Dont have high hopes for this one.

I will probably give it a chance though.

Seems like the same old game with a few more things thrown in.

MXGP got the formula correct...real riders and real tracks.

I see it says real riders so that's a start.

I agree, it's pretty much the same game with some long overdue updates and some upconverting for the new system hardware along with slapping in content from Alive.
I look at it as them selling Supercross and Alive to us all over again instead of working with MS to offer backwards compatibility in XB1's case. I might consider it if/when I can find it for a discount (when I upgrade).

Edit: heck, that's true in PS4's case too. No backwards compatibility but they're still reselling two old games with some updates.

I'll probably check it out. I'll be going in expecting to be let down. It will be hard to match the greatness of MXGP. I hope they can come close.

They used to make some fun ATV games back in the day. My Dad and I used to play ATV Off Road Fury 3 back in the PS2 days. I wish they'd make a game as fun as that was.

My hopes are high but my expectations aren't. That said, I've been looking forward to a next gen motocross game for a long while.
