MotorStorm 3.1 Update - Mirrored Tracks, and 2D Vehicle Select Added

The latest update to MotorStorm is out today.

Now included is a vehicle selection of 2D/3D in the host options as well as mirrored tracks.

The vehicle selections lets you have either the traditional 3D select screen or a 2D grid of the vehicles to choose from, which seems to speed up the selection process somewhat.

The host can also choose mirrored tracks which reverses the entire geometry set of the tracks. Where you went left you will now go right. An interesting mix, and will take some getting used too not to forget which way you're actually going! (MotorStorm, PS3)

im glad there added 2d vehicle selection. Dont know about you, i want to select it quickly rather letting it load up the vehicle.

Motorstorm is a great game for first PS3 owners. It is fun online.

I have this game since March. Still loving it.
hokis4ever  +   2611d ago
first game
I had purchased for my PS3. Still enjoying it. Visuals are great and gameplay is pretty fun (although sometimes repetitive). Online is pretty fun as well and you'll always find people playing.

As Starsky would say... Dooo iiiitttt!

dude get motorstorm, if you even only slightly enjoy racing games you'll love motorstorm and so will your mates!

oh, and well done, welcome to the Dark Side....
predator  +   2611d ago
haha at douch, im not on the dark side, i now have the force of two powerhouse's lol

all bow to me!!! hahaha
mighty_douche  +   2611d ago
lol im only joing dude..
but yeah, id get motorstorm over the other games you suggestted. whats your PSN dude?

EDIT: get warhawk to dude (when you got the cash o_O) but it might be worth waiting as theres an "expansion pack" coming very soon so you might be able to buy warhawk and its expansion in one bundle which will probably save you a few quid.

lllpredatorlll - if you go on my n4g profile it shows it better,

im working away during the week and have my 360 with me so when im home on friday ill accept it.

edit- warhawk has taken my eye but i will not be able to play online games without a headset (use to it on live) so ill need to buy warhawk in the shops with the headset.

I'm thinking the same thing too now...

They seem to be really supporting this game which makes me really optimistic about getting it.

I even hate racing games, but damn, I'd get it just to support this developer.

PREDATOR!!!
dont buy the warhawk-headset combo, you pay way over the odds for the headset. the PS3 will work with any Bluetooth headset, just get on ebay and pick one up, you can even buy the MadCats one (that the one that come with warhawk) from there much much cheaper!

saving money on that mean more money for GAMES!!

motorstorm is THE "classic" ps3 game.
on launch, everyone (including me) bought this game, and since launch, everyone (invluding me) is enjoying this.

but i would probably buy it over ebay, not in the store.
KidMakeshift  +   2610d ago
I bought it then sold it then bought it again

I think I like it
kiikoooo  +   2611d ago
ive got all of motorstorm, hs , warhawk and rfom and i gotta say get Hs or Warhawk.
if you like action games u have to try hs its epic. and warhawk is the best multiplayer game around. motorstorm is awesome too

Enjoying new content now.........

yeh its a fun game;) even better with a dual shock 3 pad to!!! ;-P
shame no 4player or 2player off-line splitscreen mode:-(
techie  +   2611d ago
Yesss!!! this'll feel like double the tracks! thank you ND for inspiring devs to do mirrored worlds!
Andronix  +   2610d ago
Thank F*** for that!
Evolution are doing a good thing by supporting the game with these FREE updates. (I dont agree with paying up to £15 quid extra for stuff that once came free.)

The big thing is vehicle selection. Motorstorm is an amazing game but I could never understand why the PS3 couldnt easily flick from one vehicle to another. I guess it was to do with not having enough time to get used to the new PS3 hardware.

Anyway. Today is a busy gaming day. as well as the Halo 3 maps (800 points!) im gonna be playing some Motorstorm!

Anbody seen the BTS on PSN for Motorstorm?
The developer that hosts the behind the scenes for the Motorstorm vids has got to be shabbiest looking dude I've ever seen. In every video he looks like he just woke up from a week's worth of drinking and he's got a sheen of sweaty/shiny skin that actually makes me feel kind of sick.

On a more positive note, great to see them supporting Motorstorm nearly a year later. I love this game, wished it was a little deeper with the vehicles and driver, but it's still bad ass.
bootsielon  +   2610d ago
Awesome!
That's logistics at its best! A simple algorithm duplicated the value of the game. Genius.
DJ  +   2610d ago
YES!!!
2D Vehicle selection, thank god! 3D vehicle selection takes way too long, so that's a great addition. Mirrored worlds suddenly doubles the replay value as well. o_o

I use to hate motorstorm... The online use to suck and no one use to play... As of late I got a resurgence in it and now I see over 300 and 400 games going online at any given time with 10 + people in each racing.

I'd say get Motorstorm now... The graphics, and keep in mind this is a PS3 launch game, are second to none.
MikeGdaGod  +   2610d ago
no one use to play???
i don't know what server you were on but there's always alot of people online when i play and i've had it since day one. my favorite racing game by far.

does anyone know if the mirror mode is just for online or can it be played like that in single player also?

Motorstorm's community got an inevitable boost since every 80 gig ps3 comes with it free. The community will grow as the PS3's grow.
ion666  +   2610d ago
wtf with the awards
motorstorm should have been in the top three.forza first of course.wtf, man!
blu3print  +   2610d ago
ooooooo
I got this game today and went to play online.. i was wondering why it taking so long to download the update, then i came here and see this news. Servers must be bogged...
whoelse  +   2610d ago
good
I hated the load times on Motorstorm. Hope its generally faster too.
