MX Simulator

Even MCM2 (motocross madness 2) released in may 2000 had better physics (remember the sx tracks made by guys like RXR_FORMULADIRT... he made them so you couldnt hold it wide open and you had to be really precise.. same with AUS_TWISTED's tracks!!)

The thing you have to remember in the "Sim vs other MX games" argument is that all the games with teams of developers are supposed to be for everyone. Therefore, they want the physics to not be so hard to learn that Joe Blow, plays one race, goes "Fuck this game sucks" and then asks for a refund. Sim is for the extreme fans, like us that have stuck around for years, who are willing to work past the learning curve. So, the "Sim vs other mx games" argument really sucks. It's kinda like comparing red apples to green apples. Yes, they're the same thing, but they're meant for different people, or rather one is meant for a wider array of people. It's a weird comparison but it makes sense if you think about it

Little off topic. So i just bought an XB1 this weekend and also preordered MVA. Anyone notice like a frame lag/fps drops? The menu and everything works perfect but when racing it feels like the game is stuttering. I am used to PC gaming on a high-end PC so the console is completely new to me.

So if you log on you might notice that everything has reset and youve lost everything lol

I do agree there are 2 different people who buy these games but they are still comparable since having a mix of mxsim and mxvsatv would be great. I think big developers have always catered to arcade physics for the simplicity of it though. Im just surprised they havent tried more realistic physics for the hardcore gamers. The graphics nowadays are great but gameplay is terrible. It just looks like youre floating around the track and on rails in the corner. They didnt have to make a simulator but make it more realistic. There are so many issues with mxvsatv physics, just not as smooth as you would think for a big dev.

I would really like to know what audience this is aimed at though and if it responds the way they think? Honestly, an MX game is already such a closed market and if a large enough portion would be a consistent buyer of the product that wanted a Sim-like game then why do they try to appeal to this "wider market". Is that market actually there and how much of it are they getting? I feel like Milestone is the closest to getting it right, they still have work but the target audience is the person who actually enjoys the sport. MVA is just throwing shit at the wall and hoping someone notices.

Console games don't usually lag, since it's made for a fixed set of specifications. However Halo MCC lags a bit in split screen, some game lags when a major landscape has to render quick, but usually in my 10 years of console gaming, it's pretty solid.

They have a patch coming out probably today to fix performance issues. They claim it wasn't already fixed because it's "early access" and bugs should be expected.

Why do you guys still buy their games in the first place? You know it'll be crap, you know you'll be dissapoined and you know you'll waste 50 bucks.
I'm usually all in for supporting motocross games that make it into the stores, but the MX vs. ATV crew obviously doesn't give a damn about us customers, so eff them. Monster Energy Supercross is a good example, that it's still possible to make a game, that us real life mx riders actually enjoy once we fade out, that it's not a simulator.

TRUTH! There isn't a market anymore for non-moto fans to pick up a moto game like there once was.

im having a blast with it .... I'd recommend getting a fully upgraded 4fatty before jumping to conclusions ...
