they could most likely get lots of support from bike parks like whistler or silverstar. The more funding possible, the more chance of the game actually being made
would need the backing of some big players i,e specialized/trek and the like as the last one just had tomacs bikes in it.
Umm no? DH domination Had giant, trek, specialized, Karpiel, tomac, and Foes.
Has anyone played the more realistic MTB game called MTB adrenaline on ps2? It SUCKS. So the game can't be too realistic. If you don't believe me, go play any racing game, especially DH domination with a top speed of 30-40 MPH. Boring.
And Also, to the OP. Skating has WAY more people into it than MTB. It's cheaper and takes less balls to do, so more people are able to do it.
I would love to have an MTB game, but I think the way to go about it would be to get some BIG names officially sign an e-mail petition and send that to the companies. Get specialized, foes, giant, trek, santa cruz, scott, ect. to sign an e-mail and have them state how much money they would pay to have their bikes/names feautured in the game. All you gotta do is dangle money in Mr. Fat-ass coporate mechanisms face, and they'll have the game out a month before christmas.
I don't think they could make a DH game but a slopestyle/DJ or a street game would be sweet and if it was like using the skate game engine or the likes it would be like the only game i would play
