Wow it looks even better now. This game already looked awesome in motion over 6 months ago...

Wahahaha.

Anyways, this looks like a Quake 1 based game with extensive motion blur.

Please get a decent renderer before gold.

Preview over at Gamespot:

TGS 06: MotorStorm Hands-On
In the middle of the much sought out PlayStation 3 stand, a demo of Sony's forthcoming dirt racer, MotorStorm, was on show. We played through a couple of races to see how it handled.

TOKYO--Right from the start the game is easy to get into. The controls are simple--right trigger is the gas, left trigger the brake, and X gives you a nitro boost. The rest is just an adrenaline rush of dust, jumps, and wildly bouncing suspension, with the action seen from behind and slightly above the vehicle you're racing.

The level we played was situated atop a rocky outcrop, and although the track was pretty wide, with plenty of scope to choose your own favourite racing line, if you ran out of road you'd fall a long way. There were actually several ways to wipe out and falling off the side was just one. Flipping your vehicle is another, and that can be pretty easy as the terrain gets fairly wild, but also your opponents get pretty aggressive too. It's also possible to overheat your engine, and explode that way. Each time you use some boost, your temperature gauge rises. Leave the nitro alone for a while and it'll decrease, but the longer you hold it down, the more effective it is. Let the gauge go all the way to the top though and you're in trouble.

Thankfully, if you do wipe out it's not too bad, as you're set back on the track fairly quickly, and while you will lose time to your rivals, you should be able to make that up again within a lap or so. If you crash more than once or twice though, you'll definitely struggle to win, so it's a race of attrition as much as pure speed.

There are three types of vehicle to choose from, and there were twelve racers involved in the demo level. You can drive dune buggies. four-by-fours, or ride dirt bikes. Each type of vehicle has its own handling characteristics, and these can be both good and bad. For example, the dune buggies are low to the ground, can corner fairly nicely, but don't seem to take the bumps as well as a four-by-four. Bikes are generally quicker, but lighter so they jump higher and tend to slide further, which can be pretty dangerous at times. The four-by-fours on the other hand take the terrain well and are harder to flip, but don't seem as fast over the ground. The overall effect is that no vehicle type seems to have a big advantage, and you can choose the style that you most enjoy.

Certainly for the four-wheeled vehicles, suspension plays a big part, and you'll find that the direction you take a jump at can have serious repercussions for the next corner. In a way, the racing line becomes three dimensional, and the bouncing around you'll do as you hit bumps is pretty realistic. It feels like some hard work has gone into the physics engine for this game, and the result is a lot of fun.

As well as having destructible vehicles, some of the scenery can also be taken out. At one point we managed to drive a bike pretty hard into a fence, and of course wiped out. But the wooden panel also slowly collapsed after the impact, making it possible from then on to take a slightly different line into the corner. This opens up the potential for smashing your opponents into sections of scenery, and then reaping the subsequent benefits, but how far that goes it wasn't possible to test.

At one point in the lap there was a choice of routes, and while they didn't diverge massively, the variety was interesting. On the one hand you could take the high road, which demanded a tighter angle but looked safer, while the normal route meant jumping across a chasm. Most of the time it wasn't a problem, but lose momentum or get blocked at the crucial time and you're in some trouble.

Visually the game is fairly impressive, as you'd expect from a next-generation title. It doesn't have the clean lines of Project Gotham Racing 3, but the motion blurring, dustiness and shaky camera effects certainly give the game a good sensation of speed, especially when you hit the boost button. The screen always seems pretty busy, and the scenery is fairly detailed, but the frame rate was consistently high with no discernable slowdown.

Because of the noisy conditions of the show it wasn't really possible to hear if there was any music in the game, and while we could hear some of the louder sound effects, that was only for crashes and explosions. We'll fill in more details on Motorstorm nearer it's release date, in the meantime check out our previous coverage on the game.

I take all the graphics bashing I've thrown at this game back. The shots really don't do it justice. In motion it looks damned pretty. Some great vistas when the vehicles are high up. All round good stuff.

The screens really, really don't do this game justice. I was all for hating the graphics, but having seen the in game videos, it's actually bloody stunning. Sharp all round.

 

[CM Punk]

WHF really drove the point home

 

[Avalanche]

Oh, but he said that before he saw the gameplay videos. The screens look crap. In motion, the game doesn't.

I was actually just refering to him saying it 1000 times
