Blood Bowl devs take on Tour de France

If they made a trainer that you cold hook up as a controller and it would give the trainer greater resistance as you went up hills then it would be playable. That way on the cold days I could just stay in and get a good workout.

As a HUGE cycling fan, I still can't see how this would work on a console. Is it a racing game? Or is it a sports manager game? the official game website is also pretty vague.

Surely all you have to do on this is tap x and steer?

i think this has always been a strange title when they release the tour de france on any console ????

I love watching the Tour de France but have never tried one of the games. Maybe I'll have a look at this one then.......

This is about the 7th year in a row they have released this classic game and better every year. Dont knock it until u try it.

If I could play this game with my stationary bike as a controller I'd be interested. Otherwise, NFW.

C'mon... As if it wasn't boring enough to watch... oh well, sure there are some people who would want it :)

could be cool

I think this will be fun if the environment is EXTREMELY detailed.

This game makes you wonder about people!??!?! How they thought this game would sell is a mystery!!!!

cycling does not make for interesting gameplay. whats it going to be pressing x repeatedly to go faster like in gta, or is gonna be like qwop with a button for each part of the leg? Either way sounds boring, cycling should only be a mini game like being part of an olympic game at best. not a standalone.

I want Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 3.

Takek "devs" out of that news title and now we have a game.

Even as a competitive cyclist/triathlete I wouldn't lay a finger on this game. The cover shows a dude in a time-trial position without an aero helmet. If you're a cycling fan you get it. What a joke.

Talk about a niche market

I'd also rather just watch the tour, and I'd rather get waterboarded than watch the tour, so you can guess how interested I am in this game.

With everyone saying "this game won't take off" "why would anyone want to buy this game?!" Maybe you lot should think for a second, erm let's see, FIFA 10, why would anyone buy that? Cricket, why would anyone buy that? Darts, why would anyone buy that? In other words with all these sh1tty sports games that are out this is something different.

i would rather just watch the tour

i think this idea would work well as a kinect excercise game.

*the last boss* sorry I think faster then i type.

@ ahpuck I'll do you one better. Man Vs Food this last boss being a 300pound Triple Hamburger you have to eat in under 2hours.

wow, with games like this, I can't wait for them to release a 'pole vault championship' for kinect lol

Instead of complaining about this game, lets turn this into a game. Can anyone think of a worst idea than a Tour de France game? how about a game based on The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show?

This is one of the more idiotic ideas in gaming ever. They really think people will buy this?

@ Merex760 LOL why bother Kinect sucks. I've got a 360 and I got no reson to get Kinect. Real controler FTW. real controler > Kinect

I love riding my bike, and I love gaming. I still don't know why I'd want this game!?!?

Seems like quite a boring game tbh

It should be better than the last one, that was really really rubbish. It had like three generic stages and wasn't even accurate to any of the routes. I hope it's good, and has things like team orders, lead outs for the sprint finishes... and I hope they can get the Eurosport commentators for some commentry.

That sounds not very fun.

If they could somehow Kinect this where it would pick me up on my trainer it could be awesome for rainy days, or really cold days, when I can't get out. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard for the cameras to pick up my pedal work. Any decent rider spends time on a trainer. This could make that training time more fun.

Blood bowl was ok, going to try this also..vive le tour

id rather chew broken glass..

Ya this needs something like a kinect bike.

What kind of people buy these games?

Make it a Kinect game! Don't ask how it would work. KINECT!

I hope it's possible to juice the bikers. Since it's a cycling simulation and all.

It's going to flop. Who honestly wants to play a cycling simulator...? Does that not sound boring?

yes definitely would be awesome to have something this good on a stationary bike, or something similar on a treadmill for running. But otherwise im not entirely sure how you'd play a cycling sim... lol

yeah I agree thie would be great for a stationary bike.

This is something that would be really cool on those video cycling machines at the gym.
