      During my college years, me and my best friend used to play Pacific Rift splitscreen for hours, often up to 12 maps at a time as a sort of a championship. We would add up our finishing positions as points and the loser would have to go to 24/7 grocery store down the street to get the midnight snacks & drinks...good times...

      (READ AT DISCRETION... I basically wrote an essay...)
      In the first Motorstorm most of the vehicles in the base game were in a pristine condition overall (appearance wise) and only really modified for whatever vehicle class (the Patriot Surger being a muscle car customized in ways similar to the interceptor from mad max 2 with the cut front bumper,spare tires as well as the custom fuel tank and then the Patriot Renegade being a stock car modified with rally suspension, off-road tires,spare tires and a bump bar the other base game rally cars are purpose built rally cars in comparison to these 2) they're a part but otherwise they were pretty clean looking while later on dlc vehicles would get reinforced parts or rougher appearances (the Patriot 85 has a wire mesh across the front windshield in addition to sheet metal plates while the Castro capitao got a full external cage and the Diablo... Well the name says enough...) and with Pacific Rift they took that even further where yeah you'd have vehicles from the previous game meshing with new ones that hailed from various backgrounds and uses from street vehicles modified to handle off-roading to vehicles with racing pedigrees to their name purpose built for gettin down and dirty in the first place... And the monster trucks... But then with Arctic Edge (PS2 and PSP) and Apocalypse we lost the roster but gained customization options to really personalize the vehicles we drove it wasn't as good as the others but it also had the most staked against it and I'm glad I got to play for a short while before they shutdown the servers on Apocalypse (if it wasn't for a certain event the year of release Apocalypse would have done better in sales as the game is still technically missing tracks and vehicles hell it's the likely the franchise would still be prevalent if not for nature being an asshole... Also Motorstorm RC exists... It's mid...)

    One good thing about not having the game patched is that you could tap the boost button to continuously boost without having to worry about overheating otherwise, the game DLC alongside other game DLC like Killzone 2, or some of the Resistance DLC have been delisted for a long time prior to the server shutdown, so even if you had the game patched you wouldn't be able to download it, I think there's a Japanese copy of Motorstorm that comes complete with the DLC, otherwise emulation is an awesome option, it's cool seeing these games again running at a smoother/higher resolution.

      There’s a guide for it. They’re called PSONE servers (PlayStation Online Emulation servers). As the name suggests, these guys are emulating PlayStation’s servers so you can play Motorstorm and a few other games online again. If you follow the guide, you’ll be on their servers and can download the update that allows you to play the DLC as well as play the game online again.
      I read somewhere that the DLC for the game was delisted, but I still see it’s up on the PS3 store. Maybe they meant inaccessible, not delisted. Anyway, hope this helps you and anybody who reads this and have fun playing your favorite game again!

    One thing I remembered about the boosting system is that when you explode, it propels your car forward at tremendous speed before you are reset. This could be used to steal first place at the last second before the finish line, so in that situation it could actually be beneficial to intentionally overboost. It was a pretty cool idea.
    The rubberbanding was really bad on this game though, and it got worse the further you got into the events. Because of this, I remember the best strategy for winning was to simply keep up with the pack for the first 2 1/2 laps, and then only try to take the lead in the final 1/2 lap. The racing was still fun enough for me to finish the game completely, but this rubberbanding means that 75-85% of every race doesn't matter much insofar as determining the outcome.

The second game improves on all of this game's shortcomings and dials it up to 11, I think you'll enjoy it. Really hope to see a remaster of this someday, still tied for my favourite racing game with NFSU2 and I remember it looking *incredible* back in the day.

    I do hope they release the 4 games for the new generation console, together with VR support. This in VR, would be great!

  • @paranoyd70

    I really liked this game & series, but I do agree with your assessment. Game is fun as heck but the tracks do get repetitive. Motorstorm 2 & 3 (Pacific Apocalypse) do attempt to remedy this first game's problems, but then creates new problems. For example, Motorstorm 3 (Apocalypse) offers numerous tracks that change during a race, assuring that even the laps change as you race in them...however they mostly take place in city landscapes & not the country, which loses its original appeal. Still, I recommend trying them all, as they all offer different & unique alterations. And I was a bit sad when Sony cut ties with the studio and it was forced to shut down. This series showed great promise that will never been known.
    Also, Motorstorm 3 (Apocalypse)) came out at the time Sony was pushing their 3D tv's and so it offered 3D. I've played the game with Sony's "Active Shutter" 3D tv's and I thought it was pretty dope. Though I acknowledge that not everyone likes that form of 3D. I personally loved it.
    Other games that offered it was Resistance 3 (also very nice) and Uncharted 3 (which I could never get to work properly).
    Sony would eventually abandon 3D and move towards VR.

      I agree, the city landscapes just aren't as fun, But they do change with each lap, as earthquakes create new paths while closing off others and weather can wreak havoc to your car's mobility, which I can see how this would turn off players. Plus, driving around the city in a dune-buggy or dirt bike just feels so off.
