Pure Looking Better than MotorStorm 2

Gameplayer has had a behinds closed doors look at upcoming extreme sports racer ATV declaring it to be something quite special and well worth the attention of the genre's fans.

"Putting such whinging to one side for the moment though, petrol heads and dust lovers alike should keep their eyes on this potential gem; we think it is going to be a winner."

[Silogon]

This looks better than Motorstorm and that's sad. It almost looks as good as the cg trailer Sony pawned off on us for Motorstorm but could never achieve.

A shame that Motorstorm 2 looks little more than Motorstorm with a new location. Maybe the should've made Pacific Rift a downlaodable psn game and gave us Motorstorm 2 next year when they could maybe get something out of the engine.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

...how many Discs the xBox 360 version will be on!!! ;-D
Er MotorStorm 2 is only 40% complete tho???

[syanara]

if there isnt any gameplay footage. I mean the CG trailer is all there is to motorstorm and thats not how motorstorm will look it could be better than the cg trailer or worse so who knows! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!!

[Egzekutor]

It might be better looking at the moment but Motorstorm 2 is still in the works.. and this Pure game hasnt got the climate that mototstorm2 has .. ;)

[Fishy Fingers]

Exactly, 40% is hardly close to finish.

[poos3]

HAHAH IT FUNNY HOW PS3 THINK THAT ONLY PS3 GAMES ARE PRE ALHPHA SAME WITH RES 2 FOOTAGE THAT LOOK SEVERAL GENARATIONS BEHIND GEARS OF WAR 2 FOOTAGE BOTH STARTED DEVELOPEMNT SAME TIME AND WILL BE RELEASED ON THE SAME MONTH GEARS OF WAR IS 65% compete and yes wait till he game is polished it will look almost as good as crysis also pure is not completed also so motorstorm will never catxh up same with geara of war res 2 there is no amoutn of polish that it will et to make it looks bettee than gears of war 2 which is still 65% compete i feell sorry for ps3 fans they will cry in E3.

[Dc4eVeR]

Motorstorm 2 is 40% complety ..

[MikeGdaGod]

i don't even see where they mention Motorstorm 2

[Mu5afir]

Keep that in mind, and you will laugh at the comparisons.

[Jamie Foxx]

motorstorm 2 is pre alpha why bring up a game that has 60% left to go? bring motorstorm 1 by all means,this 'lets try bash sony' attitude is ridiclous

[dhammalama]

Well maybe not complete fanboys, but you guys are being really defensive about the suggestion that something else could be better. Why not think, "I hope this IS better than motorstorm 'cause that would be REALLY #UCK'n FUN.

Motorstorm is probably my favourite racer ever, but only now because I've played it. Before it came out I was like, "This game can't be better than MY favourite game!"

And you are all saying that MS2 is only "40%" done - Did you read the article?

"Funtastic, Pure’s local distributor, dropped by the office to give us a sneak peak at some code which was about 60% towards completion… and to drink beer. Pure is an ATV offroad racer pure and simple: no bikes, no buggies, no monster trucks. The heart of the game experience lies in the Pure World Tour, a whopping 50 event (broken into Sprint, Race and Freestyle types) marathon across 10 stages, in seven real-world locations."

60%.

[sonarus]

Good for pure if they really look that good. I wouldn't count evolution studios out just yet though. They managed to pull off some amazing last min improvements on motorstorm so visuals in MS2 will get better

[micro_invader]

Thank you for being the voice of reason. Some people here are getting a bit defensive, so what if pure might look better than MS, hopefully this motivates the MS team to step up and make their game look better than it already is.

[SlappingOysters]

yeah nicely put!

I expect MotorStorm 2 to be rad, but it is good to know that Pure is coming up trumps as well. Mx vs. ATV: Untamed was absolute rubbish. Double the fun if you ask me.

[ASTAROTH]

If a game is multiplatform always looks better than the PS3 exclusive. Why? Because people like to compare and want a reason to believe the 360 games looks way better than PS3 exclusive which everybody knows its false. The last one was GRID vs GT5:Prologue!!. Keep em coming!!!

[thebudgetgamer]

ilike to call it the 50 cent school of development go after an astablished franchise to get attention for youre own brand

[Kain81]

Than its not the Winner^^

[Kain81]

BUT PURE WILL BE RELEASED SOON

Oh has Pure 4-splitscreen?.......No....
...Than you can forget it^^

[dhammalama]

It had no split screen. Did it make it suck? Sure, a little. Was it still fvcking great? Oh yeah.

[Kain81]

i will enyoy it even more^^

[dhammalama]

2 player would still be great

[devilhunterx]

sheesh. controvery and sex sells. we get it already.

[Kain81]

^^

[BulletToothtony]

can't say it looks better than motorstorm 1 thou huh.. lol

My favorite part about MotorStorm was definitely the physics, the whole time the physics felt as close to real life as it gets..

[Pp p]

pure is better

[badz149]

trying to attract attention by dissing a more popular franchise! what are really there in Pure? 4 player split screen? NO! other than ATV? NO! so, no buy from me! in fact, I hate bikes and ATV even in Motorstorm! but I love everything else offered in motorstorm. I'll skip this and wait for Motorstorm2!

[King_many_layers]

this reminds me of Killzone: the halo killer.

They are placing a hype on this game now, which isn't going to fair so well for it in the end.

[King_many_layers]

ok, so I'm getting disagrees, understandable if you don't agree with the fact that I THINK, yes that's my opinion, something that you can't say I don't think, that Pure is being hyped a little too much against Motorstorm 2.

It COULD, NOT will, but COULD go badly for the game, it's all I'm saying.

[badz149]

I didn't disagree with you neither did I talked about an exclusives poking on exclusive from other console! Pure is multiplat and maybe it'll do well on 360 but on PS3? not so much, I think because most of PS3 owners' interest is locked on on Motorstorm2! come on, why would anyone play a game with only ATV when there'll be another GREAT game which will give you more varieties of vehicles? it's simple logic!

[Lord Anubis]

like grid?

[badkolo]

exactly.

grid is better then gt,forza and pgr

lets wate for this pure game to be released before we judge agaimst it and same goes for motorstorm

[shine1396]

did you say grid is better then gt,forza and pgr? Generally speaking critically/sales wise and general debate don't class grid with those ones...maybe you mean't for yourself?

[Bob Dole]

Bob Dole thought Grid (demo) was a waste of time and hard drive space. GTP though, that game is pure gold. Too bad it's ridiculously hard though.

[WIIIS1]

No surprise there. Motorstorm was never much of a looker.

[Whoooop]

lol

[VMAN_01]

Right now It might look slightl better but come on its only ATV's motorstorm's got the complete package. Trucks, cars bikes etc

[ar]

As already stated MS2 is far from finished. The comparison is useless.
Also it wont matter anyway if the gameplay sucks. If MS1 is any indication MS2 will have awesome gameplay. Pure's gameplay on the other hand is pretty much unknown at the moment.

[Fishy Fingers]

Edited: Thanks Super, completely missed that.

Still funny how MS2 isn't even mentioned in the preview, guess that headline was purely to grab attention (Worked o_O).

ps... I read the whole thing but that one line :/

[Superfragilistic]

Ah Fishy the title of the article is.

"Pure: Pure looking better than MotorStorm 2"

Just click the link. :)

EDIT:

@Fishy

Yeah it worked a treat! lol

Stupid comparison.

[GVON]

the only reason I won't get pure is the lack of bukes.

[peksi]

That outta give Motorstorm guys something to chew. Likely this results in better outcome from Motorstorm 2 and better results from Pure aswell. Who wants to be a loser?? *waiting for hands to rise*

[power of Green]

Pure is going to be better like GRID is with most its competition.

GRID/PURE=New hotness

PGR4/GT5=Old and busted or in MS2's case not good enough

It will be some dumb loyalist mind set from many that will being yelling number of cars vs talking about revolutionary gameplay and new levels of fun not seen in the genre in years new games bring.

[Fishy Fingers]

Remind me, what's "revolutionary" about GRID/Pure? One of which you havent even played. Little early for even you to claim such a wild remark.

[power of Green]

I mean come on the loyalist use number of cars as an excuse, the reviewers dock GRID for it(its a AAA game that deserves 9.7 to 10 arcoss the board). Even if the devs had 3 more years to get licences for *full damage, really trully full damage* and fleah out the way each car handles (as they did in grid) for 350 to 450 more cars its unlikely the game would be out within the next few years so why downplay what GRID is when it does racing better.

I hope Pure isn't attacked because it challanges a PS3 exlcusive.

[PoSTedUP]

even if this PURE game looks better graphically, motorstorm2 will be 15 times more intence than PURE. pure looks good from the trailers, but from what i herd i think from the devs, its not my kind of game.

its mainly about ramps, jumps and tricks. they said you will be in the air more than half of the game. no thank you. the game looks awesome though.

motorstorm2 is going to be vicious SOn!

@ pog- there is a big difference between an arcade racer and a racing sim.

sure GRID is fun and exciting, but gt5 is for people who like realistic car physics, i cant wait to see what they do with the car damage modeling. hitting the wall in gt5 is dumb with out it.

GRID is for people who dont like to use the break much. and like the car to turn with ease. and like good car damage modeling.

gt5 like i said is for people who like realistic car physics in a game.

[power of Green]

I dissagreed because When I played MS it was slow and floaty and not intense thats just one of the reasons why I dsisagreed.

[PoSTedUP]

well play it again cause its not slow, it might be floaty when you hit a big jump but over all its the most intence off road dirt racer thats out right now. im telling you play it again, its crazy intence, thats why i love it, it puts any other dirt racer to shame, awesome graphics too.

[hideo kojima]

I tried MS and felt like i was driving on moon. No gravitational forces. Useless POS game like MGS4 which i made on ps2 and ported to even worse ps3.

[power of Green]

Grid's damage modeling and visual effects are so advanced I had a piece of body work haning from my frame on my LAMBO and Sun light was reflecting off of it shining on the pavement in the shape of the piece of body work when I replayed the race the light from the hanging piece was reflecting on the pavemnt still and on other cars that got close, the physics in the game are great in their own rights too.

No game created has the sense of mortality and sense of danger or the feeling of success when you master the cars in grid each with very different handling and build strenths.

Don't just play the demo the demo is nothing compared to the full version.

If you need to play games with ultra real car physics play Forza 2 if you wan't to play a game that does what the other do all in one in some cases surpasses their strenths in other racersz; Sim and arcade alike play Grid.

Freebies for GRID:

*Make sure you tap on the brakes repeatedly do not slam on the brakes all the time, use the pressure sensitve anolog trigger too on sharp turns when you need to do more than tapp brakes on mild turns.

*Use the pressure sensitve anolog trigger in turns after braking do not slam the gas untill your car is out of the skid and your car is pointed in the right direction.

The info is for the Xbox controller you may need a fresh controller to get the most out of the game.

[PoSTedUP]

well, you can swap engines in forza2 and have a lil bit of damage, but talking "car physics" forza2 isn't as accurate as gt5. i think forz2 overall is better than gt5 but when it comes to realistic car handling gt5 gots it down packed. i like gt5 better, and gt5 for a fact "will" be better "IF" you can swap engines and have better car damage. but for right now forza2 has most of the package.

[Bolts]

I can tell just by looking at the screenshots, they clearly missed their mark if they want to beat Motorstorm. Go ahead and look at those screenshots and tell me what you see. Thats right, CLEAN riders and ATVs catching big air and doing tricks. Thats an auto fail.

Motorstorm isn't about any of that. Autostorm is about mud and destruction. Nobody do tricks in Motorstorm because they're too busy trying not to blow up, and it doesn't matter how good Motorstorm 2 looks because 60 seconds after the race the everyone will covered in grime and mud. Thats what makes Motorstorm a badass racer.

Pure on the other hand looks as clinical as a Disneyland ride. The game is too generic, it lacks an attitude which Motorstorm has in spades.

[7h3ultim8p00]

So this game already got completed and came out and you bought it and played it right? Right? Typical sony fanboy.

[power of Green]

I almost for got if you are judging GRID's handling off of the demo or what previwers said or even a couple of reviewers when it comes to the supposed *twitchy handling* its a myth Codemasters have either fixed that in the retail version or made the demo like that to appeal to casuals.
Grid has stellar handling the over the hood view is the best and seems to give a forza like feel.

[PoSTedUP]

ill take a racing sim over an arcade racer any day. but thats just me.

i think if NFS pro street had grids car damage, then that would be the perfect arcade racer right there.

and if gt5 was as customizable as forza2 then that too would be the perfect racing sim.

edit: i wasnt the one who disagreed with you.

[Bazookajoe_83]

I havent kept up to date on this game, but i think i rather go with motorstorm 2. It´s hard to get the adrenalin kick you get when you play a motorstorm game. But if pure releases a demo ill give it a try..

[Bad_Karma]

Both games will be great BUT very different styles so buy which ever interests you the most as and when they are released .

STOP WHINING ...START PLAYING

[Lionsguard]

Pure and Motorstorm are 2 completely different types of racing games. Pure is an ALL-ATV game while Motorstorm is the "Get the hell out of my way you damn bike or else I'm going to crush you beneath my buggy!! OH SH- theres a monster truck behind me!!!, ARRggHH *explodes*" type of game. Does it matter if this game looks better than MS2? Besides MS2 is still months away from completion.

[Pp p]

Pure will be better than motorstorm 2

[ppp]

motorstorm 2 will be better than Pure

[Egzekutor]

We dont know exactly which title will be better. We have to wait and see and stop with the fuking fan boy comments , cause they are makin me angry.. the more sh1t i see over here the more i dislike both consoles..

When the game comes out we will see.. for now both title look good from the screenshots..

[badkolo]

yes grid is better then all those games i mentioned, its not a full sim its full arcade but it has the best sense of speed, an the ai is increible and the graphics are better then pgr or forza to me , i dont need 400 cars nor do i care to tune my car.

[Syronicus]

As much as I do Off Road Buggies and Dirt Bikes. This game seems to be the cross platform answer to MS2 but it is not anything like Motorstorm 2. I like some ATV games but can't seem to shake the desire to get back to Motorstorm and I cannot wait to get into MS2!

[vhero]

xbox fanboys are jealous of motorstorm so of course they are gonna say any game remotely like it on thier system whether multi plat or not is better this is more silly talk Motorstorm 2 aint even 1/2 way done yet.

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

There is no way this cross platform game will match the details the physics,the lushness of a Bluray original exclusive Cell/RSX based game.

NO WAY
When I played Heavenly Sword on the PS3 I realized that there is no way a PC engine DVD based game can compare to this level!!!!

Stop with the Cross Platform crap go away Grid and all that PC crap go away!!!!!

[7h3ultim8p00]

See? This is just ONE MORE reason why Sony fanboys are NOT gamers.

Seriously, what is wrong with a game surpassing Motorstorm 2? Why are you throwing a hissy fit? Are you thereby saying that you don't want any racing game to surpase Motorstorm 2? That you don't want progress in the videogame industry?

Seriously. Do us a favor and shut up. Sony fanboys play consoles, not games.
