If I have to wait 20 minutes for the game to load between races like in MESX, MESX2 will get tossed in a drawer and forgotten.

So if that issue is fixed, I could care less about any other updates

Exactly.

Chances are the whole "press day" facade won't be much more than a selection of three poorly animated questions after a race that will have no meaningful outcome, you can also expect a generic rider area with a pc where you can check your e-mails for your basic sponsorship choices after winning races and ALSO, to check the super badass twitter feed that we all loved so much from the first game.

All sarcasm aside, the game looks the same as the first MES, with some GPPRO features dumped on top to give it a superficial fresh coat of paint look, nothing else.

We've been playing the same game for years now if you think about it.

It looks pretty good, way better than any of the previous gameplay videos from Milestone in their games. That is a very good sign in my opinion.

The gameplay itself to me at least doesn't look that much changed/improved

Realistic options for press day should include the following.
- AVOID: I stay in the motorhome and watch tv. I'm getting a massage and can't be bothered atm.
- ANNOYED: I answer with yes and no only. I fulfill my contract duties but don't give a damn as I got a plane to catch.
- IGNORE: I would like the thank my sponsors BIKE, TIRES, GEAR, GOGGLES, BOOTS, DEALERSHIP, BICYCLE COMPANY, TRAINER, PARENTS, FANS, HOMETOWN, PET, GIRLFRIEND.

Looks great! I'm not a big fan of the pop-ups or whatever saying "good" and adding points. You know when you did good/bad based on how fast you are going lol. Pretty pointless IMO, everything else looks awesome.

I played MXGP Pro and it took me a whileeee to get the hang of it because of how skatey it is but I got to where I could enjoy it at least . I hopped back on SX yesterday and I forgot how much I liked this game. The traction on this game compared to Pro is night and day difference. I hope SX2 doesn't follow the footsteps of Pro

I know I'm the MESX homer and I get the sarcasm but I do question how you can say we've been playing the same game for years when last year was the first year of Supercross for Milestone. Yeah, they have given us the MXGP games and, of course, it is built off the same engine but you can't fault them for that. Each game plays differently and with the exception of MXGP3 (which I didn't care for) they've all been a step forward for the most part with MESX being, to me, the best.

Plus it is a significant difference to be able to play on all the replica SX tracks on beautifully rendered replica stadiums and environments instead of the MXGP MX tracks plus the addition of the AMA riders/bikes/teams/etc. So I feel like to lump them together isn't fair. Yes, it is the same engine tweaked but MX to SX is night and day different. So to say we've been playing the same game for years is kinda odd to me. MESX came out February of this year.

I don't know. Maybe I am more of a fan of MX games than some. Spending $120 a year on 2 Milestone games and another $60 on Rainbow's game every 2-3 years (plus some DLC) is nothing to me. And I remember after THQ pulled the plug on Alive and before Milestone got in the game with MUD and then the insanely improved MXGP that we had ZERO as far as MX/SX games. It sucked. I gladly support both companies whether it is an overhaul or a fresh coat of paint and a yearly tune up with new tracks, skins, tweaks. I just feel like if I only buy the games when there are big changes that I'm not doing my part to support. And I want these games to prosper and continue. But to each his own, for sure.

This seems like a decent amount of new stuff especially given we just got a game earlier THIS year.

-New replica tracks w/photogrametry
-New replica bikes/skins/scans of riders/rosters
-Improved track editor
-Tweaked and improved physics (we are told)
-Improved AI
-Addition of Jeff Emig as color analyst and added commentary (still not full race commentary but more of it, I hear)
-New Agenda mode with added immersion of media modes
-New training compound
-Added camera customization (was told this by the team)
-Eli Tomac in game (and maybe no KR94). So that's a step back as I'm more a KROC fan. But don't blame Milestone, blame the riders/agents
-Addition of line prediction from the MotoGP series

Does it seem like the rider is a little “floaty” in mid air?

Overall looks fun. I’ll definitely buy it for sure . Can’t wait!

It looks like it's floaty just like MES1. Also notice how OJ'ing into the face of the next jump basically has no effect.

He definitely would've gone triple-quad-quad if he didn't OJ, but he instead went triple-quad-triple-single. I think it's pretty clear it had an effect.

Ah, but do we actually throw out the moves or do we just select a checkbox on what move the game shows? Maybe they are unlocks from playing the game. The fact that the game still cuts us off when crossing the lines makes me think the later and that would suck!

Better than what happens in the last game. I'd always try to whip accross the finish and I guess the controls don't work after the cutscene starts so he'd just keep tipping over on the side til he crashed lol.
