In IGN's latest hands on with Motorstorm 2 at E3 they had praise for Evolution Studios:
When IGN last saw MotorStorm: Pacific Rift at Sony's Judge's Day back in May, it was very early and didn't look good. It ran very poorly, there were constant graphical glitches, and it looked like Evolution Studios had a long, long and perhaps impossible road ahead of itself to prepare the game for release sometime this year.
Only two months later, the game is fun as hell, runs great and looks awesome. They're amazed at studio has come so far so quickly, but this is the sequel to MotorStorm that I've been waiting to see since the original's release.
It's also worth noting that they were able to play a split-screen race and the game handled everything extremely well. Visual parity between a single and split-screen race will have to be checked out at a later time when I'm able to repeat the same area multiple times, but what they saw was rather impressive.
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is currently slated to ship with 16 tracks, and will feature Trophy support and… wait for it… custom soundtracks. There's no firm release date yet, but we should see it sometime before the end of the year.
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 🙌🏻🤣

Poor Heavy Rain lol that game was and is a pile. Emulation sounds cool though - Res. Evil 3 and Directors Cut all the way.
So games run at 10 fps and graphical glitches not seen since pcsx2 in 2003,.. I will get there someday.
FEAR TEH MONSTAR TRUCK!!!!! , on a serious note, this is the ultimate competition to burnout, just that you go off roading though. both games are sweet
my most anticipated game.
...my most wanted title on PS3, haha. Too many great games coming.
If ever a game needed custom music is is Motorstorm. Some of the worst, if not the worst, music ever heard by the human ear. It is litterally ear infection waiting to happen.
here's a snipt for you all:
I don't care
I don't care
I don't ..... care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't..... care
You can breath or you can bleed or you can take it between the knees
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't... care
you can see me jerking off, in my sleep and around the clock I don't stop until I have shot
but ...
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
i don't... care
Cause I take it the shorts and smoke all your joints, play $#*TY music just to annoy
I don't ... care.
That is one song from Motorstorm. Just to let you all in on what you're not missing.
16 tracks are much much better than the 8 tracks in the first one
if you play the game a lot , you will get bored fast with only 8 tracks
so doubling the number of tracks is a very smart move
