MotoGP 15

MotoGP 15 features 18 tracks, and the official riders from the 2014 and 2015 seasons of Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP, and will also feature customizable bikes. The season starts with the night race in Losail, and also includes Jerez, Assen and Sepang, with a wind and wet weather system. Other features include tire wear, damage and mechanical failures.

Per official entries, Paul Bird Motorsport retired from the championship, but Suzuki and Aprilia made an official return. One new feature is the ability for the player to create their own racing team, with choice of logo and livery. Starting off with a Mahindra MGP3O bike, the player must advance through the classes, and recruit sponsors. The game also has a mode which focuses on recreating events from the 2014 season, and in particular the rivalry between Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Marc Márquez, and the comebacks from riders such as Andrea Iannone. The PlayStation 4 version features an online league mode, where players battle for the best lap times.

Some riders need to be unlocked via the game's experience/level system. A further historic class is available to download (covering 2004-2006, e.g. the Kawasaki ZX-RR).

The game had mixed reviews. The developer issued a warning that the Xbox One version contained a number of bugs.[10] On the PlayStation 4, the consensus was that it looked ok, but did not improve significantly on the previous game. The Official PlayStation Magazine praised the bike handling, adding that "AI riders put up a great fight, outbraking you into hairpins and slipstreaming past you down the straights. ... overall, the racing is solid and challenging, and securing a podium finish without resorting to the rewind function is a significant achievement."[8] Analog Addiction praised the customisable race options and the stable and enjoyable multiplayer component.[9]

MotoGP 15 reached number 11 in the UK PS3 sales charts, as of April 19, 2016 still not available in North America[11] and number 16 in the PS4 charts.[12]
