23-FEB: Questions for Monumental

[spacearound]

Hello Monumental,

Can you please confirm a release date of the demo?

Many people are checking 'Marketplace' at Xbox-live multiple times a day (including me ) just to see that there is still no MotoGP09/10 demo.

I have a few more questions of things I might have misunderstood or missed:

-Is tire-worn also available in the multiplayer? [Would be brilliant!]
-I know it is not possible to change your setup in multiplayer, but can you load a saved setup created earlier (@ single player) for every racetrack?
-I know about the voting system concerning the race-tracks, but is a host still able to kick out a player? It might be required if someone is riding in the wrong direction or crashing people intentionally? Or is the advice to run private friends room?

From the previews/interviews/reviews I've read seen so far it looks very promising

Kind regards and many thanks for your answers!

Good luck with the demo release date question

[monumental]

First of all, all I currently know is that the demo will be released before the game. Capcom haven't given me a date yet, but as soon as they do, I'll post it here.

I'll also get answers to your other questions as soon as possible.

I've read somewhere that the demo is on hold because of Microsoft. Is this true? If so, why do PS3 players have to wait too?

Many thanks for your effort! I think the way you've continued to communicate between the players/community and the developers is quite unique for a game. Although some postings show little respect for the developers and/or the effort being done to produce a great game. Surely they can't make everyone completely happy, and there will probably things within the final game I would liked to be different or improved, but I believe MotoGP 0910 will be a big step forward compared to the MotoGP08 game who was mainly focussed on simplified offline-gameplay, graphically nice (with bad fps) but no decent multiplayer interface as the online gameplay on MotoGP08 was (IS) the worst of all.

I agree , this is the first forum I see where someone from the development team really tries his best to answer most qustions.

On other game forums (i.e. Codemasters, EA) 90% of the questions are just ignored.

[monumental]

Monumental Games are very community driven and strongly believe that we need to be talking to you at every opportunity. We can't always answer every question in as much depth as you would like, but we do our best to ensure you're never ignored.

-Is tire-worn also available in the multiplayer? [Would be brilliant!]

YES

-I know it is not possible to change your setup in multiplayer, but can you load a saved setup created earlier (@ single player) for every racetrack?

No, but it's possible to setup a bike for each track, join multiplayer, pick the bike which corresponds to the track that you’ll be playing… I’d setup the same bike for each track that way you can never go wrong but then in a 125cc season I’d also pick Jasper Iwema because “Iwema” sounds ace if you say it like Emperor Palpantine so bear that in mind…

-I know about the voting system concerning the race-tracks, but is a host still able to kick out a player? It might be required if someone is riding in the wrong direction or crashing people intentionally? Or is the advice to run private friends room?

YES

LOL! Many thanks for the SUPER-QUICK answers. Great news actually, tire worn in multiplayer is absolutely FANTASTIC!

However, I am not sure about the last YES. Is a host able to kick out a player YES/NO?
Or do we need to run private rooms to prevent the need to kick someone? YES/NO?

[monumental]

The host is able to kick a player out in a private game. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about a normal game though. I'll pop off and find someone who does know for sure.
