Additonal Info:
Continuing our discussion with Paul Hollywood, Evolution Studios' Creative Director, we were treated to a few great details on what gamers can expect to see in MotorStorm Pacific Rift as well as how the PlayStation 3 will bring about more than just mere graphical advances.
"One of the beauties of the PS3 is that you can do so much processing in parallel," remarked Hollywood. "Setting it up to do that requires careful planning of course, but it means you can really make it do some special things. What gamers will tend to notice most will be the graphical advances, but the power of the console goes deeper than that. The audio, the AI, the effects, all these things, and many more, have really come on for this game."
We then continued on to discuss Pacific Rift's key improvements over the first MotorStorm. While the original was a brilliant game, a sequel is expected to be, well, bigger and better. Here's what Hollywood had to say on the topic.
"The Island is obviously a big new aspect; it means we can have races in much more varied types of environments than before," explained Hollywood. "We’ve also added the monster truck as a new vehicle class, which presents the player with an entirely new aspect to the racing. If you’re driving one, you can have as much fun just driving over your competitors as you can using its immense power. If you’re racing against one instead, well you’d better have a good exit strategy."
"We’ve spent a lot of time on our multiplayer features too," he continued. "We got countless requests for splitscreen last time, so that’s been in since day one and is great. And we’ve also made our online play more robust and with more features to make it an easier, more friendly experience. But they’re just the tip of the iceberg really; you’ll have to play it to really understand that it’s all new, but with the same MotorStorm attitude."
MotorStorm Pacific Rift is set to release sometime this October, but stay tuned to PSU.com as we'll have more coverage of Evolution Studios' newest addition to the MotorStorm franchise soon.

Next: Fatal Inertia EX racing onto PSN June 19 Remember Fatal Inertia, the futuristic racer that was delayed time and time again? It's back in the form of Fatal Inertia EX, a downloadable title that is set to give Wip... |
the last one was awsome, so this (with all the improvements) should be even better. I can't wait to get this one.
This will be an amazing game.. Seriously...
Awesome! i cant wait for it to finally be released. i wonder if motostorm 3 will feature snow? and snowmobiles? and much more?...
There would be alot more games like this that had long lists of cool features if they weren't cross-platform with the 360.. But this ought to be great.
omg this game is gonna be............*drools*..... Amazing!
Sounds good.
im just hoping it doesnt get delayed...i cant wait to play the parts were thers gonna be lava
I've never been a racing fan, but the first cought my interest and I plan on picking this one up.
maannn..... can't wait for october. its just stabbing the back of the neck. the first game is so addictive. imagine the second one. GTA IV better watch out. There's a new contender for most addictive PS3 game and goes by the name
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. F***ing SWEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still mad that I didn't buy the extra add-ons hopefully Pacifica will include more tracks out of the box than the first, oww and what about adding in all the places from the first as bonus races.
2 players, better online, and better graphics? better deliver on all 3 aspects, but the graphics just aren't there. The graphics of the first are still jaw dropping. If this gets better? wow. So far, it's just not lol. but I have hope..
PSN ID: tatti
I would love the name of Paul hollywood.
Thatt would be crazy!!!!!! LOL
This might be random but they should also have a spectator mode. so if u not in the mood to race sit back and watch other peoples in there races. to me that's something i wanted to happen for a while. kinda like socom does
I love the idea of moving away from the Great Canyon setting but i hope they will make it easier this time around, cause the first one drove me crazy.
June 12th and on wards are going to be exciting times....
he added "We’ve spent a lot of time on our multiplayer features too,"
lol yea right him and his team were probly play then fixing if you know what i mean lol
I really hope they will allow us to set up and use custom sound tracks within the game. I know the up and coming XMB in game music is supposed to be on its way, but I think it would work better if the actual game handled this aspect.
Respect to Evolution Studios, they have really listened to the public and made huge advances in utilising the PS3's power. Loved the first one and cant wait for this. Its gonna be MAADDD!!
vroom vroom ;)
first one's online play was annnooooooooooying, so i hope they fixed that up. great game tho.
@ Undying_Darkness: That would be a great idea for the next Motorstorm.

The first one ran at 720p. Could they have gotten it up to 1080p? I have high hopes for this game. First one was almost perfect.
splitscreen... wow..then im going to buy it..it was the one thing missing on the first.. hope they make the split direction as optional.. when u have a big screen it is better to make it split left/right instead of top/buttom
This game will RULE!
