This game looks hot. But I must be the only one thinking the mud is the worst (meaning least impressive) part of this game, not necessarily in the way they have it, but just the look of it. It looks too shiny... almost more like chocolate pudding or something than mud. Something's off.

What kind of rubberbanding? There are different levels of this shit. The more tame would be in games like Mario Kart. More severe would be the Midway variety, like NBA Jam he's on fire all game or Noob Saibot riding the invisible elevator jumping on you when you are 1 punch away from a flawless victory. All seriousness though, is it that bad?

Can't "rubberbanding" are the handicap that allows you to catch up to other vehicles (if I'm getting the phrase right) able to be toggled on and off in other games? Seems like something that you should be able to choose, if want it on or off...
Though, this game seems like it lends itself and was built around it since your probably going to be ****ing up a lot.

I refuse to play games with large amounts of rubberbanding. Games like NBA2K7 when you **** and the game beats your ass, you feel like you lost badly because you should have. AI is just that good. It's why racers like Diddy Kong Racing or F-Zero GX are so good, no rubberband AI. This is a bad design flaw if it's readily apparent.

There's always online if you don't like rubberband AI. Then again, in Burnout 3 online, if you were in the lead you could never achieve the speeds as the racers behind you. It's frustrating to drive a perfect race and still have someone catch up and smash you into a wall.
My tolerance for rubberbanding may be higher than DCharlie, but I haven't really noticed it much in this game, at least not to the point where it upsets me. If you run a clean race you will get ahead of the AI and stay there by a fairly wide margin - you can usually even wipe out once and still keep the lead (screw up twice, and well...that's different).
I've only played about 50% through the single player mode, though. Maybe it gets worse later on?

No... it doesn't... when you're driving right, right lines, right routes, cleanly, you will beat up on the AI... Naturally, later on they're driving better themselves, very clean and steady, so you mess up, take a different route by accident or something, or worse and wreck, they'll be right behind you...
I haven't noticed "rubber-banding" in it at all... if it's there, it's barely noticeable... it's not like mariokart, that's for damn sure...

while the realtime ruts are technically impressive, I'd like to know where this place is that the dirt is dry until someone drives over it, at which point it becomes dripping wet mud. If the water table is that shallow, it'd definitely not be a safe place to drive a big rig.
It all reeks of PDZ/Condemned style "Make it shiny so they can see the detail"-itis.

Not what i'm seeing unfortunately - i'm driving a perfect race and consitantly get dicked over near the end of the last lap once over ticket 4.
as you get later into the game the CPU will consistantly dick you near the end of the final lap - to the extent that the only way to prevent this is to hold back and sit off the leaders then boost ahead. I dislike the idea that you can run a perfect line race and lose it at the end, where as driving deliberately poorer, posting a weaker time, and sitting behind the front runners rewards you with a win.
I should stress, this isn't a Motorstorm only issue and (as Blue mentioned) i'd like the possibility to switch this off.

Are you sure that driver is not KennyK running with the special D.C.-not-worthy-A.I. ? Hey, it shows that consoles makers do care about each of their own users then

Ineed. As a matter of fact, I stopped fighting for the lead during the first and second laps. I just let the guys go and then boost my way to victory on the 3rd lap.
There is no reward for being ahead all the time. There is no reward for crashing opponents (they'll catch you later on anyway) albeit it's helpful when you are close to the finish line. They should have implemented *something* that justifies/rewards your driving skills.
And the difficulty curve is ****ed up. I've had very hard times with some mid-matches but just got 1st on my first tries in some of the later ones.
I'm bored to death now. I have about 15 races left for completition (I'm 1st/Gold on all the previous ones already), and I dont feel any need to pursue them.
I also whished the mud deformation thing actually ment something. During just 3 laps you barely notice any difference. "No lap will look the same" my ass, honestly. You just slide more on mud. That's it. Where is my "it dries over time" thing? Not that it can dry that much in just 3 laps anyway...
And sometimes the AI acts in a stupid way. I like how they actually see you and try to push you off the track, but sometimes you can see them turining so much in your direction that they end up hitting the scenary themselvs, halting in the middle of the track like a barricade.
As it is, I can see this game as a graphical showcase and nothing more. Hopefully I'll enjoy the online aspect of it.

That's indeed Motorstom for PS3 at the very early stages of development. Prototyping I guess. It comes from a bonus "making of" video in the game where you see how the game shaped up during different stages of development. There is also some GDC demo footage in there (bike doing circles), which just helps you noticining the actual mud deformation routine is not as good as it was back then...

It's just that you ain't got them mAd skiLLz playa...
In all honesty, if it's there, I didn't notice it... I do know they seem to drive more and more consistant the later in the tickets you'll get, but that's about it really... You'll have a couple of those clown cars that just wreck into everything, but there's a couple cars that run the lines and such very well and don't seem to wreck, so if you do wreck, or mess up, slow-down, caught in mud, etc, they will catch you...
