![]() It's politics, but they had the connection with Feld but failed to make it happen, no pun intended. But not getting the SX license and saying it couldn't be done and then Milestone doing it ALL right.well, that just really makes MVA look like they didn't try very hard. But that was still cool they got the replicas. Well, I would obviously put Reflex and Alive as being far superior games. Unfortunately, it was on their worst game in years. Sure, they did do the replica track DLC which was cool. But it just seems, as I said, that they have their own agenda. And the guy is super cool and totally professional. He knew I wouldn't be happy with what they released with Supercross but they felt that was the way to go. I have shared my concerns, my desires to get the full license, etc. I still speak with him quite frequently, even as recent as when All Out was announced. I had worked previously a bit in the gaming industry with Treyarch on NHL2K2 and NHL2K3 in a more specific capacity so gaming is a passion of mine and especially MX gaming. Vital and Racer X were first on list as well as Pulp. They had the gaming contacts but didn't have the MX contacts. I sent him pages of ideas early on as well as MX contacts to reach out to and to contact when the game was first being announced (MVA Supercross). I reached out to him to thank him for buying MVA and asked how I could help and it went from there. This was days after acquiring the franchise. Some, like Chris and Elliot, had other things they were committed to and thus didn't come on board. This was all, obviously, way before they got the team together. I actually, with the individual's permission, gave the higher up at Nordic several of the emails of the old Rainbow team so he could contact them to ask if interested in getting back together to re-start the MVA franchise. I've probably conversed in a hundred emails or more with one of the higher ups at Nordic since the actual week they acquired the THQ IP and MVA franchise. And I don't just mean posting on forums, which hey, is VERY important. And I have tried quite a bit to help that particular franchise. And though I don't play Encore, I have spent plenty of money on the game and supported them to the fullest financially. But with that being said, I want all MX games to be good. I've always been let down by MVA's lack of authenticity and lack of desire to replicate the sport as an official licensed series, authentically. I mean, this is a no brainer especially to someone like myself who loves commentary (or at least pre/post race commentary.something I have suggested to MVA for years) and has wanted it back in since we last had it with Art and David in EA Supercross and EA Supercross 2000.Īnd before someone calls me out as being a complete Milestone fanboy.which with the announcement of Monster Energy Supercross I guess I am now.let me share something with you. Let's see, one company pushes music first when everyone wants to see some game play and the other releases game play plus focuses on 100% authenticity of the sport and has the official voice of Monster Energy Supercross in their game as their focal point for sound. ![]() But to me, I'm like saying wtf are they doing right now? It just comes across almost like they are doing everything BUT what the fans want. I don't agree with it at all or a lot of what this team does but hey, if you believe in what you are doing there is nothing wrong with sticking to your guns. It makes very little sense to follow up what is probably the best announcement of a SX game ever with.this. MVA have their own agenda and they are pretty much going to do what they want to do.
