Re: MX vs. ATV Alive Announced, Fact Sheet, Screenshots and Trailer
That trailer does absolutely nothing for anybody, but the screenshots look decent. Unfortunately Reflex suffered from some poor shading resolution and texturing.

Re: MX vs. ATV Alive Announced, Fact Sheet, Screenshots and Trailer
I'm really looking forward to this game. Reflex would have been almost perfect if not for the very poor collision detection and a few other issues. They have said that problem is going to be fixed in this game.
Not at all impressed with the trailer, but will reserve my judgement for when I see some game play footage. I've been playing Motocross games since Motocross Madness on the PC. I've been waiting for a realistic Motocross game. I hope they fixed the issues that plagued Reflex, if so this game could be what we motocross fans have been waiting for. We'll see. |

This sounds really cool, I like Reflex and the chance to race against a full heat of real people will be awesome.

Re: MX vs. ATV Alive Announced, Fact Sheet, Screenshots and Trailer
Doesn't seem too interesting. I haven't found out the point of hitting yet since you can pretty much go lateral and still stay on your bike. Hopefully this wasn't the only "big improvement" they've made.
