Take a ride with RIDE

Or just ride it out

As a daily rider, when I first heard a game like RIDE was announced, I got a little excited. Not too excited, but just a little. Sometimes I need a virtual motorcycle fix and that’s just not easy to get in a car-dominated racing landscape.

While there usually are a few car racing games to choose from, the motorcycle world is often times left in the dust or treated like a second-class citizen. Whether it be tacked-on motorcycle options or overall lesser-quality games.

It appears Italian developer Milestone S.r.l. is trying to buck the trend. The group has released a short glimpse of gameplay on an upcoming track called Sierra Nevada.

Yes, the music is generic (and, well, so is the trailer), but at least it looks pretty.
