Playable Rewind

Post by Prologue »

There are some games out there like Dirt2 or similar where there is a rewind so that if you make a mistake you can back it up and do the section over. I think something similar would be really useful for MXS (in practice mode only of course). There are lots of times, especially in SX, where I am trying to figure out how to best do a section but crash or do it wrongly and then have to wait 1-2 mins to get back into a similar situation (do another lap or whatever). It is kind of a time waster when you just need to work on one section.

This could be extended to playable demos (replays) as well. Watch a little bit, pause it and take over from that spot with the exact initial conditions.

Enable editor mode, go to time trial, set backing up aborts. Move the respawn time gate before a section you want to practice and everytime you crash, just hit backing up button.

That seems like it might be pain but I can try and see what happens. Also, it doesn't get you the same momentum/bike position etc. There are some places in a track where you need to go back like three sections in order to get into the correct speed/position. If you could start jumping through the air landing in the right place already it would save a lot of time.
