MotoGP 22 is launching today on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Italian developer Milestone has worked hard to introduce something new this year and – on top of fresh, hyper-realistic gameplay features on track – that includes NINE mode, an interactive documentary that allows players to relive the legendary MotoGP season 2009.
Ahead of the game’s April 21 release, GLHF had the chance to talk with NINE director Mark Neale, also known for Faster, Faster & Faster (starring Ewan McGregor), Fastest, and Hitting the Apex, co-produced with Brad Pitt. Neale offered insights about what makes video games unique, compared to more traditional documentaries, and detailed the most complex and peculiar sides of his experience on MotoGP 22. Of course, as a MotoGP fan, he also briefly discussed how it feels to watch a grand prix without Valentino Rossi, now that he’s officially retired.
