SnowRanger13 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Has anyone else played the Motostorm Demo for PS3? It's like 500MB I downloaded it while watching a show on TV. I heard it looked good graphically and I've seen screen shots but playing the demo was much better then the screen shots I saw. I was pretty impressed, I was debating in my head about getting it or not until I paused to go to the bathroom and saw the option to use motion censors. SO much fun, I was having a blast playing now this demo. Anyone else download it? If you haven't you should it really impressed me more then I expected.

Huleboeren Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I tried it at an expo - definitely on of the games im getting.. Didnt get to try motion sensing tho, everyone only got to try it 10minutes :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhav Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 They showed an amazing trailer at E3 2005. Then they disappointed around E3 2006 when sites like IGN found that the game wasn't anywhere near the standard they had shown the year before. But now, they have actually reached the incredible visuals they showed off the first time round. Definitely one of the 'killer' apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Are there any pictures of it in its current "Killer app" state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnast Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 It's a very nice looking game with pretty cool physics. At first I thought the sense of speed was way too slow (from looking at videos), but it's not that bad when you get your hands on it. My only real problem with the game is how hard it is to stay on the track sometimes. It can get annoying hitting a bump in the middle of a turn and flying 100 ft. towards the edge of the cliff with too much momentum to avoid going over the edge.

Ironman273 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I played the demo and thought it was fun but the failed expectations still annoy me. http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-ga...play-comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats strange because from what ive read and heard its mediocre, the sixaxis controls get boring quickly and everyone resorts back to analogue controls.

It's closer to Excite Truck than what they showed... http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/02/e3s-ps3-...ion-vs-reality/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently got PGR3 for the 360 (Platinum hit for $20 :D ) and when I played it realized it looked similarly nice but in a city instead of a desert.

But it looks like any number of first-gen racing games on the 360. That's not a bad thing, because they all look good. But it's not what Sony promised. MS never showed renders of PGR3 or any other games before launch and certainly never claimed CG was actual gameplay - a practice that has become a staple of Sony's competitive strategy.

Fair enough, but Sony's not the only one to do this... Red Steel anyone?

But whatever, Motorstorm looks pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo11883 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'm sure the visuals in target renders are possible with today's PCs, the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but the frame rate would be so bad that they would have to sacrifice the visuals in order to get a smooth playing game. We just need faster hardware to get there. I bet one of them new GeForce's can get pretty close on Vista with DirectX 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the hypocrisy after just posting a thread about how insane it's getting on Neowin. Its a shame you edited that post, I didn't see anything wrong with it. With regards to what you said about Heavenly Sword, Its true that Ninja theory have made a leap between E3's. I can't wait to see what the final game is like...apparently it should be finished around March time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 seems like march is a decent time for PS3, suppose to be lots of units then and a few pretty sweet games are coming out then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Personally I thought it looked like ass. I played the kiosk version at my local EB Games and wasn't impressed. It doesn't look THAT much better than PS2 games such as GoW and FF12, at least not $700 better. It looks like they tried to compensate for the poor AA by making it blurry. The HD lighting looks great, but that's about all. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty fun game though. Doesn't look on par with a lot of 360 games.

MadFerIt Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I thought I'd make another statement on this game.. For one, the Kiosk demo is much older then the demo that PS3 owners are downloading from the Playstation Store. While it has the same levels, the huge framerate issues with the Kiosk demo have been improved considerably. I think the game is beautiful to be honest, is it something only the PS3 can do? No, but that doesn't change how impressive it is. The only downside to the visuals is the texture quality, which is definitely not the best.. However, in a racing game it doesn't matter as much since you'll be moving at fast speeds. I do need to say something though. Along with Motorstorm I also tried out NBA 07 (the sony game, not EA's which was cancelled) on the kiosk and I was very impressed. The visuals, framerate, were all very good. I do wish they had a demo of Resistance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 in nba 07, i really did like how the player's skin were sweating right at the beginning of the game xD also, I knew I wouldn't be buying a ps3 when during the game, it froze on me :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X360 freezes aswell (Mine does, and its pretty new) Dunno about the Wii tho - maybe you should buy one of those.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine never froze a single time until it actually started to die. As long as you have a room temperature around 20-35C and a reasonable amount of room between the back of the 360 and any objects, then it should never freeze (unless a bug or something causes a crash, which is something entirely different).

I dunno - it just froze twice in Rainbow Six Vegas. Everything seemed to be running but nothing happened when i pressed the guide button :s Bug or The IceMan?
