You must do the different part challenges (includes drifting, airtime, opponents beaten and opponents wrecked).subversus said:
Speaking of part challenges, earlier today i finished my final airtime challenge. Now i have finished all airtime, driting and opponents beaten challenges
I have completed 40 opponents wrecked challenges, but i will never be able to get all 117 of them, it simply takes too long time and it is quite difficult with most of the vehicle classes in my opinion.test_account

No, it is just cosmetical differences. All the tier models runs and handles the same.subversus said:

All the vehicles classes handles differently after my experience, like the rally car handles differently compared to the muscle car.subversus said:
But all the extra unlocked vehicles are just cosmetical differences. It doesnt matter if you chose tier 1, 2 or 3 for i.e rally car. All those 3 cars are rally cars and will handle the same. So the only reason to unlock extra vehicles is to make the vehicles look differently.

Yep, basically it is one carsubversus said:

I think i missunderstood a bit what you ment with tier. I guess you're referring to the part challenges? Then it is basically 3 different vehicles. I mean, you cant unlock parts for Italia Cirrus (the 2nd rally car) when using Wulff Bolter (the 1st rally car). To unlock parts, you must use the specific vehicle models. You must use the Italia Cirrus if you want to unlock parts for Italia Cirrus.subversus said:
But yeah, there is no real advantage to unlock any of the extra vehicles, so you dont have to use time on grinding unless you want the cosmetical differences on the vehicles.
Most of the challenges are actually not that hard, but it can definitely be time consuming (maybe that is what you mean?). The only challenge that is difficult in my opinion is the "opponents wrecked". But luckily you dont have to complete any of these to unlock all the vehicles
I agree, i also hope to see Motorstorm 4 for PS4 =)

Just got the game today, seems pretty cool so far. The mode editor is awesome, every racing game needs one like this. Setting the gravity and the different vehicles you're racing against is great and of course the single race option (mysteriously absent in the first game) is really good to have.
I think Split Second stole a lot of the thunder in terms of the destruction around you and the city setting, so atmosphere wise I liked the first one better (never did get around to trying Pacific Rim.)
Quick question, I seem to remember the menu saying you can change difficulty in the story mode but I haven't seen the option anywhere. Where is it (if there is one)? Thanks.

In the first corner, try to cut the corner more to the right (no need to drive in the water). This can save a bit of time.BeeDog said:
Once you exit the first pipe, dont do all the way to the right, but take the jump to the left to get a engine cooldown. After this, i took the pipe to the right. In this pipe, use boost while you drive in the water, then let the boost go a bit for fast cooldown. I'm not sure if this is the fastest route, but i made it within 3 seconds or so of the time limit.
Not really sure what more to say. Boost managment perhaps, do not get it into overboost, this usually makes you lose time. Unless it is right before a bigger jump though, then overboosting can be a good thing. Try to get it right up to the top before you get that beep beep beep sound, then cool it down for a few second before using the boost again.

When i tried Motorstorm Apocalypse again today, i had to download patch 1.05 again. I havnt deleted anything. It is the first time i've played it since firmware 3.72. Has anyone else experienced this? I dont have any problems with downloading the patch again, but i'm just wondering why it happened.
Also, is there any news on when the next downloadable challenge will be available? The last one came out like a month ago or so.

That must be it, thanksTTP said:
I could swear it said 1.05, but i was sitting infront my PC while i started the game, so maybe i didnt check it that carefully.Cool to see that they tuned the muscle car. That vehicle class hardly had any advantage at all.
How does Move support work in this game by the way? I cant see any particular use for it in this game.

It's not supported yet (despite the Move splash screens at start up). Curious to check it out myself.

Yeah, i ment what it will supportTTP said:
Like, what usage will Move have with this game, wondered if there were any info on this. I just cant see any logical use for Move in this game. So i'm also curious what it will be.test_account said:Yeah, i ment what it will support
Well, I guess for driving. It's totally possible pointing the controller upwards and tilting it like a joystick.
Did you see that arcade flight sim supporting Move?

That would be one use indeed. I just found it a bit curious since the game already supports sixaxis motion control, but i the more the merrier i guess, so i cant complain about more control support =)TTP said:
No, havnt seen that flight sim video, but i found it on YouTube now. Looks like good implementation indeed
Regarding that split screen stuff, does it show 2 pictures in 3D? Or is it just 2D when using that split screen technology?

Move sensors are much more accurate/responsive than the sixaxis ones
SimulView is 2 pictures in 2D

True, sixaxis is near impossible for me in Motorstorm Apocalyse, but i havnt really tried it that much though.TTP said:Move sensors are much more accurate/responsive than the sixaxis ones

Ok, thanks for the info
I didn't really experience this, but I'm not really that sensitive to IQ. I didn't have any issues with IQ preventing me from seeing the track, just the loads of onscreen action getting in the way from time to time.
Nope.
The game is higher than 720p so I have no idea what you're having issues with.
Finally tried this with my Sony HMZ 3D heatset thing. And omg, I don't know if it was just a big truck driving by my window in real life or something, but there were certain parts where I felt like I was losing my footing. Mainly the events where the ground gave out.
It might have been the combination of the 3D and the eirphones (which I had cranked up).
One thing I hated was there was no single player where you could just trigger the events urself only. All options allowed 3 ai drivers or more....and time attack didn't have the events feature.
Mind you this was the orginal build, hven't updated yet...was this later changed in a patch?

The IQ is fine, but some places on the tracks there are a long of "blending" details with the enviorment, so it can be a bit difficult to see where the track goes if you're not familiar with the track. Which angle do you see the car from by the way? I find it most difficult to use the hood cam. But just keep playing the tracks until you learn them. Once you learn them and where the track goes, it isnt really that hard in my opinion.
In story mode, only you trigger the events as far as i know. No idea about offline multiplayer though.
I'd really like to test this game out with that HMZ 3D headset, or just using a 3DTV for that matter just to see the game in 3D.

I havnt heard about that issue before, so unfortunately i cant be of much assist there, sorry. I think that the game looks really good on my TV at least.

I played it 3-4 days ago and there were still people playing. But i dont know if this was during a "good hour" if it is standard.

Not actually that important
Yes there is, at least at night (GMT). It's rare to find full 16 grid races tho, more likely between 8 and 12 racers.
Dunno if it's always been like that since I picked it up a few months after launch.
Some people actually prefer it that way. I've seen many complain about the comics.
On another note how is the 3D in this this fellas?
Sweet pics Dibbz.
edit: Ok just saw Afrikan's post.
Yeah the comics were the weakest part of the game. It's weird but I think MS1 had the best "story". It was all told through the loading screens and was basically just tips for each track but the way it was written was great. It felt like there was a teacher/mentor type person guiding you through the festival. I don't remember the last tip on the last race but I remember feeling like it was the end of a awesome journey.

Just picked this up for $5 at Best Buy (<3 GAF).
Who wants to play some MP!?!

Finally got this thanks to the insane Best Buy deal, I can't believe it took me this long to pick it up. The story cutscenes are stupid and pointless, and sweet jesus the load times are long, but it's a pretty gnarly game. The racing is pure MotorStorm Goodness™ and I love the dynamic tracks. What a steal.
One major complaint: they removed the middle finger taunt, wtf
