Greetings PlayStation community! baKno (pronounced bä-kä-nō) Games is a small game development studio based in Florida and Motorbike marks our first home console release. We noticed that there wasn’t a game quite like Motorbike currently available on the PlayStation Network, so we took our love of extreme sports and stunt bikes and used it to bridge this gap.
As you might have gathered from the images, Motorbike is a 2.5D stunt bike trials game in which you use the controller to accelerate and balance while traversing ramps, hazards, and other obstacles. The game features 80 original tracks, thousands of online courses (yes, you read that right, thousands), and 40 exclusive tracks immediately available for download. Motorbike also includes an intuitive and easy-to-use Track Editor, which contains all the same tools we used to create the original levels.
We’ve done our best to step it up for the PlayStation 3 release of Motorbike. In addition to 40-PS3 exclusive tracks, we’ve included a toolbox full of PS3-exclusive accessories, objects, hazards and doodads in the game’s Track Editor. Players can share their custom levels with other users online, for which we’ll be approving and adding downloadable user-created tracks daily! Each course undergoes an internal revision to make sure that it is fun and that players can complete the course from start to finish.
With 120 courses included in the game, thousands of user-created courses waiting to be downloaded, and a robust Track Editor, it’s clear that players will have more than enough to satisfy their adrenaline-fueled needs. The possibilities for course creation and variation in Motorbike are practically limitless, and we really can’t wait to see some of the insane courses and challenges that the PlayStation community is able to generate. In fact, we would like to challenge every Motorbike player out there to push one another in creating some of the most mind-numbingly awesome courses to date!
Looks like Trials but not made by the people who did Trials.
I would love to play it if my PS3 still wasn’t out of commission after last week’s bad firmware update and the two weeks it takes to fix the problem.
I did buy Hotline Miami though so that’s a positive on Vita.
Agreed, it looks like the warm up band before the big show (Trials Fusion) next year on PS4. Could be good fun though, trials is awesome so if its anything close (which urban trials WAS NOT) then it should be worth a play.
With no demo, Im sorry but I dont see me spending the $15 for this game.
2 words…Track Editor…sign me up! =D
Hi everyone. This is Andres from baKno Games. We are very excited that Motorbike is finally available on PS3.
Since its first release as a desktop game in 2011, Motorbike has grown to this standing thanks to a growing fan base, that has provided us with continuous feedback to improve the game.
It’s really the fans who have provided thousands of custom tracks, which make Motorbike an endless experience. We are very lucky to have them.
If you want to try Motorbike, you can download the trial version for Win, Mac or Linux from our website. I will be glad to answer your questions or comments on this blog, during launch day (June 25, 2013).
Please tell me it’s gonna be available on Vita..!!
Yes Zensk8er, the current plan is to port Motorbike to Vita as well. The level of success of Motorbike on PS3 will determine a development effort on other platforms.
