Why Robin Makes Batman Better Sony Computer Entertainment and Evolution Studios have made official what we’ve known for a few weeks now—MotorStorm 2 is coming, bringing monster trucks and four player split-screen action with it. The PlayStation 3 racer is indeed moving from arid Monument Valley to a lush Pacific island, an island apparently known for its remote location and 16 “diverse multi-route tracks”.
Instead of mud, rocks, dust and the occasional cliff, MotorStorm 2 will feature natural hazards like “tangled undergrowth, swift flowing rivers, choking volcanic clouds and searing lava pools.” Sounds just fantastic. The official release on the matter talks up an Autumn release, arriving with a “host of game modes and rewards”. Now about those vehicle loading times…
The latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine reveals a handful of previously unknown details about Evolution Studios’ sequel to Motorstorm, including the addition of monster trucks(!) to the vehicle line-up and an all new location. Motorstorm 2, which is expected to be revealed officially this coming Wednesday, is reported to feature races on a tropical island, bringing with it water hazards and, we assume, fruity cocktails.
We’re waiting patiently for our issue of OPM to arrive with the smattering of details, but if the countdown clock on ThreeSpeech is accurate, we’ll probably see the goods within the next 48 hours or so.

Sony showed a few games off at GDC, but one they didn’t “show off” was MotorStorm 2. That one was reserved for the BBC, apparently, as only the Beeb’s Darren Waters got a premiere showing of Evolution’s upcoming racer. The sequel to 2006′s launch favourite is leaving the desert behind, and will instead concentrate on a “lush island environment, full of interactive vegetation”. More importantly – for both haters of exotic flora and PS3-owning Mario Kart enthusiasts – the game will feature 4-player split-screen racing, so you and three friends can party like it’s 2002.
