Destructoid's Robert Summa, surely en route to scope out Tickle Me Extreme Elmo's to shill on eBay this holiday season, got some footage and photo snaps of the freshly installed PlayStation 3 kiosk at the flagship Toys "R" Us in Times Square. The video shows that the kiosks are equipped with (at the very least) a Motorstorm demo, but not all are currently operational.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣
MotorStorm debuted on PlayStation 3 15 years ago today (in Europe), and remains one of the format's best alternative racing games.
Ahhh motorstorm....i still have the reveal trailer back in my mind from e3 2006 or 5 i think...ps3 never manage to par the gameplay trailer back then but the game especially the first one for me was AWESOME....I m sure that ps5 is capable to give us now this kind of fidelity....for me motorstorm and daytona usa 2 in arcades still is my favorites arcade racer ever....
Bought the 60gb PS3 with motorstorm and my first 720p/1080i TV on the release day, great memories. Oh the mud!
Real shame this franchise fell by the wayside. With todays tech it would/could be such a great open world arcade racer.
The first Motorstorm was good, but Pacific Rift blew it out of the water IMO. Still one of my favourite arcade racing games of all time. I also really liked Apocalypse, despite the Supercars and Superbikes being OP compared with the other vehicle classes.
Mororatoem 1 was excellent the visuals and everything had a really good vibe about it. If they remade that with a festival type open world... If only
I'm going right now!!!!! 2 blocks away baby!!! I love TSQ!
Everybody was having a great time around the kiosk. The PS3s in the glass were only shows, the real machines were tucked away.
I wasnt able to verify if they were using HDMI. For one there are video composites on the side of the TV, but thats typical, and its possible their using other composites behind the casing using the cable Sony supplies with the PS3.
My other idea is that HDMIs are expensive, but who knows Sony threw a Bravia in there so why not the HDMI...
In any case, people enjoyed Motorstorm and NBA07, NBA07 didnt look as great as I imagined.. the game needs alot of work in my opinion. Or... EA gets off its pig hide and actually starts.. you know.. making games, because this porting 'ish makes games look like 'ish.
Motorstorm was awesome.. Nobody could control the freaking thing with the Sixaxis. (The freaking thing was a DirtBike, alot more sensitive steering than the cars) Until I stepped to the plate and actually got through some laps with minimal airtime off cliffs.
Some of the kids there were frustrated with it however.. they like "I dont get this S#1t..." and walked away... I thought, with the wii and ps3 motion sensing players are going to need some patience to learn play... OR you can be a REAL freakin gamer like me and just pwn. ;P
The Sixaxis was light, NOT flimsy. It felt Solid but light... its strange, my brain has a hard time forgetting the feeling.
The R+L'2s were something to get used to, they were rubbery and extended. It felt like you were holding a rubber trigger that would break if you pressed too hard. I tried pressing it hard, and of course it didnt, it just feels that way. But you get used to it very fast.
Final notes, the thing is a beauty, it extremely sexy, the chrome trims shines brightly and the thing is BIG.
I salute those who are able to get one on launch.
