​

/!\ UPDATE

For a limited time, in the US, the Vita version will be available for free!

That’s right—for a limited time, the complete Vita MotorStorm RC game is available for download absolutely free – no additional purchases necessary! Not only that, but you’ll be able to drive a custom RC version of Scion’s iQ which is exclusive to the PS Vita version of the game. And be sure to check out the plethora of downloadable content which will become available for purchase for both versions of the game tomorrow.

Thanks to our partners at Scion.

As for the trophies...

The Trophies for both versions are identical, so you can earn them on either PSVita or PS3.
All of your progress on MotorStorm RC will always be seamlessly synchronised between PS3 and PSVita over PSN, including Trophies, so you can play back-and-forth between the two without skipping a beat.

MotorStorm RC is also technically two different games: a PSVita version and a PS3 version. So even though it can be cross-played on both PSVita and PS3, there are in fact two Trophy lists.
Your Trophies will be synchronised between the two consoles, so this won’t be doubly difficult.

A couple extra features for the PS3 version...

On PS3 there’s also stereoscopic 3D and offline multi-player: 2-player SimulView (same-screen) and 4-player (split-screen).

I loved the micro machines games back in the day, and I like that this is 1080p with local multiplayer on PS3. It seems like a good deal if you own both platforms, will buy.

 

[Hyuga]

Wut? Awesome price!
Bought!

 

[Wario64]

Great price. Hopefully it's as great as the other Motorstorms

 

[darkwing]

what is the price in $$$ it's not coming out in NA?

Evolution says:

Fans from everywhere else around the world, you'll have to wait just a little longer for the release date and price to be confirmed (unfortunately).

 

[Wario64]

what is the price in $$$ it's not coming out in NA?

Should equal to $10. We should know within a few hours


Edit: Oh I see. That's a bummer then if not next week for US

 

[solarus]

If you got the preorder pack, you essentially get this for free (£5 voucher for psn).

 

[petethepanda]

Eagerly anticipating reviews. I'd also love a modern Micro Machines fix.

This sounds like an answer someone would give to a very intelligent person.

 

[darkwing]

btw there is no online for this right?

 

[aknbad30]

Sounds pretty good. Just need a $$$ price.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

That's a great price. Day one for me.

5.99 with 2 platinums? This game will sell like hotcakes, regardless of quality

I still think that instead of online passes that enable online modes they have pass that enable trophies.

5.99 with 2 platinums? This game will sell like hotcakes, regardless of quality

Pretty much. I see this atop the PSN bestselliers list for many months to come.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The game looks so fun anyways. I would pay up to 10 for both going by the Euro pricing.

Super Offroad spiritual successor here.

 

[cw_sasuke]

And another launch title for me - time to get some PSN friends.

[KalBalboa]

I'd pay fifteen American. I'm betting it's $10 though, seeing as how absurdly great the Vita's launch has been when it chimes to consumer advocacy.

They want you to buy these things asap with your tax money get online with 3g, and start using near.

 

[TheExodu5]

That's a smoking deal. Sold. Don't care about the trophies, but a good quality game on two systems for $10 would be great.

 

[prwxv3]

If the game does well will they add online in a patch?

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Euro : USD is usually converted 1:1, so expect this to cost $5.99 in the USA.

Jesus... you're probably right. That's amazing.

 

[Saroyan]

This looks like Fallout meets Super off road, the tracks look awesome and I'm hoping the game is fun to play

 

[darkwing]

Euro : USD is usually converted 1:1, so expect this to cost $5.99 in the USA.

wow, just amazing

 

[f@luS]

Euro : USD is usually converted 1:1, so expect this to cost $5.99 in the USA.

on PSN (ps3) not true

often 10$ is 8€ here, 15 becoming 12.... etc...

but i think for vita we will have 1:1

 

[LordPhoque]

Not hyped by the micromachine orientation. I wish this was a classic Motorstorm game with tracks and inspirations from all the motorstorm games.

 

[Ninja Moomin]

So this basically confirms the pan is effectively separate between the vita and ps3 ?

 

[Violater]

For that price will buy.
I see some drunk 4 player split screen in the future.

 

[Slaylock]

I worry a bit about the controls since the fixed perspective will require steering opposite if your vehicle is heading toward the screen. I've heard they have a demo though, so I'll certainly give it a go.

 

[Dibbz]

Amazing price. If Vita keeps this up man I'm gonna have to buy one soon. Just put on Journey and I'd get one right now.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Wow. 2 Platinums?

 

[NHale]

I really hope this game is a huge success because it would lead other publishers to try the same "Buy 1 Get 2 versions" concept for their games.

We need more of this than games like Uncharted: GA at $50/€50...

 

[boingball]

Seems like they identified a new target market: Trophy Whores.

Yep. This will be fun in split screen.

 

[Joni]

If you got the preorder pack, you essentially get this for free (£5 voucher for psn).

This game isn't included. It is Little Deviants, Escape Plan, Super Stardust Delta or Hustle Kings for which you can get a voucher.

 

[Atolm]

Native 1080p? Niiiiice.

 

[Kafel]

Plays like shit from what I've read, no online head-to-head, not very nice looking ...

but since I can get it for cheap I'll see.

 

[test_account]

Wow! That is a great price indeed! Day one for sure. I would have bought it at day one even it cost 3 times as much though

 

[Americanmushroom]

5.99 ... ???

Bought

 

[LamerDeluxe]

I tried it and thought it was horrible. Trackside cam makes controlling the car really hard, the car looks tiny and bland and the whole game doesn't feel anywhere close to MotorStorm.

The game does support d-pad support, which i'm really glad for. Did you try playing with d-pad?

And you're racing RC cars, so the cars should look tiny. It is also suppose to be a quite different game than the traditional Motorstorm games as well. The only resemblance to Motorstorm is the name and some track locations. It might as well be called a spin off.

No shit? It's a micro machines RC game.

 

[alr1ght]

They need to put Re-Volt on PSN.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Seems like they identified a new target market: Trophy Whores.

Yes? Why, hello there.

 

[lowrider007]

This looks awesome, it looks like a modern day skidmarks (Amiga title), day one for me.

 

[kinoki]

There are only two series I've bought every entry of this gen: Mass Effect and MotorStorm. Will keep on buying. This is up there. Don't have a Vita yet and I don't see myself getting one this at the moment but eventually.

The game is also for PS3

 

[xptoxyz]

Which is a bit stupid in my opinion. If it's the same game, has the same trophies and you even unlock them in both games with the same save... why have two trophy lists ?
In theory I can finish the game on the Vita or PS3, copy my save, and bam, a second platinum trophy without having to play for a second.

While it is not impossible it is unlikely, trophies usually are gained in a "triggered"-like action. And wouldn't happen retroactively unless it checks some saved data every time or something I'd say.

edit: good example would be games that had trophies patched in.

Great price, my bet on American money would be 7.99 or 8.99.
