![]() And the cool thing with that is, the game world will always be populated with other players around you, making the world living and fun to watch. It is actually based on two elements - the players around you are seamlessly matchmade with you based on your position within the game world. I'm going to be a bit specific, but I think we have something that is really cool that we call the social presence. ![]() On the last gen consoles, it's more than 30 players around you. “When it comes to the interaction, on we can have over 55 players within the session. “The progression is partly supported live, so you have to be connected,” Manceau tells me. It's an open world with 60 players around you that runs 60 frames per seconds, so hopefully it looks very nice too.”īecause of how important the social side is to Riders Republic, online play is a big factor. And you can move around with a cursor, zooming wherever you want, and pretty much instantly it will load the social presence of real players or traces of players previously. You can be on top of the 3D map, which is actually the game, it's not really a map it’s the game from above. When you play with a friend of yours, you can press a button and directly be right behind them, and be in their experience at the top of the mountain with no loading. “You can switch from one place to another with pretty much no loading at all. “It's a massive open world,” Manceau says. That’s not the only way in which Riders is taking advantage of these tools. Of course, part of the reason Riders Republic can support so many different playstyles is because of the increased technology now available to developers, which did not exist in the original heyday of Tony Hawk and Mat Hoffman.

In terms of spirit, found it was relevant to the universe, by living in the mountains, the riders are pretty much the same. They are pretty much the same in terms of logistics, even if each of them is specific. “We think that is actually quite similar, both in terms of pure gameplay - you've got both racing or tricks - and also in exploration. “Our objective was to build a world community where you could enjoy outdoor experiences,” he tells me. This sense of cohesion was a big part of the game’s philosophy, Manceau says. Riders Republic throws myriad forms of transport together, with skis, snowboards, bikes, and wingsuits all available, with different variations within these types. ![]() Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is all about skateboards, SSX is snowboards, and Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX is all about cycling. ![]() Elite, naturally, is the best gear available in-game.In most games with extreme sports, it tends to just be one form of motion that gets the focus. Each bike has a quality level from 1 to 1000, which indicates how well it performs. As players progress through their career in the Republic, they will unlock better gear, which is divided into four quality classes Standard, Pro, Expert, and Elite. ![]() Different bikes are used for distinct events in-game: for example, Slopestyle bikes are ideal for fast tricks and spins, whereas Road bikes excel at racing on smooth tarmac, but tend to be more fragile. Unlike Steep, however, Riders Republic offers many more sports. It's fair to say that Riders Republic is the spiritual successor to Ubisoft's other extreme sports game: Steep. * The BMX career is available as a separate DLC, although all players can still access basic BMX bikes and gear as standard. Bikes are one of the most popular choices in Riders Republicand are split into five different categories: Downhill, Slopestyle, Freeride, Road, and BMX. Ubisoft's hit extreme sports exploration game Riders Republic has a lot of different toys for players to choose from when exploring the slopes. ![]()
