Ok, that's a pretty good reason
but I'm sure two days before the show a showable build was there too...Anyway, I have seen another great crash in the video that nobody has '.gif-ed' yet
After a jump, a bike sinks it's front wheel in the sand. It looked awesome. 02:43 in the playfrance video.
Wow ... after watching the new videos, I'm DAMN IMPRESSED. The game really is a lot closer to last year's CG than I ever thought it would be.
Obviously there are compromises, but the overall look is preserved. Basically, last year's video almost looks like a replay mode of this - where some extra post-processing effects coupled with dramatic camera views makes the difference.
It will be interesting to see how this title shapes up. If they can add/improve some of the effects that do not match last years video, this thing will look pretty ridicuous for a launch title.
Physics FTW!!

Given that this build didn't even reach E3 until a day or two after the conference, I'm guessing it's the lack of time machine that led to it being omitted from the conference. Could be wrong, though.
As for playing without pad rumbling, it would be utterly insane (in a good way) if this game supported force feedback steering wheels...

Wow, though I have 1 question for you guys. You drive in a wet land circuit, How can you expect to have more particles? It is wet, you cannot get particles.StephaneC said:
Overrall, looks good but more works to be done.

With the gates being lifted on the PS3 and devs able to talk about their games this needs to be one of the first questions asked to Evolution. These guys are big car fans so i'm thinking it will support it.

Their PS2 rally games don't feature any Force Feedback effects
I hope MotorStorm does, and I hope Evolution support that new Logitech wheel.

Looks great. I love how different routes on the course vary in surface terrain and plays to each class' strengths and weaknesses. Should add a nice layer of tactic to the racing. Think it needs a little more speed though (or more accurately a COCKPIT VIEW, Evolution), and more atmospheric particles and fx. I want a huge volumetric cloud of dust pouring from the rear or mud splattering everywhere.
Just saw a 5 minute on-floor interview at Gamespot Live with the game playing in the background. Lots of cool details shared, including some about multiplayer. They are shooting for 16 players at minimum, maybe up to the full 20 that we see in single player. Full host options, including limiting vehicle types to certain tracks. For a challenge, he encourages someone to try to use a bike against 17 semis. :lol
The action on screen was a lot crazier than I've seen in other vids. ATVs and bikes were crashing all over the place, throwing the riders hundreds of feet. One buggy seemed to scale up a huge cliff face that I was sure was "off the map", but he then came tumbling back down onto the track. If you hit a ramp with a single tire, you'll spin like a top. Reminded me of the crash arenas from the old Rush arcade games.
Also, he talked of the "dynamically changing tracks". We've all heard of the mud leading to increasingly slippery turns forcing you to take them wider and wider with each new lap. But he also mentioned the ability to damage ramps that ATVs and bikes may use as a shortcut advantage so that they have to change their strategy on the next lap.
This title looks insanely fun, and there's still 5 months of dev time left.

Another flick - http://news.punchjump.com/article.php?id=2445
Does anyone know what timeslot the Gamespot Live interview is in?
There's another video interview here, apparently btw:
http://e3.bashsoftware.net/motorstorm.wmv
edit - ^^ Just watched that, it's a very good vid, good quality. At one point a bike gets stuck behind the buggy, and flips back behind you, which was quite funny. Developer mentions that they plan to use the motion sensitivity, I think he said for punching and kicking when you're on a bike, for example. So if you tilt hard left or right your rider will punch or kick an opponent to the left or right, which actually seems like a pretty cool use, a very tactile expression of that Visual quality will also go up.

This one is pretty good, I think it's going to be fun. ~_~

This game looks fucking excellent. I'm surprised how close it seems they got to the CG video shown at last year's E3. A lot of the difference still seems to boil down to the track design and t he fact that that the levels seem more open now and less prone to having as many collissions as often as I expected. Still, it looks pretty ace.
I just hope they do something about all those sparks. Jesus, it's like a 4th of July parade in the desert.

Thanks for the link, gofreak.
Those other videos didn't do the game justice, it looks so much better in this new high quality one.

I'd usually complain with only 12 tracks being in a racing game (yah GT spoiled me bad) but with this it seems like it'd work. Mostly because unlike 99% of other racing games, every race in this will be different because of how much physics play a role in the game and all the different sections to the track.
The interview is now up for download along with 3 other HD vids at Gamespot, so about 10 minutes of footage:

Is it me or is this game appear to be a bit sluggish?
Sony was claiming again and again that those were "real time" game videos. They were not calling them "target renders" at E3 2005. I remember that clearly because I hoped to God it was true. Now I realize it's not, and that means that their claims last year were bullshit.kaching said:
Part of my anger about their lying, is that I had my hopes up for this game. Being a racing freak, this game stoked every fire in my driving game fetish. In a way, the Motostorm E3 video from 2005 was everything I could imagine in an off road racing game, before my eyes in motion. I ate that shit up. However, I also had a heavy feeling of skepticism that it was "real time".
So, now we know it wasn't real back then, but that doesn't mean I think the game looks bad now. It just doesn't meet that video from last year. I still have high hopes for the game, and I think it looks like it's on track to be very good.
Was DarienA attempting to suggest i'm an Xbot? *que rolleyes*

The buggy definitely doesn't seem the fastest of vehicles
It depends what terrain you're on. I guess that's why the nitro is there, also. If you want fast, the bike would be a better bet, but maybe they'll tweak speed generally. It seems to be such an action-focussed game, though, not speed-racing as such..Systems_id

I dunno. The game didn't feel as "hectic" as I thought it would be for some reason.gofreak said:The buggy definitely doesn't seem the fastest of vehicles
Those videos are certainly eye-opening. Sony was very wise not to show the game at the conference. The thing that bugs me about the game is what bugs me about the current 360 racers. There are these super high-poly high-textured cars racing on noticably lower detailed tracks. The contrast is quite jolting.
