Pure Looking Better than MotorStorm 2

Momentum continues to grow for offroad racer Pure. Gameplayer's hands-on impressions with the game are strong, and suggest that it could top MotorStorm for best in genre 2008.

"It looks next-gen, too. There is something very naturalistic about the environments and tracks: it's not hyper realised like SSX, but more akin to something like Test Drive: Unlimited… as in, what it would look like if you just pulled out of the garage on an ATV and pounded out into the forest."

[Fishy Fingers]

Looks are one thing, gameplay is another. From what I've seen of Pure the majority of your time is spent jumping or pulling ridiculous tricks like backflip heelclickers on a quad. That's not my idea of an off road RACER. I might pick Pure up if my mates do or it gets incredibly good reviews but as I'm looking for a racing game this doesnt look close to providing the felling that MS does so well.

[anh_duong]

remember seeing the same comments regarding dirt vs motorstorm 1.. and we all know how that turned out..

pure does not have split screen and as much interaction with gaming objects.. how many vehicles and how big the tracks are in pure? in motorstorm one the tracks were massive - not just length but breadth also..

[TheExecutive]

i will reserve all judgement until i get a closer look at motorstorm. I played the original the other day and it still looks fantastic. I have a hard time believing that MS2 wont be a great improvement upon the first.

[Idonthatejustcreate]

I really hope this forces the developers of Motorstorm 2 to make atleast around 20 maps so it secures thier lead infront of Pure.

12 maps is not nearly enough imo.

[boodybandit]

Pure is a "pure" arcade racer on ATV's while pulling off tricks to build your meter to pull off more tricks. There is no depth to it. I would never pay full price for a game that shallow. I might pick it up when it drops in price or from an online auction if the price is right.

[Jamie Foxx]

has submitted this article to create flame,because no where in the pure Preview do gameplayer mention motorstorm or suggest it looks better than motorstorm,so how did this get approved with such a MISLEADING title?

[GamerMan]

Open the article.. at the very top he pulled the title from the article.. can't blame slapping oyster.

I will enjoy Pure but I really wonder if it will be better than Motorstorm... and just a suggestion please quit using MS for Motorstorm... MS (Microsoft) has been using that a whole lot longer than Motorstorm could ever.

I persoanlly believe the depth of Motorstorm 2 will definitely be a better all around game than Pure will be but the old ATV off road Fury in me says I need to get this game. :P

Pure looking better than MotorStorm 2

Written by: Chris Stead | 6/17/2008 10:59:33 AM "

...this article is an old article and won't be as accurate with the details that are known today. So therefore it would be a moot point discussing the articles points.

[Kleptic]

yeah people...this was written when the only shown version of Motorstorm 2 was from Sony's Gamer Day...in which people were pretty underwhelmed, and a lot questioned if it would even release this fall...

Then E3...which was July...it clearly illustrated that its the off road racing game to beat visually...Pure looks good, don't get me wrong...but watch up to date videos of both...and you'll see how far Motorstrom 2 has come since June...

[radio0o]

I agree completely and yet I still think MotorStorm 2 looks better than Pure visually. Gameplay wise there is just no comparison, MotorStorm 2 is the funner game by miles.

[Forbidden_Darkness]

@GamerMan: MS stands for MotorStorm, while M$ stands for Micro$oft.

[dantesparda]

This article is super flame bait! Its super-old! This article came out when Motorstorm was in a much earlier state. Since then, the visuals have improved greatly on the game, and yet here we have this old a$$ article, that came out months ago on here just to start some sh!t. Oh, fanboys, when will it ever end?

[TheColbertinator]

I'm surprised Disney is making games like these now.

[Kenny_Roger]

why ??

you shouldn't be surprised ... flops are every where but , they are more common on the PS3

[thereapersson]

Tell that to MS's JRPG lineup. Or maybe you'd like to have a word with Too Human?

You're a douchebag...

[I_am_a_gangsta]

Of course..... Motorsport 1.5 is a JOKE!

[Common Sense]

Forza Motorsport 3 looks just like Forza Motorsport.

If so, then you are an idiot.

[falviousuk]

Just had a quick blast with the 360 demo version and it was very good. Track length is quite long on the track provided. And there are several paths you can take. Graphics are excellent, no screen tear and slow downs evident. Saw one tree pop in high up on a hill, but that was all i noticed.
The riders clothes flutter in the wind, and gets muddier as they race around.
Tracks are left in the mud but seem to do nothing the the actual track like sega rally.

controls are good, speed is just right for the type of vehicle being driven. sadly only quads are in the game but can be customised (not in demo)
16 riders offline and online supported. Demo only offers offline play. on one track.

Overall its a very good off road game in the motorstorm mould.

[THC CELL]

No chance it will be better than MS2
The game is not completed yet

all i will say is will see

[remanutd55]

i agreed with you the cell, motorstorm is the king of brutal off racing genre this generation heck i dont even think it has competition but if pure turns out to be as good as motorstorm or better then it would be good for us but i seriously doubt it, motorstorm is coming back with the same formula plus splitscreen and more maps oh did i mention MONSTER TRUCKS!!!!!!!! if you guys stand in my way in online mode you r going to get crunched, see you online
oh btw im so getting Qore today just for motorstorm2 demo

[CaptainHowdy]

isn't the pure demo being released today??? A bit of a difference, MS2 still has room for improvement

[Ju]

I agree. Motorstorm is just a different game. I have Dirt and Sega Ralley. But as soon as you fire up Motorstorm you feel something else. No game gets even close. Its not just another off road game. Physics and destruction are major points in Motorstorm, so are vehicles, and the balance between those e.g. light vehicles ride high up tracks, heavy vehicles drive on muddy roads low down. If a truck hits your bike (or ATV) you can start praying. Adds a complete new level of challenge to the game when you try to win a mixed race with an ATV against a truck. I don't see how Pure can be even compared, except the ATVs might look pretty.

[remanutd55]

couldnt said it better myself man, you nailed it, i've just tried pure demo the game does look good indeed but it aint motorstorm, all you do is tricks in the air im sorry but i thought it would bring that excitement that motorstorm brings to the table, i dont see ps3 onwers loving pure that much when motorstorm2 is about to come out.

[Kleptic]

read above people...this article is from June...pacific rift looked like trash at Sony's gamer day...and ran like trash...then follow it up through the german convention...it easily handed every other arcade racing game their hat...

http://www.gametrailers.com...

no point in arguing...pure looks decent...but the PR is giving even GT5 prologue a run for photorealism...case closed...don't believe me?...1:18-1:21 on that trailer...that truck tearing through the shallow water looks almost real...and that is in game...

[great games]

i wont be around to enjoy it but i would watch the aftermath=). I can see it now, power of green posting something that will makes him look stupid, get like 50+ disagree's but will still have 5 bubbles.

[great games]

how did i get 4 bubbles?

[chanto23]

LOL Bubbles +

[yanikins111]

ditto. it was so true ;)

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

Yeah like the xBot Lemming N00B's on this said 'Race Driver:GRID' on the xBox 360 looked better than Gran Turismo 5:Prologue!!! BLIND F00LS!!! ;-D

They need to go to -

http://www.specsavers.co.uk...

;-D

[farhsa2008]

keep dreaming, motorstorms OWNS this game

[badz149]

so true! PS3 owners are not going to agree and most will prefer Motorstorm 2 than this multiplat late-to-the-offroad-party game! there's no other racing game that have the diversity offered by Motorstorm, at least not yet! a game with only 1 type of vehicle is better than the all-around Motorstorm? yeah, right! what's next? BAJA will also be better? sigh!

[InMyOpinion]

You know this because you have played both? Or is it just because Motorstorm 2 is a PS3 exclusive that you assume it will be better?

[VF34EJ25]

@Jenzo

Because Motorstorm 1 was actually a good and very polished game. Though missing some features like Splitscreen and other issues like needing more track variety.

Now MS2 brings the best of MS1, and more. More tracks, 4 player splitscreen, more environment interactions, different strategies with boosting, more vibrant and polished graphics, and MONSTER TRUCKS that could oblierate anything in it's path.

Even if this game was multiplatform, it would still be good. But being a PS3 exclusive just means it's polished to a mirror shine.

If you weren't so biased, you would see that.

[InMyOpinion]

"But being a PS3 exclusive just means it's polished to a mirror shine.

If you weren't so biased, you would see that."

Polished to a mirror shine like Lair or Haze?

To me Motorstorm was a 7/10. It was enjoyable but the steering was too sluggish and your vehicle exploded too easily.

How can you know that Pure isn't as polished as Motorstorm 2 when you haven't played any of them? If anyone is biased it is you. I'm just saying we'll have to wait and see. Until then it's just meaningless speculation.

[Ju]

What ? You have guts to put Motorstorm in the same context as Lair and Haze. Seriously.

[Kleptic]

yeah Motorstorm 1 was not perfect...but sluggish steering jenzo?...maybe the mud and dirt had something to do with that...

the gameplay of motorstorm is still way ahead of the pack...it was the delivery of the content that pulled the game down to a merely acceptable level...no split screen...a very weak single player layout (not gameplay wise, but the ticket system instead of a real 'campaign' was pretty broken)...

but the track where great...some say it didn't have enough of them, which is arguable...but the tracks were MASSIVE, each with at least 4 entirely independent routes depending on your vehicle type, some with significantly more...not to mention the game shipped with some of the best online racing in the industry...

and that is aside from the visuals...motorstorm 1 is still unmatched in terms of graphics...the physics based explosions with hundreds of parts on screen...the layer manipulation for crusted mud, that had actual geometry (you could feel the car pulling differently through ruts made in real time)...on a technical scale, the game was nearly flawless...the lighting, the physics, and the textures were all top tier...and Pacific Rift looks to be the first title to bump it off the throne...

[badz149]

I should just stick the word "opinion" in my comments from this time onwards. I'm a PS3-only owner and yes, I prefer Motorstorm2 over PURE and I will never ever buy PURE! the reason is simple; even in Motorstorm, I hate the ATV and PURE only has ATV! see? even in terms of contents being offered by both, I think Motorstorm wins hands down! PURE has a lot more tracks but probably will be a single route per track! Motorstorm2 will have 12 tracks if I'm not mistaken but this is motorstorm, where there is no exclusive route for a single tracks! your vehicle determined your best/safest/fastest route and that is what I love about Motorstorm!

What we've seen for pure are only acrobatic screenshot and that gorgeous background! so, what good is a gorgeous background to a game if it will remains as a background? but Motorstorm is different because your vehicles will actually 'interract' with the environment in various ways like you can use the water ways to cool down your booster faster and if you're driving close to larva pools, your booster will heat up fast! not to mention the terrains which will effect your driving based on what vehicles are you on! these kinds of 'interractivity' is what made Motorstorm so great and Motorstorm2 will enhance them and bring the off-road racing to a new level - not just bumpy rides and jumping cliffs!

Motorstorm2 is offering the diversity never before seen in any racing game to date! Motorstorm2 FTW!!

@jenzo: Motorstorm control is spot-on! hell I even enjoyed the SIXAXIS steering very much and I LOVE IT!

[VMAN_01]

I prefer M2 simply because its just more fun. What other game can you crush small cars and bikes with a monster truck?

[iMad]

Once upon a time then there was only 1 good FPS game and 1 good racing game on PS2 and major part of PS2 fans was RPG/Adventure etc when PS3 came.

All core PS2 gamers bought PS3 and started wait for games. They got FPS game called Ressistance. BEcause there was no games at PS3 at all they liked that trash. The same thing was with Motorstorm. Now they forget about all their PRG and games ther liked on PS2 and do favor for FPS and Motorstrom. They changed their favor because there was no other route if you own a PS3 only.

End of story.

[tangerine]

Wow you really are a dumb sad sack of sh1t.
Obviously never played it.
Obviously a dumb sack of sh1t.
I'm being Harsh, but fair. You F A I L.

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

Lets get one thing straight those RPG PS2 fans are sitting on the sidelines waiting with PSP's in hand for that 500 dollar PS3 to drop to 199.00 bottom line period.
There are over 100 million PS3 fans waiting for their RPG's, but also for the price to drop I know about 5 people who are on PC's and PSP's waiting for the price of the PS3 to drop.Drooling but like I said before Sony better start thinking about that market before it bust..

[SmokingMonkey]

so your lame story could say the same thing about the 360 going rpg and away from FPS

isn't gaers1 the best game on 360 TPS, and look at all the jrpg's you have now, keep trying to win over japan 360 it will never work because they don't buy anything over 17% defective.

[juuken]

Lol, @ you spelling Resistance wrong.

Resistance was an awesome game for a launch title dear.

I know, I know you're jealous.

It's okay.

[Solid_Snake666]

imad go suck a nut

[predator]

Oh god..a multiplatform game can not look better than a PS3 exclusive...its just not possible

[Firstkn1ghT]

A lot of games look better than Motorstorm 2. Motorstorm is not the pinnacle of graphics folks.

[Fishy Fingers]

No that's Heavy Rain but I don't think it's really fair to compare the two ;)

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

Love the Avatar, if memory serves me correct that would be the sludge monster from night of the living dead 2 (I'm sort of a horror fanatic)

Anyways, getting back to the topic at hand, I'm not sold at all on Pure. The vehicle models look a little rough around the edges if you ask me. The one thing that is so awesome about Motorstorm is the way there are 100 parts that come flying off your vehicle.

Motorstorm 2 also has a lot more settings, snowy, desert, tropical, volcano, etc. Your just not d!ckin around in a forest.

[Firstkn1ghT]

Actually my avatar is the Tar-Man from Return of the Living Dead with a small appearance in part 2. The greatest zombie movie ever made.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm a big horror/zombie fan so you know I'm ecstatic about Left 4 Dead.

[yanikins111]

ill keep motorstorm thanks.

i remember looking at the track record of the developers.

enough said.

[pp]

Hahahahahaha i am for sure getting pure now and good buy to my pre-order for motorstorm 2

[PirateThom]

Why would you pre-order Motorostorm 2 if you don't have a PS3?

You sure are a dumb bot, that's twice you've pre-ordered PS3 games without owning the system.

[chrisnick]

just do us all a favor and snipe his bubbles.

[Common Sense]

I agree Motorstorm 2 is a good buy and an excellent one.

[SmokingMonkey]

so enjoy!

judging by your Banjo Kazooie avatar, you must love disney

and yes i have an LBP avatar, so before you say anything i will let you in on a little secret, LBP is what you make of it. Demons, Blood anything goes in LBP (it's not just vehicles lol)

I hope you will DL my RRoD level Series i'm going to publish in LBP.
In the end, SackBoy teabags Master chief. XD

[thereapersson]

Every time he sees a preview for a game that says it will supposedly "beat a PS3 exclusive title in X department", he always says "i'm canceling my pre-order!", like he forgets that we know he DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A PS3!

What a liar.

[bbelly9320_]

just like videogamer.com, they'll quickly grasp any opportunity to bash a PS3 game.

[whatis]

I will look foward to comparing the demos myself.

I think you have to pay for the Motorstorm 2 demo though since it only comes with that Qore thing.

[farhsa2008]

what? i didnt know that...damn i wish i could play motorstorm 2, how much do you have to pay for the subscriptions? and is it worth it?

[whatis]

This will be my first time buying Qore actually.

I don't think you have to subscribe. You can just buy a single issue and last I checked it costs under $10 US?.

It reminds me of the days back when I used to have to buy PS1 & PS2 magazines so that I could get the demo discs.

It's not as if I have been missing those days though..

[kspraydad]

If you want the MS2 demo earlier, Qore is providing a demo with their magazine due out today.

A single issue is $2.99 on the PSN.

[Goldsack]

..the ONLY One who have a Story to tell..is BIGGIE not u!!!

[iMad]

Does he have a patent to exclusivly tell us stories? :)

[Sez]

actautlly the best rap story teller is. slick rick or cool g rap. but that may be before your time. but IMAD that was a good story.

[HelghastGeneral]

It does not look better than motorstorm 2 the boards are half the size and there aren't as many vehicles. It also has the same animation as a 360 last generation game meanwhile motorstorm 2 has smooth realistic motion like granturismo 5. Xbox360 games may look good in pictures however they all move like last generation. Playstation 3 games however look good in pictures and move with realistic motion and animation.

Blue ray won and ps3 is winning just look at hd dvd they kept reducing the price until it was a $100. Now look at xbox 360 they keep reducing the price until now its $200 do you see a pattern? I do its called LOSER!

[iMad]

Remember this:
Blue Ray can only improve gameplay time. Not GFX.

GFX depends ONLY from GPU and CPU. PS3 has last gen GPU. Cell to complex to help GPU in every game. we will see only 3 or 4 games on PS3 which will use full PS3 potential.

PS3 has less GPU RAM available and weaker GPU. And cost 5 times more money to develop.

Jump in - don't beleive in PR bullshit.

[Sez]

really. then that makes sony the biggest LOSER as you put it. MS had 2 price drop within 3 years. the ps3 had 2 price drops in it's first year. wouldn't that make sony the biggest LOSER as per your logic. since they are rumored to have another or are you the LOSER. see a pattern. i do

[PirateThom]

Well, so far, there's been NO games on the 360 that use its full potential since all the best games use a multiplatform engine (Unreal).

[Common Sense]

You really are stupid.
The RSX has access to 512mb of memory; half of which is a 3.2ghz XDR memory.
The RSX is more powerful than Xenos but less flexible and efficient. Blu-Ray CAN affect graphics because you can store lots of high-res textures without worrying about space.

[pixelsword]

- RSX is custom-built for the PS3, there is no "last-gen" in terms of it's existence, you would have to look at it's performance, which would be difficult because...

- The Cell Processor works in tandem with RSX, which give it graphical capabilities beyond what the 360 can do, plus improves it's overall rendering quality because not everything has to be rendered on the RSX, which frees-up memory and resources on the RSX

- BD, in it's own way, can improve graphical quality. BD's can hold more High-Resolution textures, which *wait for it* allows the console to display them because they can actually fit on the disc. So yeah, if the textures can't fit because of size restrictions, then it doesn't matter what the console can or can't do (ask John Carmack, who said the PS3 version or RAGE will look better if MS doesn't fork over the cash to put it on another disc).

-As far as (sic) "Cell to complex to help GPU in every game. we will see only 3 or 4 games on PS3 which will use full PS3 potential. "

The Devs who made CoD4, Lair, MGS4, Heavenly Sword, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, and other games didn't seem to have a problem. Also, with more experience of people who had troubles making games their experience will allow them to improve games far beyond what the 360 can do.

[sak500]

Hahahh @ pixel

RSX is custom built for ps3. Sony were hyping cell so much and thought that they woudn't need a dedicated gpu as cell would do the rendering as well. Turns out 6months before the launch they coudn't render $hit so went to nvidia as MS had already ATI for 360, and asked them to give them a gpu. SO nvidia at that time having 7xxx series hastly made a 7800 kind of gpu and gave them to sony. Since cell is totaly different than the x86 architecture so that gpu has lot of issues with the cell. And here we are having 3 generations ahead in pc cards from nvidia. END OF STORY..

[byeGollum]

the title says , pure is ''looking'' better than Motorstorm ... meaning as of right now Pure is pretty much complete ? .. while the last time motostorm 2 was shown it was like 40% complete ... theres no way in hell Pure will look better than the final build of Motorstorm 2

[Vip3r]

Articles like these are retarded. Until Motorstorm is finished, we should wait then to see what has better grahpics. But even then graphics aren't what the games are about.

[Goldsack]

no..but he brought his Stories much smoother than u...

[shysun]

6/17/08 before the last showing of MS. Read the previews and they all say MS was come along way since E3.

[sajj316]

reserve judgement for release build versus release build comparisons!

[Pixel_Addict]

They are only trying to deminish PS3 exclusives and not fair. Motostorm has more vehicle options, destructible and interactive environments and much more than just pretty graphics.

[Raoh]

Motorstorm 2 (Reserved)

Pure (On gamefly rental que)

[felidae]

Motorstorm 2 owns Pure

[Master of Unlocking]

There's a motorstorm 2 playable demo coming with today's qore mag? Are you guys serious? Do you have to subscribe to qore, or just get today's issue in order to have access to the MS2 demo? Does anybody know whether it works for us in Europe too (if we can purchase stuff off the US Store)?

[badkolo]

i played pure and while its a great game and its preordered , it is more like hydro thunder on atv's and its similiar to MS but its not MS.

The gameplay is welll balanced, controls are easy and you need to know when to do tricks and when to boost so you dont waste one or another.

Now my gripe with pure was that while the game looks pretty there would be some trees and other objects that looked like things from the n64 days. There would be trees made from pixels and other objects wherent finished and i dont think becuase its a demo i think they are not finished becuase your suppose to be racing and not stopping to look so they cheesed on a few things.

either way i cant wait for pure and more so MS2

[sonyfanonly]

well we all know how games like pure turn out aggravating as F@#% they give you a time limit to get back in the race were as MOTORSTORM you decide which road to take MOTORSTORM is the best pick of any off road racer

[InMyOpinion]

That's what I said also. From what I've seen of both games Pure looks better. Some people will go "No it's impossible because it's a multiplat game!" and that's ok =)

[VF34EJ25]

It's just you're 360 biased so anything that is a PS3 game you will be against it.

[InMyOpinion]

And since you are PS3 biased everything that's PS3 exclusive is number 1 in your eyes.

I'm judging from videos I've watched of both games. It's possible that Pure was further in development than Motorstorm 2, so it's better to wait with comparisons until the final versions are released.

[gdguide]

I have an idea. Let's compare a racer with lame crashes, the vehicles are all the same, and the levels look fake.

Yes, there are some visual advantages to Pure in terms of number of trees and so on, but just having a game with all the same vehicles, same physics, lame crashes, just hanging air time? Motorstorm is pulling off wayyyyy more than Pure. Not even close really.

[timmyrulz]

Yeah but it cant look better than Motorstorm, x360 cant do graphics as good as motorstorm, Sony told me

[xfrgtr]

REPOST http://www.n4g.com/News-158... 79 DAYS AGO FROM THE SAME CONTRIBUTOR SlappingOysters

[DFresh]

Yeah right I saw both games in action and played them and Motorstorm 2 kills Pure in roads racing.
Whoever came up w/ this article is either an Xbot or just jealous that a master piece like Motorstorm 2 isn't coming to your console.

[MvmntInGrn]

lol who cares about opinions from Gameplayer?

Pure looks good but ATV games are useless in my opinion, they should be one class of many, not the main event. ALSO does Pure have 4-player splitscreen? If not then Motorstorm is definitely better on the technical side, it supports 4-player splitscreen, not an easy feat.

Jumps in pure look bad too, it is rather pretty but from the videos Motorstorm still looks better.

[Dragunov]

You must be pretty ignorant if you think that pure looks better than motorstorm..

[DJ]

Motorstorm 2 is starting to come together, but definitely needs a lot more work.

[MvmntInGrn]

Well I just gone done playing the demo, nice looking game when moving (still the textures are quite bland but the foliage is always nice) I still can't see myself buying a game with 1 type of vehicle, games are beyond that now.

I still think Motorstorm 2 will be better and since I'm not a huge racing fan I am only going to buy 1 out of Pure, Motorstorm 2, and Baja. Leaning toward Motorstorm 2 right now.

[gersh]

IMO Pure might be more entertaining then Motorstorm considering the environments and the tricks you can pull off, but Motorstorm 2 might be more successful in the multi player section and graphics wise.

[wangdiddy82]

pure looks good (not really) but motorstorm 1 and 2 kills it in terms of graphics and technical stuff... How could you compare this crap to greatness.. Pure u ride around a track, the enviroments look fake, flip in the air, bump into stuff unrealisticly, and just fall off your atv unrealistly.. and all you have is an atv.. Motorstorm you have full on damage, parts flying everywhere, physics galore, crap blows up, and the graphics look 20 times better.. You have cars, atv's, bikes, monster trucks, mud pluggers, rally cars, big rigs so there is a lot more going on in motorstorm in one single race than there is going on in the whole game of pure..

If you played the 1st motorstorm you will know what im talking about. Its still blows my mind watching the game in action especially when you see a huge wreck in front of you and cars are blowing up and flying over you in mid air.. Nothing touches it..

Motorstorm 1 is still one of the best looking racing games this gen..

[SL1M DADDY]

Mototstorm 2 = Oranges.

Nuff said.

[wangdiddy82]

Back in JUNE people.. Remember Motorstorm 2 didnt get a lot of respect when it was first shown because of the build they showed off.. It was way too early.. But once they showed it off again a few weeks later it blew everyone away..

Believe me this guy wont be writing a article like this after seen motorstorm 2 now..

[pixelsword]

...I'll be playing BOTH (and Pure will look better) on my PS3!

MUHAHAHAHA!

Okay, enough with the jokes. Pure is only known for the "Big Jumps".

Pure is like NBA JAM:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch...

Pure will be fun while you enjoy jumps and tricks, but when the thrill is gone, it's collecting dust. Pure is a stripped-down version of a racing game in terms of strategy. If there was such things as Arcades now, Pure would thrive there.

Motorstorm PR on the other hand is like an actual Basketball game.

Motorstorm PR has strategy, pacing, excitement and thrills on top of jumps; and the trick is to stay in one piece.

Besides, Pure doesn't look better than Motorstorm PR, sorry.

[typikal82]

Pure Garbage is more like it

MPR looks so pretty

[psman012]

Graphics don't even matter that much! They do a little, but not as much as Gameplay does.

[sak500]

Pure looking better than motorstorm2. Of course my commodore 64 racing game looks better than motorstorm. The game not the cgi/fake trailer sony shows.

[pixelsword]

"I wish I had a PS3."

Done!

[juuken]

FAIL.

[MGRogue2017]

You see, It's publisher is Disney Interactive... That just make me get embarrised or feel so cheap.. lol.

It does however look better than Motorstorm.. I've played Pure on a 1080p HDTV and trust me, It looks fantastic!

[FantasyStar]

But the character models kinda put me off. I'm pretty picky. I want a game full of substance, and well....Pure just feels like an acrobatic show overall. I would've liked more car classes, but then that wouldn't be Pure. It's not that Pure is a bad game, it's just that it doesn't cater to my needs, so I'm not getting it. I thought the demo was solid though.

[xg-ei8ht]

Dirt isn't a arcade racer.

Motorstorm 1&2 are, but i think pure will be alittle bit more silly.

Pure will sell to the younger crowd. i can imagine one kid saying to another, did u see that stunt i pulled and earned me etc etc. and children love that sort of thing.

[juuken]

I'm sorry but Motorstorm 2 looks awesome.

[outlawlife]

anybody bother looking at the date on this article?

it is beyond old and it was posted months ago when it was new, and guess what...it got the same reaction

Pure is about doing tricks on atv´s and alot of airtime, with no splitscreen. Motorstorm is about getting first to the finish line by every mean neccesery, on bike atv, car, monstertruck or whatever you want to ride. With 4 player splitscreen..

Its to early to tell and i will give pure a chance but from what ive ssen so far i would pick m2 anyday of the week...

pure's looks are mostly cosmetic. beautiful but doesn't add anyhting to the gameplay, while ms2 is pure bliss beauty and actual physics combined. so in conclusion motorstorm wins hands down

have u even played the demo ,it look like crap out of a rotten @sshole ,in comparison to motorstrom 1 even.

Jeez you guys are idiots.

All this fanboy arguing over a game that is coming out on all of the consoles?

It's not like you 360 guys are gaining anything over the PS3 guys, maybe if PURE was a 360 Exclusive yeah, then you can say "OMGLOL PURE IS BETA DAN MOTORSTORM LOL" but PS3 guys get PURE too, so really you have no argument. If you do like PURE better, then you can buy it on PS3 as well as 360.

Suprised that nobody mentioned the splash screen, layout, voiceover etc on the demo is VERY similar to Burnout Paradise

the game sucks and the graphics dont match motorstorm

Only thing I like about pure is the sense of height when you do big jump. It makes the jumps look like a huge drop.

Well I do admit I am Surprised that this is a Disney game. After playing the demo for pure I feel this is nowhere even close to motorstorm 1, on graphics or game play. It's more of a competitor of ATV off road fury. Motorstorm is in a class all in it's own.

And one thing for sure Is I'm hoping Sony will release a demo on the PSN. The demo really sold me on the first one.

But those ppl saying the graphics are totally awesome.... I have to really disagree. When the vehicle stops the graphics are really not that good. Only when you start moving fast the colors and graphics blend in and make the game seem graphically good. I hope they improve the frame rate also.... when ever there is more than 4 cars on the screen you do notice the fps dropping.

Honestly what really sold me about game is that it is the first racer that felt that you were in a true 3d environment.... unlike other racers you felt MUCH MORE confined on a linear track.

Split screen is what was needed in the first one and Im glad its coming overboard to the 2nd game.

I would have to agree with the sony bashers..... motostorm 1 needed more tracks. Another HUGE gripe you cannot just goto a menu and choose a track with a choice of opponents and a choice of vehicle and just have a short simple race. This is what negative point and its a really bad one.

Sometimes you just want to play 1 Track at any given day with your choice of 1) vehicle 2) level of ai 3) type of opponents 4) and choice of reverse racing on the track with choice of time of day on the track. This is something that motorstorm really failed (it was a launch title and it felt rushed cuz of this.... Having said that the racing mechanics felt very refined for an arcade racer.
