New MX vs ATV Game from THQ...

[yzaddict106]

Found this on another board. Didn't know if anyone has heard about it. Looks like a new game next year and 2012. Wonder what system that'll be on?

Hopefully they wont suck. Cool that atleast theyre doing one

It's probably gonna be on XBOX 360 and PS3 for sure, don't know about others though. So far I have heard it looks good, but plays bad. They make you control the rider with the right joystick to shift his body weight, like when you turn for example. Sounds good right? Well it's probably why it doesn't play very good...it's already hard enough when you only have 1 joystick to worry about in order to control your bike, so adding another thing to do might just be too much.
I haven't played the game yet, so I can't tell for sure. Although I am pretty sure that I might enjoy the new controls, I'm also pretty sure that 90% of the other players won't...sounds too hardcore!

Crazy, so the left joy stick would control the bike and the right the body? Sounds like a lot of work, could be fun though.

I think it'd be cool over jumps to work whips and stuff, but I feel like it would take too much mental effort in corners and stuff.

you never know, it might be sick!!! or itll be a gayer version of untamed

That dual thing sounds awesome......
I shouldn't be too much for most MXers after they got used to it. Anyone who has played MX sim for any length of time tried playing MVA after? It's just toooo easy, i need more for my brain to think about. MX sim has clutch, front and back independant brakes, body position, gas modulation, gears and keeping traction. Anything less than that each corner is too easy now.

This is looking much better then previous games

graphics look good, but the mechanics sound debatable. Hope it feels intuitive.

Looks legit. I will buy it. But the dual control will do one of two things. One it will be amazing and work perfectly. Or two it will crash and burn to the ground. I give Rainbow some credit for realizing their last game was garbage so they went to the drawing board.

RBW Triton said they redid the WHOLE game from scratch.. and isnt anything like untamed.. (err he said it is NOT a updated untamed)

its the same every release. "game looks better than the last one" then it turns to a flop.
The rider flex saving thing probly has a flaw where you can land some of the most stupid ****, the "move the rider and the bike" probably works in the opposite of what it would in real life (same as their ****house suspension modding in untamed) and just turns to **** anyway.
It's all fake hype to **** that's all been done half assed to get it out for christmas. Sounds good on paper to sell the units, just to suck you in for the next release "maybe they'll do better in the next game"...

optimistic then?

[devindavis410]

tobz knows what he's talking about

but i hope mva reflex is good

[O'Brien#12]

yeah i know still he made all that from a 30 sec clip....anyway it was meant to be a sarcastic joke.

I know, probably a bit pre-mature for all this. But really, people creamed themselves over something like this for the last couple of games, it's a bit naive to think that thq have all of a sudden got their sh*t together and somehow made an excellent mx game. From the video it just seems like the same ol', but we shall see, fingers crossed!

[O'Brien#12]

I knew that was what you meant anyway mate.....Just Devin not getting the sarcastic twist to the previous comment.I happen to agree, i bought into the hype of the last game! Once bitten twice shy!!!

Well, the second to last game (MX Vs ATV Unleashed) was ****ing awesome. Still play that game. The next one, Untamed, was too ****ty to waste my money on.

You would think Rainbow would also add a feature where you can change from the new relex mode to standard controls. The if people don't like the new style they are SOL.

Ronron. Do you not work with Rainbow at all anymore?

[yzaddict106]

I don't care if the game is an ounce better then the last one as far as physics go. Just PLEASE give us more riders on the gate, track deterioration, and DLC!

[stevnso117]

I agree. To me the absolutely most important thing is downloadable content. Another thing I don't understand is why the developers say that real tracks don't work in games. Thats all I ever like to play in MCM & MX VS ATV Unleashed is SX Replica's. With a little tweaking they are awesome and just look at which tracks get the most downloads. Its the real track by far. I just don't get it. Even when THQ was the Titlle sponser for SX we still didn't get real tracks. Its stupid!
