nordic games forum. (MX vs ATV)

Thread is flooded with kids demanding some weird shit.

Interesting, I had missed that info

some news was released just the other day about mx vs atv there. atleast they've been working on bringing mx back to us..

Four months after parting with $4.9 million to pick up a number of big ex-THQ properties, Austrian-based Nordic Games is still working to finalize its transaction with the now-bankrupt company. If you were looking for announcements at Gamescom - as Nordic Games hoped to have - on the futures of Darksiders, MX vs. ATV, Titan Quest, and Red Faction, you may have a fair while to wait - although not necessarily in all cases .

"It takes longer than expected getting everything together because THQ, there are not a lot of people there," explained Reinhard Pollice, the man in charge of business and product development at Nordic. "There are just like five people and they're mostly financial and administration guys. So the stuff that we need is really hard to get. I've been visiting them a lot of times, trying to make sure we get everything that we actually want, or that we should get."

While Pollice said he's a fan of the franchises Nordic acquired, he feels THQ at some point became too big a company to make use of the talents it had; he noted the now defunct company made a lot of bad decisions with Red Faction after Guerrilla, for example. That may explain why he places the shooter franchise lower in Nordic's priority than Darksiders, MX vs. ATV, and Titan Quest, which he sees as first, second and third. That's not to say a new Red Faction isn't coming; Pollice said Nordic is in talks with former Volition members who left the studio over the last four to five years, and that Nordic is still evaluating what to do with the franchise.

Meanwhile, Darksiders remains years, rather than months, away. Pollice said Nordic's been in good discussions with some members of the original Vigil Games Team, but a "certain core" are now at Crytek US and most likely won't be available.

The timing of THQ's auction wasn't perfect for Nordic. "It would be better to have it six months earlier, because then you could probably plan a few things a bit differently, and we would be at a more advanced stage than we are right now. Our strategy for next-gen is that we don't want to rush into anything."

Pollice couldn't discuss next-gen development for any of its acquisitions, but did say that Nordic is talking to Sony and Microsoft, has dev kits, and is prepared for that eventuality. Having said that, Pollice also noted concern that the market has to first accept next-gen consoles, and in the meantime they're in a commercial limbo.

In terms of the nearer future, Pollice said offroad fracer franchise MX vs. ATV and action-RPG Titan Quest are closer to resurfacing. In fact, according to Pollice, the level of fan fervor for MX vs. ATV has exceeded that for Darksiders.

"There is just a big community waiting for the next stuff for that. We're currently working with former Rainbow Studios people to evaluate what's possible, how to drive it further. We think this can be something where we can start something more recently in time."

i think roncada is more concerned about the PC than console mx, but it would be nice tho. he's a badass track builder.

If I spent $4.9 million on something they better have it ready to hand over to me. Maybe that's how it is when you buy from a bankruptcy auction and you have to just go there and have a scavenger hunt for what you bought. That will take some time.

what do ya make of this??


"On Motoclub depot we arent sure if we can bring it back ever. We are digging our way through various backups but so far no luck. Unfortunately the hosting company deleted in May. Although it may seem we could have avoided that we had no chance. We didnt even know about that before Mid June.

I wish I had better news about the Motoclub depot. "nordic games

Ok, for starters MCM2 was with a joystick, it was a hell of a game with a hell of community too. Nowadays its all changed to xbox controller on PC which is kind of a set back but an adjustment at the same time. Most riders from mcm2 know that changing from stick to controller is a bitch of a thing to do. If Nordic who are running the show now want to get more sales for there game and a bigger online community then they need to work on a few things. For starters, they need to create a place online that all the riders can go and chat, what they have atm or used to is not sufficient enough. IMO they need lobby rooms more like mcm2 had @ the zone.com where we can all communicate before we go into the server, also needed is communication such as chat available when we go into the server and whilst racing online, it would make things a lot easier for tournaments etc and boost the socialiality of the game aswell. Im pretty pissed they havnt done this already. And yes, reflex IMO is better then alive, alive is not very realistic especially with the jumps its like the rider has no hangtime.. IMO reflex is closer to the real life ride then alive. Another enhancement they could make with reflex is a track editor. Now I know that some of the folk at twisteddirt.com have invented one and that's fucking fantastic but we need it here and now so when the servers get back up we can download and ride custom tracks. Who cares is Nordic are against it they cant do anything its in our hands now as we have the track editor and can ride tracks its just a matter of when the editor will be finished so the spline can be implemented and we can ride tracks in online competition. So please, im begging you, hurry the fk up on that. So by the time the servers are back up if they ever will be which im hoping so much for a yes is the game will and can be improved in so many ways and if Nordic take on this feedback then the game will be almost tip top. Without creating another game we can still run reflex but the enhancements I mentioned in this post need to be applied to make it a stronger game. Don't know what other games will be released in the MX/SX/STUNT world of dirt bikes but will always be looking forward to a more realistic hardcore racing dirtbike sim. Anyways, hope this clears a lot of things up and hope we can make an improvement from here.

Will they release the MCM2 patch LOL

I can see its been awhile since anyones updated this spot, and what I'm about to say may be in the post regarding PC versions being rebooted. Anyways, I took a minute while at work to browse through the Nordic forums posted up there and after 70+ pages and 1100+ replies, I found maybe 10 that pointed towards consoles. Albeit I was skipping pages at a time as I didn't care to read what everyone was saying, it looks like Nordic has planned a release date for Alive on consoles for November 29th. Or at least sometime this month. It's on Amazon, yet not released at the moment. It also looks like Reflex is on there too, and from what I read on Nordics forums the new games will include all DLC.
