What do you guys think?

I think it looks great, really excited to play it, the ruts, rider animation, ground physics and in air physics look like a big step forward from all the mxgp games (We dont talk about MXGP 24... haha)

Poll

Are you excited?

Probably not a hot take, but I feel like once you've invested some time into Mxbikes/mxsim it feels impossible to go back to those arcade games. And it seems like they're also declining more and more over the years. The best ones were probably MEXS 2 and Mxgp 2021, since then it's just a downfall. Yes, this looks obviously way better than MXGP24 (not really hard), still impossible to get back to these mechanics and actually enjoy them. I don't know a single person that puts more than maybe 15-20 hours into those games.

I do understand that not everyone is on PC, I really hope MTG succeeds so the console players actually get a proper game in the future. 

This version at least looks like a step up from the previous ones like you said. But excited? No.

100% accurate. Plus add in the modding communities for Bikes and Sim and it’s a radically better experience. 

But my nephew, for example, loves loves loves the MXGP games. A roommate from college, who has never ridden a dirt bike before in his life, got hooked on them and still plays them to this day. So there is a market out there.

I mean. As someone who plays Supercross 6 online competitively, I am excited for this from the looks of it. Supercross 25 was garbage. And Honestly, I really dont have the time to put in to MXBikes. I bought it, and idk man. I guess I thought I was serious but I am not lol. I am ranked 106 online in Supercross 6.

100% MX Bikes and MX Sim are the real standard for current moto games. If you’ve got a PC, just play those: endless mods for gear and bikes, updated and free tracks. These yearly‑released milestone moto games should honestly be twenty bucks. They all feel half-finished like the physics are always off, the bikes and gear are limited, and the tracks have no alternate lines or real rhythms, so everything gets stale pretty fast. The only genuinely cool part is the career mode, custom helmets and signing with a team.
