We were filled with excitement here at Three Speech when we received the vehicle line-up for MotorStorm. But that’s not all we’ve got - there’s also a few multiplayer gameplay screenshots and the split-screen action is looking great. Click through for the official press release and lots of images… Let us know in the thread your favorite class of vehicles…
Create carnage with a Mudplugger or crush competitors with a Monster Truck – there are eight different vehicle types to race with and against in MotorStorm® Pacific Rift for PS3™
This could be the closest you’ll ever get to brutal off-road racing and it’s back exclusively on PLAYSTATION®3 with eight different vehicle classes to tear up tracks with - including the introduction of the colossal new Monster Truck. MotorStorm® Pacific Rift from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is the furious follow up to the PS3® launch smash-hit, this time set on an unforgiving tropical island where adrenalin junkies and off-road bandits get to take on 16 brand-new tracks through land, sea, fire and air.
There are eight vehicle classes to choose from spanning big, small, fast and monstrous vehicle types, each with their own off-road pros and cons. While bigger vehicles can tear through the jungle undergrowth and flatten smaller competition, more compact vehicles can cruise around tough spots and maintain balance when teetering on the edge of cliff sides and volcanic lava pools. Whatever your vehicle of choice, the race will always be brutal, and a driver must be quick-witted, alert, and completely ruthless in order to win this competition.
The brand new Monster Truck is a force to be reckoned with! Its monstrous wheels can rip through all surfaces – vegetation, swamps, rocks and more. But this towering giant does have one weakness: sharp corners. Take a turn too fast and you’re in for a crash! For sheer brute power, Big Rigs are large, loud and practically unstoppable. The secret to driving a Big Rig is to build up speed and maintain it.
Mudpluggers are designed to barrel through mud, and their real strength is in the big wheels and heavy-duty suspension. Speed is going to be a problem so make the most of muddy patches when others are forced to slow down. The Racing Truck is a great all-rounder with no particular strengths or weaknesses. Racing Trucks can handle most track surfaces and can even hold their own against larger vehicles.
Rally Cars are all about speed – and although stable, they are quite fragile and contact with anything larger than an ATV can cause real damage. Try to avoid collisions and keep your foot firmly on the gas! Meanwhile, Buggies are perfect for desert landscapes: they’ll chew up sandy beaches and make short work of other uneven surfaces. Buggies offer superior handling on rough terrain and carry enough weight to knock Bikes and ATVs out of the way.
ATVs are more stable than Bikes but they’re not quite as agile – and, like Bikes, they don’t perform well in mud or water. Bikes are nimble and quick but they’re extremely fragile, so it’s best for riders to avoid conflict with bigger vehicles wherever possible. When alongside another Bike or ATV, feel free to throw some punches at your opponent!
With 16 multi-route tracks, online play for up to 12 players, 4-player split-screen, Trophy support and additional downloadable content from PlayStation®Network, get ready for some wet, wild and totally reckless fun when MotorStorm Pacific Rift hits shelves this Autumn, exclusive to PS3.
Played the demo. Not impressed….
It’s a rent…

It may look pretty good but if the demo is anything to go by then this is gonna be dull as dishwater.
Better luck next time I guess - Pure has this game totally beat.

Comment by Karl — Sep 17, 2008 @ 7:40 pm
@3 Karl - I agree, can’t wait. I don’t understand people’s expectations at all. This game is great and seems to be the perfect race game to pick up and have a blast either on ones own or with friends. It does exactly what it set outs to do and is great fun. To call it as “dull as dishwater” (Neil) is a ridiculous.

A totally unique racing game but the demo didn’t fill me with excitement. Looks to be pretty much the same as the last episode (as good as it was). I just hope the loading times have improved a LOT! Won’t be in a rush to go out and get it.

From Valencia (Spain) :
Hi everyone !! I played the demo and everything was wondefull but terrain texture…I really love all the changes made from first Motorstorm , and i thinkit’ll be an AAA on racing games because is a good mixture of arcade speed, crashes and beautifull big circuits with new improvement like 4 players split screen , diferent surfaces and more kind of vehicles…
For me Motorstorm is the most replayable racing game on ps3 ever, and M Pacific Rift ‘ll be absolutly amazing and a must buy game.
P.D. Please improve the terrain texture on Motorstorm 3 , in the demo seem to be like on ps2 game…

ohh boy… BRUTAL off road racing is back and this time on an island, with splitscreen, faster loading times, MONSTER TRUCKS and attack moves… hells yea count me in, this is BRUTAL off road racing, this is MOTORSTORM
Comment by remanutd — Sep 17, 2008 @ 8:40 pm
the demo had the split screen, which was nice, but apart from that it is just the same as Motorstorm in a different location, same old rubberband AI. not saying Motorstorm wasn’t great, 18 months ago, but things have moved on. compared to the graphical wonderfulness of GRiD etc. it’s looking a bit dated.
says he who’s buying Baja next week
if you don’t have the original Motorstorm definitely get this, or if you are a die-hard fan, but it doesn’t bring much new to the table if you ask me.
Comment by mobiletone — Sep 17, 2008 @ 8:51 pm
You summed up my thoughts [ http://1upgamers.com/storm_warning/ ] perfectly, ‘tone.
Adding to the seven vehicle classes from the original MotorStorm (Bikes, ATVs, Buggies, Rally Cars, Racing trucks, Mud Pluggers, & Big Rigs), “…Pacific Rift” offers the all new Monster Truck. This too isn’t a reason to buy the 2008 version of the 2007 release day title, especially with the advent of “next-gen” variants of previous generation franchises hitting the PS3 platform around the same time.
As I mentioned in the “Motorstorm: Pacific Rift demo out today!” blog entry, I am hoping to be suitably re-impressed by a later build of the “Private Beta” offered to a random audience last week, when a more Public playable demo is available on the PlayStation Store in the lead-up to the release of the commercial Blu-ray edition.
I still think this newly revised off-road racing title can remain relevant against the competition but, for me, I’d sooner keep playing the original “MotorStorm”, and put the money I saved towards a second PS3 console to play offline multi-player events on a dedicated screen for each participant.
And yes, “Race Driver GRID” is graphically superior.

i loved it the graphics are great…and it has splitscreen which grid didnt have!
me and my mates play it constantly and its just the demo cant wait till the real deal comes s i can have 4 of us fighting it out.

I prefered Pure, based on the demo, but Wipeout HD is the only racer I got my eye on at the moment 8 days left!
That said the screens are looking mighty good, but then again Sony are famous for releasing “bullshots” Haze anyone?

Comment by Heavenly_King — Sep 18, 2008 @ 2:56 am
Judging from the demo, the wow-factor isn’t as great as it was with #1, but the graphics are solid and the physic still very impressing. While it can’t compare to GRID (or even DIRT. which is a much better comparison as it’s pretty much the off-road equivalent to GRID), it will definately be part of my collection when it comes out. The reason? There just aren’t many good splitscreen games available on the PS3… all the devlopers seem to think that online is enough. Well, think again… back when consoles where the poor man’s PC’s as far as gaming was concerned, we got together for LAN parties. And we still do, because nothing compares to playing against real people. Yes, online players are real people too, but as opponents, they’re little more than a bit unpredictable bots. They aren’t here. I can’t see them laugh, cry or shout. Play CoD4 online and split screen, you’ll see what I mean. (at least if you have a good screen… I’m playing on a Mitsubishi HC4900 1080p beamer and a 150 inch screen)
Comment by hansschmucker — Sep 18, 2008 @ 3:16 am
I don’t get those who compare MotorStorm to Pure, they are different games. In Pure, you only got bikes and it’s all about pulling out some air tricks. MotorStorm, on the other hand, has eight vehicle classes that handle differently and give you a great adrenaline rush when trying to stay ahead while figuring the track most suitable to your ride.
Comment by EViD — Sep 18, 2008 @ 3:30 am
Pure gets a little too much praise FWIW i’ve played the demo and the water effects are no better if not worse than motorstorm(check out the puddles and particle effects when going through them, the textures up close are worse with the exception of the ground textures. (Check out out trackside objects to see what i mean) To its credit it has good lighting though not better than MS2, but of course almost zero physics, no damage on vehicles and you cant even stray even a little bit of the track withiut the game resetting you, so not much freedom to roam and explore the environment (should you be so inclined). and yeah its a boring trick based game
Comment by pinin — Sep 18, 2008 @ 7:08 am
@ mikey - 360 fanboys!! just because we have an opinion that doesn’t praise Motorstorm 2? maybe we have played the first one to death and considering the hype this new build got, were, maybe, just a bit disappointed that it’s exactly the same game with a new map and splitscreen. times have moved on since the first one came out, just maybe we were expecting a bit.. more?

Sorry but I am a PS3 only man, love it and would never get a 360. However, I also hated Motorstorm & the demo of Pacific Rift is just the same only in green instead of Brown.
I also much prefered Pure, ok it’s not quite the same for comparing but more fun IMO. However, I’m not really a big racing fan anyway, so won’t be buying either but given the choice of a freebie from the 2 titles I’d get Pure.
Comment by Robothamster — Sep 18, 2008 @ 9:08 am

Re MS:PR- The screens make it look better than it does in the demo & the splitscreen is a welcome addition but I agree with mobiletone the demo was very much more of the same. Roll on Wipeout 7 days to go…

Oh, and those 4 player spilt screen shots look awful… hopefully the 4 player gameplay will make up for that.
Comment by SH4RKY — Sep 18, 2008 @ 9:33 am
I enjoyed the demo but it didnt seem to have evolved a great deal from the first one. To be honest I’m not sure what I expected. Will probably rent it before buying, but then after making a few bad choices thats my stance with any game now anyhow. Except for Resident Evil, which I am confident will be cool.

Razing Storm: An Arcade Light Gun Game Built With PS3 Hardware
By Spencer
September 17, 2008 . 3:20am
Namco Bandai is no stranger to System 357. The PlayStation 3 based arcade hardware was chosen for Tekken 6. In spring 2009 it’s going to be used to power Razing Storm too. The newly announced light gun game is set in 2030 where your mission is to shoot terrorists in South America. A hyper vibrating machine gun controller is your weapon.
So what does the power of the System 357 board add to the game? It’s supposed to produce beautiful graphics on a 62 inch monitor. The screenshots are far from jaw dropping, but it looks like the environments can be completely trashed. I’m less interested in the graphics, though. Razing Storm also has an advanced artificial intelligence system where enemies react to broken buildings and your actions. This sounds like an improvement over what the usual light gun zombie does, which is running up to the front of the screen so you can pull off a pointblank shot.

I hate olives, I must be a chinese food fanboy…
*rolls eyes*
Poor analogy I know, but not really digging a title that happens to be exclusive doesn’t mean your a fanboy of a different platform. Myopic statements such as yours “are” fanboyish…
I also didn’t really dig Heavenly Sword,
(It was some of the abrupt cut scenes/short length, that really spoiled it, even some of the animated backstory never made it on the disc. That screams “rushed out the door”)
Hated Lair with the imprecise motion only controls.
(I picked it up again, since the patch. Not had a chance to play it again, it’s in a long queue of games I still have on the back-burner)
I rented Haze, which was a generic/poorly executed Fps in my eyes…
(Expected a lot more from the makers of Time Splitters, Free Radical. Who mostly consist of devs who left Rare, and thus some of the guys behind Golden Eye)
On the other hand, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, MGS4, Siren & Resistance (only major gripe was textures were a bit bland in places)…
All titles that I really enjoy/ed, and reason enough to justify why I bought a PS3, when I already owned a 360. Later down the line I still bought a Wii, despite owning a PS3 & 360…
God I must be some sort of “game” fanboy or something…

I think it’s simple why some people where dissapointed with the demo. It’s probably due to the track selected for te demo.
We were all expecting to see a track with more variety in it…
- lush vegetation (not really)
- water sections (nope)
- lava (nope)
- deformable track/areas (not really)
So, I think they are holding the best for last, or the full game that is. They should have inserted a track with at least two items of the ones indicated.

Check back at comment #31.
@32 [Mr M.}:
You some kind of game-playing weirdo?
Three Speech common-taters don’t play games they just moan about them.
Seriously, though, it shouldn’t matter if everybody in the world thinks a game is pants. If you enjoy playing it what else matters?
My favourite genre is First Person Shooters, and my second is probably racing titles (of fighting titles, I cannot decide which), but I cannot ‘get on’ with the “Gran Turismo” series, especially “…5 Prologue” (as I find it too slow), and “Gran Theft Auto IV” doesn’t appeal to me at all.
I have just (as of last Friday) bought “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” (as it was £25 in the WM Morrison ‘price war’ last week), but I don’t have a great urge to play it immediately. I’ll wait until there is a lull in the gaming schedules (although looking at the PS3 games roster for the next 6-12 months, there doesn’t look like there will be one).
Gaming is a very personal past-time (only it is becoming more public with the expectation that every title should have an online mode).
Now get back to it, you freak!

Fanpages, just want to say MGS4 to me was the most impressive game I’ve ever played, ever. I’m still in shock from it 3 months (or so) after finishing it! And I’m not even a follower of the MGS series really, only played No 1 on the PS1.
Yes there are some great games coming out, to me they are WipeoutHD, Fallout3, LBP, Shaun Whites, but if I had the choice I’d play MGS4 before any of those!
Comment by Robothamster — Sep 18, 2008 @ 11:13 am
To really be blown away by MGS4 you should try playing 1-3 back to back before 4. Thats what I did, in the run up to its release, had a MGS month it was great… All the references to past games in 4 were fresh in my head…
That said Metal Gear is a clear cut example of an acquired taste…
Some hate it with as much passion as I love it…

@39 [Divine]:
No worries. What did you think of the new, erm, ‘application’?
@43 [Robothamster ]/@44 [Mr M.]:
Thanks for your replies… albeit contradictory. Yeah… thanks for that!
That’s my problem with it really… some people say you need to fully be engrossed in the “Metal Gear” universe, and others say you can just pick up the latest instalment & find it just as enjoyable.
It also needs a heap of mandatory hard drive space that I don’t have available at present, so it’ll have to wait with “Siren: New Translation” & “Battlefield: Bad Company (Gold Edition)” (both still unplayed since I bought them) as they too need a similar amount of Giga-wotnots.
One of my kids (the Shooting title fan) liked the Beta of “Metal Gear Online” although I couldn’t see the attraction… but he is a *big* fan of such titles, so he may have the casting vote over me installing my Asian import of “Siren: New Translation” before it reaches the UK, or either of the other two ‘pending’ titles.
Oh yes, and I bought “Mercenaries 2: World in Flames” (again, at £25) from Morrison’s, but that needs a hard drive install too.
As soon as I get some income again my list of ‘need to have’ purchases (well, beyond my mortgage, and feeding my family) will read a) a 500Gb hard drive to replace my 60Gb unit, and b) a HD-TV (yes, thanks ‘tone [@14]… I know!) [most likely a Sony Bravia Sony KDL32W4000U, or a Sharp LC32X20E, as both offer 1080p on a 32-inch screen].

As for Metal Gear 4, yes you would really enjoy it even it was your first game in the series…
But being aware of everybody’s back-stories (not just Snakes) lends a bit of extra emotional attachment to all the characters and gives the story even more punch…
That said I am a huge Metal Gear “Fan-man”, so my views are a bit bias…
Comment by Mr. Monkey — Sep 18, 2008 @ 12:26 pm
I played the demo and you can clearly see it’s a very early build, and very limited - i.e. one track.
I wouldn’t judge this game on the demo as I don’t think it does it justice. It clearly lacked pollish and the level itself was quite a dull example to choose - a grey cliff top rather than a jungle, beach or volcano setting.
The more recent footage I’ve seen looks really good and the environments look really impressive.
I’ll probably pick this up as the original was one of the few racing games I enjoyed playing (they’re not normally my thing). I’ve played the demo of GRID and it may look pretty but I got bored with it after 10 minutes.
Also that sunset picture you’ve used looks really nice, is that just concept art or part of the game’s pre-rendered Intro movie?

The demo is obviously an old build. If it’s not, how is it possible to explain the fact that when we are riding a bike, the tires do not touch the ground? Bikes seem to be floating in the air. It’s just impossible that this glitch will be seen on the final version.

@50, Pure & Motorstorm may be different but you can still compare the FUN factor, which is what I was doing, Pure demo IMO was more fun where as Motorstorm I just really really really hated. Really.
@ Fanpages, I would suggest you spend the next £40 you have spare on a 320gb harddrive rather than another game you can’t install!
IMO, 500gb aren’t worth the extra £80 over a 320gb which you can pick up for £60 as opposed to £140.

I have a 500Gb (well, 2 x 250Gb] hard drive(s) in my Sony VAIO laptop & they are almost full (of gaming related videos, system update files, and forum messages), so I’m sure I’ll fill up any capacity drive without any problem… but thanks for the tip. I didn’t realise (probably because I’ve never looked) what the price difference would be between a 320Gb & 500Gb SATA internal device. A good point though
@50 [solid0snake]:
As for the comparison of “Pure” & “MotorStorm”… both were available as playable demos within the same week… both are racing titles… both have All-Terrain Vehicles (Quad Bikes)… both have undulated dusty environments… both are the latest instalments of previous franchise titles… of course they are going to be compared.
To call somebody a ‘noob’ implies their lack of appreciation or experience in a subject. Back to (driving) school for me then.

FP, give it a few months and the price will probably get more reasonable for a 500gb. Beware also that at the moment there is only 1 type of 500gb that fits, the others are slightly thicker.
Saying that, by the sounds of it you can’t really wait many more months as you already have a backlog of 3 or 4 games that need installing!
