The video has commendable visuals of a rider racing through a suburb on a rainy day. The video gives an interesting insight into the maker’s vision for the game. The title quite evidently breaks the ‘reality threshold’. Although, fans believe the title’s hardware and running quality were compromised due to the same. A lot of critics had earlier pointed out the game comes with a lot of technical issues. Fans believe the maker’s focus on beautification led to the quality decline.
Fans were quick to react to the clip. The gameplay impressed a lot of the fans. They couldn’t believe the clip belonged to a virtual world.

Another fan praises the makers for finally breaking the threshold with the innovation.
I’ve been waiting patiently for games to break this threshold for at least fifteen years. I talked about this extensively ten years ago. It’s exciting to see this start to come to fruition.

Another user calls the title “a bit off”, as he expresses his view.
Rain is clearly not reacting to wind buffering. For that matter the rider is unaffected by drafting as well. No bobbling. No misting from wheels .
As having been in that situation it just feels "off".

Ride 5, the upcoming addition to the franchise coming on PlayStation 5 is open for pre-orders. Hence, the makers would certainly be keeping an eye out on the public reactions.
