SBK Generations Gameplay - a comparison of 1st and third person views.

This video was the result of me wanting to compare the first and third person racing views in the game. I did three laps around Misano on the same bike with the same setup.

It's quite obvious that I am faster in third person view and quite revealing how much slower I am when using 1st person perspective. Now, I have to claim a little mitigation for my poor riding as it was pretty much my first laps in first person on this game and it is quite different from say, the helmet cam in the MotoGP games. Of the two, I think this is definitely trickier - immense fun though!

Given time and some practice I will have a far better handle on it - at least I hope so because first person racing on two wheels is a game changer - cetainly far more so than in car racing titles, and if you've never tried it, I urge you to have a go as it will breath new life into older games like SBK Generations that you may have stopped playing.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments section - do you like first person or hate it? Which motorcycle racing games do you think do it best? Which are the most challenging for you as a player?
