Motorstorm 3.1 Update Released Today

Paranoid_Robot · 11 Dec 2007 at 20:04

The latest update to MotorStorm is out today.

Now included is a vehicle selection of 2D/3D in the host options as well as mirrored tracks.

The vehicle selections lets you have either the traditional 3D select screen or a 2D grid of the vehicles to choose from, which seems to speed up the selection process somewhat.

The host can also choose mirrored tracks which reverses the entire geometry set of the tracks. Where you went left you will now go right. An interesting mix, and will take some getting used too not to forget which way you\'re actually going!

The addition of a proximity meter in MotorStorm mode is also welcome, and works like the one in eliminator mode.

There are also 2 new music tracks, ‘Devils Crossing’ by Elite Force and ‘Beat The Devil’ by Jiffster (Featuring Bard)

This was the only reason I don't turn it on anymore and now it's fixed

Edit: The 2D vehicle selection only works online, bit of a disappointment but online was probably better than SP when I played it, like most racing games.

YEah, all the Motorstorm updates have been free.

They only charge for DLC like tracks and cars.

Has it made any improvements?

I must admit I think I have only put in like 2 hours into that game.

Mainly the vehicle select screen which was a joke, it took so long to load the vehicles that it became annoying. Glad they fixed that.

To be fair, it's not like one patch has just come out, going straight to v3.1

There have been various patches along the way, improving the online play, and allowing for the different weekend packs and vehicles to be added, and rumble.

Considering it was a launch title, I think it's brilliant they're still so active in adding stuff to it. It's not just bugfixes, though I imagine there must've been some of those too. I remember one of the first patches fixed the "Turbo exploit" online.

V1N.

EDIT: and as Nokkon said, the vehicle select screen was completly OTT. That's the one thing I wanted them to fix, I never had any other problems with it, but that one was annoying. Still, I shall download the fix tomorrow, and that's that sorted too
