But they were reset a good four bike lengths ahead of the pack. On one circuit, a rival stepped over the inside of the track limits at the first corner, resulting in a reset. Generally, they find it hard to deal with you on track, often pushing you along from behind or landing on your head as if you aren’t supposed to be there.Īdding to the frustration are odd little errors. I mean, so are real-life competitors so I don’t mind them making mistakes, but online I had one riding complete off track and then flying back on in the middle of a corner. On the other hand, you can walk a victory on occasion. Even on ‘Very Easy’, newcomers will struggle.Īt tracks such as Oakland-Alameda Coliseum on a 250, there’s a section where try as I might, I simply could not find the right rhythm to reach a jump in the way the computer-controlled field could. You really have to work for most victories. On the one hand, you end up being in closely fought battle packs, with plenty of fender-rubbing to keep you on your toes. I’ve played many a Milestone motocross game, but none has had quite so aggressive and fast rivals. Imagine being a rookie and putting the difficulty level to medium or hard straight away and that’s what it feels like. There are no two ways about it, your opponents are vastly quicker than in Supercross 1, 2 or 3.

This is made all the more relieving due to the odd behaviour of the AI.

Witnessing your custom character after a few races and choice upgrades finally reaching the podium is a real moment. Not only that, you get an authentic atmosphere, with pre and post-race fireworks, a vocal crowd and impressive podium ceremonies. I feel like in real life there’s at least a chance to move to a backmarker 450 team for that performance, but alas, I had to repeat the year like someone who failed their A-Levels.īeing an official game of a championship means you have all the tracks from a real-life season, including one based at the legendary Daytona circuit in Florida.

It is mildly frustrating, however, that in order to progress into the ‘Pro’ category I was required to reach a top-three placement in the ‘Rookie’ season – I finished sixth in the standings plus won a few races. The combination of motorcycle and rider upgrades, optional events in-between the main races and the new tiers make for a refreshing change that reduces the interminable feeling of previous career modes. You gain skill points by completing challenges within your journal, such as lading 50 scrubs or overtaking a number of opponents. There’s an in-depth skill tree where you can use skill points to level up abilities such as braking performance, handling prowess and whip speed.

That doesn’t make sense.Īlongside equipment changes, you can also upgrade yourself like some sort of cyborg. Makes sense, but strangely if you pick an established outfit you cannot purchase performance upgrades. The amount you can change the design of your vehicle depends if you select to ride for an existing team or chose to ride for your own setup with a sponsor. You spend credits to do this, earnt by doing well in races but also by completing supplementary training and extra events too, held between championship rounds. You start off with a few races in the ‘Futures’ category, before progressing into ‘Rookie’ which consists of the regular 250 East or West championships and finally ‘Pro’, which is the main 450 class against all the official riders and teams.Īlong the way, you can purchase performance upgrades and cosmetic items for your bike. Allow me to explain…Īlongside the sleek menu aesthetic, a new feature for Supercross 4 is a refreshed career structure. Worse, playing the game in 4K, HDR and 60fps simply highlights the need for a revolution instead of steady evolution. The end result is a game that promised some steps forward over its predecessor – and in some ways, it is – but feels a backwards step when it comes to the all-important on-track action.

That must have been an intense last few months for the team. Supercross 4 is also available for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Google Stadia too. I can’t imagine the stresses and strains involved to release one game across multiple platforms, never mind three in short succession.
