Both Ralph and Jeff have voice overs in this new game which is really cool. It was just Ralph in the first one. I spoke with Jeff about it and he was pretty stoked on the opportunity.
Unfortunately we were not aloud to take video footage of the game, only still pictures. The game is still a work in process.
Here's a teaser picture of the video i got of Ralph, Jeff, and Justin.
Despite what some others say, I think it is a lot of elements needed to make a great SX/MX game. It is not just physics unless you just intend on ghost racing the whole time. Good physics, gameplay, AI, detailed and intuitive control, correct speed and scaling, good audio and visuals, immersive single player season modes, good online multi player action, good licensing and authentic tracks, bikes, riders, gear...it is 2018...no need for fake bike names and fantasy tracks. Just a lot of different facets that make up a great overall game.
Great pic of the boys with JB51.

Is it enough of an improvement to buy another game? Well, improved/refined gameplay and AI, new tracks, gear, official bikes, riders, Compound, weekly challenges, enhanced track editor, better story/career mode, audio/visual enhancements. And a full, complete game experience with not much DLC needed. Yes, I think, easily so.
But also consider this. It was 1999 and 2000 with EA Supercross 2000 and it's sequel EA Supercross that we actually got a fully licensed game for our sport like all the other sports have. 17 years.17! To continue to get these yearly or semi routinely released MX/SX titles we MUST support the companies so they make money. It's $60, guys. If you ride, you spend that in a day. A game will last you a year. Or more. Support a company like Milestone who actually had the balls to step up and get the Supercross licensing and take the time to do photogrammatry for the first time in our sport in gaming. And to replicate EVERYTHING 1 to 1. That takes dedication, time and money.
The same can be said about Rainbow. You all know I don't like their franchise nearly as much but still. I hated Encore but I still bought all the SX replicas because I appreciated them finally doing replicas. I try to buy most of what they release even though honestly I don't enjoy the game much as it's just ghost racing and spinning laps, for me. I don't buy everything but I give credit where it's due and if it looks lame I'll just pass. But I try to support in some capacity even if they drive me mad with decisions like wide ass Slash SX.
Point being, before Milestone got into the sport with MUD, we had nothing because Alive had been shut down. Now we are fortunate enough to have 3 ongoing solid MX/SX franchises. MXGP/Monster Energy Supercross for the more simcade/authenticity fans and All Out for the more fun/arcadey fans. Let's show them we're there for them so they'll continue to be there for us.
This new MES game should be really good. For all the longer that Milestone has been making these games they’ve figured out a lot quickly. An in depth authentic career is so important and something that Milestone has made an important aspect of the game where Rainbow has neglected game after game. This is an area that Milestone has raised the bar big time. I hope it’s an area that’s taken seriously in all future MX games by both companies.
At some point it would be nice if race commentary made its way into one of these games. It’s hard to believe it’s been 18 years and nobody’s done it since EA. I would think with this game it’s more likely since they try and give a much more authentic feel.
Definitely a good time for MX gamers for sure. We used to go years waiting for a new game.
can't wait!!!

And for those who complain about it being a “copy paste” of the first one, that’s how all sports games are, right? I don’t play Madden, but they can’t be changed drastically year to year right? Can’t wait for this one!!
Don't get me wrong, MXGP Pro is a good game, I think it's the best MX we have. But it's a good game with far too many bugs. Its hard to enjoy when your flow is constantly cut short by these bugs. I can't get excited for MESX2 because I can't help but think its going to be a glitch filled, buggy mess.
I put in MESX the other day, download some custom tracks and was actually very surprised in my opinion how much better that game "felt". Pro seems like your controlling a bike with jet ski physics, never really feel connected. Pro physics simply feels like zero traction. I forget the name of that one track that is whooped out rough, they got that right. But the tracks that are smooth like Qatar, eh...

I really like MXGP 3 and Supercross. I don’t have as much time on Pro but I will say the physics feel like a step back and maybe that is why I don’t play it as much as the other two games.
1. ruts and bumps make us change lines by track breaking down.
2.traction like phoenix most tracks are ice
3.load times-also don't show medals etc. make it where you can go find it if wanted. most don't care.
4.crashes should be a greater penalty, ive crashed and taken the lead in the same lap lol.. maybe dnf for big ones.
5.no more dumb slow ai (see crashing above)
6.1st turn lag with more explosive start. its too casual.
honorable mentions-- deeper sounds from bikes. 450 has way more bottom torque than you give it credit.
ability to look back at season.race by race- fast lap.laps led,pole-heats etc.
on pro it should take a perfect race to win let some of us run your ai times and lines.
For the Xbox guys, I made a MEC replica on the original MES game. Track name is called MEC2019 made by gamertag Death2alln00bz. I didn't find any that were close to accurate. Mine isn't the best as I don't normally make tracks on this game. I'll try to update throughout the day to make it flow better. Enjoy watching the cup today and happy gaming.
There could also be a simulation option where you would pick the gate lineup (racers past and present) and watch the race unfold through multiple camera angles. A "create your own dream race" type of thing.
I wish Pegi 3 would make a motocross version of Dirt Rally. A GNCC style game would be so damn fun.
On Xbox its just the create lobby that is in different language poor Sony guys
