The look is similar to that of the MLB The Show series, in the fact the level of detail has always been there, but much of it could not be shown by the hardware - until now. The bikes themselves also have a level of detail that has always been there under the surface, but the detail has now been brought out by the powers of the new system. The riders, your own and those around you, look incredibly detailed. Although there is room for improvement as the series continues, the enhanced PS5 version has taken a rather substantial leap forward in the graphics department. Graphical EnhancementsĪs much as I have loved the effort from Milestone over the years with the MXGP series, one of my biggest gripes or complaints has always been the lack of graphical fidelity. It’s hard to describe the differences between this gen’s version versus last gen’s effort without having the actual controller in your hand, but the PS5 controller haptics and triggers draw you further into the game than ever before. On the track, I could also feel my opponents grinding up against me on turns or when racing down a straightaway, and track surfaces are brought to life with the usage of controller haptics. Not only did I feel the vibration of the world around me, but there were also nuances to each effect that made them feel individualistic. You can feel the engine vibration of the bike in the controllers as well as the terrain under the bike. I talk often about developers finding ways to bring the user into the world they have created, and the haptic feedback and adaptive controllers do just that. So, the adaptive triggers are a huge plus in my book, but the haptic feedback that is felt through the controller is equally as impressive. I can now control the speed and aggressiveness of my bike coming around a bend or rut, and it provides a much more controlled and consistent atmosphere, which in turn impacts my results and chance at success on the track.
If you have played any one of the many MX titles in the current Milestone library, then you have a full understanding of how important the feel of the throttle and brake is to your success, and the pressure-sensitive triggers take that feeling to another level. The press release from Milestone speaks of haptic feedback and adaptive controllers, and that’s all well and good, but how does that translate into the actual gameplay of MXGP 2020? For starters, unlike the last-gen version of MXGP 2020, you can feel the pressure of the throttle in the triggers, and it enhances the experience exactly how I was hoping it would. If you want a deeper review, head to my original write up here. Since I already did a full review of MXGP 2020 back in December, I am going to cover the differences between the two versions, rather than go over the whole game again. While I originally thought MXGP might go that route, this is a full-priced next-gen game whether you bought the PS4 version already or not.
That being said, usually these upgrades have come via a “free” upgrade on next-gen consoles. Still, you know what the haptic feedback can mean and what these changes overall can have on a game.
If you have followed the release of the PS5 and have been lucky enough to secure one, then these words may seem a bit benign and repetitive. PS5 DualSense support, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.On the PlayStation 5, we have specific features included here. So while this is an MXGP 2020 next-gen review, it’s more like a PS5 review. That’s right, the PS5 is the only system getting the enhanced version, but the Xbox Series X does upscale the previous-gen version of the game with enhanced graphics and faster load times and frame rate. While MXGP 2020 officially launched for the PC, Xbox One X, and PS4 on December 16 of last year, many eagerly awaited the release of the next-generation version slated for the PS5.
