Also to you that saw the gametrailers review and saw them call each of the events all the same. They aren't. Sure you're trying to be as fast as possible still but they don't play out the same.
With eliminator you have more time to race. More laps if you survive long enough. It adds more adrenaline and excitement to the races due to the fear of being kicked off. Normal races allow you to relax, you can win by placing 1st or 3rd.
Speed is like stuntman. Seeing the next objective right after you pass the last gives you a memory type game. Also you aren't racing the tracks normally. You are racing it froward, backwards, sideways, and vertically in some of the speed events. This does a better job at being about the main game, and add to your skills than a crash minigame could.

I wonder how many units they produce of the bundled versions. Like the MS2-bundles, or the uncharted bundles. Are we talking maybe 500k each worldwide? wouldnt that sell out fairly quickly and be hard to find?
I mean... it wouldnt surprise me if they produced 1 million of the MS2 bundles worldwide. Then that would be an automatic shipping of 1 million units to stores.

You know, Geoff Grammond was GOD (he also made F1GP). Amiga had a ton of awesome racing games.MikeB said:
BTW a couple of friends and coworkers are working on Tracker Hero, like a (free) Guitar Hero for Amiga with themes of some of these games: http://mipadreteniaunamiga.blogspot.com/2008/12/tracker-hero-los-hroes-del-mod.html

BTW it's true that the 1st one sold more than 3 millions copies (including bundled copies I think) : http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=92872
So why not the sequel can sell a million? Why you never believe numbers from Sony? This "shipped, not sold" shit is so boring.
They sell games and consoles to retailers, not to the final users. Like Microsoft, Nintendo, EA and so on...

How do you mean with that the graphics are all over the place? That some parts of the graphics looks good, but the suddently some other parts doesnt look that good? If so, i agree that the ground doesnt look the best, but i wonder if that is a design choice, since when you race the ground doesnt really look that bad as if when you are standing still atleast in my opinion, so maybe the developers didnt saw the need to use too much resources on making the ground look good (or atleast better than what it looks like now) while you are standing still. Other than that i think the graphics in Motor Storm 2 are pretty good in generalacm2000 said:

The demo just looked bad. It's like they picked the worst track, and the worst lighting setting. Also there's a lot of glitches and other things. Look up some videos. Here are some I made, most involving some degree of bullying.
Click image to view the vid.
This one shows the menus to racing, then the transition to photo mode.
Eliminator with atv.
Scorched race. Very fast, no crashe although the map looks pretty (hard to tell with the vid quality though)
Others
Speed race. Checkpoints with a memory element, and a different way to race around the tracks. The vid is a bit too dark though.
not surprising in the slightest.
MS
R/ R2/LBP/Singstar Abba are all avail FREE with a new ps3 this xmas - it's just a free game' offer sony are doing.
so not a packin, so counts as a sale.
guess most people are picking motorstorm?

That's the same combo I got. I have been neglecting lbp and Motorstorm 2 because I got hooked leveling up classes in R2's co op. Oh and saints row2 took a lot of time. I'm all over the place with games lately.

sun-drop said:yeh same, although LBP and MS2 kinda lend themselves to bit sized chunks in between R2 sessions which tend to go for fucking ever
Yep, and faster if you have a lot of high level people that rip through things. No less than 10 based on the size of your group. Sometimes you get fewer objectives, and fewer enemies.

the pack is too far spread out, the tracks (so far, havent played into the game much, hopefully they get better) have been boring, not overly keen on the physics (didnt like PURE either), still hate the way your car explodes when you hit a tiny rock (although not as bad as the first game), feels to me like the game doesnt know what it wants to be, reminds me of that ps2 open world rally game, think it was launch title, forget its name. i loved sega rally revo and DiRT, guess i just want this game to be more like rallycross on the ps1
im not saying its a bad game before morons call me a troll and whatever is trendy on this forum, i just dont feel anything drawing me in to bother playing it, will go back to it when im done with far cry 2 (<3 uk game stores/web sales atm

thats only in UK... rest of the Europe has actual bundles with either one new game (MS or LBP), or 2 older games (Uncharted and RC).
Sony is using bundles to sell PS3 at much higher price than competition...

Another sales age thread, with some positive PS3 news and as usual, in comes the trolls to ruin the feel-good replies with their negativity, FUD, and criticisms.
I swear, it's so easy to predict what happens in every (potentially) positive PS3/Sony thread on GAF, especially for exclusive games. Because it's the same bullshit everyday, every thread.
Anyway, grats to Evolution Studios for creating an awesome game, regardless of sales numbers. I'll be waiting for it to go on sale (not for sale, lol). Too many games to buy and play right now... ><

You realise that us sales-agers would be saying exactly the same thing if this was a thread about Too Human / Mirror's Edge / Banjo Kazooie / something else that barely charted selling 1m right?Click said:

Just read his post as "LEave Brittney ALONE!!1!"
I'm the biggest F355 fan, believe me I cherished this game like no other. Motorstorm 2 is just better, better than Sega Rally, Wipeout, FZero and Excite Truck combined.acm2000 said:
Also thanks to the developpers for the option to add transparency on the HUD, Motorstorm nearly killed my plasma last year!

The real strength of this title is in multiplayer. The single player campaign is initially fun and that fun lasts for quite a while before becoming stale. I can see though how someone can say that it is among their favorite racers but I can also see how someone can say that its not.
