Shyguy Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 indeed EA arnt promoting that much epsept the controlls for Madden, which isnt so popular over here in Europe, we would much rather have Football, Rugby, tennis, cricket games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century cowboy Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'd have much prefered a 1080 game. Especially with the winter release date of Wii. I would have rathered excitebike as well but beggers cant be choosers, it looks pretty decient and we dont even know much about it so how can some of you say "it looks boring". I said it looks boring cause it seems like an americans game, big trucks, high speeds, big air. Not my sort of thing. I was skeptical the controller would be held this way.. I said it was stupid.But they went and did it... Oh how stupid of Nintendo to go against you! I am looking forward to seeing what racing games are going to like using the controller this way.

AshMat Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 For me the control method looks good, i'll probably pick this one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The Excite pedigree certainly is there. The last Excitebike was superb fun. Looks like a fun racing game and the graphics look nice: the draw distance is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm actually quite excited about this game. I think they chose the best possibly control method. I might add, it's bluddy marvelous to see that every game we've seen so far has used the FHC in an authentic way with no decline in the gameplay department.

DCK Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yeah, the game just seems to breathe fun. It just looks such a laugh to play - I bet multiplayer on this one owns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myster0n Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 from CNN "Excite Truck" – Imagine holding your TV remote control by its ends and pretending it's a steering wheel. Substitute the Wii controller and you've got an idea of how to control "Excite Truck". Driving's pretty easy. The real fun comes when you hit a hill and go sailing into the air. The object is to land with all four wheels on the ground. To do that you'll have to tilt the controller back and forth away from you to stabilize the truck. It's frenetic and fast-paced – and seemed to be everyone's favorite game. I agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djamb3 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 joystiq reactions... Excite Truck was getting a lot of talk as we walked through the Nintendo booth this morning. In the demo you can only select one of two courses. I chose Mexico at the recommendation of the booth attendee. As you may know, the controller is held sideways for this one, vying to mimic a steering wheel style control. The most notable features of the game include a decent sense of speed, massive jumps, and the ability to control a solid landing by either pulling up or pushing down the Wii controller. Though I never got the steering down during the short demo, the game does a nice job at bringing back the traditional fun of Excite Bike in a 3D, motion sensing world.

AshMat Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 It's getting great reviews, i can't wait to try it for myelf, i didn't realise you hand to land properly, i guess that's why the guy titlts it back and forth in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 In the video footage at Nintys confrence, did I notice part of the track fall away over a cliff face? Having to deal with the ground shifting around and dissapearing as you plummet towards it would be a superb game feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfire Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Would be even greater if it was just Excite Racing or something and had bikes and trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 theres no reason for bikes not to be included in the full game. I'm sure they can race the same tracks but maybe with a different optimal route. Would give the game depth. Simulating body lean would be cool on bikes. I think nintendo what to be seen to be creating "new" games right now in the E3 spotlight.

MunKy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'd like to race trucks and bikes at the same time. Crush some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
