Man, it's about time. The last few games were so bad that I think most everyone has given up hope on these. Reflex had potential. Alive was a complete failure IMO. They were nothing compared to Unleashed.

MCM1 Started an addiction to online mx gaming.
MCM2 fed the original addiction and was way before it's time and much like many rock legends died too quickly.
MX vs ATV eh it was ok but limited.
MX vs ATV Alive garbage.
Reflex touched on huge potential and is very satisfying when you get it down. However let us ride any track any time in open practice any direction.
I hope whatever come next will learn from all past games.

Not sure why everyone is excited, the last three sucked (reflex was just ok). I'll keep playing Mx vs. ATV unleashed until something better comes out. But hey, maybe they get it right this time.

All I want is some real tracks. If I have to race one more track that is placed on the side of a ski hill in december I'm gonna flip out.

Reflex was much better than Alive, hands down.

All the glitches in Alive... hold down the stunt modifer button for perfect wheelies through whoop sections.
Lean back and clutch for a super turbo nos power boost
And there are these stakes in the ground that appear to be wooden with flags on them but when you hit one its like you ran into a lead pole that is buried into the earth's core.


I hope the game engine is MUCH more like reflex than alive

I haven't learned MXsim yet but I like the realism, you case it or flat land from 75 feet up you crash. Going to focus on MXsim, I just downloaded the 2013 SX season, 2013 Nats and some kick ass bike skins for a total of $0.0 . I hated the dumb turbo landing thing in unleashed, I think it was unleashed anyway, the one before reflex. I figured they would fix the tuff block issue in reflex but it was worse in Alive!

Erection number 2.

But please, don't forget to release the part of the name: "vs ATV" .

We don't want any ATV in OUR game. We just want realism, SX, outdoors and tons EXTRA HOURS to spend. Like MCM2,

Damn, I feel like after unleashed there was no live for PC/Mac users.

Milions of fu*king games for Formula 1, Rally Car and blablabla, and still looking for a dirt bikes game. Does any one never made an enduro game?

I love the "For One Player" sentence above the title. No sidecars, i guess?

This Kawi in the cover makes me feel the need to buy this game. NOWADAYS!

This is great news. I'm going to side with all the guys saying Reflex is better than Alive. I still play it even with no online. Remember when they showed Cole Seely playing Reflex in the semi during an SX broadcast?
12/21/2013 4:29am Edited Date/Time 12/21/2013 4:43am
I actually prefer the scale and traction of Alive but Reflex does control better. I know some prefer Reflex. But guys, the new team is bringing aspects from both Alive and Reflex to MX vs ATV Supercross. Hopefully we get the best of both worlds.

I still think the JS7 stuff is the best in the series. Because it re[licates a real track and is superbly done. I've not always been a fan of the tracks in any of the MVA games so hopefully the new team, without the THQ suits dictating, will make realistic and enjoyable tracks for the new title.

The thing is this. When Alive was made it was made with exactly this type of DLC in mind thus the platform was designed for it. Then THQ shut the doors and we never got a chance to get Supercross. But I think there was already a lot of progress done to Alive SX before the doors were closed. It is speculated this is the core of what we will see in MX vs ATV Supercross. It was termed as MX vs ATV Alive Tournament in the auction in which Nordic bought the IP.

Nordic just purchased the IP several months ago. To acquire the rights and then go thru the massive task of getting all the t's crossed, i's dotted and gather all the intellectual property from THQ is a major, time consuming undertaking. Nordic then saw their was a massive demand for MX and were able to get in contact in with some of the former developers and form a new team. To actually do that in this short amount of time as well as form a new development team (consisting of some old members) and get MX vs ATV Supercross near completion is quite astounding.

It has been really cool to communicate with the head of the team and assist them in a few different ways

Reinhard Pollice and Nordic...kudos. Smile

How can anyone say Alive was good? Aside from the js7 compound and real bikes(which didn't come with the game and you had to buy later) it was absolute garbage. Every time you land a big jump you come to a halt, its like racing on quicksand. Also the rider movements always seemed off to me. I "parked" alive about a year ago and I'm never going back and honestly if this game is similar it may be a pass for me

Edit: I understand they can draw kids to these games even if they don't ride, but can't they just make an arcade version that's easy for kids to have fun on so us big kids can put in work on a simulator like real game?

Still to this day i play Reflex. I bought Alive, popped it in, played 5 min, popped it out and never played it again. Reflex is hands down the direction they should go. Heck even back to unleashed. I will buy the new game but if its like Alive then im pretty sure they have lost me. Reflex is the reason i bought a PS3

Hopefully they make it more like Reflex as others have said. I jumped on the Alive bandwagon when it came out and never thought it was that great. I was fast on it and all and most tracks i have top 1000 lap times. But after only a few months I went back to Reflex and never looked back. Everything about the game is just so much better to me.

I'm very happy about this. Online is so much fun playing supercross. Had a lot of great battles in reflex. Alive was a disgrace of a game. Glad to see the franchise coming back though. I don't have the time or computer to learn MX Sim.

(along with holding trick button down after entrance to whoops)
Make the bikes faster so people don't lose interest so quickly
More tracks
Im pumped

My best time ever on oceanview is 1:07:92. Love seeing that pop up on my buddies screens when im at their cribs playing

Im telling you guys with ALIVE you have to unlock Scrub master and clutch master for the game to be fun at all. Youtube how to clutch master and youll be doing quads and timing rhythms in no time. Game becomes addictive all over again

apparently I'm the only one who enjoyed Alive...

Alive was better to me. At least the JS7 Compound was. With scrub and clutch master it felt great. And the tracks were the right scale Not 10 times too large and wide like Reflex.Not to mention the kamikaze AI of Reflex and touchiness sending your bike and rider flying hundreds of yards, unrealistically.

With that being said, other than the JS7 Compound the tracks in Alive sucked. Then again only the Supercross in Reflex were good to me. I've never liked the Nationals in any of the MVA games. Too unrealistic, too fast, too many jumps and (until Alive) too large of scale.

Hopefully MX vs ATV Supercross gets the best of both games and keeps the scale and traction of Alive while getting the better control and feel of Reflex. Good, realistic tracks are the key. The JS7 Compound is truthfully the only realistic representation of a track the series has ever had and that is because it is a replica. They tend to fantasize their own tracks too much.

Let's just hope they fix the damn tuff block issues that have plagued past games. Getting hung up in a sea of tuff blocks could get super frustrating.

I hope they include the effect from alive where if you hit a witches hat it sounded like a chain link fence.

That made the game for me.

overall the quality of the design and coding made Reflex a superior product. Alive seemed rushed and developed by a team focused on other games. however, there were strides made in the physics of Alive that would make a new game better - that is, if they bring back the overall quality of Reflex.

i.e. Reflect style + Alive physics + great Supercross tracks could make this a major deal for us.

I like Reflex best. There are parts of Alive I like especially Stewart's compound that could be used.

The most important part of Alive that they need to use is HAND GESTURES haha ...

Reflex - hands down in my opinion. Still play it on the reg.

Especially since it is back up on Steam.

No scrub or turbo button bullshit. Just fix it up a bit and it could be great.
