Shockingly, as a newcomer, you might find yourself being challenged by your computer-controlled competitors even with their AI set to Very Easy. There’s still room for improvement, but for the first entry on next-gen consoles, you won’t be disappointed.Ī final thought the difficulty of this year’s MXGP release seems to have been heightened at the lower end as well. Perhaps the biggest change, however, is just how many spectators there are at the side of each track, giving events much more atmosphere. The lighting is wonderfully realistic, the mud looks suitably messy, and character models are yet more human-like. We’re getting to the point now where racing games pretty much look real, and that’s very much the case with MXGP 2020. Even on low, however, it could make your accelerator finger hurt after a lengthy playing session.Īside from the gameplay and loading times, another area where MXGP 2020 is noticeably improved on PS5 is of course in the visual department. I had to turn the trigger feedback down to low after just one race because it felt like it was getting in the way of me actually enjoying the game. Rather than give you subtle feedback like the brilliant WRC 9 does, it simply bombards your hands and fingers with constant vibrations.
DualSense support has been implemented too, though it’s nothing to shout about. Thanks to the PS5’s SSD, loading times are dramatically reduced, leading to more time spent racing in any given gaming session. It’s probably a bug that can be ironed out, but I’d say that about one in every five races threw up a short period where slowdown would occur for no obvious reason.
The doubling of the framerate over previous console versions obviously plays a role in the improvements, though there are rare moments where 60fps can’t be maintained. Each and every race feels more authentic and enjoyable as a result. The bikes feel more responsive than ever, you have more control when in the air, and opponent AI has been noticeably improved.
#GAMESTOP MXGP 2020 SERIES#
Thankfully, improvements have been made where it really counts: MXGP 2020 is the best playing game in the series yet. In the long-term, it’s MXGP 2020‘s online multiplayer options that are likely to keep players going back for more, even if they are rather basic. A new Playground is included, too, but once again there isn’t a great deal to do in it unless creating your own checkpoint races excites you. Outside of the career there are the usual Time Attack, Grand Prix, and Championship offerings, as well as a Track Editor. Choose the latter and you can also customise your bike and rider gear as you see fit, making it a somewhat deeper and more enjoyable experience. Along the way, they can either race as part of a team, or go it alone, choosing sponsors to work with as a source of income. Career mode is the same barebones experience as it was last year, letting players make their way through an MX2 season before progressing to MXGP.
In terms of modes and features, MXGP 2020 throws up no surprises. And with 60fps and up to 4K support, the PS5 version of MXGP 2020 is no doubt the best there is.
#GAMESTOP MXGP 2020 UPGRADE#
Disappointingly, if you’ve already picked up the PS4 version of the game, it doesn’t seem like there will be a free upgrade path to this enhanced version should you be lucky enough to own a PS5 or are planning on picking one up further down the line.
#GAMESTOP MXGP 2020 PC#
Released on PS4, Xbox One and PC in December, the wait for the PS5 version of MXGP 2020 has been very short indeed. Though MXGP 2020 is the first to appear on a next-gen console.
