And in that interview what else did they tell you?

Not much really.

 

[Lord Error]

Edit: I'm still having a hard time believing that's anything but real-world videocam footage

For what it's worth, someone I know who was there told me he though it was real world video footage. EIther way, I think it's not a big deal.

Re: Cell phone shots at start of thread

It's not even in-game motion blur, it's the camera using a slow shutter because of the low lighting conditions. The car is sharper because it stays in the same position on screen. Jesus fucking christ.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Anyone come across any new great videos in the last week or so?

 

[mckmas8808]

I hope so. We need more.

Evolution are going to relaunch their website in the coming weeks:

Within a few weeks the site will receive a total overhaul, it will be constantly updated with good stuff, provide a whole host of new services and features and will provide a whole new means of communicating with us here at Evolution Studios… We promise



- Rich

Maybe we'll get a nice 720p trailer.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Awesome.

 

[GreggTheGrimReaper]

Awesome.

incredible!

It looks kind of boring to me. I'll take Burnout or F-Zero or even Excite Truck any day.

:lol :lol

:lol :lol

Gameplay wise it IS kinda boring at this point.

Just driving a couple of laps on a short circuit with a few nitro boosts.
Nothing we havent done dozens of times before.

Game needs A LOT of work to fullfill its gameplay promises, AND its graphical promises for that matter.

 

[Ceb]

I do wish it would've been more "enduro" than "Mario Kart".

Even early builds must be innovative?

I dunno, why dont you go ask the dev teams behind Loco Roco, ICO, Wario Ware etcetera.

Your point might have been a bit more constructive if you picked some games from the same genre as MotorStorm.

 

[Y2Kev]

Well those are extremely innovative games!

This is a racing game with real time track deformation and lots of physics. It's not reinventing the wheel, so to speak.

OMG PUN

It just doesn't look fun at all. Too slow.

At this point it DOESNT feature real track deformation(the only racing game I have seen that does so far is next gen Sega Rally), it uses simple parralax mapping.
And seriously, can it get anymore generic then going in short circles without much freedom in an arcade style race with Nitro's?

This game might not be great but it makes some amazing .gif.

Well that's the first time I've ever heard POM being labeled 'simple'. How many cars are expected in a race with Sega Rally? Different budgets allow for more luxurious techniques.

With regards to the gameplay, they already demonstrated how the tracks are designed to give alternate routes depending on the vehicle you're using.

So did Sony put that sticker on there for the game or is that for just the TV it was playing on?

Just for the TV obviously. I believe that's one of their X-Series sets, coming this August. It's one of their few full 1080p TVs.

The now banned fishmeister forgot to mention that Sega Rally's trailer was CG.

And I doubt what Motorstorm is doing is anything but simple.

:lol wtf man can u make a week without getting banned?

Sega rally was NOT CG and was playable behind closed doors on a dev kit and did feature all the enviroment effects. Crappy frame rate so far but it was quite early.

 

[Goreomedy]

"Hey everyone! Look over here! This game doesn't have true track deformation. They're using a different method of doing something that looks and reacts as if it is deformed terrain, but it's not! It's phony! Evolution studios is a big fat phony!"

 

[Ferrarisimo]

Even early builds must be innovative?

Absolutely. Unless you're showing off a tech demo of your engine, then it's a must that you have as much of the visuals, sound, and gameplay in whatever demo or level you're showing off as complete as possible. Just look at any of the announcements that Nintendo made this year -- Super Mario Galaxy being a prime example. At the Especially Abundant company where I work, this used to be called "finishing the thread."

But isn't that exactly what MotorStorm did? It showed off the [playground rules] asshole physics, how the track deformation affects handling and changes the course throughout the race, and how different classes of vehicle need to tackle the courses in their own way. Just because the core mechanic is 'racing around a circuit with some nitro' doesn't mean that it can't innovate.

Aw snap. Did it really look like the pictures that were released?

While I disagree for the most part, I think it would have been cool if the track format had been reminiscent of the type shown at last year's CG trailer - seemingly each track being one-way and taking you through multiple paths and danger zones. Having each track actually just be a loop doesn't seem neaerly as fun.

Im assuming he was lieing since he got banned for saying that.

 

[Blimblim]

The released pics are from the playable version they prepared for the behind closed doors showing. It was running on PS3 but it should look the same on 360.

Are you referring to the paralax mapping, the same thing the guy showing me and Robby the game said?

 

[Kleegamefan]

Any vids of this game anywhere?

PS3 am awesome

 

[Mmmkay]

I think he's saying if it looks like geometric deformation, interacts like deformation, and deforms like ... deformation, then what's the problem?

btw @ blim: did they also show golden axe behin closed doors?

 

[Blablurn]

I kinda liked it

 

[Blimblim]

btw @ blim: did they also show golden axe behin closed doors?

I wasn't there so all I'm just repeating what I've been told of Sega Rally Revo. Btw it looks like there are at least a few people from DiCE racing team (Rallisport) now working for the Sega Racing Studio. If true, then yay

Yes. I thought for sure GAF would pick up on that reference.
