Gamer 2.0: Motorstorm 2 First Look

12
Last year's Motorstorm title for the Playstation 3 was a bigger success than most gamers wanted to believe. While the game lacked depth and offline multiplayer, it still remains as the PS3's top-selling title, a benchmark that prompted Sony to purchase developer Evolution Studios.

Now under Sony's grip, Evolution Studios hopes to make Motorstorm 2 everything fans wanted from the first and much more. With a new backdrop, exciting new vehicles, and a truly engaging racing experience, Motorstorm 2 could turn out to be the epitome of off-road racing titles for years to come.

1.1 - The first one had a nice career mode
it lacked a split screen quick game though. It also lacked custom sound tracks. Both of which seem to be getting fixed. The second should have more customization too.

What the first one did right was done REALLY REALLY right though. The gameplay was some of the most intense driving I've ever had in a game. I can't count the time I shouted "OMG WTF .... Holy Hell ... Did you see that! That car just blew up and flipped over mine!"

Just give me some split screen and bring on the madness again.

"First Look": Hardly. It's an aggregation of what little is known.

Say "First Look" when there's something of the game to actually look at.

Ha! Imagine that.

I wonder if this will include such features as steering, a button to slow down the vehicles and yet another to make them go faster.

If you ask me, those are things that are absolutely required for this sequel to have any chance of succeeding.But, I guess we'll just have to wait for the "reviews".

4 - The first one got me bored pretty quick
Even thou I was completely excited and crazy to have it. It's a good game that just had to little to offer. Very low number of tracks, which most seemed to resemble each other too much. Online Cheaters and no split screen in a racing game? Criminal.

The sixasix controls where phenomenal thou, even if they really weren't an option if you wanted to be competitive online.

5 - Would be a better first look if they played either of the games.
They havent even played motorstorm one.

'The first game had its fair share of water hazards'

Erm, no it didnt. It was in a desert, there was no water. They repeated that at least twice, they dont know what they are talking about, just watching the trailer and pretending they have played the game.

I noticed that too...what it did have was the best layer manipulation in a game to date though...nothing was cooler than being in 1st place on the first lap of Grizzly and skipping over the crusty sun baked dirt...only to return on the second lap and seeing 2 ft. deep mud everywhere that would pull the car in all different directions...

and it stayed true to the cars lines the entire race...you could see the muddy tire lines of some idiot that tried to drive up a cliff wall half way through the race lap after lap...

but yeah...no water...at all...I thoroughly enjoyed the game though...the online was fantastic...and there isn't an arcade racing game to touch it since imo...I just hated sidewinder in the mud plugger...being forced down in that creek bed the entire race was worthless...

Yeah, it did have awesome terrain deformation. It was so realistic, I remember taking the first lap around the grizzly (I think) taking the turning perfectly and on the second lap, thinking I could do it again, oversteer and slam straight into the wall :D lol...good times...
