Since its origins as a PlayStation 3 concept video, Motorstorm has always been known as a series with great visuals. Six years and three console games later, the Motorstorm series still looks damn good. We put three of the PS3 games side-by-side to get a closer look at how the game’s graphics have changed over time.
Well, well, well, what do we have here? Some price drops on a few of our favourite PS3 games is what.
Sony is giving Motorstorm: Pacific Rift vehicles a brand new look, kicking off eight weeks of free downloadable content with tomorrow’s PlayStation Store update.
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift may have been out on the Playstation 3 for a couple of months already, but it just got a new demo.
Despite failing to set fire to retail sales chart, Sony Worldwide Studios reveals that MotorstormL: Pacific Rift has still managed to move over a million copies since launch.
Evolution Studios lead designer Nigel Kershaw and creative director Paul Hollywood, responsible for the recent MotorStorm: Pacific Rift for the PlayStation 3, tell 1UP that the “infamous” E3 2005 trailer for the first MotorStorm “kind of pissed us off a lot.” Why? Well, for one thing, it wasn’t created by them and set the team up for “expectations about the rendering prowess that we were going to expose.”
Last year’s MotorStorm gave PlayStation 3 owners a novel concept, a game that added context and surroundings much more compelling than you usually get in pick-up-and-play racers. Half the fun was the exquisitely hallucinated reason for it all, that there could actually be a beyond-extreme rally “festival” held in Utah’s Monument Valley, sort of like Sturgis meets Burning Man with loads more violent collisions and fatal wrecks. And, one assumes, crazy monkey sex in everyone’s tents at night.
Owners of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift will have good reason to fire up their copies of the PlayStation 3 racer well after launch date, as Evolution Studios says it’s planning on releasing “something new to play with every week” much of it expected to be absolutely free. Since the title doesn’t ship to Evolution’s home turf until November, don’t expect anything this Thursday, though.
Brace for it MotorStorm fans, today Sony released details about the 16 tracks you can expect to race come October 28th. We’re happy to say there seems to be a lot more variety in the environments this time around. Just a word of caution though, if you want to surprised when you get your copy, you might want to skip this one. Full list of tracks and element screens after the jump.
