What do you have to do to unlock a few more vehicles and pilots without having to gold everything? I have over 9000
D) points and I still haven't unlocked that outfit. I guess that by getting the heavy weight trophies and whatnot you get some according vehicles.BrainZEROX

1) use the handbrake Luke! (last corner on Razorback)
2) use the 1st person view, it's soooo much more impressive

What the hell is going on with the veto system? Every first map in a ranked match I get in gets vetoed, often resulting in two maps getting selected, namely Beach Comber and Raingod Spire. Do people really not want to race the other tracks?
Tracks are awesome, but they can be a bit confusing until you learn them. It's like one long race of: Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!SSM25 said:
It's not an issue, like all racing games, you need to learn the tracks. MS2 just have some really crazy tracks with all sorts of paths and obstacles, so you need to race them a couple of times to figure them out.

Caldera Ridge is one of my favourite tracks, it's relatively simple in terms of routes you can take, but has an awesome short-cut down through the crater, though the guy in that video doesn't take it.
Overall the tracks are very good, I think there is only one or two that I don't like as much as the others.
I revisited MS1 this weekend, it still looks pretty nice, but the handling is no where near as tight as in Pacific Rift. The new Bikes are a joy to use.
finally got the game and it's has given me more holy shit moments then any game released this year.
only played 7 or so races, but i can safely say it's an improvement over the 1st one in every possible way. reviewers are batshit insane criticizing the track design, then again, it just further proves my theory that reviewers like to have their hands held when playing games.

I picked it up on Sunday and have played about 3 hours so far. Man what a great game. Whoever put the demo on the PSN should be friggin shot. If I had played one of the more impressive tracks as a demo, i would of bought this game day 1. Online is awesome, a party system in a racer!
I just completed the Rift: Going Deep, i'm getting near the end now.
This game is absolutely beautiful in places. I think it is the lighting on a level than can really change how good it looks, and Evolution more often than not get it looking really nice. The contrast between the dark tunnels of Rift: Going Deep, and the brightly lit open-air sections where your vehicle casts a long shadow, really are amongst some of the best graphics on the PS3.
Slowing my bike down on a corner only to see the shadow of a monstertruck creep into my lower screen, or narrowly avoiding a crash between 3 or 4 trucks really gets my heart racing

They shouldve put scorched or edge on the demo. First time I played those two tracks my arsehole was so tight because of the tension that I didnt crap for a week.grendelrt said:
True story.
And what is this rubberband AI everyone keeps speaking of? From what I understand it means that opponents are always behind you no matter how well you do or is that not what you guys mean? When I play online its the same thing really. I could be in front, crash and be bumped back to 5th place in an instant.
I think saves are locked to the PS3 because of trophies. Are you playing under the same PSN acccount as the save?
Quick questions about online. I see people crash and go transparent because of select I'm guessing, then appear ahead of me with the same or more speed than me. How is this even possible? Some sort of glitch or is it just lag?

You'd think that as long as you were signed in under the same PSN account saves should work no matter what PS3 you are on.Gav said:
Well a quick look at my MS2 game save and it shows that there is a lock. It says Lock: Copying Prohibited but for Mirrors Edge there is no lock. I'm guessing it's up to the dev to put locks on saves which is kinda stupid.
Seems like you're out of luck. Your trophies should sync up though since they're stored on a server far far away

Mario Kart Wii is the only racing game that I know has this feature
FYI for those interested in this game.
It's currently $39.98 at Amazon. Apply coupon code "MSTORM10" in the coupon code box for an extra $10 savings. (Edit: this is Amazon's deal of the day so it appears it will expire on the 19th)
This brought my total to $29.98. I have Amazon Prime so I got 2 day free shipping. MSPR for under $30 is a smoking hot deal if you ask me.

Hey, online scoring question....does it start to get really stingy with giving out points as you progress? When i was a grunt and finished 2nd out of 12, I'd get 10-12 points it seemed, not as a mid level veteran Im getting like 3 for an equal finish, most races if I finish 4th-6th I get one point...and then I had one bad race (DNF) and lost 5!!!

The textures still look like crap to me. Getting this for Christmas though, Motorstorm was awesome.Goldrusher said:

And it plays as fast and insane as Burnout Paradise or WipEout HD, even though there's a million times more things happening on-screen. Plants everywhere, debris everywhere, opponents all around you, storming through deforming mud, water, sand and lava.
If the "crappy textures" make that happen, so be it.
But you'll see for yourself ! Good to hear your buying/getting it anyway, regardless of the texture quality.

Yeah, I notice that in the demo. Looks great in motion, looks alright in screens. To me at least.Jim said:

The demo for MS: PR was super lame and I hated it. But in spite of this I bought the full game on Gold Box today. If it sucks, I'm gonna be forced to cut someone. Just a heads up.
Wow, seriously, I can't get enough of this game! It's so crazy intense and fun. Never really played any arcade racer quite as bonkers lol. It even makes the old Motorstorm seem a little timid and cumbersome. That rush you get when getting gigantic air, bursting through vegetation, heat haze, waterfalls etc whilst seeing a dozen other riders zip past or at your sides, with the motion blur, the lighting, post process effects etc. It's just insane.
I can't get enough of the visuals. Colossus Canyon and The Edge of Oblivion...wow.
Me and my fiancee just played for 2 hours straight. Admittedly she was on it about 75% of the time. Everyone of my flat mates is hooked too. The game is just incredibly adrenaline rush inducing. Some of the language that comes out of people's mouth's when playing the game is also quite humorous. Proper road rage.
Anyone else think the water is some of the best in any game? The waterfall/river rapids segment in Colossus Canyon. Near CGI/video quality like. In-fact, at one point I thought it was a video stream ala Onimusha. It looks that good.

For 2 player split screen is it possible to switch it to top/bottom rather than left/right?

Yes. Exponentially.AFreak said:
I've been playing for five hours straight now. Almost all that time has been spent online. This is my first day playing online.. and I'm really impressed. I didn't know it was this good and this polished. MS1's online was kind of barebones, this is just awesomeness.
