For real? the fuck? Looks like I need to play more. I only played the online mode and a couple of offline races so far. I didn't notice the difference in stats outside the car categories of course. In the first game all the cars in the same category were identical.

most definitely
So it's not science at all there. If they do with telling you the cars are having the same stats, I don't see why they would actually lie and make them different.
I call PLACEBO. It's easy to get fooled visually because of the car and maybe its impact on the camera stand point.

Well if the car looks differently, I'm sure it will ride a bit different. It is a physics based racing game, so while the acceleration/handling/whatever might be the same, I'm sure a lower rally car would have more trouble on bumpy terrain than a higher one.
Just my 2 cents. I dunno if that's actually true as I havent touched my copy of MS
R in a while. You guys still playing out there in gafland?

For the people who have the game, does it look better than the first MotorStorm ? I think MotorStorm is the game I went out and bought a 50' HDTV for, I have played the demo but I am just not WOWed by the graphics ...

I think it looks a lot better. I know there have been some complaints about the graphics, but personally, I think they top motorstorm by a lot. Its the little things like the bushes bending, the water, the increased details on cars. All these small things add up to make a beautiful picture....atleast when I played this game at launch :lol

There were lots of comments about the demo having slightly inferior graphics, which I was never convinced by on my old SD TV, but it is certainly one of the worst tracks visually.

The demo is an old build. The retail version looks fantastic, especially the lighting.Unregistered007 said:
Also, what a great time to get back into this game. Free DLC!

If that doesn't WOW you, especially in motion on the 50", I don't know what will.
The demo tracks - be sure to check out the second demo ! - are rather simple graphically, none really show off the tropical aspect of Pacific Rift.
The first one only has rocks and dirt, the second one is better, with a lot more vegetation, mud and a waterfall and a river, which is part of the track.
But the full game has tracks around lava, through a volcano crater, through an old village, a military base / airport, along the beach, through rivers, an old sugar factory, through canyons, alongside rivers, through mud streams, etc. etc.

Motionflow features and similar would make the game look like that though.

Damn. You're right.Oneself said:
But it's a super smooth 30fps, with a shitload of stuff going on and a shaky cam effect on top of that. Sensory overload.

I think we are talking the about the performance differences in different models of vehicles from the same type/genre .
the old Rally car and the Rally car with huge wing for example , is there a huge performance differences between the cars in the same category .

One of the best looking games this gen imo. The demo track doesn't look any different in the full version to me. That track isn't much to look at. Some of the others....wow. It's a much better game than the first.

Just curious, but how did you take those? They look amazing.
Glad to see the official thread is still going. I just got the game on Sunday. Small story about that. Picked it up from Best Buy, noticed the plastic wrap was ripped a little but thought nothing of it. Opened it up the next day and realized the game wasn't even in the case. Luckily they took it back no questions asked.
But anyways, this game is so much fun (as you all know
). When I first saw the footage of the game I didn't think it looked as good as the first MS but this one in motion when I'm playing it is just insane. I can't stop playing it. So glad I finally got it. :lolthanks
I always drop the field of view (R2 I think) to the minimum and search for the best angles.
I have some really amazing ones yet to export from the ps3. Those I posted were the first two races I had after I found the photo option lol :lol You can see those races were with clouds.
tomorrow I'll export the rest of them, the ones in the sun (really amazing ones)

Yeah, it gets very tough and I've sometimes felt the way you are feeling. BUT. I've learned to just race without over boosting against the tougher AI. Never hold it for more than a couple seconds until the last stretch before the finish line. You'll always catch up to the top of the pack by the halfway mark of the last lap so don't try boosting and fighting your way until then. That's what I've learned at least... Hopefully it helps you.
It's like the game "decides" when you can get close to the front. Also, no crashing and choosing the right path helps a ton.
....Oh and if you're having particular trouble with a certain vehicle ona certain track and can't seem to catch up to the rest, just go to time attack and choose the developers' ghosts and follow exactly what they do. It helped when I was a monster truck against a bunch of bikes and buggies

Yeah it's hard to find. But you can go to your garage and it lists what you have. I guess you need to really squint at the pics they provide and try to guess which class of which car the skin is available for lol.
