As weird as it sounds, try to race using boost the least you can. You might be surprised even in the higher difficulty ranks.F#A#Oo said:

This never helped me.Philanthropist said:
I was usually able to win the last races by pushing really really hard, to be under the first three positions by the end of the first lap. It was almost like the AI would honor my presence there while lurking to penalize the smallest mistakes. The key it perfect execution: no crashes, cutting corners while maintaining momentum and maximizing the boost to its limit.

If you're struggling at rank 5, you're doing it wrong.
The difficulty level very, very slowly increases through rank 6, then it quadruples at rank 7.
Compared to rank 7 and 8, every other race is piss easy.

Not crashing is obviously required to win at the highest ranks, even though one or two crashes shouldn't prevent you from being in the top three.
As for not boosting or abusing from it, I did manage to get silver medals in rank 8 races by doing so. I guess it requires some technique and balance.

Alright good to know. Gives me some time to finish up on some of the current ones.crispyben said:
Yesterday I managed to get all gold medals in Festival so now I'm finally done with that excruciating part of the game/ Hopefully I can get some online games going later tonight.

Installed that enormous patch today, the one from a few weeks ago. Raced a few rank 7 tickets and made these...
Had this one in the gallery, which I don't think I've shared. And if I have, oh well, it's a nice shot...

Best looking racer in the history of ever?
Seems undoubtedly so.

I deem this weekend my weekend of getting rank 8. I'm almost there, I got all but 1 gold, and this one silver race just won't allow me to get gold. I don't know why I can't settle for silver, especially in motorstorm. This weekend though, I'm going to finally try to complete all of the tickets.
I never finished motorstorm 1 because of my gold habit.

This is a page of eyegasms.
Finally got the bug to go back to Motorstorm after completing the Burnout DLC and got my rank 8. I loved the game but have one complaint ... man are they stingy with the trophies. For completing rank 8 I got to see the credits; no unlocks, no trophy and ended up with 25% of the total trophies.
Finally completed the single player campaign. Phew... never thought i would make it until the end. According to the stats, total playtime of 40 hours, mostly single player.
They could at least have made a cutscene or something to reward the players. When you finally finish the game, it's the credits and back to the menu. The blood, sweat and tears was't even worth a trophy, it seems.
I'm ready for the DLC

Awesome pics everyone.
So I just bought the speed expansion pack which was 500+MB and installed it. Booted up MS: PR only to find I had to update to 1.03 which is 608MB. WTF! This is going to take me over 2 hours to download and install.
Do I need the patch to play the expansion pack or can I just skip it?
Why the hell have such a big update on the day of the release of the expansion pack?! BTW I played the game the other day and was fully up to date on patches then so it's not my fault or anything.

I played it just the other day and nothing popped up. Didn't see anything on the blog about the patch either. Unless I missed it. :|
Only 108 minutes to go now :||
EDIT: Quick search and I foudn a changelog for 1.03
Game Luanching in HOME and a couple of other cool features have been added. Good patch, just wish it wasn't so damn big.

Beautiful pictures.
I can't help but feel that this game should've gotten more attention than it did.

I want to know too as I picked this back up after not playing it for a couple months. So fun. Can't wait for more tracks.quetz67 said:

+1 for wanting info on the speed pack.
Can anybody give me tips for the rank 6 races? I'm finding them really hard, I seem to race a perfect race only to be totally blitzed by the AI rushing past me at unrealistic speeds on the last straight.

Speed pack is cool. 3 new tracks and the new single player content is good even if it just consists of time trails. Tracks are available to use online and in free race mode.
The 3 tracks are really well made and feel we polished. Looks like it's going to take a bit to learn all the shortcuts again for them. I'll take some pics tonight if I get time.

MotorStorm online >>>>> ( million years of >>>) >>>>>>>>> MotorStorm PR online .
Motorstorm was so balanced , every type of car can win the race , here in this shit hole only Monster Truck or big rig can win , all the tracks are designed for stupid Monster Truck or big rigs , all other cars have disadvantage with them, ranked races with Monster Truck or big rig are so fucking boring and shitty since everyone know where to go ..fuck this shit .

I never thought I'd say this, but I'd buy most of my games from the PSN (Price shenanigans notwithstanding) given the choice. Love having Burnout Paradise always there, regardless of what's in the drive, and I think I'd play a wider variety of games if I could just pick them from the XMB.thuway said:Would it be a sin to ask Sony to release this title on the PSN?
I'm holding off getting the DLC, but I'm going to get back into this when I get my new TV (KRP-500a, seem to be like gold dust in the UK at the moment). Hopefully I'll finally get through the single player campaign, I got stuck somewhere that I just couldn't get gold and haven't played it since.

So the Speed pack is out for $10.
When does the Adrenaline pack come out and how much will it be?

OK, it seems like at the higher ranks you need eyes in the back of your head...or, you know, a rear view mirror. Is there no option to have a RV mirror (the display options in this game are pitiful)? The camera thing is useless (WAY too slow). Damned cheap vehicles we're driving if they don't have have mirrors.

This game is one of the best looking games this gen but oddly it isn't reflected in the pictures in this thread. Why is that? I went back to MS1 the other day and that still looks amazing.
