Touring with Tourist Trophy


The bivouac logged some laps with Polyphony Digital's Tourist Trophy Playstation 2 motorcycle simulator. Polyphony is the same company that brought us the excellent Gran Turismo racing series, and this title is equally impressive.

Beyond convincing riding dynamics, an extensive range of motorcycles and riding gear to explore, and near photorealistic racing venues, perhaps one of the most pleasant features of the simulator is the photo mode. It allows riders to replay a race and capture memorable moments. Extensive image manipulation capabilities are available so riders can pan to a perfect angle at a critical moment in the competition and stylize their photos to their choosing. As for the level of detail achieved, the images below are photos output from the simulator.

It was straightforward to plug an iShuffle USB drive into the PS2 and save the photo content. Add a Yamaha Motor Sport Game Controller for added control and immersion. Ride safe, smart, and strong.

It was remarkably easy to plug an iShuffle USB drive into the PS2 and save the photo content. You may want to add a Yamaha Motor Sport Game Controller to the mix for added control and immersion. Ride safe, smart, and strong.
