TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 Review - The Final Verdict

[@BennyE456]

Literally playing this game in my house that’s situated on the course lol

[@PureCapsaicin]

Thats awesome lol i’d love to go there one day

[@Ryder1K]

Did you ever ride to your house

[@midnightbluenoz]

That's cool

[@darrenbaker2955]

Biggest understatement ever "Several deaths" try 266 🤦‍♂

[@guppylove7200]

267😢

[@Kaloo1968]

Motorcycle racing has always been an impressive sport to me. It's amazing how focused and reactive riders are on these powerful bikes. One thing that I always think about it when playing racing games with markers, is how the real life riders don't have them. I imagine that present riders practice virtually, but past riders must've really had a challenge memorizing the courses. Great review and video by the way.

[@dannyboy621]

People saying this is a bad game are clearly not that good at it, all the TT riders use these games to learn the track and find it a great way to sus things out…leave the gears in auto and you can still change them if coming into a corner too fast and if it’s not quick enough to change up then just do it yourself…slow down at correct times and it’s easy to get 125-128mph average speed on a 4 lap mountain course race…it’s fun and give you instant speed

[@finleybrock6526]

U can use the game to learn which corner comes after which there is only 1 way to learn this track and that's on a bike in real life

[@davidhenderson4875]

😅it needs to have an easier entry level for beginners to encourage them to stick with the game .by concentrating solely on the tt cicuit they need to expand vastly on the bike and rider and class options yes they will update for 2023 riders but historic bikes and riders would greatly enhance the game for tt enthusiats .ride on 2 had some historic riders and bike combinations.without this this game is seriously limiting its long term playability.if your interest is not the tt then you will definitely choose other bike games first .add on historic bike and rider combinations are a must for this game

[@Kin0bii]

I love this game! Once you learn the course it feels great riding around, respecting the bike and the track. I do agree that it is very buggy sometimes with texture pop-ins and sound issues, but I've been having a great time doing 2-3 laps per day for the last 3 months.

[@captainkidd1329]

I don't know why they bother putting music in the game i want to hear the engine i always turn that shit off

Wasn’t watching the same vid as you. The one I just watched was shit

[@mrporgmotorsport7822]

Okay since everyone in this comment section seems to enjoy trashing this game. I’m gonna go ahead and be the opposition. It’s good. Really good. Did TT1 have Sidecars? Yes. Did TT2 have tracks in other countries? Yes. But do either of those games give you bikes that feel like the multiple hundred pound monsters? No. Do either of those games let you run across the Isle of Man at your leisure? No. While this game currently has a few flaws, I’ve noticed that bugs are being fixed. It’s a good game. It’s not a bike rpg like Ride. But that’s okay. It knows what it is. Challenging but fun

[@Sprocket74]

You could ride around the isle of man at your leisure in 2. Or "freeroam."

[@andrewkelly501]

Its more thsn several deaths, its way in to the 100s when you include visitors trying the course for themselves. I am manx and every year there are several deaths. Stick to this game, its the closest there is and even if its very 'samey'... thats how it looks here 🤘

[@The.world.has.gone.crazy...]

223 deaths since the begining

[@frxtx4238]

Not yet watched the video but since it's GamingBolt, I'll take a wild guess and say the review is crap. I'll bet "too hard" or "you'll fall just from hitting a guardrail".

[@OffGridMadMan]

Really good game. This was the worst review I'v ever seen about anything ever; both the video of Stevie Wonder having a blast and by the AI robot chatting nonsense throughout.

[@conahscreations]

The review wasn't even that bad? It praised a lot of aspects. People really need to stop seeing 7 as a bad score

[@mighthookya2637]

First person is where it’s at

[@Stickleback]

I own Ride on the Edge 2, i`m looking for a comparison with this one?

[@Sam-Fisher]

Amazing game

[@madzangels]

"several deaths"....Bro there been 150 fatalities in the TT alone, if you add in the other races the fatalities since 1907 are around 250

[@markcontreras4035]

Do they have more bikes like Suzuki and stuff ? I loved the 1st one the second one was ass

[@allanbuchan6947]

Is there an option to see corner and place names on the Snaefell mountain course ?

[@KainsTorment]

Hi I’m a disabled gamer and I use a old joystick which essentially works the same way as the D-Pad so is it possible to remap Accelerate / Brake / Steering all to the D-Pad? Also can you have Automatic Gears and Drive Assistance in this game?

[@MikeS-cv8xs]

It has claimed the lives of several hundred riders. Not several. Thanks for the video.

[@S3RAVA3LM]

I just recieved this game and burning around mostly freeroam and doing a race now. This is certainly a very good motorcycle game. I dont believe the developers are given resources like AAA+ game developers and despite that they fashioned something very magical: The TT Isle of Man, Ride on the Edge 3! I put 97,000km on a zx6r in 3 1/2 years for what it's worth. I selected 'realistic' mode in TT3 and it's just like what i know riding to be. Too, i was playing Ride 4 for the first time, yestarday, i didnt bother check to see the settings - regardless, i like TT3 physics. What some people critique about the game is true. And, the physics of the bike is excellent! And, it is a thrill. If you ride, and respect the TT, this you need.

[@thewelder3538]

Okay, now you have the game, ride to some water and take a look. Now ride around now on freeroam and watch all the objects popping in, not even distant objects either. My comment that you took so much offence to, never really focused on how accurate a sim/arcade racer it was. It was mainly aimed at the graphical fidelity which wasn't so much of an issue in RotE 2, but it does affect the experience. Now do you see what I was talking about?

[@robhaney8568]

"I put 97,000km on a zx6r in 3 1/2 years for what it's worth" is impressive compadre ... I get it! This game definitely feeds into the adrenaline rush of actual riders of performance bikes. I rode the first KZ super bikes of the late 70s - early 80s (last one was GPZ 750 before it was called Ninja) I have well over 2k miles in 20 years of "spirited" riding. I've played #1 with the controller and the stick was grueling, I got a wheel to work (no FF) and the handling is MUCH better. Just installed #2 after having it a while and gonna give it a go with the wheel (thinking of clamping some hand grips on it for shits and giggles, yea no counter steer but ...) Any improvements worth mentioning from #1 and #2? Good to hear feedback from actual riders. 👍 It's a shame nobody makes a proper motorcycle controller/handlebar setup (that doesn't cost as much as a bike)

[@markcontreras4035]

I liked Isle of Man 1 the best just wish they add more bikes and stuff

[@wetdogbutter2905]

So it is THE. Most hazardous not one of and it has claimed almost 200 lives not just a few

[@cortion]

A lot more than 7 people have lost there life there.

[@guppylove7200]

Is it 200 plus 1 this year I'm aware of 😢😢

Does anyone know if the NW200 maps are still playable like the first game? I enjoyed playing on the track I grew up on

[@mpc562]

“Islet” - small island and pronounced similarly. Long “i” 😕

[@yorkshirepud6676]

There are bugs in the game, when using manual gears they do not work in some races you cannot put the bike into gear, I have had one instance of the lose of all sound !! I play Xbox X, when working this is theee best bike game ever made !! a patch is needed for fixes tho, If I could make one change let us play the lsle of white race even if its a free rome with all other roads blocked off ....please.

[@The.world.has.gone.crazy...]

Same on ps4 also grass on the track that launches youre bike in the air but does not effect other bikes, game stutters when other riders are close so youre bike is literly oncontrolable. Wasted my money. I play tt2 again now.

Does this game feel more like Rims?

Bought both the 2nd & 3rd games recently. Both are unbelievably frustrating, physics are not normal and take the fun out of the both games. Shifting rider weight from one direction to the other is nearly non existent on the 3rd.taking both back,not for me at all

[@Theworstchannelposting]

The racing feels great absolutely everything else is broken

[@JamieS1992]

I didn’t play the 2nd game because of the 1st game but is gameplay like the first one or did they move a little closer to that of milestone games ?

[@BongoBaggins]

Way, waaaaay closer to Milestone than Kylotonn. I've played all three and this is night and day compared to the first two. It's what the game always should have been; it has proper physics now.

[@leelack9691]

Usually love your reviews but this is not meant to be like Forza, you are missing the point of this game. Loved no 2 and your complete misunderstanding of this game makes me want to get it. Guess this is why I don't like or get Nascar games

[@Sam-Fisher]

🔥🔥🔥

[@River_of_Revenge]

You failed to mention theres no way to remove the driveline and it leaves you with an arcade game at best. Not to mention in ROTE TT 2: The digital display showed individual tire and brake caliper temps. Wtf does TT 3 do? Shows you two green tires to remind you that youve got two wheels..

[@Drcanttouchthis]

While there does appear to be features missing, it does have an option to remove the race line along with a few other HUD options.

Can anyone figure out how to use Manual transmission in control settings during a ‘Custom Event’??? It only lets me use Automatic transmission when in the Custom Events section; I’ve even tried starting the race in Automatic and switching to Manual mid-race, but alas… I get stuck in the current gear… Any tips? Suggestions? This is kinda killing the game for me

there is a bug in manual gears there not there in some races on Xbox X anyway

[@thewelder3538]

This is literally one of the worst reviews of a game I've ever sat through. Firstly of all, you make it sound like this was a one-of-a-kind game, rather than ACTUALLY the THIRD game of the TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge series. The review would probably have been a LOT better if you'd compared it against its predecessor. What's improved since the last game, what's not as good etc, rather than trying to make it stand on its own. Most of the people playing this game will more than likely already have Ride on the Edge 2 and will want to know what, if any, benefit they will have by buying this new release. The reality is, as an arcade racer and really, that's what the TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge series is all about, it's just terrible what they've done to this game. Now I loved Ride on the Edge 2, the illusion of speed, the sound of the trees and buildings rushing by, pleasant graphics and stable framerate. This game isn't Ride, it's more arcade than simulation focused and that's what made it fun. With this monstrosity however, gone are those lovely rushing trees and houses sounds, replaced by a soundtrack that makes you think you're playing Ridge Racer from 1994. Then there's not just "a bit of pop-in", there's A LOT of pop-in. You can see everything in the distance just appearing and textures being applied to walls and backgrounds and we're not talking about things a long way away, but closer objects too. The framerate can become choppy in slow sections of a race, which is probably why the draw distance is so close in order to keep the frame rate up. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are certainly way more realistic than Ride on the Edge 2, but wow, does the framerate suffer for it. The background environment textures are just lifeless and the water is just laughable as a simple scrolling texture. They've turned a visual/audio enjoyable experience from Ride on the Edge 2, into one that you think initially looks nicer, right before you notice and cannot ignore all the popping-in objects and rubbish textures in places. What a way to drop the ball when you are up against other bike games like Ride.

[@S3RAVA3LM]

What do you mean " terrible what they've done to this game" ? Yorkshirepud says contrary to what you input here. In fact states that they've done sooo much better with tt isle man 3 compared to the 2nd.

[@thewelder3538]

@@S3RAVA3LM It doesn't matter who said what, just look at the reviews of the people who have bought the game. You will then see what I am saying is entirely reflected in what everyone else is saying too. Ride on the Edge 2 has a MUCH higher rating than Ride on the Edge 3. Although they've enhanced the look of the graphics, the pop-in objects and draw distance totally ruin the visual experience. Losing the audio that enhanced the experience of speed also made the game worse. Remember, this is an arcade racer, not a simulation like Ride. So it really doesn't matter if you think Ride on the Edge 3 is better, objectively the majority of people don't agree with you.

[@S3RAVA3LM]

​@thewelder3538 Actually it does matter - if you've read Plato, you would know what he elucidated concerning 'democracy'. The higher vote count, majority, has never been a veritable of any kind or criterion. In fact there's a saying: "what's true isn't popular and what's popular isn't true". Your code or logic that you live by is ridiculous and says everything about you. The fact remains, that somebody here in the discussions has said contrary to what you believe. And it doesn't matter if the majority is going the wrong direction, doesn't make it right. I ordered it, and I will see.

[@thewelder3538]

@@S3RAVA3LM Of course I understand that the majority is not always right, but it's simple statistics. If you're trying to say that you don't look at the reviews for an item before buying it on Amazon, then you're not being honest. You use those opinions, whether they be right or wrong to guage and help make a decision. Now if most are saying that this game isn't as good as RotE 2, then it's MORE likely to be true. That doesn't mean certainly because it's subjective, but it IS more likely. Moreover, as someone who has the game, played a lot of it and who writes games at a well known software house for a living and who's opinion aligns with the majority, it's more likely that I'm right. That's not a guarantee, but it's definitely more likely. Since you don't even own the game, nor have you played it, basically means you're opinion is baseless and full of shit. Buy it, play it and then you'll know what I'm talking about. Until then, I don't really want to engage with someone who's offering an opinion on something they've not even fucking played.

[@S3RAVA3LM]

​​@@thewelder3538 I am a bike rider and this right now is as close as it gets" - yorkshirepud has stated this. Does this man having experience of riding not matter as a factor? You stated "it doesnt matter who said what". You then are indirectly stating that even if a chap rides motorcycles, his opinion still doesn't matter because he's the minority. I question your logic here. Call of duty has a majority of players compared to Hell Let Loose, and the fact is HLL is very much better than call of duty. Fewer people drive exotic cars so cheap 4 cylinder cars must be better. Also your criterion here as a basis, is comparing an arcade game to a simulation. Thus your logic implies really only your preference: that you like simulation racers over arcade racers and that's perfectly fine. Yet, I see you do compare TT3 to TT2 which im trying to figure out; again, because yorkshirepud has stated that he even redownloaded TT2 again when somebody else said it was better than TT3, yorkshirepud states that it is incorrect ultimately.

[@WBFD]

Slugish handling, less track detail, worse sense of speed. No thanks, I'll stick to Ride on the Edge 2

[@G-ForceLogic]

And this is super unrealistic what a piece of crap game

[@finmac5548]

Shit review! Didn’t compare it to the previous 2 games in the series. What’s improved, what’s not and what’s worse! The truth is…..after stupidly dropping fifty notes on this, in blind faith that it would automatically improve on the last game and being on PS5, the graphics and effects would be much improved…..this is a BIG step backwards….pop up roadside scenery, very poor framerate at times which actually makes you feel dizzy, the feeling and sound of speed from the blur and wind noise of the last game is gone as is the detailed setup and telemetry of the bikes. Don’t even get me started on the cloned mannequins they have added as spectators. Very disappointing, to say the very least! If you have the previous game, avoid this, it’s no better at most things and much worse at others……if you don’t have any of them, get the 2nd in the series, it’s vastly superior to this effort!

[@seanc6754]

Hey developer's of this game.. you would make a crap ton more money if you MADE A PC VERSION!!!! I mean hell you got a xbox version so u have a PC version...

Road is too narrow, or bike is too big. not good.

I like 1 over 2 if the back would not break out for no reason. But 2 is a nice game to. Wait for a deep sale for tt3.

[@johnpenguinthe3rd13]

How is the difficulty for this game? I've noticed that this third TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge game is made by the same develop team that made Rims Racing and the difficulty for that game was ABSURD (even on the easiest difficulty setting the game was hard as hell after they did the update, and not in a good way). Is the difficulty for this game at least normal?

[@FernandoPartridge]

The difficulty is not really any harder than the 1st and 2nd games but don't waste your money on this rubbish, it's really terrible, the handling is very unrealistic, I find it very hard to believe anyone who worked on this has even been anywhere near even a 125, the sound is really terrible, the bikes sound like RC aeroplanes with 1CC engines, it's horrible. There's not even a time trial mode to learn the circuits and compete with others on leader boards, I really can't believe how awful this game is, a real let down for the IOM TT, has this game studio really done other motorcycle games? If so I don't want to play them. If there's any download extras to be released for this game I won't be wasting more money on them, IOM TT should have had nothing to do with this bilge.

[@emonhosen535]

Ride 4 is much better on every aspect.

[@thewelder3538]

That is just a very apples to oranges comparison. Ride is way more of a simulation, but this game isn't pretending to be sim. It's a fun and enjoyable arcade racer with simulation aspects.

[@shakeybeatz]

Apart from not having the tt course.

[@cib553]

Worst TT ever.

[@codeandroad3020]

This game DOES NOT WORK on the PS4 even though it is packaged as being for the PS4. It is NOT fit for purpose. It is now on update version 1.04 and you can still expect to find multiple “grass speed bumps” appear as the graphics cannot refresh fast enough. When these appear you will be launched into space while the ai riders just go through them with no problem. You will not be able to complete most events because of this. Ramsey hairpin in particular is a very bad joke as the whole section, as well as “speed bumps” across the tarmac, is a complete mess as the graphics struggle to refresh. There are random “lockups” during races as your bike will just stop while the bots continue. Eventually your bike might start moving again but, by then, any hope of winning your race have long gone. There are so many niggles about this game that are just glossed over by reviewers. I have completed over 30 seasons on TT2 and I forget how many on TT1 plus various versions of Ride and MotoGP so I’m hardly a bike newbie. It is disgusting that paying punters are expected to do the game testing that studios should have completed before the game is released. The PS5 version has gradually improved through the updates to be playable but Ramsey hairpin is still a mess. No speed bumps though. I have also bought the extended version for Steam so you can see that I really want to enjoy this game.
