MX VS. ATV LEGENDS PATCH

Only things didn’t improve much when patch 1.006 deployed in what we can only assume was a just-in-time deployment ahead of launch. We put it down to an unfortunate bug in pre-release code. The first time it happened, we innocently changed our vehicle from a motocross bike to an ATV. The lens flare is pretty enough, if not a little Michael Bay.Īs well as your ability to inexplicably wreck on the smallest of bobbles, you’ll likely face MX vs ATV Legends deciding enough is enough and booting you out altogether. If you’re lucky, you’ll have got to this point without a crash to the XMB. Not to mention the graphical fidelity wouldn’t look out of place two console generations ago. During the initial flyby before a race begins, the framerate visibly chugs. You see, the engine is almost as much of a car crash as the Bink Video implementation on display here. It saves having to script footage for an in-game engine cutscene we guess. For all we know, it could be canned video from a prior installment.

We don’t even know if the intro video depicts the game we’re playing. The only reason we can conceivably see for this codec to still be used is that the licencing fees are low. Only rather than on 320*240 videos on Dreamcast and PS2, we have single figure framerates on PS4/PS5. Remember the Dreamcast? That was when DVD was a new format and digital video was a miracle in any form. Nary a fanfare other than a short video to introduce matters. Literally hit start and choose the campaign from the menu. Then with an underwhelming shrug of sorts, you’ll be told to sorta get on with it. You’ll be left to it to explore, by doing so you’ll discover collectible nebulous spinning tokens floating in mid-air and in the middle of lakes, seemingly impossible to reach.

MX VS. ATV LEGENDS HOW TO

There’s more unskippable tutorial nonsense, admittedly introducing how to brace for jumps and stunts and the like. That is, familiar to anyone who’s ever played an MX vs ATV game before as we have. Perhaps that speaks of the lack of any particular licence, rather than this franchise hoping to get by on its prior games alone.Īfter an entirely unskippable and pernickety tutorial phase, broken down into an introduction to steering with the left stick and leaning with the right as well as clutch control, you’ll find yourself in a familiar looking hub area. Additionally, the lack of any presentation at all with regards to the career mode is a baffling thing. The bar has been raised by its competitors, namely the MXGP series with its focus on real world locations and riders.

Sadly for a series we’ve really enjoyed in the past, we’re a little baffled as to what’s gone wrong.

Though technically this should be MX vs ATV vs UTV Legends, but that’d be confusing to the average punter we guess. At least they’ve not gone down the Capcom route of stupid stuff like random strings of Greek alphabet letters. We guess that they’re running out of suffixes as we’re greeted by MX vs ATV Legends this time.
