MX vs ATV Supercross?

No one seems to be buying my optimism.

Not sure how you guys are getting all twisted about bike brands. At the moment I can't think of anything I give less of a shit about.

It's important because a lot of people want a game that that visually mimics the real deal as much as possible. You think a Madden game would sell as well if people couldn't play as their favorite team? What about Forza or Gran Turismo without the real cars? Is it really that much to ask for in a motocross game when so many others get that treatment?

So it's more than just not having real bikes to choose from, it's also the fact that the rider and bike don't seem to be the right scale. The rider IS ALWAYS SITTING DOWN, and he looks freaking HUGE on a bike that looks like a super mini. The body movements don't resemble the movements we all see when we watch the races on TV or feel when we ride (unless you're Doug Henry or Ricky James).

I remember seeing Alive gameplay and I hoped it would be better come release date. I was let down then, so I have no reason to expect anything better this time around. Out of all the changes that took place, you'd think they would have spent the little bit of time to adjust rider and bike size ratios. It looks goofy, and it's annoying to watch, which distracts from the experience.

I know the answer is "because it sells better that way," but that doesn't quite get to the bottom of it.

But I'm all for better physics. Realistic physics makes it more fun. Motocross is a beautiful thing, and it needs to feel in a game as good as it looks in person. But I personally think real physics mixed with more arcade-style features, tracks, mini-games, etc., is the way to go, and of course strong online play. Career modes, replica tracks, upgradable bike parts--yawn. Make the thing play well first.

OK, OK, playing Thunder Valley or Millville would be pretty sweet. (And how is it possible that a game hasn't put an SX track on the infield of a NASCAR loop yet?) I'm just stretching to make a point.

The perfect mx game would be MX vs ATV Unleashed with updated graphics, and don't add any of that extra body movement bullshit.
Perfect would be the first ATV Offroad Fury, but with dirt bikes.

Along with bringing back the following tracks:

ATV1
Somer's Raceway
Chateau Halifax
Manitoba Mills
Tupelo
Wilkes-Barre

ATV2
Prescott
I don't know the names well enough :[

MvA: Unleashed
Tucson
Charleston
Orlando
The Egyptian one
Actually just bring em all back. Except Boston. Fuck Boston.

Untamed
Denton
Capital City

How could they have not played reflex and figured out that that game should have been the base to improve off of. Not stupid ass alive and untamed. Come on people. Prob a bunch of quad riders making this shit lol

Goddamn that game looks like shit. I can't believe that people claim that Unleashed and Untamed are the best MvA games. Reflex gameplay is so much better that you can't even compare the games because it's unfair.

Beat me to it.

I think what we're going to have here is Untamed with track deformation and rider reflex, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Look, I've said it before and I'll say it again: As long as the multi-player mode is solid and promotes good, fun, racing, I'll be happy.

online play will have 2 options...random and host...I was just talking about mcm2 zone days where it was cool to host your on race...

Agree. Its amazing how much better it looks with someone who actually knows how to play the game. Can't believe you'd roll out a new game at E3 and have some Fred at the controls. Its like a factory debuting a new, state-of-the-art, 450 at a track and having a c-class rider demonstrate its capabilities.

thank goodness they got this new video out after that awful showing at e3.

game looks somehow 100% better only a few days later with a capable demo rider controlling it.

17 tracks? awesome

dlc....sigh.

this vid turned my excitement back on for the title though- i'm a mark though and mx content is so limited that i pick up almost any title that drops.

looking forward to it. i think it actually has a mix of Unleashed, Untamed, and Alive. still has a little bit goofy in air movement of the rider, but it looks like it flows really well. as others have said, it looks MUCH better with someone who knows how to play.

like others, i could do without the pre-load, but it's definitely not a deal breaker for me. anyone else notice dude was still pre-loading almost everything?

tracks look awesome and i'm glad they went wider like the Reflex and Unleashed games. Untamed and Alive were WAY too narrow, you just banged into other riders all the time and it got frustrating.

looking forward to the release.
