Some of these digi titles need to be converted to run on ps5 games like the last guy will be gone now
In bad 720p streaming quality + we don't know how long Sony will allow PS3 titles on PSNow.
After all (and as far as it is known) they still use PS3 hardware for PS3 games. I really hope they use an emulator nowadays, but I don't think so.
Mulando don't know if you've used Now but games like that run fantastic lol. Playing Locoroco remastered looks damn near exactly the same as downloading. I know because I've played on my PC streamed plenty of times and you don't get a single artifact or feel delay. It really just depends on the title. Those ones are fine
Or...he's correct. They have telemetry, they can see how often people play old games. You people need to understand that if you go on N4G, reddit, FB groups, etc. to talk about games or keep up with games, then you are the hardcore of the hardcore and you makeup a tiny, TINY portion of the gaming public.
None of that is to say that I agree with taking down the stores or support Sony not doing BC for PS1-3.
But N4G PS gamers says people don't...only new exclusives matter
I really wish we got a Tokyo Jungle sequel with a bit more budget to it. That game was so unique.
Its really hard to believe over 2000 games will be lost and more than 100 will be xbox exclusive. I feel really bad for the indie devs that werent notified at all
Games don't cease to exist just because people can't purchase them. By that logic no NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, PS1, PS2, OG Xbox, etc. games exist.
You're right. They'll be available through emulators and that. But one indie dev was extremely pissed off cause he wasn't notified and was working months to bring a game to vita
Where did Sony’s racing franchise go?
Studio wanted try a more "racing sim" with Driveclub, didn't go too well and Sony shut the studio down. The team reformed at Codemasters and made Onrush, which is unsure if it did well. Now I guess they just work for codemasters
onrush is trash, I bought it and It is no Motorstorm. It is like a bad developers version of a copycat game based loosely on Motorstorm.
I deleted it from my PS4 within hours of installing it. The game is just terrible.
It isnt supposed to be motorstorm so if you went in thinking it was then... that's on you. I'm sorry you didnt get the hang of it but it is a fun game. you are right, it is no motorstorm but what it is, is its own thing.
Well they closed the studio after onrush, so you aren’t alone in your feelings. Game just felt boring tbh.
OnRush was solid. The gameplay loop was enjoyable once you actually get good. It wasn't Motorstorm, it had some similarities, but very different in terms of gameplay. Onrush was a well built game. It wasn't as AAA or perhaps as good as Motorstorm, but enjoyable nonetheless. Once you get good at pulling off kills and tricks for boost it becomes exciting. Photo mode is excellent and the visuals are decent. It features a full sp campaign, co op, and mp. I got the game on PS+ and thoroughly enjoyed the platinum. It also has a plethora of unlockable cosmetics.
@CurbStompin
No they didn't, the team is still part of codemasters, though the creative director of Onrush left shortly after it released.
@darthv72
It's not that I didn't "get the hang of it" the game is boring and freaking ugly, and you couldn't just play the game, The game forced you in between racing to look at these poorly drawn and animated "characters" dancing around like morons next to their cars, the music...oh how I hated the music, It was like someone on the dev team thought it would be a good idea to find the worst, most eclectic garbage and put it in the game.
Like I said, Trash ALL AROUND, I wold have rather bought Anthem and Fallout 76 than this pile of beige gruel.
Shame Sony closed down the studio, but glad they regrouped into a new studio, and apparently got funding to make another game. Motorstorm could still be made if Sony chose to. DriveClub was an ambitious attempt at a new racing IP, and probably why GT6 didn't release as cross gen. But Driveclub itself was pretty good, and Bikes was awesome, and DriveClub VR is probably the best VR racing game. If it weren't for the launch issues, which really didn't affect the game that much despite what people were making out, then it probably would have been more successful, and maybe they wouldn't have been shut down. But who's to say, as Sony was going through a lot of financial transitions and streamlining at the time.
thats the only reason i didnt get 6, i assumed an upgraded version was coming for the ps4, and as it released after the ps4 i thought it was a sure thing.
In the end it never happened, i kept meaning to grab a copy but just never did.
I think the last few MotorStorm games didn't sell very well.
Still remember playing the first one and being in awe of the mud effects.
Pacific rift is my favorite. Hell, even the RC game is fun. Arctic edge and apocalypse were okay but the first two were excellent.
Played the RC one a ton on Vita. Funny how nobody ever mentions that game in those 'Vita had no first party support' threads.
And playing in 3D was pretty rad too! Picked up Apocalypse for a few bucks awhile back. Good game.
I think back to the days of the demo stations when i was young, and the first Motorstorm was like a graphical achievement back then, it blew my mind
The first one was fun and I do remember the cool mud effect. Made me feel like wow, we are truly in the next gen
The original Motorstorm was a technically jaw dropping game. Visuals were incredible, the tracks were well designed, and the mud effects were brilliant.
There was also a release delay in Japan/Asia due to the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and 3 fission reactor meltdowns. Being titled Apocalypse is an unfortunate title for the timing. Great game though
I refuse to call Motorstorm a racing game. The AI cars sole purpose was to prevent you from winning like rubberbanding their way ahead of you and brake checking you. This isn't how racing works.
The cheating/rubberbanding was just horrendous. IIRC, the semi was supposed to be the worst in the mud and I had the vehicle best for it and I was in the lead and boosting through it and the damn semi caught up and passed me.
Another time I was in a truck running along some cliff and a dirt bike came up beside me and the rock wall. I decide to ram the bike in to the wall and I wind up blowing up and the bike drives off just fine.
"I decide to ram the bike in to the wall and I wind up blowing up and the bike drives off just fine."
Lol
I definitely remember the rubberbanding in the high-ranked challenges. It was the reason I never finished all of them. You had to be absolutely perfect some races! It was crazy. With that said, it is easily one of the best racing games I've ever played and competing online was a joy to behold due to the pure chaos of it all. Huge adrenaline rush!
That and arkham city was the pinnacle of 3d for me. Oh and killzone 3 in 3d with the moves and big gun thingy.
^
Uncharted 3. Yes, I wasn't impressed with the 3D implementation in that, apart from the drug sequence, which was way better in 3D.
Apocalypse in 3D was immaculate. I don't understand why people bashed Sony's foray into 3D? Apocalypse was the perfect game to bundle in 3D. On its own it was a fun popcorn game, but 3D actually elevated the experience.
Killzone 3 was also impressive in 3D. Killzone and Motorstorm had incredibly deep and dynamic 3D. KZ3 may have had some ghosting or artifacting, but the 3D popped off the screen. Awesome experience in a visually stunning and highly underrated PS3 game.
I will say that on their own 3d tv those games rocked. When i played them on other brands, it seemed like the 3d quality just wasnt the same.
I got to enjoy all of these titles on my 100 inch 3d projector setup with surround sound. KZ3 with the move controller in 3D was basically a holodeck. It was amazing.
When Gamingbolt's "What happened to" series of articles disappear, no one's going to ask what happened to them
Motor Storm was a fantastic game. It's a shame that Evolution studios was shut down - Sony put too much pressure on them at launch. The whole Drive Club / PS+ version was a farce and the online infrastructure was broke but once it was fixed it was fantastic. With everything they learnt from making Drive Club I'm sure Motor Storm on PS4 could have been amazing.
Instead of making drive club they should have made Motorstorm PS4 with the concepts intended for Drive club. Evolution tried to do too much at once. It was a mistake to launch a new IP during the launch of PS4. Guerrilla didn't. Sucker Punch Didn't. Naughty Dog didn't. They first brought out old favorites and they are all still strong as ever.
Same thing is happening with Media Molecule. Doing way too much too soon. They may be next on the chopping block.
MM are doing fine and they are not getting pressure into releasing the game as soon as possible. Dreams was rebooted 1 or 2 times and was allowed to release as an early access. So they are not going away for a long time. Rather none of the current PS Studio getting the chop block since they not losing money.
better question is when are we going to get a online AAA mp of Twisted Metal? jesus,i loved the first few games.
Twisted Metal and some SOCOM please. Or if not SOCOM, bring back MAG. I wouldn't mind a good competitive exclusive MP for Sony.
MAG all day - Sony had a winner with that one. A little rough around the edges, but nothing a sequel couldn't have addressed.
@oldboy
Exactly, especially with the new hardware and their network had gotten much better since the OG MAG days. Would be awesome for it to make a comeback.
I'd also like a nice tactical SOCOM game back as well.
The PSN hack happened to it. I loved the hell out of Apocalypse, it was such a fun racer, but it was pretty much DOA because the whole network was out. I wish they gave it another chance.
What a coincidence, I played motorstorm just yesterday after many years and though how great a sequel would be on the ps5.
Don’t care didn’t enjoy it much to be honest. That’s just me thought it was sluggish and slow.
Motorstorm one had the best physics and I had the most fun in that, pacific rift was largely a disappointment for me and never got the chance to give apocalypse a try.
The first two Motorstorms were amazing! really showed of the PS3 at the time. And they were overall fun. The fact that you could pick any type of car was pretty unique. I kinda wished they continued it on PS4. It would've done well.
Loved the series, although I wish it had less rubber banding (a problem that seemed to become more telling with each new mainline release). Even MotorStorm RC was an excellent handheld racer.
Hopefully Sony revives the IP some day and gives it to a talented racing dev to work on.
From Motorstorm they went to Driveclub, which is Awesome. I'm not sure what happened there. It's the best looking racer out there to this day. Heading into a turn, wipers on high, with lightning crashing, and rain streaking across the windows is fantastic.
Motorstorm was awesome on the PS3. I think Sony should vary their lineup just a tiny bit with games like this.
I liked drive club, but the first 9 months of mishaps and server issues left a bad impression on a lot of people’s minds.
And once people make their mind up on something it takes a long time to earn their trust back.
When drive club righted the ship with the game it was pretty much DOA for the studio in Sony’s eyes.
MS should buy them from code masters and reboot project Gotham with some of the stuff they were trying in drive club.
Be a prefect game for game pass
I don’t think they should have three racing game studios at once. They already have Playground and Turn 10.
Does anyone at gamingbolt read the news???😂😂
Last time they asked what happened to Infamous, knowing full well the studio is currently working on Got, then they asked what happened to Ratchet'n'Clank knowing full well that insomniac have been hard at work on spiderman.
And know they ask what happened to motorstorm knowing full well the studio closed down years ago.
Literally, anyone on N4G knows more about gaming than Gamingbolt. 😔😔😔
After Apocalypse there's really not much they can do to evolve the series,the game have earthquake,explosions,tornadoe s,environmental destruction and real time track deformation and alteration in one game and with 3D as well so there pushed the PS3 hardware as hard as they can.
And after four games they're ready to do something new and that was Driveclub.
The dev team got shut down after the poor sales of Drive Club (which I here is an actually pretty cool game) and even though they reformed into a brand new studio their next product Onrush also sold poorly.
Now the dev team has only a few members remaining and will most likely just assist other devs in making games rather than making their own.
The 3rd was my favorite, the 3d and destruction during races was really well done, shame sony closed evolution after driveclub, sonys biggest mistake this gen in my opinion, we may have got a new one, or at the very least an upgraded collection by now if they hadn't.
Smartass reviewers decided to sink the game downplaying it on every possible aspect although the game was (and still is) awesome.
Then Sony put the last nail in Evo Studios coffin.
Playing Motorstorm was my first "holly fuck this is next gen" moment on PS3. I played it so much and loved it. The online was super fun too. Pacific Rift was awesome! I would FREAK if they brought motorstorm back. I was so dissapointed when they closed the studio :(
Tried to go back to some Motorstorm 1 a while ago. Was not able to enjoy it. The amount of input lag was just too annoying. Loved it when it launched though. I believe the concept would work great with updated tech.
I want the motorstorm of E3 2005 demo.... On ps5... First Day for me
I was never into racing games, but I loved Motorstorm. It was so awesome to have bikes, racing cars, buggies, trucks, etc. all racing to the finish line!
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are examples out there of games being developed for Vita that truly make the most of its inputs, coming up with unique ways of interacting with the hardware to make for a memorable gaming experience. It’s these titles I’m looking at in this article – what they are and how they worked on Vita, both in terms of what they did right and what they could have done better."
When will Frobisher Says be coming to the US store!?!?
Stupid list.
Most of the games are PSP games, not Vita games (although playable in the Vita).
...So 6 of the best 10 Vita games are actually PSP games. What a stupid article.
@DarkHeroZX, No it dosn't, it says '10 of the best PS Vita games for under £10 each'.
I dont own a psp, so these are ps vita games.I dont care if they were developed for hte PSP. I can play them on my PS vita. That makes them ps vita games for me.
