The original was our favourite PS3 launch title and is still one of the best-looking games on the console. With an extra year to get to grips with the complexities of PS3's motherbrain, Evolution Studios has turned the dials up on visuals, action and brutality.
That's what game director Nigel Kershaw tells us anyway. We've yet to play it. But he talks it up well.
Q: How much of PS3's technical potential do you think you used in the original?
Kershaw: It's extremely difficult to quantify it like that. MotorStorm used as much of the console's power as we were able to unlock at the time. We now know more about how best to work with the hardware, and so we have made numerous sizeable leaps with regards to the graphics, physics, AI and so on.
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣

Poor Heavy Rain lol that game was and is a pile. Emulation sounds cool though - Res. Evil 3 and Directors Cut all the way.
So games run at 10 fps and graphical glitches not seen since pcsx2 in 2003,.. I will get there someday.
