Oh good lord. I can't imagine how real MXS would be in 3D!

I think the transmission should be handled fairly simply. As far as shifting under throttle, it's all about the torque load on the gear dogs. Simply have MXS figure out what the load is (surely the game is already doing torque calculations constantly) and at a certain load, simply stop the bike from...

I agree about needing a preview thing. When I'm looking at a list of 1800 rider skins, it gets really annoying to have to go into the game to check it out, and even then I can only really see the rider's back. Practically every game in existence with multiple skins has this kind of thing, it's just ...

Damn, looks like I wasn't the first one to make the Mr. T connection.

It'd be hilarious to see a Dukes of Hazzard style Charger sitting at the gate.

Well, find someone to model it for you and you'll be off to the races. Probably won't ride like a trials bike, because I don't think we have the power to change engine characteristics yet, but it'd look like one.

Depends on the rider and the track, as well. Two-strokes have different handling characteristics (obviously) and so favor different lines, different types of corners, different surfaces, etc. This means that from track-to-track, day-to-day, and even from hour-to-hour the advantage can swing between ...

So hold on, if that line about displacement were true, it would have to take RPM into account, if you ever want to say that two-strokes fire twice for every single firing of the four-stroke. We know that's not true, because the four-strokes are revving to 12,000 or more and the two-strokes generally...

Obviously, we all think that $40 is a great deal for MXS. If we didn't, we wouldn't have bought it. I think that MXS in particular is a game that you're either going to love and think $40 is absolutely worth it, or it's a game you'll hate passionately and would pay money to keep off your system. The...

Let's think about this for a second, and do a thought experiment. Imagine that someone invests their time and effort and creates a game, okay. However, zero people buy the game, which obviously isn't enough to make a return on the investment. Let's look at two different scenarios where this could ha...

I do think you should be allowed to back up a bit, though not two bike lengths. I saw an old Wide World of Sports video of a Carlsbad Grand Prix where the two main contenders for the world motocross championship had both backed up one bike length from the gate. And they both mis-judged when the gate...

I think Trials would be almost impossible in MXS. I've done a bit of slow riding in real life, but of course nothing even remotely close to trials. And I thought to myself, "Jesus, this would be completely impossible in the game. Whenever I get this slow in MXS, the bike wobbles back and forth on fu...

Everyone always assumes that people pirate software instead of buying it. Has anyone considered the possibility that pirates download software illegally, as an alternative to simply not having it at all? If someone thinks that price X is too much to pay for product Y, particularly if they are unsure...

You guys are forgetting something. What about the 450 two strokes? I get that 250 and 450F run in the same class, but it's still silly to talk about which one is faster. It's like someone saying, "I bet you my 427 Camaro is faster than your 340 Challenger!" Well yeah, it's going to be. Only an idiot...

Man, ol' Duke had some good ones.
