New Motorstorm screens

Wow, how come I've never heard of evolution studios before? If some new underground developer can come up with this, I can't begin to ponder what Sony's Santa Monica studios has in store for the PS3, let alone TEAM ICO.

They aren't really that underground. They made some of the best looking racing games on the PS2 this gen (WRC), but most of them weren't released in the US. So alot of people have never heard of them before.

You might wanna read up on Evolution Studios, they are hardly underground.
 
From looking at the newest trailer with the Nirvana song, the demo build shown recently is certainly different and older than this newest of builds (which looks fvcking unbelievable).

Wow, awesome draw distance. This game really is a technical wonder. I just hope the sense of speed matches the visuals - if it does, wow.

Dude, ease off a little. That's in effect a skybox. It's retarded to draw full geometry out that far when it's not going to affect the actual game.

Evo studios do (done?) the WRC series. Great gameplay, awesome graphics.

ergh - at least the part with the awesome visuals is true. in terms of gameplay, we will see. wrc had a real problem throughout the series with the weight of the cars. they were to light and therefore you could fly huge distances, if you lost grip, making emerging gameplay impossible in the end.

Just because some might be interested to know, that shot is in Edge's preview..so these shots may not all be from the latest builds of the game.

The real question should be how new is the demo build vs. the newest in-progress development build of the game? Were gamers playing a build of the game that was stable but a couple of months old?
 
On the gameplay front, Evo mentioned in the recent Edge article that they were toying with an option to enable persistent crashes during a race. So say there's a wreck in front of a valuable ramp or something, that would add an emergent obstacle to the track. That would be cool. I'd like to see a no-respawn option as well for the hardcore types (like me). Or at least a significant delay for online play (15/20 seconds or so) to help boost the risk/reward factor. That would add a little extra drama to those terrific crashes. :D

I know in interviews they've said the quick respawn you see is there so that you always feel in the action. They don't want people to feel like they have to wait. It's suppose to be action, action, action all the time. But what you've suggested isn't a bad idea.

And Sony's really be pushing ATV Offroad Fury 4 alot. I know its a popular series, but I wonder if they're also trying to get people who're interested in Motorstorm to pay attention to that also. They've added different vehicles into it with this one also.

It's all vibrant and pleasant to the eye and stuff but the geometry detail, environment textures and texture filtering still suck, case in point: look at the track surface and canyon walls. I don't get how people can hail this game as if it were the second coming of christ or something.

EDIT: Also, does this game have only one track or something.. because every single photo we've seen seems to be from the same red canyon..

Have you actually seen any videos of this game? I mean, at all?

Yes I have, the gameplay looks fun but the graphics are simply not that great.

Now, why did I know that you'd say something like this from the moment I saw your username here?

I hope they put the option in. Default to non-persitent crashes if you want, but put the persistence option in.

What the hell... Have you looked at 720p videos? The texture detail in the track is really good, they put parallax mapping to good use with cracks on the road and such. It also looks like it's using at 4xAF or so, there's no all to familiar blurring in the distance of the track.

I hope there is an option to watch our crashes fully 'finish' ...

I love the chaos. Most of the videos have you respawn before the crash completes though.



It doesn't have to be in-game either, as long as it is in the replays.


That reminds me, does anyone know what sort of replay capabilities this has? I'm really hoping you can move the camera around, etc.

That's probably asking for a lot for he first game in this franchise ... but it better be there for part 2!!! :D

OK, the non-gameplay shots do absolutely nothing for me, but that shot that Bad_Boy posted of actual gameplay --- that looks HAWT. If the gameplay lives up to those visuals, it'll be one of the first games I grab for the PS3.

Looks hot! I'd love for them to release new footage from the latest build. The demo should be quite a treat. I need a PS3 this holiday, forildo. PEACE.
