Tour de France PS3

[Bigsharn]

Looks good from the trailers, as does Battlefield 3. Decisions, decisions.

Let me help:

Activision
Made the COD series
Lacks dedicated servers
Costs £12 PER map pack (so you shell out £37 for the game, then a further £36 to buy the map packs)
Riddled with bugs
6v6 gameplay at most
Headed by Bobby Kotick

EA
Medal of Honour series (completely free DLC)
Battlefield series (mostly free DLC... have to pay £10 for ALL the maps if you buy a second hand copy of Bad Company 2 though)
few minor bugs
64 player multiplayer map(s)


Not biased at all

Yes but Origin.

P.S. Forget Call of Duty or Battlefield and get Goldeneye: Reloaded.

Only Goldeneye allows you to play multiplayer as James Bond, any of the classic villains, or - better still - ME!

BF3 ftw !!!

TdF is good yes - but while I'm good with the climbers ( got Cadel in yellow and George in polka-dot) I'm rubbish at the flat stages so if anyone could help explain how I get my HTC train to control the peloton and deliver Cav for the sprint ?

Terrible game. The graphics are awful, gameplay is almost as bad, and the tactical element is very limited. Being a fan of anything to do with racing I was looking forward to the game, but was disappointed with almost everything about it. Better of with a cycle management on the PC.

Tbf it's not THAT bad

But I attempted to win a flat stage with HTC last night

Controlled everything - brought back the breakaway - delivered Cav with 500m to go and then got battered in the sprint and Cav didn't even make the top 10, I just don't "get" the sprint angle of this game at all !!!

With a sprint finish I used to get my team to attack about 300m from the line, and draft them until I pull out with about 100m to go.

I played it for about 2 weeks, then resigned myself to the fact that it wasn't for me. The graphics look like something on the PS2. Let's hope the next one is a bit more considered.

Riiiiiight ...... I was getting them to relay at the end , didn't think about telling them to attack and following

Thanks

I agree it can be better but the development are small as the game doesn't have the audience such as shooters but lets hope for another next year

What would be good is a bluetooth cadense sensor, get the turbo out and link it in this way. imagine a multi player game? Or better still a full automated turbo for it.

Tacx I-magic is your friend

I want a cycling Gran Turismo.

Buy a cheap old steel bike, enter some cat 5 races, upgrade parts, work on your character's fitness and so on.

Eventually win the tour on your £12k Colnago!

Agreed - sadly there isn't a Market for it so there's no dev for it - shame like as that would be good ( great )

Who cares about cycling games when Forza 4 came out today
