Why do you think people wanted that Terminator game so much.

Duh. This just doesn't work in practice, it is too small. I have Micro Machines, Super Off Road and Super RC Pro AM.
There is already a similar game to Re-volt. I forget what its called, but its decent, although not nearly as good.

I only tried the analog stick, it was pretty unwieldy. D-pad might indeed be better.
I know, the camera should still have been closer though.
I agree, it might have been better if they didn't call it MotorStorm.

I always prefer d-pad in racing games at least
I feel that this gives more precise control of the car. I cant comment much on the other stuff though since i havnt tried the game myself yet.Alex Connolly

aw super off road was my favourite game gear game. Awesome. Day 1 for me.
Could be awesome but none of the footage and screenshots have convinced me yet. The tracks seem very short and with little variation. I'd expect lots of ramps, elevation, turns, obstacles (like water, mud,...),... Also, the cars seem a bit out of place and seem to float on the track.
Fingers crossed this turns out to be a great game. I loved Super Skidmarks, Super Cars and Super Off-road racing on my Amiga.

That price point is an utter coup. I dunno, it could be quite the DLC whore, but for such a low cost of entry, a slew of map and car packs wouldn't go astray.
I actually quite like the look...it looks like a clean and efficient racer.
Hope the US release isn't too far behind.

Aww, look at those kwute little twacks.
For 6 I'll buy this even if it's bad. Why? Because I like the idea of game characters (here: racers) playing with miniatures of themselves and I want other franchises to do the same. Imagine how cute miniature Helghasts would be in a brawler type game with big Helghasts cheering them on and betting. Or Drake playing with miniature ships in a pool in a Pirates! sort of game.

See, this is why I want Killzone: Liberation 2 instead of just a portable FPS. Twin-stick shooter, isometric madness, that fine weapon balance Liberation had (seriously, dat balance!), awesome detail...
...please, Guerrilla?!
Anyway, yes. Motorstorm RC will be madness.
I want killzone liberation 2 too, really liked that game!

Fuck yeah.
Love the duality PS3/Vita, especially when it comes for free.
Love that my launch games are going to be dirt cheap (Super Stardust, Motorstorm RC).
Good stuff all around.

Just got finished downloading it, yay. Will do some impressions later.
Edit: Initial impressions:
Man the default camera is bad, there are better ones but I don't feel like there's a perfect one there.
Menu-system is odd and doesn't feel nice to move through.
Overall the game feels oddly cheap and not that fun, I've only played it for 30 minutes, but it didn't grab me at all, and it feels like a subpar iOS game, which is sad, since the idea of RC is really good, but it feels like Evolution didn't pull it off satisfactory.

out where?
Still need to understand how the trophies work. If its a shared save, does it communicate the trophies you've earned on Vita to PS3, or not? Developer comments seem a bit vague

looks like you can sync trophies between PS3 version and Vita version. so any trophies you got from Vita will be synced to the PS3 version as well.

Looks like a great price for the European release, especially considering you get it on both systems. I hope the North American release has a similarly low price.
I'm somewhat worried after reading Vinterbird's impressions, though. Is that a demo? The first post in the thread says it comes out on February 22. If anyone else picks it up, let us know what you think.
Also, I don't mind that you can earn trophies on both systems, but they should have done one of the following:
1. Combine them into a single trophy list (that's shared between both systems) and allow you to synchronize trophies.
2. Have two separate trophy lists, but there's no synchronization and you actually have to accomplish the task on whatever system you're playing on in order to unlock the trophy on that particular platform's trophy list.
#1 is preferable, but seems like it might be somewhat difficult with the way things are set up now. As it stands now, PS3 players can't even view a Vita player's online status. Still, that is a goal that they should work toward realizing.

Press copy with my Vita. I haven't checked if there also was a PS3 version, will check up on that later today and see how the save structure is.
Aw, that's a shame. It's still cheap enough for me to buy and check out myself, at least.
Liberation was a great PSP game. Of course Sony won't have another one made for Vita!
Same with Metal Gear Acid. Great portable game, but it'll be all about how many "different" ports MGS1-3 (and PSP spin-offs) will get
And I still like the image of people playing with toys for the game. I want a full game controlling RC Metal Gears through stages Otacon made in empty warhead silos while he should've built bombs! Perfect fit for MG universe whackiness and it takes the "Rawr, I iz serious game I haz serious stories" aspect out of it, allowing all kinds of (even) crazy(er) to happen.

I really really hope this whole "buy once, get it on multiple platforms" thing becomes a trend. I about pissed my pants when steam went to mac and all my steam games that had a mac port I didn't need to buy a second time to play (specifically EU3, Civ, and TF2). Of course, my mac is an old cheap mess so it can't really run TF2 anyway, but NOT IMOPRTANT!
And using the touchscreen to move your AI partner around. Seriously, Killzone Liberation 2 will be awesome on the Vita. We need more of these €5.99 projects.

I think a lot of my problems with the game could be fixed in a multiplayer setting, since everyone will be subject to the same experience, and everyone will have to fight with the camera and sometimes boring levels.
What I do like about the game is that it is so focused on its core, there's not a bunch of different gameplay gimmicks or systems in there to distract from it, and that makes it a nice and cohesive experience.

Hmm, I'll probably pick this up at that price, especially as I own both PS3 & Vita - but I REALLY would have preferred this to be in the vein of ReVolt rather than Micro Machines?
Man, I loved the hell out of ReVolt, would really like to see a sequel.

I think i know the US price but I don't want to put a foot in my mouth.
Fairly certain this game is gonna be fantastic.
Really excited to get my hands on it.
Eager to try the cross platform stuff.
Evolution is one of my favorite studios, I loved all three motorstorms so much.

Yep, you get both a PS3 and a Vita version for 5.99
Hopefully the PS3 version will support custom soundtracks like the Vita.
Thanks for reminding me. Will be playing on Vita anyway!

So damn cheap as it is, but you get ps3 and psv versions!
It's pricing insanity, but in a good way.
So happy to see Evolution didn't get closed or anything after the lackluster launch of apoclyps3. Game was great, but timing couldn't be worse.
I wonder if Evolution will try to make another motorstorm or try fresh and make a new racing ip. maybe if they got Twisted Metal level budget and make WaterStorm. lol
Forget the price, need more impressions of the game.
I played it for about 6 hours this weekend. Mostly on one track.
That good enough? =)
