Bet you didn’t think you’d be reading an article about motorcycle sim RIDE 4 today, did you? We didn’t expect to be writing one either, to be brutally honest with you. Still, that hasn’t stopped this footage of the racer from going viral on Reddit and various other social media platforms. And it’s not hard to see why: it looks mind bogglingly good. Like, photorealistic.
There are a few caveats, however, as you’d expect: the overcast lighting and rain slicked streets are adding to the illusion. Moreover, from what we understand this is actually replay footage: you don’t get all of that uber-realistic head-bobbing during gameplay, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, this clip has racked up over 600,000 views in less than a week – the team at Milestone will be chuffed.

Ok now that is insanely impressive looking. I know it’s just a replay but wow!
Wow😳.thats is some insane looking graphics on this game playas.oh sh😄t.probably best graphics i ever seen.looks so real.ps5 is like eric b and rakim it aint no joke.word up son
That lighting is superb.
Impressive. Wonder why the camera won't bob like that during gameplay...adds so much, and looks playable enough. Shame.
@Bleachedsmiles Agree. It would be cool to have these effects at least as an option.
Wow!... look at that.
More of a car racing fan so never played a Ride game. I guess time to start.
Looks amazing! Also looks boring.
This is the most impressive footage I have ever seen. It's flat out amazing.
This even looks better than forza 5
Would it be too much to ask for to get a real Road Rash game looking like this?
You missed a trick by not making the tagline ‘Biker glow-ve’. Ant and Dec would be ashamed.
It looks so real its terrifying to me im certain that a motorcycle is not for me thise speeds. 😬
Something like this would br insane in VR.
Wow I was going blank again while watching that.
"Would you like to see this on PSVR2?" you might spontaneously ask... Well yes, in fact I would!
I saw this video last weekend, and was impressed so much, that I re-downloaded the game after buying/deleting it earlier this year... Aaaaaaaaaand, the game still stinks. The absolute worst game controls/handling I have ever experienced in any game. And still the worst purchase I have ever made in gaming — eclipsing Madden 19...and that's saying A LOT.
Needless to say, I should have listened to Push Square's review of this game and avoided it — Lesson learned.
I'm not into racing games that aren't named Burnout, Blur, or Mario Kart, but this looks great for fans of this type of racing.
I bed it would be great on PSVR2.
I like that creator's (Joy of Gaming) videos.
But I wonder if he is enhancing his gameplay videos a bit.🤔 I've seen some videos of his of GT Sport, and DriveClub, and they look super, super sharp — sharper than they do when I boot it up on my PS5. Particularly DriveClub, which on my console, looks every bit of 1080p as it is supposed to look. And I have an 8K-capable TV, so it can upscale...
Great graphics do not equal great gameplay. Drive Club was one of my most regretted purchases on PS4.
@playstation1995 What? English please.
@Bagwag82 insert "we don't do that here" meme
Looks great but the game is crap.
@playstation1995 "regulators" i really dig your music choices...
@Bagwag82 not a hip hop man i take it then lol..
You had me going there until you said replay footage. Remember GT1?
No ray tracing? Automatic fail.
It’s the lighting model that give some games that true-to-life quality. Textures are already photorealistic - photogrammetry pushes graphics further towards reflecting the “real”. It’s how these textures are lit that convinces us to whether they look real or not.
Looks a bit too wobbly the camera and why don’t they ever do something with the hands would be nice if they would move when speeding, braking/changing gear(at least the hand part of changing gear/braking)
still waiting for Road Rash
Looks great. Unfortunately every time I play Ride 4 I can’t take a corner to save my life, and I always seem to be colliding with other racers 🙄 think I’m gonna stick to 4 wheel racers!
Ah 'The Joy Of Gaming'... Been subbed to him for a long time.
He posts amazing clips
Reducing the quality to 480 or 240 really makes it look like video footage.
I also tried this again but just can’t get into it.
Reluctantly dabbling in the crew whilst waiting for hot wheels unleashed, then keep in that to tide me over until GT7.
@GoodGame yeah I’ve only just come across the channel and dare I say they even managed to make me second guess my opinion on riders republic!
I haven't played this game, but obviously everyone saying the handling is crap just needs to git gud
time to get a bike!
When you watch it full res of a big screen, it doesn't look that amazing. They've just turned up the reflections to 11 and everything goes by so fast you don't get to see any detail. Just looking at the bike model in front of the camera looks like what you'd expect from a game.
@BadPlayerOne you do see the hand move a little on the throttle and he's doing some single finger braking, I guess no clutch action due to a quick shifter!
@Northern_munkey. Regulators warren g feat nate dog a classic.mobb deep.nas.onyx.kool g rap.wu tang clan.run dmc.epmd.etc.word up son
@Bagwag82. Bagwag wtf🤔.too bad you dont speak English.maybe you need to speak french or Spanish😂😏😊.haha.word up son
It's like on a concert when you waste like 2 hours with this pre-group before Metallica comes on stage. To me, this is merely an appetizer what GT7 will bring
@nessisonett
These graphics would be lost on them.
“He cannae see mon!!!”
That was rather harrowing for teatime children’s television.
@playstation1995 dmx.bone thugs and harmony.body count..too many not enough space lol..word up son..playa of the year..🤩
Are we sure this is not a cam on a helmet? WTF
@Northern_munkey @playstation1995 word to both yo mommas. Lit choices.
That sort of takes me back. I used have a Suzuki 250 and Honda 200. Scared the s**t out of my pillion passengers when I took the corners. lol
@Grimwood Yeah should at least be an option...imagine it with the dualsense fighting against you too.
@Bleachedsmiles probably because it would make you feel sick pretty quickly with all the bobbing and weaving.
@ISD1982 only if you have a particularly weak stomach. No harm in having it as an option for those of us who don't. I never play racing games in 3rd person...there's still an option for it. Know what I mean
@Bleachedsmiles yeh it’s the replay cam wobble gives it that true realism. Though the day that’s in it looks fairly real too.. promising enough….
I've seen the videos...what is he doing? HOW is he playing PS4 games that look amazing (4K/60fps) on PS5? Is it a hack?
@Stocksy. Word to your mother and father.and your girlfriend.🤔.word up son
@eagletrippin are you serious? Its a bit of fun and banter..everybody has their thing..a catch phrase if you will and maybe yours should be "ba humbug" or something equally fun killing..jog on and leave the old guys be..
What’s with people coming after the way @playstation1995 speaks online? One of the only people I’ve noticed on here that comments regularly and doesn’t get into arguments. Always bringing positivity and enthusiasm to the community.

@playstation1995 speaking for myself here..i have no issue with how you speak here..i understand you perfectly and you are always having a laugh..i wish i had your optimistic outlook but i'm too cynical and i do like a good old debate and the occasional bit of argy bargy when people try to get all up in it..keep on spinning those rhymes..word.up.son🤘
@Ashley-SchaefferBMW. Cool profile pic is that nwa ric flair or something in that matter.anyways i think both person especially eagle trippin got hes period today. so i believe thats why she/he or he/she is acting like that.😂😲😊😀.word up son

@playstation1995 You got a problem with me, dun?! Queensbridge, mofo! The Wu got my back, SOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! LOL. C'mon man, you don't seriously talk like that in real life — this is just your act...
@playstation1995 You've been like that forever, lol, clearly. So basically you haven't progressed or grown one bit since 1995, okay, or hell, even adapted your slang/lingo with the times 😂
@eagletrippin not sure what your issue is to be honest but whatever it is take it somewhere else..you just called him out on starting arguments etc and thats exactly what you have done..hypocrisy and irony all at once..i'm impressed with the level of ignorance,stupity and hostility you are displaying oh and this is a playstation site so fanboys are all around..say it loud "i'm a fanboy and proud"..
@eagletrippin fair enough, I haven’t noticed comments other than him bigging up the games he enjoys. Still, would be better to reserve criticism for when it’s actually necessary instead of suddenly attacking his use of language now when he’s just trying to celebrate his interests.
@Northern_munkey This isn't he & I's first rodeo... But, ehh...okay, my guy. PS+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ whooooooooooo
@Ashley-SchaefferBMW Touche...
@eagletrippin there you are..very mature response and thanks for showing everybody exactly what a petulant child you are..
@playstation1995 it’s Will Ferrell’s character from Eastbound & Down, loosely based on Ric Flair.
@Northern_munkey Yeah, okay man🙄
@eagletrippin. Thats the way it is playa.the greatest city in the 🌎 world new york city represents.im a black man whos highly influence by old school rap music.and your eagles just one one superbowl😂😲🤔😏.pittsburgh Steelers best nfl franchise ever.word up son
@playstation1995 Yeah, only 1 SB, that's fair. But at least it's fairly recent, but who wants to live off the distant past anyway. I've never been one to jump on bandwagons, let alone of the most popular teams... And, best NFL franchise? As much as I'd hate to say it, probably the Patriots, not you guys😉
@playstation1995 And, big ups to NY. I'm from the West Coast, seen all the 2pac-Big beef, but was always a bigger east coast rap head.
@eagletrippin. Nah those cheaters nope.patriots spy gate.nope playa.pittsburgh Steelers forever.and yeah i was actually there when tim dog diss Nwa. Krs one vs mc shan.etc.word up son
@playstation1995 They are cheaters, I would have to agree with that...
@GreatAuk flat out wasn’t that amazing 🙊
@sketchturner Driverclub has a higher meta user score then GT Sport 👍 I thought it was more then component as a launch arcade racer.
Looks amazing, but after a minute I was bored and looked how long the video was…. 8 mins snooze.
Not for me
@playstation1995 I'm just messing with you. I do speak English and live in England just so you know ☺️👍
@Northern_munkey lol
@naruball Lol
@Northern_munkey yeah I was just messing around, didn't mean to upset anyone. Word 👍
@Bagwag82 no problemo muchacho...👍
Might be time to close this comments section.
gloves and bike are the most unrealistic thing in the video
@Bagwag82. I know that playa.we got to have more fun here on pushsquare.respect.word up son
@darklaw funny that as it’s the one constant. Stands out like a fake thumb
Even in resolutions below 4K, it still is breathtaking.
No water spray looks a bit odd though!
@Alan_cartridge_ @BoldAndBrash
I'm happy for all those who enjoyed Drive Club. I'm just not one of them. 🤷♂️
@sketchturner DriveClub was amazing, graphically stunning compared to GT Sport, despite the lower res. And it was incredibly fun even though it wasn't a deep game. Ride 4 handles like a nightmare, and scares off 80% of people for how unforgiving it was.
Lord love a duck, the really does warm the cockles of my heart.
Not a fan of bikes or cars but do enjoy a decent racing game.
Ride 4 is transformed on PS5. Silky smooth 60fps. Lots of tracks,bikes and customising. Super fast illusion of speed and at times photo realistic visuals. Solid Dual Sense implementation and good audio work. But...it is not an easy game to control for novice or casual gamers, even though there are aids to assist. Game feels like a GT with bikes.
I never had the game on PS4 and apparently it had a three month free upgrade to PS5 but I did recently buy the PS5 version brand new for £20. Can't go wrong at that price.
Hmm. Does it always rain there? Looks all a bit depressing to me.
