From The Gamer: "Motorstorm smashed its way onto the PS3 as a launch title way back in 2006. I'll admit, I never played the original. I was a bit late to the party with getting a PS3, but I played the sequels, Pacific Rift, Apocalypse and RC. They were loud, kinetic, and everything I love in arcade racing games.
More than anything, Motorstorm was absolutely gorgeous. Pacific Rift really took advantage of the PS3 hardware to bring its stunning volcanic island setting to life. The game featured four different environmental zones and wickedly chaotic car destruction. They were great games, so why don't we have a new one already?"
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
Because the stuido closed down.
Go buy Dirt 5, its made by many of the old devs from evolution.
While Evolution is no more (some are part of Codemasters now). Sony still holds the keys to the cars and it would be good of them to make a remastered Motorstorm compilation of all the main games (including Arctic Edge). Not sure who they would get to do the work but it would be a smash hit.
We're not. And the developer was MDK'd. Useless hoping.
But on the other hand, Tony Hawk and Crash Bandicoot happened. Even Shenmue. So, you never know. I'm not going to wait though.
Unless Sony can figure out how to turn it into a story driven, gritty single player only experience, then it's a lost cause
