[GeoramA]

Damn...looks nice. Day one for sure.

 

[Vaandaviii]

Photoshop FTW, check out the flags... same in every screen. As I recall, those are in motion in-game. :lol Still, I can't wait to play online... I just hope we get some headlights!

Developers have more intresting things to do than replaying several times a race to generate different mud shapes. It's much easier modifiying the stored information about this concrete ground, and rendering it again.

Do you think that in promo pics there's a player and an screenshooter working together? They just put everything where it looks good, and take the shot. It'll be stupid trying one time after another until they take a good one...

 

[Fatghost]

Anyone know where these pics are from originally? By which I mean, who took them?

Looks really good.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Haven't played the demo on the PSN store, eh?

I was being sarcastic :shh

I heard that there will possibly be downloadable tracks.

Sponsered by Discovery Channel hopefully?

 

[BIG BUBBA]

Is there any news as to whether or not they'll let you turn off those SUPER EXTREME SLOW-MOTION REPLAYS of every accident I make? It really destroys the flow of the game.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Why do you people keeping posting threads about this game? Its been out now for two months.

 

[MattPeters]

Damn!

That video was ****ing nuts!

I don't think that's a design choice...

Not in the USA nor Europe.

What do you mean?

 

[Rody]

Uh oh.

 

[BIG BUBBA]

How isn't it a design choice? Sometimes I don't get the crash replays, and I immediately reappear as a blinking "ghost" of myself. I like that. Other times, however, I am forced to watch a 15 second slow-motion clip of myself falling. The option to disable these replays would be great, and I think easy to achieve.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Are the crashes only in slow motion? Cause sometimes I would just love to see them go at full tilt speed for the mayhem of sheer impact.

 

[Dry Oatmeal]

What do you mean?

They are availible via prescription only. Maybe a few weeks on these puppies will help you get things back on track.


You are ruining the forum. Ban youself and take a nice 2 week cruise? Things will still be here when you return I'm sure.

 

[Gek54]

What do you mean?

Becuase the crashes couldnt happen at normal speed without the game dropping to 5fps?

Why not?

You didn't answer my question.

 

[Dry Oatmeal]

You didn't answer my question.

Someone already did. You wanna threaten me I'll shit down your neck.


Or are you really that thick that you didn't understand the premise of my original post.

 

[bishoptl]

Oh, OK. I just wanted to make sure. Thank you.

 

[Gek54]

Why not?

Ever played a game that slows down becuase there is a ton of physics being calculated all at once?

 

[Kaeru]

but teh brown mud looks so exciting...mmmm brown is real!

 

[Gek54]

Because even the PS3 has it's limits?


Oh shit now I'm really banned....

As you should be.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Sooo...anyone want to take a shot at the fallacy of what Gek54 and the unfortunate Dry Oatmeal was suggesting?

Anyone? It seems pretty easy guys. It's not that hard.

 

[bishoptl]

Why do people have to be so UNKIND?

 

[Oneself]

WTF? I think I missed something :lol@Dry Oatmeal

I think the slow mo crashes are a design choice.. cause I've seen others (CPU) crash a lot and it does not slow down...

 

[seanoff]

I suspect its a DEMO design choice.

sort of "hey this looks spectacular, lets make the demo do that" I suspect (hope) that the final game has a option to turn it on and off esp given that AI opponents don't slow mo and online it would f*** up the game.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Design choice...let's see...

A game can't handle the graphical and physics calculations at a decent framerate....so it shows it slowdown at 30 fps still...er...

Hmmmm....

Cars can slam, crash, break apart, riders flung apart in the middle of races which some can be caused by you no less...yet if it's the player's crash it slows down because...it can't handle it now?

A video of a truck being sideswiped by a flipping car crashing into it with the player on a motorcycle just narrowly missing being squished by being in between the two vehicles it can handle....but a crash on the part of the player it can't at full speed....would certainly be funny programming and polishing issues.

 

[Y2Kev]

What the **** just happened here?

 

[bishoptl]

I don't know, but I think I need to lie down on the couch with a cold compress on my forehead.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

What the **** just happened here?

If you're going to taunt a lion you better not be stupid enough to poke it with a stick and then afterwards try to runaway yelling at it to defend yourself.

 

[Rody]

I have experienced slowdown on games, of course. I just don't know if it was caused by physics or whatever.
But why would "MotorStorm" slow down if when the AI racers crash it doesn't?

 

[Zaptruder]

That was an intresting meltdown.

"I'll shit down your neck!"

Vitriolic!

AI crashes are much more simplified in comparison to what all is moving around in your crash. I am pretty sure the burnout games had to do the same thing.

 

[davepoobond]

:lol :lol :lol @ Dry Oatmeal

shit down your neck

 

[Gahiggidy]

I don't know about Europe... but it was a launch game in the US. I know b/c I saw it running on the store kiosk (played by someone else, not me.)

 

[krypt0nian]

After all is said and done, no one likes Dry Oatmeal.

Burnout had the option to slow mo Crashes in Takedown so you can control the where the debris goes.

Burnout Revenge slow moed to highlight type of takedown both Burnouts could do Crash mode at full speed where the Framerate would be hammered the most I bet Motorstorm Crashes online will go at full speed to for multiplayer reasons.

Just the visual imagery alone is very unsanitary. Damn, why do I have to have a mental image of everything?

I agree. In the Japanese version, in sidewinder gulch near the start there's a bridge where all the AI try to squeeze through and you can have 7-8 cars literally crash together, cars flipping, pieces flying all over the place and the game doesn't really go slow-mo.

Hmmm... I'm not convinced.

Was it running on the kiosk at your aunt's Mom & Pop store? Maybe she held the exclusive launch party.

Spoiler

You saw a demo.

 

[Fatghost]

Spoiler

You saw a demo.

And a shitty early build at that. The later demo is significantly better

Tons of fun.

:lol at Dry Oatmeal.

but very :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Branduil]

So are there any updates on the gameplay or are they only telling us about the "mad grafix"?

 

[Yama]

Awesome, happy I waited for the US version.

Wish it had some real ATV's though.

Press any button during that to stop it and get back to the track.
