    Sony To Bring In-House Racing Studios Together

    Sony have two in-house racing developers. Evolution Studios, who do MotorStorm, and SCEE Liverpool, who do WipeOut. Seems a bit silly having two teams doing the one genre, doesn't it? Does to Sony. More »

    MotorStorm's Target Render "Pissed Us Off A Lot" Say Devs

    Evolution Studios lead designer Nigel Kershaw and creative director Paul Hollywood, responsible for the recent MotorStorm: Pacific Rift for the PlayStation 3, tell 1UP that the "infamous" E3 2005 trailer for the first MotorStorm "kind of pissed us off a lot." Why? Well, for one thing, it wasn't created by them and set the team up for "expectations about the rendering prowess that we were going to expose." More »

    MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Review: A Festival of Mayhem

    Last year’s MotorStorm gave PlayStation 3 owners a novel concept, a game that added context and surroundings much more compelling than you usually get in pick-up-and-play racers. Half the fun was the exquisitely hallucinated reason for it all, that there could actually be a beyond-extreme rally “festival” held in Utah’s Monument Valley, sort of like Sturgis meets Burning Man with loads more violent collisions and fatal wrecks. And, one assumes, crazy monkey sex in everyone’s tents at night. More »

    Owners of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift will have good reason to fire up their copies of the PlayStation 3 racer well after launch date, as Evolution Studios says it's planning on releasing "something new to play with every week" much of it expected to be absolutely free. Since the title doesn't ship to Evolution's home turf until November, don't expect anything this Thursday, though. More »

    MotorStorm With Mini-Motorbike Motion Controller

    This isn't a product, but rather a concept product. Spotted a mini-motorcycle that had been modded with an embedded PS3 SIXAXIS controller. The guy on the motorbike said the original plan was to have the game projected lower so players weren't looking up at the wall, but it wasn't possible to work that out logistically, apparently. Fittingly, the PS3 was running MotorStorm, and playing it on a mini-bike did give the title an nostalgically arcadey feel. The only downside was that the handle was a tad too low so twisting the throttle wasn't so easy on the wrist.

    New MotorStorm Pacific Rift Screens

    You know, when you think about it MotorStorm was pretty good. There was definitely a sort of awe when it came to racing along the edge of a mile high cliff and being able to see everything. Hopefully, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift will be able to carry the torch further and fill in the gaps the original MotorStorm left empty. These new screenshots show off some of the gosh darn gorgeous visuals we can't wait to see in person. Four player split screen with giant monster trucks and molten lava? Count us in! More »

    MotorStorm 2 Demo Invites Going Out Via Email

    Looks like Motorstorm: Pacific Rift's pre-release demo isn't strictly limited to the Qore subscribing elite. We've heard from many a tipster that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has been sending out invites for the demo version of the Motorstorm sequel, freeing it from its shackles as a strictly pay-to-play demo. That means you should definitely check your inbox, your spam filter and get in touch with your friends across the pond. They might have a spare for you. Thanks to everyone who sent this in — Philip took the first place tip spot and gets the Kotaku no-prize.

    Goodbye, 80GB Motorstorm Bundle

    Ah, 80GB MotorStorm bundle. You've been a good friend. Well, you haven't to me, since PAL territories never got you, but...you've been a good friend to somebody, I bet. And that's what's really important. And that friend will have cherished the good times: the MotorStorm, the backwards compatability, the increased storage space the 80GB model affords. So when you wave goodbye to the bundle - which Sony say is no longer being sent to retailers by Sony - try and remember those good times, OK? And, I don't know...make new friends. Like the 80GB MGS4 bundle which will replace it. Just don't get too attached to that one. You never know how long it's going to last... More »

    Sony Drops Two New Motorstorm Tracks

    Could be time to get back behind the wheel of your mud-covered vehicle of choice, as Sony has dropped two brand new tracks for their off-road racer Motorstorm onto the PlayStation Network today. Diamondback is a twisting speedway circuit that will tax your diving abilities to their very limits, while Eagle's Nest is a track set atop a remote mesa that you will more than likely find yourself falling off again...and again...and again. If you've mastered all of the original tracks for the game as well as their mirrored counterparts introduced in the 3.1 update, these two tracks are just the thing to add a little more life into your game. The packs are (or should be) available via the PSN today for $2.99. More »

    Sony Paid $32.6 Million For Motorstorm Studio

    To acquire Motorstorm developer Evolution and their Pursuit Force subsidiary BigBig, Sony forked over £16 million, which translates to a little over $32 million. So is that a lot of money? Considering the importance of Motorstorm in the first year of the PS3 platform and the dollars Sony has sunk into the game's marketing and combo distribution, it makes little sense not to buy the studio before the Motorstorm 2 media frenzy begins and keep the expenses and profits a little more in-house.

    It's going to be a straight up PLAYSTATION 3 weekend for me, as I'm slogging through Ninja Gaiden Sigma—I'm somewhere around chapter 13 right now and not that skilled yet—and I recently had a revelation. It turns out the Motorstorm is pretty damn fun. I had totally forgotten about the game, despite hyping it for months and picking it up day one. It just didn't get that much play in my PS3 since its release, but I've realized I'm pretty damn good at Motorstorm. More »

    Resistance Opens Servers, MotorStorm Gets Online

    Irritating thing about MotorStorm in Japan? No online. Irritating thing about Resistance online? The games were server based. So living in Japan meant that I'd only play with Japanese folks — Which is fine. But, you know, sometimes you want the death matches to have an international flavor. Sony just sent out an email saying that Resistance will be on region-less servers now, meaning Japanese people can play online with North Americans and Europeans. Other details? Sony also mentioned that a FolksSoul (Folk Lore) will be getting a playable demo starting June 1st, and the Japanese version of MotorStorm will *finally* be getting online. Guess I shouldn't have sold back Resistance. Guess I should buy MotorStorm! Brian Ashcraft More »
