Pure "exactly the same" on PS3, 360 - Black Rock promises demo, too

Game director Jason Avent is confident that Pure will be exactly the same on PS3 and 360.

Speaking to Eurogamer, he said there was nothing to worry about and that the Sony version of the off-road arcade racer was up to standard as early as January this year.

"It's the same; exactly the same," Jason Avent assured us. "I'd say around January time we had all the functionality in the PS3 version that we had in the 360.

Hahaha like we haven't heard that before. Game Trailers will be looking to prove them wrong. Regardless if you have a PS3, MS2 will be the better game.

1.2 - Dear Rick Assley.
It is so nice that you can tell based on txt and images (instead of playing the game) which game to choose. That is damn good skill right there!

True gamers will play both though... but well I guess you're not even a gamer.

Now please go and roll to some other site.

ps. Is it too much to ask that you take that lovely sonarus with you?

sure, none of us have played the game yet so judging whether we'll play it or not is a little far fetched, but when Motorstorm has proved itself and is going to offer double the first game, in terms of players, physics, environments, tracks and graphics, I'm sure you can see why we think that Motorstorm is going to be more to our tastes.

Also alot of people simply don't have the money to keep buying many games, I know I don't because I have to pay for many games.

Your comment is no more needed than Ricks... Besides, did his comment make you upset? If somebody would rather pass on a Motorstorm wannabe, does that make you upset? Sorry, but people have their own tastes and just because they don't jive with your's doesn't make them any less valid. Grow up please...

Why are you trying to pass yourself off as a gamer when we all know you are a fanboy. I know pretty much nothing about motorstorm but at this point i could bet ANYTHING that it will be better than pure. If you don't have a ps3 then buy pure. It doesn't mean it will be a bad game it just means MS2 will be a good game. Consider it like MLB 2k8 and MLB 08.

MLB2k8 ran better on 360 but overall it was still inferior to MLB 08 which is a ps3 exclusive.

My comment was to point out any time a dev says it will be the same on both platforms somehow someway, 360 version ends up better. I'm sure that sort of thing brings joy to someone like you, and its cool and all but this time, if you have a ps3 you don't have to deal with it because you have a better alternative in motorstorm

Scientific data could probably prove that anyone who uses the term "true gamer" in their post, without it being sarcasm or a joke, is an idiot.

1.8 - Motorstorm thoughts
ive seen a few comparisons to Motorstorm. The 1st game that comes to my mind in comparison would be atv offroad fury. But although i own motorstorm and do enjoy it, i really hope the sequal offers a little more. For one i didnt like not being able to have some kind fo free mode where you can pick any track & vehicle. i hated being forced to play as a garbage truck when i wanted a rally car. or having to use the super slow dune buggy when i wanted an atv. to me the game felt like a glorified demo. no more than 5 tracks (mabey less?)! I will say that i loved the physics, and sharp visuals. I suppose i felt a little cheated that i payed $60 for such a limited game, rest assured ill be in line to buy motorstorm 2 when its out, but in the meantime ill be playing Pure =)

"may be more than a bump in the road for heavy hitters like Motorstorm 2"

sure, it may well be. The only problem with that is that Motorstorm will come along and drive a monstertruck straight over it's ass.

You got that right. Motorstorm = a proven game and if anybody has seen the video released not too long ago for this game, they should know that it looks very underwhelming. Sorry, but I will wait for the game that has proven itself and pass on this one myself.

It is too bad that argument is not used for all games. Other games appear to be bashed no matter their past pedegre.

2.4 - @ proven game franchise
That is only true when it supports your fanboy agenda.

Take for example Killzone 2. Killzone 1 and the psp game recieved mixed reviews but killzone 2 is being hyped to hell and back despite being an unproved (to be good) franchise

Then you have Haze. Haze is made by free radical design, a developer with a proven pedigree of making good FPS/mulitplayer games. Yet there is a tonne of FUD spread about it being mediocre and generic.

I have not yet played Pure or motorstorm 2 but MS1 didnt grab me and the nickle and diming DLC for the game was very dissapointing. I shall try both with an open mind however.

That means we can leave all the comparisons then correct?

Question to PS3 owners: Any of you getting this with MotorStorm 2 just down the road?

3.1 - Nope
I saw the video of this game and it looked like nothing special to me. I say it's an easy rent for those who do not have a PS3 but for those of us that have played the crap out of MS, most of us I presume will be waiting for the better title to arive this year. MS2 is coming and it looks fantastic.

I think if people do actually buy it on their PLAYSTATION 3 then I'll be quite amazed. I think it'll just be a little time filler for most. The game just wont be able to compare, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift will have such great production value considering the team are under sony so get help from other developers and they only have to work on the one console.

I'm huigely looking forward to Motorstorm 2 and I'll check out the demo for Pure, but I can't see it taking my money.

Nah it wont be exactly the same. People will find the slightest difference so they can brag that their console is better than the other. We will probably see statements like: "the ___ version is better cause the trees in the background have more leaves in them compared to the version of your crappy console.

For PS3 owners, Motorstorm 2 is the definitive off road racing game. Why? Monstertrucks.

Heck, even my friend who got rid of Motorstorm from his 80gb is even considering Motorstorm 2.

I wouldn't say it's the most definitive off road racer because of monster trucks. I would say it's due to the replayability the tracks off along with the intese action.. the tracks offer so much danger that the intesity is incredible. Playing against a friend whose sat next to me is going to be my definitive reason to buy this game, because I can't wat to go through a tight squeeze and smash them into a tree and see their face or push them off of a high edge =)
Then the monster trucks are an added bonus, crush the little ants under your feet .

I'm a nice person really

7.4 - Yep, you got that right...
You ain't a true gamer if you bash other games before they are even out and pick your favorites without giving the other games a change.

= you have to play them both to really know them. As simple as that.

A true gamer wants to play them all before bashing them.

and who decided either of you get to define what a pure gamer is...I play games and I like playing games....when people bash games at my work place, I brush it off sometimes and reply back to the naysayers at other times, it don't make me more of a gamer or a pure gamer or less of a gamer. pure gamers arn't too widely recognised anyway though...hardcore gamers: yes. fanboyz':yes...what does it even mean? :somebody who plays games purely?...I'd rather be a hardcore gamer anyday...there are some games so terrible, I have to say it out loud..*IronMAN (ps3)*Sega rally (last year's one) I hate both for what they are and for what they could have been...

Sorry to hear, but it is not my definition. It has been used for ages. True gamer is open to any game and won't kill them without trying them.

If we all would play only games that get 10/10 and are praised by media... we would miss hell of a lot of great gems.

it seems the companies are wasting time and effort to make things look identical. they are so worried what will actually happen if one version looks a bit better that they probably spend much of their time making them identical.
two separate consoles, use them to their best. people with different pcs dont complain when the games run different...

The game looks really good, bonus points for the possible truth of both versions looking carbon copied. (because we know how some developers like saying both are the same when they end up not being that way)

Here's hoping for a good multi-plat.

Why not take advantage of the consoles difference and make each game as good as it can be on that console?

I kind of feel that too many developers today don´t take advantage of the extra space a bluray-disc can hold.

oh I don't know mate...Haze 'handled' really well...and the whole nectar thing was pretty innovative...(someone plese correct me if I'm wrong about the nectar thing). what really killed them was the halo killer hype, and it was never them that promoted it...for me it needs to be a little bit faster...but I can already kind of tell, this is going to be very good online wise... it reminds me of WarHawk, it really is going to be the diamond in the rough game of the year...

edit: although I've been hearing crackdown was a surprisingly good game last year as well...
