I have to play MX vs ATV Supercross because the newer games in the series have moved on the PS4. I think Supercross is as good as the series has ever been, at least once you add the factory chassis and the rest.
With all the negatives seen lately about Encore, is it worth getting a PS4 to play Encore? Did they devolve the physics to be more like Alive?
It would be cool to play the 2017 Supercross tracks today but if the physics are janky, not interested. If they're as good as MX vs ATV Supercross, however, I am. Advise?

Ever since MXGP came out I've been out of the loop on MXvsATV though. I buy all the games and play them some just to support those guys but the MXGP games are miles ahead at this point. In my opinion MXGP2 is worth getting a PS4 for. Since the PS4 Pro is out now you can get a standard PS4 or PS4 Slim for under $300.
Untamed was the best ATV racing game ever made, the customization was amazing and being able to have parts from companies like Walsh and Baldwin added a huge cool factor. Plus it had tons of tracks both indoors and out.
Keep in mind I'm one of those wierdos that enjoys all forms of motocross no matter what people are riding.
Reflex was IMO the most technical. But it drew hate because you got taken out ALOT.
Alive had the best flow and some of the most difficult rhythms which made it a lot of fun.
Supercross and Encore missed the mark bigtime IMO
I will also sell my two week old, perfect condition MXGP2 for PS4 shipped anywhere in the 50 states for $20.
I don't mean to turn this into a MXGP thread. I just meant that whether you're interested in Encore or not, there is another moto game that is worth getting a PS4 to play.
Pit Row
They have ridiculous power/weight ratios and MXGP does a poor job of making the bike feel light. It feels 400lbs.
But to answer your question, I don't think it's worth buying a system for just one game. I did that years ago when I bought a PS3 for Gran Turismo and it was just a huge waste of money. Unless you're going to buy more games for it, I would stick with your PS3.
Or, if it's something you don't mind spending money on, you could build a gaming PC and then get the games slightly earlier than everyone else. Also, there's a pretty good mod for MXGP 2 that puts all of the AMA teams in it and alters the first person view so the speed looks better. And then you could try games like MX Bikes and MX Simulator. I know people like to bash games and say one sucks and the other is superior, but to me each one has it's own special place and thing I enjoy. And the more motocross games I have access to, the better.
I played unleashed on my ps2 the other day and it's still fun as hell, kind of miss when you could just jump on and play rather than having to figure out the physics of a game.
But Ye I have supercross encore and mxgp2 and honestly I was really disappointed with encore, it's crap compared to the rest of that series, the bike either won't turn or spins out and a dab of clutch gives bikes superpowers so they can fly 100ft of a jump with a 3ft run up. Mxgp2 has manual gearbox, independent front and rear brake and makes you really learn to ride the bike, you need to lean more front to back than left to right compared to mx vs atv and first person view helps a ton, get used to it and you'll love it!
hopefully one or both of these developers make a game that is a must play. for now encore is a decent winter fix.gravel sliding sound drives me crazy. feels like your on top of an ice rink. so many little issues they could fix thru a patch/update. world of tanks does this constantly. so much detail with adjustments for every tank. imagine all those settings,packages on a bike. actual user settings for terrain,track. its already being done just not on a mx bike. fingers crossed.
I'll take that MXGP2 off your hands.
