you have to delete the 1.1 fw updat for the game in order for the new one to work. Why it just doesn't over write it when downloaded is beyond me. But....it does work, just need to delete the old update from your game saves folder.

That would suck. Hopefully Sony fixes fast.

Gotta feel sorry for those PS3 gamers who only have one game to play now since Motorstorm is gone. Lol go back to RFOM.

Aren't those 2 games getting old? Lol.

EDIT @ below: C'mon guys I was just poking some fun. Don't get all bent out of shape.

5 - Yes hopefully Sony fixes that.

But see guys, it's not only the 360, that has "growing pains" with Patches. Let alone there is not much games out for the PS3 getting patched and updates.

How many games fixes, patches, and updates have Xbox games gotten compared to the PS3 gaming library? Well there is a lot. Of course gamers are never mad at Sony when they screw up, but so quick to judge MS. Of course this has nothing to do with MS. I know it will turn into "well 360 has more patches and screw ups"

it has to do with the hypocrites on this site, they post flame about how MS sucks and the 360 suck, but when something happens to the ps3 they post "it's okay blah blah blah".

6.1 - it's because

it's only available for the UK Motorstorm.

something you'd *THINK this post would inform us of.

as it stands, someone who comes here first for news would think that the update was available for the US version.

this is what happens when a product or service is rushed to the market.

i think they felt pressured to release *SOMETHING for Motorstorm, since plenty of it's fans were really eager for the update.

now look, a buggy patch.

isn't that what they were *FIXING for the American audience.

a little patience goes a long way.

i'd gladly deal with delay after delay, if it ultimately means that the gaming experience would be more solid because of it.

12 - It needs the 1.2 update

The time trial mode needs the 1.2 update, hence with the 1.1 it fails to boot.
To cure this go to the game data utility and delete the 1.1 update (as this removes the timetrial update too), boot up motorstorm (it will work now) and go to 'online' to get the 1.2 update, then redownload the timetrail mode from the PS store and all is well and will work fine.
I know its long and stupid, but hey even the best games are bugged, just play Gears of War of ten minutes (I'm not flaming I loved that game). It does seem that it may have been a better idea to include the time trial mode in the 1.2 update, instead of making them separate, would have made life easier. Oh well, its a learning experience for Evolution and Sony never the less.

13.1 -

On the PS store yup.

But it requires the 1.2 patch to work. And this patch is only available for european gamers.

Don't DL the TA mode until you get the 1.2 patch (which can be downloaded by just booting the online mode).

And for people who "bricked" their game, just delete the 1.1 patch info (in game data managing) and go online to DL the 1.2 patch. THEN get the TA on the PSN.

Not a big deal actually.

15 - Read Instructions First............It Works Fine.

lol man, Motorstorm doesn work for you because of YOUR stupidity. Why didnt you read the instructions first? It says, go online with Motorstorm first and get an update of it (which is. 1.2) and only then go back to PSN store and download that time-mode update. Thats all mate. Read first next time, OK.

Now, If your Motorstorm game doesnt boot anymore, just delete the old update which is 1.1 from your PS3 cross-media bar, reboot PS3, go online with Motorstorm again, get 1.2 update, install it, reboot your PS3 again, go to PSN store then and at last, get that freakin awesome time-mode attack update, which is for free. Awesome update.

17 - great.

the problem is not the patch.. its the ppl who dont read and just install stuff. if everyone followed the instructions this wouldnt happen. go online first and update to 1.2. then go to the store and download the new mode. easy uh ?

17.1 - Exactly

People rush with out reading. You are supposed to download the update in motorstorm & then install the Time Attack mode. If you don't, just delete you 1.1 update & download it again.

Dumb xbots think it's like their xbotch 3fixme.
