MotorStorm 2 Does Not Feature Elvis
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 10:40 PM on May 8, 2008
MotorStorm dev Evolution was acquired by Sony. Have things changed after going from indie to corporate monolith? Says Evolution's Paul Hollywood:
There is commercial pressure from Sony who want us to create a viable business product but we're more after the critical acclaim. I think there's less pressure now because when we were an independent developer we had the pressure of paying the wages every month. Now we don't have to worry about the next game or what we're going to be doing.That's right, you're doing MotorStorm 2, and we're pretty sure it'll do fairly well. So, yeah, everything's coming up Evolution! About that sequel, which was inspired by Hawaii's beautiful island setting, Hollywood points out that the game has "no hula" and "no Elvis." No Elvis? Wha?! Two words: "Big" and "mistake."

How does someone go about in life with the surname "Hollywood"? I'd be a boxer if I were him, body type permitting.

I would buy day one if it had Elvis chasing girls on the beach in a monster truck. Now it's only a day two purchase.

Maybe they're saving Elvis for a Disney/"Lilo & Stitch" themed Motorstorm DLC track pack? LOL

Elvis in a beach buggy. Need this now.
God I remember growing up and my mother was always watching those stupid F*king Elvis movies. Made me want to stab my ears with pencils and pour bottles of windex all over my eyes. I think it is ironic that I would actually find it awesome to have cheesey ass beach buggy style Elvis in this game. Be better if it was drunk coked out hardcore elvis though. He'd fucking kill someone on a motorcycle.

I wonder how much an Elvis license would cost, but maybe if one of the riders was an Elvis impersonator they wouldnt need to license him, which is just as well because the real Elvis is a bit too old to ride a bike now.

Not suppressing that Elvis wouldn't be in the game. The IP holdings on Elvis run up an extremely high bill. I just don't see why anyone would be spending that kind of money for a cameo.
