MotorStorm: Pacific Rift - Image 1Version 1.03 update is now out for Evolution Studios' MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, and this one should set you for the upcoming Expansions. To download, just connect to the PSN, insert the disc to run the game, and accept the download when prompted. Do note that if you want to gain access to the online sections of the game, you will have to get this download.

As for the goodies in this update bag, you can expect to find improvements and fixes to the game, thanks to the issues reported by several members of the MS Forum.
  • Microbadges – Secret Microbadges unlocked.
    The hidden Microbadges are no longer a mystery: check them out from the Microbadges screen in your Garage.
  • PlayStation Home – ‘Game LaunchingÂ’ now available.
    Online races can be launched from PlayStation Home.
  • Audio Settings – Preference order is now DTS followed by AC3.
    DTS audio settings are automatically configured if available.
  • Audio Settings – Vehicle horn volume control added.
    Volume of vehicle horns can now be adjusted using a dedicated sliding scale.
  • Garage – Competition Winners Gallery added.
    A Gallery for photo competition winners can be viewed from your Garage.
  • Speed Events – Gate visibility improved.
    Not only are the next two gates now visible (instead of only the next one), the colour of the flares at each gate have changed to make the Speed Events a little easier: orange smoke on the left and yellow smoke on the right.
  • Speed Events – Gate ‘passedÂ’ issue fixed.
    When playing in standard definition, the issue with some gates not registering as ‘passed’ has been fixed.
  • Split-screen – 4-player Split-screen lock-up fixed.
    A potential lock-up situation, occasionally caused by leaving a 4-player split-screen race, has been fixed.
  • Online Racing – “Never-ending (zero lap) races” fixed.
    Races will no longer begin with (and remain infinitely at) zero laps; a problem which affected various online races since Update 1.02.
  • Online Racing – All 12 positions displayed in race results.
    Since Update 1.02, only the top 8 positions were displayed at the end of a race. This is fixed and all 12 results are displayed at the end of the race.
  • Online Rankings – Rank cap increased.
    In order to alleviate the congestion at the top of the Leaderboard the rank cap has been increased.
  • Online Leaderboards – PlayerÂ’s stats added.
    You can now view any playerÂ’s stats from any of the Leaderboards in the game, and compare them with your own.
  • Online Matchmaking – “Searching for Matchmaking” screen fixed.
    The “Searching for Matchmaking” message no longer overlaps, as it did in certain languages.
  • Soundtrack – Track previews added.
    Highlighting a track on the playlist (from the Soundtrack screen in the Options menu) will play the track.
  • Soundtrack – Track details added to Pause Screen.
    The artist and song title of the track being played are displayed on the Pause Screen.

LOL

I had one of those 0 lap races once that never ended. We messed around on the track until the clock maxed out at an hour. XD



LOL They added a horn volume control. The horn volume was too quiet in both games.

Good but...

I wish we can have custom soundtracks during online play.

...

I have a feeling there is a good reason why there isn't. I mean, they put it in offline play. They would have let you use it in online play if there wasn't some sort of issue.
