Posting the screenshots, Microsoft Studios' XBLA website PlayXBLA said the name of the game was a secret to be revealed during its press conference at E3 next week. But the name of the image files - AMX_Mystery_1 and AMX_Mystery_2 - give the game away somewhat.

lol

Yay! Hopefully its good. Loved this way back when on the PC.

[Rapstah]

Yay! Hopefully its good. Loved this way back when on the PC.

Looks more like Trials than those based on the second picture.

 

[VOOK]

This is not Monster Truck Madness.

 

[SmokyDave]

I hope they're dipping their toes in the water to prepare the market for a proper Motocross Madness. Or Monster Truck Madness. Hell, Midtown Madness. Just get more madness out there.

 

[V_Ben]

Not like this... not like this. If it plays well, i'm in though. LOVED the original.

 

[Live Free or Die]

I didn't ask for this. :-/

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Finally some games for the core! (lol)

 

[Criminal Upper]

 

[Backfoggen]

They better not do this shit to Monster Truck Madness.

 

[TheMan]

i played the demo for motocross madness so many times...used to repeatedly hit the edge of the level so that i'd be catapulted backwards

i wonder how it would hold up today

 

[S1kkZ]

we already had a thread for this. its done by rainbow studios (atv offroad games)

 

[twinturbo2]

I think Activision has the Monster Jam license, no?

 

[Sinatar]

Can I drive off the boundary of the track and get launched 100 miles into the air? If not then this fails miserably.

 

[Dynoro]

I loved Motocross Madness back in the day - hopefully it plays more akin to that than just an avatar party game.

 

[Backfoggen]

99% of my play time in Motocross Madness was spent doing just that. Didn't that game also have weird proto-ragdoll physics?

I thought THQ closed them after Deadly Creatures.

 

[V_Ben]

I thought THQ closed them after Deadly Creatures.

Not before they renamed them "THQ Digital Studios". Then they closed them. Perhaps they've reformed as independent again...

 

[jet1911]

Motocross Madness... So good. I hope it's at least as good as the old games.

 

[jaypah]

Hell yes to driving on the scaffolding around the pyramid. I'll keep an eye on this and be cautiously optimistic. No reason why it HAS to be easy-mode just because it uses avatars.

 

[infinityBCRT]

"Big Foot is doing it in the air!"

 

[bodyboarder]

"Big Foot is doing it in the air!"

Good times.

 

[Elixist]

The Rainbow guys huh? Screens look decent enough hope its good.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Man, I would KILL for a Midtown Madness 4.

 

[Jucksalbe]

When will Microsoft finally drop those ugly Avatars? Please don't put them in games.

 

[Raide]

If they keep the same controls, this should be a great laugh. I don't mind the avatar stuff, since it was the bike handling that made it fun. Hopefully they have loads of MP stuff too.

 

[Tuck]

I thought this was a game about the movie...

Or better yet... a game about the show =D.

Or a game about the second show!

Too many Avatars!

 

[Gowans]

Hope this is by the same guys who just put out JoyRide Turbo on XBLA, that game is awesome.

Loved Motorcross Madness, even tho is just ride and ride till I got to the edge of world steep cliffs and try to get up them.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Please be good. Please. Needs Sidewinder Freestyle support.

 

[opticalmace]

I think I still have one of these in a drawer.

 

[Neuromancer]

Color me interested.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I think I still have one of these in a drawer.

Me too

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Where was it revealed that Rainbow is working on it? Surely its just a bunch of ex rainbow guys, right?

 

[feel]

Holy wow!! Motocross Madness games were the shit! :O

 

[Shard]

Okay, was not exacting any of the Madness titles to be revived, but at this point it is refreshing to see any non Forza Microsoft racer.

There was one release last week on XBLA. LOL.

If they do PGR with the avatars....

Spoiler

ugh

The MX Madness games were amazing. Truly one of my favourite '90s PC games. I spent hours and hours just messing around on the stunt quarries, seeing what I could come up with and seeing what was possible. The freedom and potential to create your own lines, gaps and transfers was wonderful.

I really hope Microsoft realize this and don't stray too far from the originals.

Have you tried MX vs ATV Alive?

 

[Chip N Chance]

Back in the day i was part of the Motocross Madness 1/2 track making and rider skins community. Truly one of my favorite games of all time, and is the reason i bought a new PC. lol Its so sad to see it come to this. I just hope its still a physics based, free movement motocross game, and not a 2D racer like Trials and Joe danger. To early to tell from just two screens.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

I didn't ask for this. :-/

You wished for it?

 

[Neuromancer]

Hope there are a bunch of awesome free ride tracks. That was always the most fun part of these games for me.

 

[Data West]

So with Avatar clothing, this can be the Xbox version of Mario Kart, right?

That would be Joyride Turbo which just came out last week.

 

[Haunted]

Looke like Joyride with Motocross bikes to me. Here's hoping there's more to it than that (and no Kinect!).

 

[AndyMoogle]

I don't give a fuck that you have to play as your avatar, as long as it still plays like the old games.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Man, I would KILL for a Midtown Madness 4.

Lets you an me assassinate the president together. blood bros.

 

[spanks]

I'm just happy MS hasn't forgot the franchise.

Spoiler

Please be good

 

[Satchel]

I wonder if this will be different enough from Trials to warrant a purchase.

I love Motorcross games.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"I wonder if this will be different enough from Trials to warrant a purchase.

If it's a true "Motocross Madness" game, it won't be anything even remotely like Trials. At all. Like it won't be a 2.5D sidescrolling affair. Completely different.
