I didnt like MXU either but I loved MX vs ATV Unleashed, seemed like the AI was much better and the bike seemed to handel better too.

On mxu it didnt take skill to play, if someone sat their for 1 whole year playing the game dailey and then got his mate over who has never played the game and raced each other, the guy who hasnt played before still has a chance of winning. It just wasnt a good game, in lap differences it was millasecond differece or 1 second, on mcm2 with the huge pre load and many many lines you can take, you can beet a noob a good 30 seconds on lap times. Thats what i like about mcm2.

Oh and if MvsA comes to msn zone i wont be playing the game. I have had it with msn zone i only plau mcm2 offline or here on tdzone with my cousin lol.

LOL...Nobody is "panting" themselves on the back Mike. Just excited that everyone finally knows the big secret and that we're finally getting what we've been asking for.

There were some very appreciable differences between MXU and MX vs ATV Unleashed. The physics engine got a mild revamp and it's evident from playing it for any length of time. The bike isn't as "floaty" anymore and you can save a bad landing by landing hard on the rear tire with the throttle pinned. You can also scrub speed by tapping the rear tire on the lip of the lander like in real life.

No chance of it being on MSN Zone...why? Because MICROSOFT owns it and only MS games get on there! 

What will be the minimum requirements to play this stuff on the pc ?

No idea...we'll have to wait and see. Chances are...if you can't play the newest hottest games on your pc now...the outlook isn't too promising for this one either.

Generally most new games require-

P3 1.5Ghz or above
256Mb of ram or above
up to 2Gigs of HD space
and a 64Mb graphics card or above

if you can't meet those specs...chances are pretty good that you aren't going to have a lot of fun with this game either.

Oh ok Paul, I was asking that cuz MCM2 is laggy here with my
P4 2ghz
Nvidia 256mb
512 ram
60gigs hd
...
But the other games looks very good here, only MCM2 is starting to be crappy.

MCM 2 should run fine with that setup.  What resolution are you running?  I ran MCM 2 fine on a PIII 550 with an old NVidia card.   I think you need to clean up your system.

It's written work fine on a console so it should be fine on a PC.  Remember the XBox is only something like a PIII 700.

Wow , just came accross this thread and looks good that its coming to PC . I doubt any game will replace what so many of us experienced in MCM1 & 2  but at least its something new to learn and maybe create new life into the racing community . Since TTM went down , that was a big enough blow to us for our offline / online tournaments so hopefully this will have a great anti-cheat program or at least something will be created to run it like the TD zone , TTM , msn zone , ect...
I'll wait for some decent reviews after /during the release before getting too excited

waaaaaaaa?

For one, I tihnk we'll be happy just to get a new game after six years.  All the old vets like me are getting excited again!  This will breath new life into our dedicated community.  I personally don't think Rainbow Studios will let us down, why? Because they can't afford to.  They've been hearing our crying for years, I'm sure they listened to some of it.


The key is for them to support the game after, and crush the bugs as they are found and not ignore them, like they did with MCM1 and 2!  If a stupid hacker finds a way to cheat online, Rainbow needs to fix it, quickly!  Otherwise we are back to square one.

Some of us have been around here since MCM1, and involved heavily...we've seen the way things were handled.  We just don't want the same crap happening all over again.

16th feb is release in germany as the onlineshops say...too long - much too long 
anyway good news!

Im feel both good and bad about this upcoming game release. Good that theres finaly something new coming, but bad because I will be spending way too much time sitting in front of this monitor!
It also sucks that its coming out before/during the summer. Thats lousy timing but hey its better then nothing.
I also hope that the editor is highly complex to use and will weed out the truly dedicated track makers from the sloppy slap together track makers.

This is so good i can not even say.. i just cant wait to see all the older guys come crawlin back begin for mercy lol left us thin wona come sneakin back in ok i understand.

Good point.

So much for my above post...

QuoteIGNPC: Players will actually be able to create their own tracks this time. What have you included in the editor to make the process easy and fun for those willing to put the time into creating custom tracks?

Rob Baumsteiger: Pretty much anyone will be able to pick up the track editor. It should be very easy to use, but the great thing is that the advance users will be able to export in textures and displacement maps.

Editor looks a bit like the Xpand Rally editor, except simpler.

really great news. Just hope the track editor is a real one not just a point and click effort but is great news all round

i so agree,  im really excited about this and if its a point and place editer im gunna be sooooo sad.  with 6 od years since the release of mcm2 editer im expecting something way state of the art and not a step backwards.  but lets just wait and see.

Ian.

I think everyone will like the editor. It has been made for beginners as well as advanced users like yourselves. A track can be made entirely in the editor, it can start in something like photoshop for displacements and textures, or a combination of the both. I really can't say much more than that at the moment.

beginners and advanced so is hard to say what level the editor will be with that comment. but totally understandable that not to much can be said so far

Check this out....  (PSP only)
