"Sony has revealed the full track list for MotorStorm Pacific Rift. The 16 levels are split between four zones, each based on an element. In the Air Zone you'll find lots of jumps, cliffs and downhill sections while the Earth Zone is a little more down to earth (get it?), with plenty of plants and undergrowth which can get in your way, hide obstacles and, apparently, fight back. In the Fire Zone you'll be faced with lava pits, volcanoes and rocky wastelands and, finally, in the Water Zone you'..."

"So a quick catch up. We finished MotorStorm, we thought it was pretty damn good, we knew we needed to make another one, but feeling a bit knackered, we decided that a bit of a vacation was in order. Skip forward a month or so to us sunning ourselves in Hawaii, beautiful place, lovely ladies, and most importantly for this yarn, lovely scenery. Dense jungle, lava tubes, mountains, swamps, volcanoes the works…. Lo, a MotorStorm epiphany ☺"

Haven't had a chance to play the MotorStorm: Pacific Rift demo because you're not a Qore subscriber? Maybe Sony didn't send it to you? Well, you now have your chance! If you pre-order the game over at a GameStop, you will be rewarded with a demo.

The Motorstorm Pacific Rift demo was released a few days past to Qore subscribers and a select few others. Just by glancing at Neoseeker forums it can be seen that not all are satisfied by the game. However there is still hope for the final product. As this member of NeoGAF shows the demo is extremely out of date, several months old and likely very different to what the title is like now. The pictures on the left are from a recent build previewed by IGN and the right is the demo build.

"Speaking to VideoGamer.com this morning a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson has confirmed that the listing is a mistake and that it will be removed shortly. So there you go. Maybe the fan excitement over the listing will give Sony a reason to consider bringing the MotorStorm series to PSP in the future, but it's not happening just yet."

"This time around, the MotorStorm races will take place on a tropical island set amongst the lush jungle, emerald lagoons and towering peaks in the Pacific Ocean. Why is this important? The original MotorStorm introduced us to some fantastic racing through the desert landscape of Monument Valley. Although we delivered some wild tracks and terrain, the desert is the desert. With the topical island setting, players will be able to experience a much broader range of environments and terrain.

"You might check your email today and find out that you've been chosen as one of the lucky gamers to download the Motorstorm 2 demo. That'll make you happy. If not, you're probably not so pleased.

Sony has chosen to distribute the Motorstorm 2 single -player demo today to an unspecified number of randomly-selected PSN users. Why? We're not sure, but we can only guess it's to stop US users (who have to buy Qore to get the demo) from logging into the UK PS Store and snagging it for free."

"And thus, the latest rumor: according to Dutch gaming site PS3Life.nl, UK retailer GAME suddenly has a PSP listing for "MotorStorm" in their database. We keep hearing from Sony that we can expect several large surprises for the PSP next year, so perhaps this is one of them."

"A short clip of what looks like Dante riding a motorbike occurs at 1 minute 5 seconds into the latest trailer and we’ve pulled a screen which you can see below. Is it really him? Looks like it.

We’re digging into the latest build of Pacific Rift as we speak, so look out for some hands on impressions and possibly a few more gameplay videos soon.

MotorStorm Pacific Rift is due for release next month exclusively on PlayStation 3. Pre-order it from Play.com and you’ll even get a free t-shir..."

"Sony has announced they will be releasing a Motorstorm: Pacific Rift demo as part of QORE, their subscription-based interactive online magazine for the PlayStation Network. Those who download the upcoming episode - QORE: Episode 4 - will get access to the demo, and get to play it “a month before anyone else.”

After this month long wait the demo will then go live on PSN as a free download, and be available for all to grab about a week before the games retail release on October 7th

Two new Motorstorm 2 Pacific Rift gameplay videos have surfaced on French gaming site Jeux-France. The videos give a really good view of the vehicles and some of the levels we'll be racing on as well as showing spiltscreen mood and a glimpse of the menu's. See them at the source

"Evolution Studios’ Paul Hollywood revels in the job title of Creative Lead. A shaven-headed extrovert, he could, frankly, talk for England, so it’s always a pleasure to interview him. We managed to grab him at the recent PlayStation Day, and here are the insights into the forthcoming MotorStorm: Pacific Rift that he delivered.


Q: What’s new in MotorStorm: Pacific Rift?

PH: Well, we’ve kept all the fun bits, and added to it. We didn’t want to break the core and, obviously, with MotorSt..."

"Though Phil "Game 3.0" Harrison may have moved onto green ... err, different pastures, his flock of PlayStation 3 developers haven't forgotten his lessons. After taking a handful of upcoming PlayStation games out for a spin last Friday during Sony's Pre-E3 Judge's Event in LA, I noticed a recurring phrase in my notebook: community website. Think Halo 3 and Bungie.net; a game-specific site chocked full of additional ways to engage the title. It's like ... Web 2.0 plus ... Game 1.0 – wait, we f..."

"There's a bigger, badder and more badass sequel coming out this year. You guessed it: MotorStorm Pacific Rift. There's more to be excited about in the sequel other than interactive vegetation. If you didn't hear, Pacific Rift is going to have twice the tracks of the original, and four-player split-screen racing (something sorely missing from the original).

Pacific Rift is also going to add a number of commonly requested features, such as a Photo Mode, which allows you to take screenshots f..."

"Speaking to VideoGamer.com at Sony's recent PlayStation Day Nigel Kershaw, MotorStorm Pacific Rift's game director, has revealed what it's like to develop for the PlayStation 3.

When asked if MotorStorm Pacific Rift is pushing the PS3 Kershaw said: "The first game pushed the PS3, this is pushing the PS3, our next game is going to push the PS3. It's not so much about pushing the hardware, it's about learning how to use the hardware in the best possible fashion."

He added: "We've realised..."

Here are some brand new screenshots of Motorstorm Pacific Rift. The game is taking a different route then the first game with the environment. It won't be in Monument Valley but on a jungle and desert island. The new game will have 16 tracks and 4 player split screen. Also monster trucks will be playable in this game.

"MotorStorm may have been a brand-new franchise for Sony's PlayStation 3, but developer Evolution managed to make a flat-out success of its simple formula for destruction. In another bold move, the developer has decided to ditch the dusty environment that made the first game so iconic, in favour of a brand-new tropical island setting. This time, Evolution has taken inspiration from the islands of Hawaii, where volcanoes, waterfalls, and crumbling cliffs will act as all-new hazards for the vehi..."
