Also, the online part needs major overhaul. Aaannd, I really don’t mind if the tracks and vehicles are loaded onto the HDD if it means a vastly improved loading time. In fact, a minor improvement in loading times would be okay for me. Anything to get into the action quicker. I’m thinking that perhaps it should be optional? But then the online might be mucked up if everyone is loaded and ready but waiting for MrX to load his bits. Mmm! Anyway, there was lots of room for improvement, and I’m hoping to see it all arrive nicely and …. On time? Single worldwide release? No having to patch immediately due to rushing to market before completing the testing?

Oh god, here we go, sorry, more thoughts popping into my head. How about a spector mode? I might possibly have some good buddies round for a few jars, and while we’re dribbling and talking crap, might want some visuals. Spectator mode would connect to a race, and have gourmet camera pans that follow the racing action, kinda like the trailer. It would be like whacking on Formula1 racing, but vastly more entertaining. Or particularly good races would be saved as race replay data, which could be uploaded to your PS3, which in turn would replay it. Mmm! Anyway, whatever….

Oh my, look at the time. I can hear a Friday beer calling. Have a great weekend peeps.

so do you retract your twisted metal statment?

obviously you make a good point, when motorstorm was released i dont think there was anything else in the genre at all, so that would make sence.
however if you switch it on right now and play online, you will see that the servers are still busy nearly a year later, and you cant say that about many other titles.
im not saying that it is a top 50 game, but online was truely superb, not just from a racing point, but from the fact that there is absolutly no lag and good support, and compared to other games like pro evo 8 which is appalling online you have to give credit where credit is due.

but you must know by now that all exclusive titles are hyped to the max!

are you crazy?? twisted metal was, and is one of the best games ever, and its not just me that thinks that if you check any review of twisted metal and twisted metal black and they will say the same.
i agree with you on smuglers run, that was crap.
but remeber that motorstorm is the best selling game on the ps3 which speeks in volumes if you ask me.
online the game was fantastic but it lacked a serious amount of content.

whats your problem? the first game looked just as good as the early vids that we all watched.
i have the first game and it is one of the best looking games out.
the problem with the original was that there was not enough content.
if the list of features on this are true, which they most likly are, then this game will be monumental!
