Where the hell did you learn to drive? - Image 1


The promotional machine keeps on chugging for Evolution Studios' MotorStorm with a new batch of screenshots. After its impressive Japanese debut, however (not to mention all those glowing comments), really, all that is left is to release the game once and for all in North America and Europe.

Sooner would be better than later. On the other hand, there's probably nothing better to vindicate the UK-based Evolution peeps than their baby right there, as part of the Euro launch lineup.

Best racing game ever made
by scarface_tha_second - 2007-02-19 09:27:38
I disagree

Graphically, this game looks *****ing amazing. I didn't really enjoy the demo, though. Didn't like the feel of the game at all actually...probably won't end up getting it. Wheres that iso loader already? lmao.

CGI fake not in game mode bs sony hype flop
by - 2007-02-19 11:18:38
man....

i just laugh at all the xbots that come here and piss on these games without ever playing the damn thing.... sure... if it looks good it must be "CGI"....
by - 2007-02-19 11:56:52
lol X-bots...

Riigghhtt, this is CGI cause they havent proven that this is in-game before... Hey X-bot, your 360 gettin boring? I guess I shouldn't blame you for being on the PS3 side, I mean, the PS3 does have that kind of lure on people it's only natural...
by - 2007-02-19 12:10:02
Nope

No CGI here mate. Unlike your Halo 3 which is jst completly CGI at the moment and the screenshots of it look last gen.
by - 2007-02-19 12:47:40
Hmmm

"Halo 3 which is jst completly CGI at the moment and the screenshots of it look last gen." That's as dumb as the CGI comment from '?' The first Halo 3 trailer (the one with MC in the desert) was 100% realtime, running on the game engine (and proven to be realtime by Bungie). It was the Halo 3 ad which was CGI, and deliberately made so that we knew it was a CGI ad for the game. As for the screenshots. All we've seen are screenshots from the alpha build of the game, which lacks many of the graphical features of the final game (as Bungie state on their website). So yes, the CGI comment about Motorstorm was stupid, but that doesn't mean you should offer a stupid response in return. :|
by - 2007-02-19 13:40:06
HALO?

How did halo get involved?! With xbots the answer to all arguments is either halo or gears, GET MORE GAMES!!!
by - 2007-02-19 14:11:57
Actually

If you bothered to READ the thread, you will see that it was a PS3 fan who introduced Halo into the discussion, with a comment which was as dumb as the CGI comment about Motorstorm. So let's get back on topic. :|

I can't wait to buy this game. ;)
by - 2007-02-19 15:40:12
lolz

i still think the 15 minute MGS4 trailer was better than the halo trailer and for anyone thats played resistance, halo sort of took resistance's idea of a protection nade. in resistance there was a backlash grenade so you throw it, let it explode, then jump in the shield it just made, which you can shoot out of and if the enemy shoots at it, well, then the bullet goes right back to whoever shot it.
by Vietone - 2007-02-19 16:08:05
Dont bring up halo3

So far that so called in game 100% real time demo has not been reached in the leaked screen shots. When EGM previewed the game, it was stated that it was an alpha build with halo2 placeholder textures. With even the so called leaked video from Iraq, it still had placeholders. With all the screenshots of the game that were leaked and on the internet, they all had placeholders. When the beta comes out, it will be the version without placeholders. Thats when people can say if they live up to their target render or not.
by - 2007-02-19 16:10:32
yup PS3 fan said it

correct look at PS3Rider Halo comment above..
by Vietone - 2007-02-19 16:14:16
...

Yeah its easy to make characters with helmets and masks because you dont have to put detail on the head. But theres rumors in halo3 that they are going to show the man beneath the mask. Also, that shield grenade idea is pretty old as a concept so to bring it back in a game, you cant claim someone stole it from anyone else. RFoM had a very cool and totally unique method for their shield grenade. The first time i used it I threw it at an enemy and tried to shoot through it to find my shots being deflected. It doesn't get reflected back to you, it just deflects all your shots. The shield grenade in Halo3 or so the concept shows, its small, it leaves you invincible to attack but you cant attack from it either. It makes no sense for a shield grenade because they already have personal shields in the game. Would have been more realistic if you had a shield upgrade that allows you to extend your personal shield into a bubble that offers more protection from explosive fire.

Oh No now its MGS4 and Halo

OMG Now we have another this time its about MGS4 trailer and HALO. PS3 owners try sticking to the topic. BUT anyway as far as Halo 3 goes you only have a couple of weeks and you will be seeing the full playable online Beta demo so just wait and see. I think you are going to be very disappointed if you think this game is going to be anything less than near perfect.
by - 2007-02-19 16:26:09
But no rumble is it still any good

Sensible question, when you land after a big jump,drive over small rocks etc and do not feel any feedback/rumble through the pad surly it sort of takes out the fun of this sort of game?.
by - 2007-02-19 16:59:37
As expected, the insecure and desperate ...

... fanboy called Vietone has arrived. *Yawn* So what's it now V? Oh I see, it's Halo this time. *Yawn*
by - 2007-02-19 17:04:04
Well..

"With even the so called leaked video from Iraq, it still had placeholders." Why don't you go there and get a bullet in your head. At least that way you'll be doing us a favour (probably a relief for your family too).

PS Free 4 Life

You'll never catch me leaving posts in a xBox360 forum/place! nuff sed!
by Vietone - 2007-02-19 19:02:11

Ask expected from someone with no real opinion at all. While its easy to insult what others think, you have no opinion or comment on this topic at all. Call me what you want, so far nothing on the Xbox360 has shown itself to standout.

LMFAO

all of you 360 people who yap the crap about the ps3. shuuuuut uppppp!
by - 2007-02-19 21:39:22
I think

Both sides need to shut up. Best thing for PS3 owners to do when a Xbox fanatic posts something stupid is just ignore it. It's likely to be something stupid like, "XBOX RULEZZZ!!!!1!!!!" or "PS3 IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!" This about sums up 80% of the Xbox owner comments that you'll see under a PS3 article. Don't reply to these stupid comments with more stupid comments. That's just gonna get you these ridiculous back and forths as can be seen above. For instance, how the CRAP did Halo3 become involved in this?
by - 2007-02-19 21:41:27
by the way

The screens look good. Kudos to Evolution!
by - 2007-02-19 23:32:07
LOL! What a fool you are Vietone!

"Ask expected from someone with no real opinion at all." I express my opinion here all the time, but unlike you, I don't feel the STUPID need to CONSTANTLY support one console whilst CONSTANTLY bashing another like a spoilt little child. You an insecure fool who is unable to enter a topic without bashing the 360. Soon as we see your alias we know what's coming, and imo, it's sad to be so predictable. You're a waste of space. "While its easy to insult what others think, you have no opinion or comment on this topic at all." LOL! THIS TOPIC IS ABOUT MOTORSTORM you idiot, and you've expressed NO opinion or comment on THIS topic, choosing instead to focus on Halo 3. Try looking in the mirror next time befotre you talk (surely you're not THAT fat that you can't see your whole reflection?). Really Vietone, I'm asian too, and you're an embarassment to us all.
by - 2007-02-19 23:54:49
Simple answer

"how the CRAP did Halo3 become involved in this?" PS3 fanboys! It goes both ways Seoulfood, therefore ignoring people will never work, because PS3 fanboys are just as bad here, and therefore invite arguements with their anti-360 comments (that's why I really dislike Vietone, because he often turns well mannered topics into arguements whenever he enters). On all forums, as long as there are fanboys around (for ALL consoles), topics like this will usually degenerate into fanboy arguements.

all of you ps3 people who yap the crap about the 360. shuuuuut uppppp!
by - 2007-02-20 02:34:33
Nice 1

I check the comments to see what people think about motorstorm and end up reading some cr@p about halo? Just one question, WTF DOES HALO HAVE TO DO WITH MOTORSTORM??? Don't answer that by the way....I won't be back to read replys.... *sigh* why does every discussion end up a comparison between the 2 platforms - I bought a PS3, I'm not arsed/interested in 360 - give it a rest FFS people
by - 2007-02-20 02:43:10
Agreed OnetwoMany

Well said.
by - 2007-02-20 02:55:11
You may not read the replies, but I'll answer anyway...

"WTF DOES HALO HAVE TO DO WITH MOTORSTORM???" Because PS3Rider brought it into the discussion, and others like Vietone continued the attack on Halo. So blame it on PS3 fanboys (although to be fair, I'm not so sure PS3Rider is a fanboy, he's just biased).
by - 2007-02-20 06:47:17
-_-... oops my bad.

all of you 360 people who yap the crap about the ps3. shuuuuut uppppp!

Motorstorm yeah

honestly i commend the development team behind Motorstorm.I has reached seriously close to the pre-rendered trailer showed at E3 2005.Like Phil said in the interview only thing i lacks is the mud splashing in your face, but i would make for very complicated gameplay.Also heard that online is a blast so far.Oh and about H3 it was running on the engine but bungie didn't rebuild it's engine the simply updated the H2 engine they used adding shaders and whatnot.Cant wait to fire the bloody thing up though.Bring on motorstorm mate.
by - 2007-02-20 07:27:20
Motostorm page

pretty sure this page is for motorstorm guys. ie. Discuss motorstorm maybe?
by - 2007-02-20 08:16:45
Are you serious???

Really? Are you? The PS3 has all the same games for multiplatform plus one exclusive thats call of duty 2 with aliens. Give me a break and crawl back into your moms koochie, *****got. You get ANY games and come back here to talk *****.
by Mister Common Sense - 2007-02-20 10:06:42
not 'nuff said

That's 'cause you got nothing on XBOX 360. Much better online Much better game selection Interference free controller with rumble Smaller size, other components can be stacked on top Lower price and don't have to buy things you don't need New version coming soon It would be very hard to argue any "PS3 is better" BS there.
by Mister Common Sense - 2007-02-20 10:08:24
.

Why can't YOU ignore my comments Seoulfood? Obviously they are getting to you.
by Mister Common Sense - 2007-02-20 10:16:03
discussing motorstorm

Didn't Phil Harrison say something like "we had to turn down the mud because the game was unplayable?" I don't see hardly any mud in the screens, just cheezy dust effects. Also look at all the detail in the area around the track. Flat low-res landscape, wow. I even read the texture detail is noticably lower in the areas of the track that are not normally seen. Also is this the only track or do they all look the same? It's the only one I've seen screens for. This not some AAA game you've been waiting for. Just an average off road racer with no new gameplay ideas or innovation. How can anybody make a big deal about this game, it should have been a launch game!
by - 2007-02-20 11:47:47
Motion Sensing...

ok, let's discuss Mototrstorm now plz? Does anyone think that Evoluton studios will improve the motion sensing steering from the demo on the playstation store? Personally, I didn't really like it, especially with the motorcycles, let's hope Evolution improves it a little. I usually just played it with the antalog stick. Still a great game, though.

aaa

I don't ignore your comments because they are pure comic gold! I ignore comments that would rile up a 360 vs. PS3 fight that ends up proving nothing useful. But you, my friend, I love your comments. So hilarious! Constantly tickling my funny bone! The epitome of comic genius! The way you go back and forth! The way you claim to only post comments to educate the idiotic, and then you say stuff like, are you annoyed yet? are you annoyed yet? Does he mean this? Does he mean that? I t keeps me on my toes! Surely if you really stood by what you said, it would be absolutely stellar, it would improve the the caliber of enertainment at least 10 fold, but alas, you're probably just writing stuff for the general amusement of the readers here at qj. I don't know as to how anyone could get annoyed by your comments because you never actually insult anyone. You are on an endless quest to see a console fail. I hope your dreams do come true one day! But at the same time, that would mean "fin" to the genius that is the Mister Common Sense theatrics. On behalf of all of us, I thank you, Common Sense! Reply to me with something like, "OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T GET OVER MY COMMENTS!" or something. Because I can't! I truly can't!
by - 2007-02-20 21:14:08
Mister Common Sense listen to yourself.

Much better online. Sure if you want to pay money and get lag everytime someone leaves a game on Gow. I like Gow but when I play online there is an unbelievable amount of lag that you shouldn't get with an online service you have to pay for. It's not my connection either because I have taken the 360 to friends houses with COX highspeed and had the same problem. Much better game selection. Okay nearly every 360 game is a FPS or sports game and there are few good FPS. Interference free controllers with rumble. Do you own a PS3? My controller hasn't glitched at all and rumble is suddenly a must have as soon as it's gone WTF? Smaller size, other components can be stacked on top. Smaller size yes but you have that brick on the power cord and it sounds like an airplane engine in the room while the PS3 is whisper quiet. I can stack my eyetoy on top of my PS3 just fine. Lower price don't have to buy things you don't need. It just depends on what you want in a system and that's ok. New version coming soon. Because MS has to respond to the PS3. Just a little over a year after launch? Sounds like a desperation act to me. And don't use the Fanboy accusation on me because I personally like the 360 but I notice the flaws in all systems I think the PS3 has been more thought out and has less flaws.
by - 2007-02-21 05:53:07
Hmmm

"New version coming soon. Because MS has to respond to the PS3. Just a little over a year after launch? Sounds like a desperation act to me." Come on, be honest now, you know that's not truem since both the PS3 and 360 are designed to be upgraded. All the new 360 model will have (if true) is a new port (HDMI) and a bigger HDD. That's hardly an act of desperation. Don't you expect Sony to release a PS3 with a larger HDD as standard in future? Perhaps this year? Perhaps with additional improvements such as a built-in hardware scaler. Will it be an act of desperation for Sony too? Of course not. Both consoles will continue to scale up and improve as the gen progresses.
