Additonal Info:
As one of the PlayStation 3’s most successful flagship titles, MotorStorm presented a unique racing experience alongside detailed graphics and enjoyable gameplay. It was only inevitable that developer Evolution Studios and publisher SCE have teamed up for the sequel.
Announced last September, MotorStorm 2 immediately became a must have game for many PS3 owners. Through videos and various sources, it was apparent that the next installment would take place in a tropical setting, most noticeably on an island.
However, according to Geekpulp, the game now has the official title of MotorStorm: Pacifica. The name comes from the game’s evident topical setting, which seemingly takes place in an island in the Pacific Ocean.
No real word yet as to what exact island(s) the game will take place on, but speculation is always welcome in our comments section. Some of the chief settings may perhaps be the Hawaiian, Fiji, Solomon, Cook, or the American Samoa Islands. Either way, the game will surely be a visual delight.
Stay tuned for more PSU coverage of MotorStorm: Pacifica in the near future.

Not bad Wouldnt mind driving 120miles on a beach

Hmm, still looks nice, but Motorstorm 2 dosn't sound like an old name of a game no one cared about. Or a WWII game about the Pacific war. Pacifica just dosn't sound like a racing games name.
Yea me to as well, with my Ferrari-F50
Sounds good, the teaser was absolutely fantastic. Can't wait.
That name goes perfect with the Motorstorms setting. I loved Motorstorm and I can't wait for Motorstorm 2. I hope that Evoultion Studios puts more racing modes in the game as well as more race tracks.
this game so far from the vid looks awsome and the setting looks better than the first one cant wait til it comes out
psn id J08hawks
blah it should still be called MOTORSTORM 2
It should be really good regardless of the name.
"Announced last September, MotorStorm 2 immediately became a must have game for many PS3 owners."
you mean motorstorm 1 immediately became a must...
Pacifica is a subtitle, the game will always be known as Motorstorm 2 regardless. I expect that's what they're refer to the the setting as.
I'm hoping for big jumps (like from one islant to the next type jumps), Stone bridges, island caverns, and ruins of some ancient island tribes and stuff. Maybe we'll run ing to Nathan drake and have to avoide getting shot by the gun on the back of his jeep.:P
They should have a water track with jet skis!
Oh Gees PSU, Pacifica doesn't necesarily come from Pacific Ocean at all. Pacific is a adjective in its own right meaning peacefulness, and Pacifica is the Italian form of this. It could be absolutely anywhere in the world.
Why write an article jumping to daft conclusions like this? It might as well be a forum post.
Okay, so MotorStorm 2: Pacifica.. sounds cool
awww djrussell thats wat i was going to say haha
great minds think alike :P
the game looks amazing no matter wat it will b called !
psn id: gingo.... most people will still refer to it as Motorstorm 2 but i dont think anyone ever thought that would be the official name Pacifica sounds quite awesome
pacifica huh he he but if this death islands racing festival it's more intresting but little long any way it's subtitle ha ha nice can't wait this :D
Well I thought that the team had to go to Hawaii to find "inspiration" for making the game. So doesn't it seem right that it would be taking place in Hawaii? Just a thought.
Motorstorm 2 sounded fine to me, but Pacifica sounds much better than Atlantica (a waterworld-y name), Indiana (heh), and Arctica (though couldn't be tropical here.) Maybe Motorstorm Revenge?
I like the 'Motorstorm 2' name much better than 'Motorstorm: Pacifica' one.
