The lengths some people will go to for a laugh. Paul Hollywood, garrulous creative director of MotorStorm Pacific Rift - you might remember him from Tom's preview - knows all about it. He put Evolution, developer of the Sony-published PS3 racing sequel, through months of painstaking work and agonising waiting just so he could relive memories of a misspent youth.
"I really, really enjoyed playing Mario Kart on the SNES," he says. Who didn't, Paul. "I lost many months of my life to it, and my friends did as well. That sort of pure arcade experience is what I'm after." But there was something missing from that goal - split-screen. The first MotorStorm's multiplayer was online only; this sequel supports up to four players on a single machine. A welcome decision, but as Hollywood reveals, it was a costly one.

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.
looked like a good preview of things, then right at the end eurogamer spoils it.
Of course there are alot of racing games out there, but with this, you know what your getting, a thrill seeking hell of a ride, with loads of new enviroments, split screen.
How can that be a bad thing?
Just as I suspected Motorstorm 1.5 is upon us. They said it best. "It has nothing to boast over the 1st one other than split screen mode, new tracks and picture mode."
I sure am Sorry.
whats the difference between:
halo 1,2,3
r6 vegas 1,2
any madden game
any nba game
any soccer game
any gran turismo
any forza
those series are no differnt than motorstorm.
most games like this take the previous one and step it up a notch.
thats what this is. motorstorm stepped up a notch. There are tons of new features they listed that makes this game different from the first one. Its going to be pretty freakin sweet. best arcade racer out there.
I'M IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-P
WOW!!! It's going to be Brilliant!!!! ;-P
I need one more 'DS3' pad!;) (Got 3 so far) ;)
The it will be an instant hit, just for the change in location and a few tweeks to the lineup of vehicles. Sorry, but I am looking forward to this game for one reason, it's Motorstorm and the first one was just plain awesome.
