MotorStorm was one of the first-party titles that Sony had in their launch window for the PlayStation 3. The racer left a lot of people in awe and high curious before it came out due to one hell of a CG trailer shown at an E3 press conference. When it was finally released, the game was received by critics with pretty average reviews stating that the game was gorgeous but lacked depth. Now Evolution Studios is back with the all-new MotorStorm: Pacific Rift and Game Informer took three of the new tracks for a test drive.
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.
Seems bikes and ATV's control the same; making wide swooping turns and generally not behaving like they should. I'll buy MS2, I'm sure, but I probably won't play it much past a week or 2, just like the 1st one.
Like motorstorm 1.5 I was a huge fan of the first series but I am not so sure about this one. I hope it proves me wrong wait... I hope it doesn't cause if it does I would be broke from lbp, fallout3, and resistance 2.
Metacritic has it at 82. Is 82 out of 100 "pretty average"? I personally am not a fan of racing games but I enjoyed the hell out of Motorstorm. My only complaint was the long load times.
The guy who wrote this is an idiot. The scores it received were good and why does he keep on bringing up depth? How much depth can an arcade style whacky fun racing game have? This idiot wants it to be like Gran Turismo or something.
Anyway I'm very excited about MotorStorm 2. The first one was very fun and this one looks like it will be even more fun. Most likely buying it day one.
Poor Xbots,stuck playing Yaris
