Slim Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 According to reliable sources, Jester Interactive, the developer behind Manx TT Superbike on the ps2 has gone bust. All the staff have apparently gone, the firms forums are a ghost town. A journo friend of mine has had a preview copy of Manx TT, so there is a chance that it's made it to the publisher before they shut down, so it might make the shelves. Either way, the dept of tourism should be looking into it, as it's a TT licensed product that might shortly be getting some bad press... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbx Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I know that some guys at Duke managed to get their hands on a demo of the game,whether it was a playable or rolling demo, I don't know. But the shots of it at the end of the TT 2004 DVD are awesome. I need to get that game, I really must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven ! Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 /Ignore my persona and forum name. As a local digital mapper/road surveyor/artifical-intelligence programmer/biker/fan of games and a very involved TT person I offered my services. The company offered very little interest. I too was looking forward to the end result. One of the original promises was for 2002 I do believe. /go back to steven ! mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rox Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 As a local digital mapper/road surveyor/artifical-intelligence programmer/biker/fan of games and a very involved TT person I offered my services. Did I miss you mentioning your red anorack somewhere in all of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven ! Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yes you did. Maybe it was the fact that I was wearing a single membrane wire reinforced hooded Bergahaus red anorak that put Clark off. You can have an anorak but you can't have everything. Ahh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue kipper Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Well it had better come out considering that most people have been waiting for it since at least April this year. Even if Jester have gone down the pan, someone (i.e. Duke) should take the demo they've got and make something decent of it. I'm pretty sure that the game would sell well if only it was released...

monkey_magic Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Today there was a demo of this game playing in HMV on the TV screens behind the counter. I don't think it was a playable demo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue kipper Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 According to iomtt.com, the game has been sent to Sony for approval before its release. Not sure if this is accurate though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it is, they have a video of a rolling demo playing behind the checkout. Both there and game still have the boxes with 'released soon - pre-order now' on them.
