Monster Energy Supercross is an upcoming title from Milestone, giving motocross fans the chance to realistically (and digitally) race with the official riders from both 250SX and 450SX on the official tracks, getting you as close to the racing competition as you can get without strapping on a helmet. You can customize your rider and bike, choose from a plethora of stadiums, or even create your own track. There are over 300 items for you to tinker with to customize your bike and racer, and you can share your tracks online, in addition to mixing it up with racers around the world.
To get fans revved up for the February release, Milestone just dropped an exclusive, behind the scenes look at how they put together the visuals for their upcoming motocross racer. It's an interesting look at how developers get the life-like faces and textures for their games, with high tech equipment and the real racers' faces being digitally mapped and imported into the game. Milestone has 4 rules they use to make their games look as life-like as possible:
Rule 1 – “Get Real”: Innovative tracks and prestigious stadiums are authentically recreated using photogrammetry for maximum realism.
Rule 2 – “Face First”: If the tracks and stadiums are real, then the elite athletes must be real too: all riders’ faces are rendered using our 3D scanning system.
Rule 3 – “Building Heroes”: An authentic experience is made possible thanks to the realistic presentations of tracks, riders and podiums for a truly immersive Supercross experience.
Rule 4 – “Be There”: Advanced techniques, combined with a dynamic 3D menu and astonishing artistic polish, make the gamer feel like a real Monster Energy Supercross champion who is ready to “Enter The Arena.”
Monster Energy Supercross will be available on February 13th for PlayStation4, Xbox One, and Steam, and the release date for the upcoming Switch launch is expected to be announced shortly.
