Do the tickets first. It's fun and you obviously learn the ropes.

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift |OT|
- Thread starter EktorPR
- Start date
I picked this up yesterday and have been playing for the past few hours, here's some thoughts:
-The game starts you on probably the worst looking 2 tracks I have seen so far, I'm not sure they look bad in all conditions, because lighting can have an effect on these tracks, but when i started playing i thought it looked like a downgrade from the original.
After moving to the water, fire and air zones, I was relieved to find this game is actually very beautiful.
-Some of the tracks are really nice, i can't remember the names just yet, but Rain God Spires which i just finished was great (I'm really hoping for more levels on the Grizzley/Sidewinder side of things)
-machine handling in tighter
- why can't i but e brake on the square button? it's feels unnatural having to use the circle to brake for me
So far so good anyway, definitely a step up from the original

this sucks
you can't play custom soundtracks when playing online!
I can't believe its due to technical reasons

Surprised noone wants to ask them anything. I asked how many objects the MotorStorm engine can handle for collisiondeepbrown said:You can ask Evolution Studios questions here: http://www.gamezine.co.uk/features/game-types/driving-and-racing/motorstorm-speaks-ask-evolution-studios-$1250313.htm

What about Warhawk? That has got xmb custom tracks and voice chat...Slaylock said:
I finally got gold on this, damn it feels good! I can confirm the first lap is meaningless, just be sure to be at least 6th. Then take the suggested route, boost parcimoniously (after the big jump, I go low on the right then boost back up, jump a little boost through the water and up the inclination, then I boost in the corner, not in the straightaway, corner, and boost till the finish line) and take that last corner as best as you can. I did not make a perfect run, yet I won it in something like 3'42"83. Keep at it!Bajan32 said:

I'm stuck on the Razorback Rank 7 race that requires the racing truck. What a pain. I can keep 1st through the entire race, and somewhere after that incline near the end where you enter the cave/big drop, the bastard gets unlimited boost seemingly and always gets me by 2 seconds.
I usually drop down in the cave at the end, and squeeze through the little opening at the far right (with the destructable stalactite) with a handbrake slide. The CPU usually goes to the left a bit and takes the wooden ramp. He over takes just before that.
Anyone have any better routes?

I think the vehicles are much more predictable in PR. Just give it some time.
As I play (still early in the game, won 6-7 races in each zone) and discover new tracks I keep asking myself how are they going to top this in terms of environment variety?
For MS3 I would love to have some Smuggler's Run mode/features meaning a more open world not limited to specific tracks. I thought of that probably because the smoking gates in the Speed tickets remind me of SR a bit.

I understand how you feel...Bajan32 said:
Now that I've taken a break from this game for 1 week (thank God for WotLK), I'm considering starting it up again. Sheesh, it's so much fun but damn, that rubberband ain't jokin' around.Seiken said:

This is one of those games that keeps nagging me to buy it. While I can resist Resistance and Little Big Planet, Motorstorm keeps coming up as something I'd like to own. John Davidson's glowing revue might have played a role in that.
into this M*****F***ing piece of shit bullshit and now matter what they wont give me my gold medal..
This is beyond ridiculous, this is just absurd. I can understand losing based on skill, i can understand sometimes shit happens and victory just escapes your grasp, and i understand that shit aint supposed to be easy....
but THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!, every fucking try its some bullshit, get run over, flipped, crush, out driven, out turboed, out numbered and out of fucking luck...
take the fastest route possible, drive perfect 2 laps, last jump look down at one of the AI drivers about 3 secs ahead by some magic fucking bullshit then watch them hit turbo nonstop to the end while i gotta figure out how to line up that last run up the stream so i dont blow the fuck up trying to hold onto 2nd....
Im sorry but all the fun left this fucking game for me...i realized i wasnt even smiling, laughing, crying or anything.. just sitting there racing over and over and over hoping to pull off a god damn miracle.......

You're gonna have a heart attack dude, I do remember some crap like that on the 1st Motorstorm, I never got all tickets in that game.
I was playing all night until 4:00am or so. Rank 7 Razorback Elimination Race with the bike... no chance for me... How are you supposed to win gold on this event???
MSR is awesome, it's like playing a CGI render video, I enjoy it so much, but I can't win gold on this event :-(
Anyone got gold there? How did you achieve this?

hold up the smaller cars for the first lap at all cost. crash into them, make them take corners wide hold them up behind you, and let the trucks get a healthy lead. on the 2nd lap. GUN IT!! the smaller cars are the only ones that can keep up but since you have a nice cluster of trucks infront of you it will make it harder for them (the smaller,faster cars) to overtake you, and it should be relatively easy for you to overtake the trucks after the waterfall.
Enjoy.

Oh god, the meltdowns. *lol*
I'm sticking with online for now.
I really could do without one of my own for the next week or so.

OP is jizztastic.
what the heck is wrong with online rangking going up and down like its outa controll. Ive played a shitload of online ranged races today but my rang got up and down (!). Yes thats right one time i placed 4 its gone down from 50 to 20 or something like this. Then i placed 2 and it gone up to 60 again. The funy thing it actually unlocked a video while going DOWN WHAT?

Well the love in this thread has gotten me to pick up Motorstorm. I'll get PR as soon as it's in my price range ($30-40) if I like it.

Haha, yea..
Going HD around Christmas some time. Just waiting for a good deal. It's torture going from my friends 48" 1080P set to my 28" SD. Yea, you want to finish 1-3 all the time if you want to see your rank shoot up. As you get higher in rank you get less and less points for 1st. Rank 3 (or 4, veteran. What ever that one is.) silver I'm getting 7 points for 1st place. 4th gets me nothing and I think 5th and down makes me lose points. Getting to Rank 6 (legend) online is going to take a lot of time.
Not completely sure on this point thing because it's changed for me depending on how many people were in the race.

This game blows me away. The graphics are amazing and possibly better than anything I've seen this year. Gave this less than 9 out of 10? You're dead to me.

FUCK! the elimiator on Razorback with the bike is HARD!
This level is harder than MS1's Buggy Messa race.
