Looks like Rainbow will be releasing another console MX game this holiday season. It looks like it will have some cool new features including dual stick control for a "independently controlled rider" and "real-time terrain deformation".

I know what your talking about Laurie , maybe thats right and i think you're right beacuse if it was me i wouldn't give up years of hard work but i really hope someday see your hard work on MXS Community. Good luck on your project dude
bulldog, i just heard about this today, and searched about it, and came straight here.. looks like it could be a great game, but the no pc deal is killing me..
I bought untamed for ps3, done 2 laps and put it away in storage... :( i hope this one can keep me entertained a bit longer.. and i hope for a good supercross type season mode in this also..
fingers crossed its been rebuilt for the better.
Ryann,
From what I seen and heard, Reflex is very promising. A lot more promising than Untamed ever was in any case.
As Ryann said, Untamed was good fun for like a month, maybe two, and just gets boring. There wasn't really a challenge factor in Untamed. They said it would have a steep learning curve. But for most vets around here, including myself, coming from MCM1 and following the whole MX game industry.. Untamed was a piece of cake to master. Just too arcade and too stiff.
Reflex looks a lot more dynamic and challenging. Seeing you have to control both your bike and your rider! I'm looking forward to giving this system a shot.
I do have to admit though that I was kind of annoyed by the following they implemented: When you make a hard impact and you are going to crash. A arrow appears pointing in a direction. If you lean into this direction fast enough you'll save yourself from crashing. I'm not sure how this is going to work. But I can see this being easily abused.

Ryann,
Good to see you're still around and checking in here.
I'm still not a console gaming guy.....I still prefer the PC. But I guess the consoles aren't going anywhere any time soon so I'll have to deal with that reality.
Hopefully in Reflex they will have some way to make custom tracks on a PC and transfer them to the console for download by others. I doubt it though because then there would be no reason for them to release a new game every year. ::)

Hey guys, long time since I have been on here. but it seems everyone comes back at some point. I am pretty pumped about Reflex, something that interest me was in an interview ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYWgVC_fgGQ ) he says he wants to bring back the mcm online community. how do you guys think they will accomplish this? here is what i am hoping for.
-weekly races
-Team support
-track editor armadillo 360 ha never
-a good ranking system with ranked matches
who knows. but anyways hope all is well.

I to came here to see what folks are thinking for this game. We need a PC version so bad, but I don't see one in the future for us. I think reflex will be another disappointment. I think their trying to copy Motorstorm, may be a fun game for a couple months, but that's all I'm expecting. :-\
