Love the game of course, but why is accelleration mapped to the right stick? An option to use the shoulder buttons would have been nice!

Im playing on ps3 I use the left and right triggers to brake and accelerate naturally...hat control schemes are there for the vita?

Not on all games. A lot PSN games have different Euro to $ prices. Usually higher $ because of the Euro and £ strength.
You can on at least the Vita. Go into the control options and you can customize each button
I've been playing for about 4 hours (according to the stats) and i like the game a lot. I feel that Evolution did a good job on the controls and the physics. Also, menus and presentation are nice (once you figure out how to navigate them). Sounds effects are great.
I'm currently at 81/144 and there definately is a difficulty spike at around 60 or 70. I have a hard time getting bronze, let alone gold now. Also, not that fond of the fast cars. They seem a bit too fast for these kind of short tracks (with a lot of bends).
I just wished the tracks were a bit more varied and crazy, with more jumps, elevations, obstacles, more driving through water,... and maybe a tad longer. With these kind of physics, it would have been awesome. Hopefully, DLC tracks will deliver in that regard.
But the core game is fun and the price is nice.

Lol woops, didnt realise that somehow, will check it out when i get home.
Yeah, when I set acceleration and braking to L/R instead of the right stick I had a much easier time controlling the game.
Having a ton of fun with this. The social integration stuff is a bit "much" IMHO, but at least it seems lively.
I would be fine if that's what they were doing. Instead, SCEA is complicating things that should be simple and will only end up confusing people.

I can't remember correctly, but I think the PS3 used the R2 trigger.
if that is the case, they I suppose they used right stick because the vita's Shoulder buttons aren't analog. while the second stick obviously is.
really like the social stuff, especially on vita. too bad im not that good at the game. and one of my friends is ranked 30th
I should feel bad for the americans.... But I don't. They get a taste of how europe gets handled.

You can map the acceleration and brakes to the shoulder buttons on Vita. Personally i use dpad for steering, the X-button for acceleration and the square-button for brakes
It's that thing on the main menu that lists all the updates from who's beating who on what stages.
It's beside Wreckreation, I think.

I've unlocked the SuperCar challenges, and now I have 100 medals ... out of 196. Gah. Might be a while to get all medals, if ever, lol. There are a LOT of tracks in this game though! And it's taking me quite a while to memorise their layouts.
This is currently my most played and favorite Vita launch game I think. Perfect for the handheld, and disgustingly addictive. Was playing this in bed for hours yesterday night. Also, the PS3 version is still a little bit nicer to play, but not by much. I love the way playing on one then continuing on the other works in this game, incredible.
Also, considering that it's not out yet in the US, the sales seem promising. I think I saw 20.000 people on the leaderboards yesterday (I was around 500 or so). Of course, it doesn't mean anything for Vita, because people can just buy it for PS3 as well (and should!).
For some of the races that you have trouble with, I'm finding the top-down (most) view helps.
I think the biggest praise I can give this game is that the way it is set up makes Super Stardust Delta look positively ancient! I wouldn't mind at all if Super Stardusts's UI would be modelled after the Motorstorm one. I hope Motorstorm RC becomes a role-model game that all other smaller games on Vita / PS3 try to emulate.

So, is this the de-facto OT for the game, or do we still need one? I could do it, but if everyone is fine with this I'd rather play the game
An official OT would be nice. It's a fun little game at a very good price and it seems there is going to be DLC content in the future so i think it deserves it.
I can't get past Silver. I hate those challenges :/
Other than that, it's a great game. I'm playing it on PS3 right now, until I get a Vita.

Really? With these graphics there are framerate problems?
What do you mean 'these graphics'? It has some of the nicest graphics I've seen on vita so far. The lighting and surface detail is really nice on later levels
Not seen any framerate issues yet, hopefully they are few and far between
It hasn't disturbed me so far but it isn't always fluid. There's also some screen tearing sometimes.
There's a small amount of dropped frames in some of the jungle levels with the aerial camera. Not really bad, but I hope they patch it.
I agree though that I don't really see why you would say "with these graphics". It looks great on Vita, even when you don't take into account that it's a 6 downloadable game.

You can always register a new PSN account and buy the game againI'm a little bummed that they're only charging $10.

Why, it's not like they are selling themselves short or anything. It's basically the equivalent of an XBLA/PSN game in which $10-$15 is the standard price.

I wish PSN would let you gift games to people because I would buy this for at least two of my friends.

It's a top down game. Yes, it looks nice, but IMO it should be running at 60fps.
Unfortunately Evolution's engines have never been designed to do that.

It's been the top played game on my near list since launch so it seems people are finding this little gem =)

Yeah, it would be cool if this was possible indeed
What? I'm pretty sure that he simply thinks the game is so great that it is worth more than $10 to him. I've also felt it like this with some games, that i could gladly pay more for them.
I got it on the third try myself. If you manage to get past the first curve untouched then you should just take it easy since the AI is very very slow in the first event. Don't rush and play it safe. It'll pop up eventually.
Try to get to the lead at the very beginning like before the first corner or so. Then it's pretty much smooth sailing as the others will be driving really slowly. Don't pass the last one by a round as it will only increase your changes to fail.

Forget platinum.
does the vita version have near feature? That's going to be the question for all future vita titles lol.
