Summary
In Tour de France 2016 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox you play a professional rider competing in the "Grande Boucle". Immerse yourself in this supreme challenge of professional racing, and experience all the adrenaline and thrills of the greatest champions of that sport!
Select one of the official teams participating in the Tour and embark on an amazing Tour de France 2016 packed with challenges: from the "grand depart" at the foot of Mont Saint-Michel, battle through the tough routes in the Pyrenees between France and Spain and challenge the best climbers on the mythical inclines of Mont Ventoux and the Mont Blanc massif to experience the excitement of the grand fi nale on the Champs Elysees.
Manage your effort efficiently, select the best trajectories and implement the best race strategies with your teammates to achieve the objectives set by your manager and sponsors. In single player or in multiplayer on the same screen, you can attack, defend your jersey and set the pace of the peloton... change riders at any time to adapt to the race events; anything is possible in Tour de France 2016!
ENHANCED REALISM
Cycle along more realistic routes, discover new and beautiful scenery stretching from the foot of Mont Saint-Michel to the peaks of the Ventoux to the legendary final in Paris. Ride in the center of an even more eventful peloton with a richer and more immersive soundscape and spot your rivals more easily from their specific body types (sprinter, climber, etc.).
NEW GAME MECHANICS
Gear changes are currently managed automatically to allow the player more freedom to concentrate on his tactical decisions. The team objectives are now even more closely aligned with the composition of your team for the next stage to provide greater realism. Finally, this year fans of sprints will be able to “throw” their bike over the line to gain the precious centimeters that could make all the difference in a competitive sprint finish!
A MORE COMPREHENSIVE CHALLENGE MODE
Players seeking sensational thrills will enjoy a more comprehensive Challenge mode. This mode will enable you to test your skills as a descender as you pile on the speed to race down the cols as quickly as possible, and can currently only be played with two players on the same screen. In single player, a “ghost” of your previous descents will be displayed to serve as a reference point. Lastly, you can compare your times with the world rankings, including the times of the best descenders in the game!
MORE COMPETITIONS
New routes are now playable in the Tour and MY Tour modes in addition to the Tour de France 2016 and 2015 and the Critériums (International and Dauphiné), providing more alternatives and new stages compared to the existing routes. The Circuit des Grimpeurs and the Triptyque Tour will provide more variety and challenges for players.
UPGRADED AI
Your manager will be more active during the races and will automatically propose different tactics to immediately deal with key events in the race, i.e. a breakaway of a direct competitor, to win the yellow jersey. You are responsible for choosing the best strategy and your teammates will automatically respond to your instructions.
