react to the changes of the light, and which will make the environments even more evocative and unpredictable thanks to the implementation of dynamic weather.
The physics will also be improved with more customizable parameters and greater accuracy, while the player’s rivals will be managed by an artificial intelligence that will feature different levels of antagonism, making them more or less aggressive when overtaking. Making a new-gen only game gave us the possibility of offering all these features at the same time, even with 20 opponents on the track.​
