A comparison between Motorstorm CG and Motorstorm real-time with some added filters. enjoy.

Can you re-host these pics again? ImageShack sucks. =(

 

[Luckyman]

Glad you folks enjoyed the shots. FYI these are from the version I have -- and to be clear, 30 or so hours in, this is the same build I have at home right now and yes it looks like this. Better actually in motion on my 40 inch Bravia via HDMI. The SSX style non-linear tracks couples with insane physics result in some truly dramatic, emergent gameplay on a level that you seriously won't have experienced before.

MotorStorm is a truly fantastic looking game, but you have no idea how well it plays. The damn thing is addictive on a level not seen since Mario Kart. I haven't played multplayer online yet (still being implemented) but it really is shaping up to be one of the all time seminal experiences.

Can't take the hype..

 

[dirtmonkey37]

the game looks fantastic. I'm surprised they didn't release a demo of this build of the game.

Have you played the PSN demo?

 

[Angelcurio]

Someone please rehost the pics, i missed them.

i just got my ps3 setup yesterday and downloaded it. i'll post full impressions later with pics and details, but aside from the sense of speed, which is vastly improved, the same complaints i had with the kiosk demo are still very apparent (ugly, low res environements and track).

hmmm...Im surprised you got a ps3...care to sell it to me, course not for an incredibly over inflated price

peace

why surprised? i've always been an sf.. err, sony fan at heart. also got resistance.. very enjoyable single-player so far.

btw, i'm just speaking of the visuals, not gameplay. i'm having fun with the demo..

 

[Lord Error]

Not that I've played the PSN demo, but if it looks anything like the pics from this latest build, I really don't understand how you can say something like that with a straight face.

Ok, ok, opinions and all that. But your opinion is simply wrong and insane, I don´t know how can you say that with a straight face.

judging from your posts, i can't say i'm shocked you'd think that, marconelly. i have no bias.. i didn't spend almost $700 to be able to discredit a game on internet forums. the mountains look very underwhelming. the track isn't anything impressive, either. i wish the 2nd race was a mud track rather than solid ground. things i was very impressed with: some of the best lighting i've ever seen and amazing physics. many of the screens posted in this thread are not from a gameplay angle. i'll post full impressions with lots of pics probably late tonight..

You can save them. Your opinion has no validity at all if you think the demo of Motorstorm is "ugly". I could accept a "not impressed", but ugly?

And Marconelly is a very respected member of gaf because he is a person you can trust when he writes something, so you better stop embarrasing yourself.

 

[ORANGUTAN]

Good to know.

no need to be condescending. you've admitted that you haven't played the demo.. yet i'm biased.

hey, man..

could you do me a favor?

i know it might be a lot to ax, but, could you possibly read my post?

the mountain textures and environments are filled with low res textures.. it's extremely inconsistent. the track is as well at times.

you somehow construed that statement into a "guys, he thinks Motorstorm is ugly, SWARM!"..

the lighting is amazing
the physics are amazing
the vehicle models are excellent

i'm strictly speaking of what i described, not the entire game.

 

[Acosta]

Hey!

(ugly, low res environements and track).

(ugly, low res environements and track).

(ugly, low res environements and track).

I must be blind and fail to appreciate the imperfection of the game (for not saying you are judging it for one track in the demo).

Good, good. Keep it up. I foresee interesting times for you in this forum.

There's nothing wrong with giving your impressions on the demo as many others have but it's kinda obsolete when we have screens and impressions from someone who's played a later build (which is itself still not the final build).

 

[ORANGUTAN]

dude, are you dense? isn't that exactly what i just said? "ugly, low res environments and tracks".

do you not understand proper grammar and punctuation? "ugly low res environments and tracks" is lacking a comma. guess where? i was speaking of those specific areas of the visuals, NOT the entire game.

 

[ORANGUTAN]

so basically, if you give glowing impressions of this demo, with nary a flaw, your opinion is valid and can be agreed upon. but any criticisms means you're a trolling fanboy with an "invalid" opinion?

what?

You've misunderstood. Your impressions are totally valid but we've already got newer screens from a newer build and impressions of that newer build from two sources (IGN and Kikizo).

It's like somebody giving an impression of the E3 build. It's totally fine but what's the point? We can see what it looks like now so impressions of an older build are less relevant.

fair enough.. i can't argue with that

i'm simply giving impressions on what's available to me. people have been repeatedly saying that the PSN demo is >>>>>>>> the kiosk, and in some ways (speed) it really is.. and i wanted to see for myself.

No, he's saying your opinion is fine and all, but kinda pointless considering you (and I) have a demo of an outdated build.


It's like me coming into a discussion about the final build of Vista and saying, "Hey guys, I'm not impressed, where's the aero theme and special effects? BTW, I have build 4365"

.....


EDIT: Not used to GAF's posting speed....

FAILED AM TOTAL?

[ORANGUTAN]

king groin, isn't the game hitting retail in a couple of weeks? are they going to continue to improve the visuals for the U.S. version in march? i'm asking, i don't know.

Who knows. If the gfx didn't get any better than these pics, I'd be just fine with them.


Still, I'm not a developer, so I haven't a clue for sure



...and it's kinggroin, no space ; )

 

[Ajax]

First MattXG now ORANGUTAN. They troll until they're banned for a month and when they're unbanned they're start all over again. Why the hell don't these fanboys get permabanned? Half of this thread is ramblings of this annoying troll because this crap is tolerated nowadays. When is this going to stop?

 

[jon61586]

Looks okay. I'm not really that impressed, I think Colin MCcrea looks a lot better. IMO of course.

are you serious? you're 'Ajax'... look in the mirror, you're one of the last people here that should commenting on someone's alleged bias. also, i got banned for criticizing nintendo and wii, not sony.

btw, i have a ps3, do you? am i not allowed to comment on the mountain and track textures of the PSN demo? is that against TOS? what's wrong with you? your post sounds so bitter and... 'serious business'-like. take a deep breath, man..

 

[kevm3]

It's becoming predictable which guys you will see pop up in a PS3 game thread and say something negative.

 

[Groovester]

MotorStorm is one of my "most wanted" PS3 games. It looks intense and I can't wait to whip around mud courses are insane speeds.

Go back to where you came from; because of the likes of you every PS3 thread has become a crap fest and every PS fan has been reduced to defending PS3 games from fanboys like you instead of discussing like it would happen in every normal forum. From the time you and your friends started trolling I knew this thread is done.

 

[jaypah]

lol, funniest thread in a while.

so as i understand it there are short cuts on the track that can only be used by the smaller vehicles. what's the point of using the big ass truck then? does it easily push smaller vehicles out of the way?

why did you ignore the content in my post and go off on a completely unrelated tangent? wait, don't answer that, i know why..

and you don't have to bother with the tracks formed in the mud either if you ride a big vehicle.



(I think)

 

[Ajax]

Because I don't discuss with the likes of you. And I have played the demo; I'm actually one of the few in my area who have. It's spectacular and the chitchat with you ends here.

 

[Stench]

ORANGUTAN IS A VALUED AND IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTOR TO THE NEOGAF COMMUNITY


HE IS OBVIOUSLY THE ONLY PERSON WHO OWNS A PS3 ON THESE FORUMS

 

[indie85]

orangutan is from oa, what do you expect?

 

[ORANGUTAN]

the 'likes of me'? who do you think you are, really? have you taken a look at your post history? not everyone at OA is a rabid xbox fanboy. i'm one of the few that actually owns a ps3 and posts positive things about it on that site. i simply posted my impressions of the PSN demo, with complaints about the mountain and track textures. is that against TOS? i complimented the amazing physics, lighting, car models, fun factor, etc., yet all of that is blindly ignored and everyone jumps on the one complaint i posted and calls bias and trolling. why? who's really the fanboy here? listen to yourself, you sound ridiculous man..

"chitchat ends here" because you have no legitimate response, just the fact that i post at another forum. who cares?

 

[mckmas8808]

orangutan is from oa, what do you expect?

Thanks, that explains alot.

 

[ORANGUTAN]

Thanks, that explains alot.

again, no response... just "he posts at that other forum".

do you discriminate like that in real life too? lol..

 

[NeXuSDK]

Mmmm, me want

 

[NeXuSDK]

BTW, the game looks really good and all, but I still wouldn't say best looking next-gen title out there. It's certainly up there with the best, but there's still some things its lacking... anything else would also be surprising though.

 

[Stench]

again, no response... just "he posts at that other forum".

Maybe it's because we have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when it comes to these "low-res environments"?

Aside from the slow-motion crash sequences, in which the camera gets extremely close to the ground textures, the environments are insane. When watching the replay clips in-game, it looks almost photorealistic.

The only time the environments don't hold up are when, as I said above, the camera gets close-up, but that happens to pretty much every single game on the planet.

So, uhh, what were you saying, again?

 

[HocusPocus]

One of the few it would seem, and I'll take the opinion of someone who has played a game over someone who hasn't .

am i dreaming? someone actually debating the content of my posts rather than the fact that i post at another internet forum..

i disagree, they're very inconsistent. some look good, some look low res and unimpressive. this inconsistency ruins the overall look of the environments for me.i'm going to take some pics right now..

edit, again.. this is my only complaint, don't gbang for this. models+speed+physics+lighting+fun factor are all there.

 

[Stench]

Hello, selective memory?

You do realize that there are about 100+ people on NeoGAF who has a PS3, myself included, and the vocal members of that group have had nothing but positive things to say about MotorStorm?

God, this thread's total f*cking retard-bait. I'm outta here...

 

[Kodiak]

I would like a PS3 now, thank you.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I don't see low-res textures in Motorstorm.
