Mx vs. ATV Reflex for PC

“We are thrilled to bring the #1 off-road racing franchise, MX vs. ATV, to the PC platform for all the fans,” said Michael Lustenberger, Vice President of Global Brand Management - Online, THQ. “As a huge added bonus, we developed a substantial amount of dynamic downloadable content post-console launch that will be included in MX vs. ATV Reflex on PC.”


Pretty rad! Hopefully the guys at mxg-hq.com will create some awesome content for this platform like they did unleashed. Now I just have to figure out how to access that website again. Tried with multiple browsers on both my PC and Mac with no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

Looking into the Press release further, it appears Rainbow Studios might not even have anything to do with this release...whatever...

Why don't the fix the damn game they have out now. I have a PS3, and ever since they patched the game, I sit in an empty lobby indefinitely. When I am lucky enough to get into a game, it's never with more than two riders. I love the gameplay, but not having the online work worth a shit is a joke. It pisses me off so much that I won't buy another one of their games until I rent it first. I want to know what I'm paying for, because I might as well have lit $130 on fire for the use that I get out of Untamed and Reflex.

At least you don't have a Wii like I do. Can't even play Reflex on Wii. Not sure why it didn't come out on the system.

Get ready for some good tracks that have been on my hard drive since John started the REV project a few years ago. I've got Wake's Red Bud too. Can't wait to convert them to one HD tile and have all kinds of shader maps and high res objects at my disposal.

Go find my Atlanta 2009 replica on the forums. I know 137 and 608 have it. It's unfinished but Wingman did the dirt texture, Albert did the objects and I did all of the skinning for the objects/track layout. It uses SIM II physics and its a 6 tile HD track. There's some terrain tears that I never fixed but it rides the same regardless. A 250f is perfect on it.

When I play.....that is ALL I will play. The console games will get you only so far and is only good for one thing.....gaming! The graphics will completely blow a console away , the hook-up , connections to servers , down loadable patches , support , ways to create , riders , skins , tracks ....everything....will be better on a PC. All these games are MADE on a PC to boot......they are configured like shit to even play on a console!

Funny you say that because just the other day I was reading an article about how PC games are more or less a dying breed.

They aren't. The consoles have gotten more popular yes....and the games are easier to code as well........But think about it for a minute. What are you typing on right now......you can do just about anything on a PC.....you can only do so much on a console. Besides the fact....the PC's hardware is getting upgraded with CPU's , video cards , MB , Ram , going water cooled for extreme over clocking. The PC group is much bigger than some of you think.

And again..............who do you think "makes" the games for your consoles??.......here is a hint......PC!

I get all that jeffro. But just like anything in this world, it all comes down to time, and how each person uses it. And because the console experience has become more popular, people consume their personal (aka discretionary) video game time through consoles rather than PC games.

Just because I use a computer for an online social experience (like right now) or to do research, or as a function of work (like creating a console game), does not mean I use it for leisure and recreation as well. That would be like saying that a carpenter uses a hammer to drive nails and create structures, therefore it must also be true that he uses it for fun.

Lastly, while computer technology has been growing exponentially for over the last two decades ("upgraded with CPU's , video cards , MB , Ram , going water cooled for extreme over clocking"), do you not think that console systems are getting it just as fast? Because remember, while a console is not technically a "personal computer", it is still made up of all the same parts -the same parts that are becoming more and more advanced every day.

a console is a 3yr old computer.

Only reason consoles are favored over pc's is the lower chance of hacking the games these days.

Believe me , I understand completely where you are coming from. But what i was trying to say , was that a PC gamer will choose to play on a PC over a console because of all the things he can do "with that specific game". For the guys on the PC's....hacking in ( not really hacking....but making mods ) for games is where a lot of the fun is at. Being able to use 3rd party software such as Photoshop , 3DSmax , Maya ect to make these mods and create things that make the game a better experience.


I'm sure OcScotty could chime in here about the old MCM2 days where we had thousands of tracks , rider gear , bikes and ect that were all done for the PC gaming experience. I have an Xbox 360 here , but my buddies and their kids play it more than I do. I spend my gaming time ( which is hardly ever now days ) on my PC. It just makes it so much easier to be able to download all the patches , upgrades , mods along with visiting all the website which hosts all this software.


I dunno....I think the consoles are cool for the people who enjoy them , but looking at a 30" monitor ( or 3 monitors in super wide screen HD ) is an unreal experience in gaming when you are playing games such as Crysis , farcry and so forth. Besides....I have always been kind of a computer geek , and love building some big Mamba Jamba bad ass gaming machine. I have a $700.00 water tower sitting here I had built last winter and was going to finish my build on my new gaming machine this winter.....but damn it.....seems like I have all my money going into other things right now.

Also the price is a big factor. You can buy a game console for $200, and that makes them very attainable and affordable, but a computer worthy of gaming can be $1200+. But you can always make a computer better and faster. Not so much with a console.

I built my super-computer and would never abandon it for one of those dumb consoles. My wife watches tv and I play games on my computer. Works perfectly.

I just hope there is a online community with reflex on the PC. I have a 360 and the only game I literally play, is Mx Reflex. I pay monthly for live just for that game. When it comes to first person shooters, the PC dominates any console. PC FTW!

I think you're just a little too wrapped up in the PC gaming world to not have a biased opinion on this subject. While there are a lot of strengths to the PC gaming world (in relation to console games), that still doesn't negate the fact that the mass majority prefers console games. In other words, the mass market for recreational gaming is not like you... they play video games for fun (on occasion), and don't give it much thought past that (e.g. what kind of graphics card or quad-core processor will boost gaming performance). The market you're referring to is a market of PC "gamers". So what I'm saying in my original statement (along with some of the things you've said) is that consoles are taking over the mass market, and PC gamers are becoming a niche as a consequence (i.e. smaller share of the video game pie).

Trust me, I am not a total laymen to the PC gamer world. My brother is a WOW freak (as well as first-person shooter games), has been a programmer and computer tech whiz for over 20 years, and has an inventory of computer hardware that could build a dozen computers at any one time. Also, my other brother and I used to play MM2 online all the time, as well as building our favorite replica tracks and sharing them on RonRon (which was the only decent part of participating in that forum). Luckily for the second brother, he transferred his technical knowledge into a skilled profession of coding websites and creating motion graphics and digital 3D models, rather than playing online PC games. Not to say that playing video games is wrong or unproductive... to each his own I guess.

that too,I've got my pc linked to a 37" inch Tv, i wanted to buy a ps3 to play reflex on, but i'll just buy the game and a controller for my pc now Smile

Not too mention, i watch a lot of US series on it, that we don't get here.

Oh, it's good for browsing too :D

Everyone go look at the specs for this game. Most modern day PC's (built within the last 2 or 3 years easy) can run a game like Reflex easily, albeit not on max settings necessarily. You don't need max settings though in most cases. For people like me who build powerful computers it's just a plus.

A console is actually much more than 3 years behind PC. For example, A PS3 uses a graphics chip similar to a 7900gtx. Those were released in 2005 for PC.

The 360 is even farther behind....safe to say its using tech from 7-8 years ago.

Wow, got the entire system on a water loop, very very nice! I'd love to dip my feet more into water cooling but man, thats when it starts getting expensive. This puppy just came in the mail today. I wonder if it'll fit in a ps3 or xbox. lol
