[…] It’s still really hot outside… I wanted to post a concept that was somehow environmentally-friendly and I stumbled across this “sequel” to Mountain Bike Mike… and well… it wrote itself. […]

You know, I was *just* re-reading this game idea and thinking how much I like it. The PS3 and Wii controllers would certainly add that extra something to this idea. Thanks for the comment!

Sounds like the perfect fit for the PS3 and its new Dual Shake controls. I’ve seen plenty of ‘extreme’ TV shows where they love to show how one wrong swing of the handlebars leads to massive injuries.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

I have the scars to prove it.

There will, of course, be a Steamboat Springs Mad Descent Module, of course?

For added difficulty, beginners and hikers are strewn around the course.

Negative points for passing peds without warning (at least a “Tally Ho!”) and serious, SERIOUS negative points for hitting a ped.

Positive points for stopping to help another biker, giving directions, and pushing the 15 year old Banzai Assholes off the edge after they’ve hit a ped.

Yes, this game would be all about danger. The trick would be making it somehow meaningful to the player without being super punishing.

I see the game as being open-world and very free-form. You would end up with some linear paths out of necessity, but the next-gen systems just might let you do an entire mountain top complete with flora and fauna.
