dwarf Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Looks cool, I've only played Motorstorm 1 a few times on another person's PS3 and thought it was pretty good and now thankfully they have added splitscreen! Looks cool, downloaded the trailers from the store and it looks great. (you like your trailers don't you retro )
Choze Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 Yeah the new trailers are fantastic. Cant wait for this. This fixes everything in the first game. Also online looks alot better, which was the big thing in the first game. More games should be splitscreen on PS3 like Warhawk! Wipeout HD also had splitscreen added.
Pit-Jr Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 When is this out? Could be my next purchase since i never got around to picking up the original
Owen Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 When is this out? Could be my next purchase since i never got around to picking up the original I believe this is out the beginning of October mate!
S.C.G Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Didn't like the original, played it for 5 mins (I don't care if I didn't "give it a chance") and that was enough for me to tell that it wasn't the kind of game for me, the sequel looks better though so hey who knows, I might pick it up if I ever see it cheap somewhere along the line but definitely not a "must have" for me.
Daft Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 My only worry is that the game isn't fast enough. From all the videos it looks a bit lethargic. I hope not because I really want this to be good.
LegoMan1031 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Didn't like the original, played it for 5 mins (I don't care if I didn't "give it a chance") and that was enough for me to tell that it wasn't the kind of game for me, the sequel looks better though so hey who knows, I might pick it up if I ever see it cheap somewhere along the line but definitely not a "must have" for me. Basically the same for me. I played it and didn't like it either. This second one does look more promising for me but i shall keep an open mind with this one...
Choze Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 The gameplay vids seem faster than MS1 in some cases. But i think it will be more fleshed out this time round than just repeat 6 tracks over and over again. Probably classes and stuff. Content wise this game is a huge step up which is my main issue with the original. the game mechanics are really fun and its great to add splitscreen as the original screamed it. Not really worried about this one as the developers are quite accomplished.
Choze Posted September 6, 2008 Author Posted September 6, 2008 Just an update. Next week some Euro PSN users will get the demo. No idea on criteria. So keep an eye on your email. According to Eurogamer anyway. Fantastic videos.

dwarf Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 I've been borrowing the game and the major flaw I think it has is that it isn't fast enough, you want to be able to boost as much as possible because when you don't it feels sluggish and CPUs overtake easily. Up until the last bars on the meter, boosting only seems like slight acceleration. More pace please!

More pace please! I thought the first was quite fast, especially on later tracks. Its really easy to make split second mistakes. Speed depends on vehicle and terrain though. My main issues were loading ad the fact that it was a launch game so it lacked content(like desert?). MotorStorm 2 fixes these issues. Online is really fun since the whole point is you crash or nudge other cars. Other games have people crying over crashing
Choze Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 Seems like Sony sent some codes. I have a spare code if anyone wants? I really enjoyed the demo. You really have to fight for your position. The track design is fantastic. It doesnt hsowcase the best effects or touches of Motorstorm but as a demo its fun.

Choze Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 Its really fun so dont worry. The Motorstorm 1 demo is similar but this track is more fun and deeper imo. You'll get the dmeo invite or get it before launch anyway. I came first only with bike so far. 2nd with truck. Hopeless at montertruck lol. Its quite fun and involving. The big problem i had with Pure was that it hardly felt like you were racing or fighting for your position.
Cookyman Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Nice! - the demo was awesome! Sony has just confirmed that MotorStorm: Pacific Rift will hit UK shops on November 7. That's a full week sooner than Sony has stipulated in its recently unleashed release schedule, which had Sony's other big first-party title, Resistance 2, penned in for November 28. Pacific Rift, as you should know, shifts the racing action to a more varied tropical island setting, and throws a new monster truck vehicle class into the mix.
Choze Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 Cant wait. The new media is really good. Kinda stuck on wipeout now for trophies(too hard). Played some GT5P last night and only got the Ferrari California left to unlock. The Citroen is godly.
khilafah Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 If anybody is interested. Edge scored this 7/10
Choze Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 If anybody is interested. Edge scored this 7/10 Its Edge, who cares. At the end of the day anyone who has played the first game knows what to expect in MS2. Its bonus they are fixing the issues and adding a ton more content. New gameplay video. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3632717/10010617 Shows a variety of enironments. Wet mud and water is there.
dwarf Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/921/921015p2.html Rated 8.3 Rated 8.8 by U.K Basically it has been rated lower because it lacks a bit of originality, but it is actually a much better game. 2 little things that are very good improvements from my perspective are that loading times are much quicker, and also the ticket system has been removed for more convenient navigation. I definetly won't be getting it this year but maybe sometime in the future. 16 tracks too, much better, although more still needed IMO.
Choze Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Sounds awesome. The orginality card is stupid in reviews. Seems to apply to some games and not others. Besides since when were games like MS common? There is no alternative to the franchise right now. 18 tracks is hell of alot. You can race them different times of day, mirror and backwards. Which means alot of combinations...
Choze Posted October 23, 2008 Author Posted October 23, 2008 Gametrailers review shows some great gameplay footage. Looks fantastic. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41871.html
Choze Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 Well i got it and i am really impressed! It looks amazing. Muhc improved form before. The demo badly undersells the game and arguably makes the game worse off. First of all so far its very easy. Been getting 1st to 3rd first time. Game seems huge though. Online is excellent. First racing game with a ranking system? Its much improved over Wipeout in that respect. Other teams should learn from this. Gameplay is great. Strongly recommended based on first impressions! This is coming off someone who sold off MotorStorm 1 fairly quickly. Will post some pics from the photo mode. Its got some of the best graphics ever. The transformation is huge. The demo track now has more shrubs and the textures are much sharper on scenery.
