MXGP Pro Announced
Milan, Italy - April 9, in the year of our Lord 2018
– Milestone is proud to announce MXGP PRO, and it will
be available summer 2018 for PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and
Windows PC®/STEAM.
MXGP PRO is a brand-new game, designed to satisfy even the most
passionate fans who want to live the Motocross experience. Based
on community feedback, the title has been revamped using a new
method called the “mechanical approach.” Players will be able to
customize nearly every aspect of their bike, based on real
values and metrics.
The crucial knowledge gained from previous titles in the MXGP
franchise has led to this new experience, which enhances racing
by refining gameplay. This is what PRO is supposed to mean, a
videogame with a new soul and it will feature:
A new Bike Set-Up system, which enables players to customize
nearly every aspect of their bike, based on real values and
metrics;
A unique physics approach, which grants the player limitless
movements with a reworked system of grips, collisions, and in
air behaviors;
Even more realistic rider movements, integrated with the bike
and affected by the bike’s impact on different terrains.
To make the game experience even more authentic, Milestone
signed an exclusive partnership with Tim Gajser, Tony Cairoli,
and Gautier Paulin. Thanks to their feedback, MXGP Pro is going
to feature a new level of realism. Tim Gajser explained how to
have fun whipping, scrubbing, and passing through whoops
sections. Tony Cairoli provided his feedback on Start & Braking
Precision, including how to take advantage of the Starting Grid
and time your brakes. Finally, Gautier Paulin explained how to
control the ruts and take corners at top speeds.
“This year we have been able to completely redefine the physics
and the entire gameplay experience of MXGP,” said Luca
Simonotti, Lead Designer at Milestone. “We started from the
analysis of suspension, we compared the pressure with fork
extensions as well as single shock-absorbers using the same
values of official MXGP athletes’ bikes; the same process has
been done with the ECU mapping. Moreover, thanks to the
exclusive partnership with official MXGP riders Tim Gajser, Tony
Cairoli, and Gautier Paulin we have been able to receive
qualitative feedbacks on areas of improvements towards the whole
development process. It has been a unique experience for us to
be on track with them and we are proud of the results achieved.”
After securing the most powerful bike aligned with their riding
style, all players will have access to a never-before seen tool
that will help them conquer any circuit in any weather
condition. This is why The Compound in MXGP Pro becomes an
essential practice area. From flat terrains to the most
challenging ones, The Compound is a free space to train and
develop your driving skills.
