You may have wondered what that counter was ticking down to on top of Threespeech, or read bits of information on sites like on Eurogamer, or recently dropped by IGN for the video reveal – but here’s the news in its entirety: MotorStorm 2 is coming this fall.
The MotorStorm style of anything-goes racing is moving from the mountainous desert to a lush Pacific island, replete with thick swamps, dense jungle, towering peaks and steaming volcanoes. You’ll be rampaging through thick mud, tangled undergrowth, swift flowing rivers, and searing lava pools of this new location with all of the vehicles familiar to players of the first MotorStorm: ATVs, rally cars, buggies, motorbikes, race trucks, mudpluggers and Big Rigs. Joining the cast is the new monster truck class, likely to become a fan favorite (check out the video below).
It’s still a bit early, but here’s what we can confirm as far as features are concerned: 16 new multi-route tracks, 16 players can race head-to-head online, and a hugely requested feature hits MotorStorm: 4-player split-screen mode.
We’ll have more updates as MotorStorm 2 nears release, but in the meantime, take a look at the new environments and new monster truck in this just-released trailer.
A bit underwhelming, some in-game screens would be nice :)
Well, it’s CG, but so was the 1st trailer for the 1st title, and it was VERY close. This looks like it’s gonna be a blast to play. I just hope that it’s more of everythign that’s in the 1st game, which is still one of my PS3 favorites.
Looks good, we need to see some in game footage next :)
The teaser was great. I wonder who’s gonna have better foliage Uncharted or MotorStorm 2 :D.
Also custom soundtracks in the final game please.
Hmm. Interesting. This could be good.
That was awesome! I can’t wait for some in game footage of it. I love the jungle look to the island. I know it’s way out of the area, but you know what’d be cool? A course where your on the Bering Straight and water is coming in from both sides as you race from Russia to Alaska. Four player split screen is what I’ve been dying for in a good PS3 racer. Thanks you Evolution!!!! Please use custom soundtracks!
16 tracks?!?
At least 40 tracks or don’t even bother releasing this game (well I won’t buy it at least).
Where is this BluRay you speak of?
Oh or are you planning to money-wh*re from the game like you did with MotorStorm1.
Take your dirty tactics to Microsoft- I can’t trust a company who rips me off.
And I didn’t buy MotorStorm1 for the exact same reason- I just play it at a friend’s house now and then.
Good news on the split-screen thought but that will mean NOTHING if we only have 16 tracks to mess around in.
This game is all about the tracks!
SPLIT SCREEN!!!
awesome, totally fracking awesome.
Thank god for the split screen addition and up to 4 players too, awsome…… now can it be split screen online and on top of that, I would advise at least 20 tracks but hey Im sure the downloadable content will cover that right? By the way Sony.. you need to really keep pace with the downloadable content, talk to your publishers it’s been approximately 7 months since Warhawk got an update and thats an online only game, don’t get me wrong I love it to death, but seriously start pushing out this stuff especially after the psn is revised next month as promised……..you better hold your word on that one. And by the way I need to know if the colorize.net/home website is right, is home really coming out that soon… people have been waiting forever and are getting really frustrated and with the 360s price cut coming about out….. push it out already!!!
greats new i have part one and it the only racing game i owned on the current gen systems
Love it guys. Motorstorm 1 had a LOT of really great things going for it – it sounds like you guys listened and are implementing what the fans want (split-screen multiplayer, more players online, tracks, etc.)
Looking forward to some more media when it becomes available.
Jeff,
Is there any way to make it so that people who participate on SONY’s Playstation site have to use a PSN to speak on the forums or even? Some sort of “certified PSN user” Tag?
If you haven’t noticed, the FORUMS are getting completely swamped with SPAM, from users who claim that their PS3’s are exploding/scratching discs/killing babies etc…
It would be a nice addition to our community if it was some how filter out the people who are here just to spam the site.
I\’m not in charge of the forums (yet, hahaha – no seriously). But the idea of a unified login – PSN, Blog, etc is a dream of mine. Still likely a ways off though, I\’ll update when we know more.
