Official Motorstorm: Apocalypse Thread

The new Motorstorm is out March 16th! So I though I would make official thread, as you might notice by the screen shots, Motorstorm is no long a off road racing game. At first I fought epic fail but after reading about the game and checking some videos looks like it will be great game.

Id be interested to see how they deal with the environment making changes to a track post a race and how dynamic those changes are.

Ive quite surprised how much Ive enjoyed the Motorstorm series, some of the scenery in MS

R was beautiful. It better still remain quite a 'roamable' track rather than anything too tight as thats not Motorstorm for me...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Played this at the expo last year and early impressions were pretty good, although the track seemed to lack detail compared to Pacific Rift.

Time will tell if it turns out good, but I like the sound of the additions.

I remember the first Motorstorm game when I got my PS3 at launch, what have they done to it? Looks like every other Burnout wannabe now

I think Vehicle perks, Modify your handling, boosting and offensive abilities will be very interesting addition to motorstorm, although I will miss the mud plugging. Wondering how there going make alternative routes for different vehicle classes

Trust me on this alone : It really, really isn't a Burnout wannabe. Currently rocking the beta. The netcode is excellent. My only criticism is that there's only three tracks :/

Roll on the 16th

Beta aye? how did you manage to get that?

Armadillo · 4 Mar 2011 at 02:53

They fixed the ai for this one? or does it still cheat like it does in pacific rift?

ps3ud0 · 4 Mar 2011 at 02:54

I think it still cheats - its a trait of MS - the last race of the first game was so hard to get 1st on...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Armadillo · 4 Mar 2011 at 03:31

. Guess I'm waiting for it to be £20 then. Some of the stuff the ai done in the later races was just a disgrace. Ai racers simply trying to take you out rather than win, cars taking corners at speeds and angles that aren't possible for you. It's just a lazy way to make it harder.

By being a beta tester

Recently I've had KZ3 and Brink too, and over the years I've had allsorts. Many members will vouch for me being a git

Logsi on here has it too.

RenoRanes007 · 5 Mar 2011 at 09:47

Looks good! I had the first Motorstorm but didn't bother with the second, but I think I may check this one out.

Robert1986 · 5 Mar 2011 at 10:41

Didn't get into the second one. Loved the first one though. This one looks better, day one for me. Love the sense of speed and mayhem in this game.

McManicMan · 5 Mar 2011 at 14:06

the perks and rewards challenges look good

+1 never played the second (only the demo) but this looks great so fare, the online looks to be big thing on this game.
