March brings some muddy racing mayhem to the PS3 with MotorStorm. Paul Rustchynsky (Game Designer), Nigel Kershaw (Senior Designer), Simon Benson (Producer) and John McLaughlin (Associate Producer) from Evolution Studios, developers of MotorStorm, answered questions during a live chat on the US Playstation Forums.
The session lasted about 45 minutes and revealed a few bits of info on the upcoming release (besides the often asked "will there be downloadable content?" - yes, yes, yes!).
- MotorStorm is exclusive to the PS3 When asked how much space the game takes up on a Blu-Ray Disc, the developer replied: "We use most of it, about 18GB if I remember correctly (and everything on the disk is actualy compressed at a 2:1 ratio too as the CELL is so powerful, that it can decompress the data faster than it can read it." The team also reiterated how working on the PS2's World Rally Championship gave the team the "pedigree in racing games" and noted that with each release, the graphics and gameplay bumped up another level. We can expect the same with future games from Evolution Studios on the PS3. Check out more screens and information at the official site on www.motorstorm-thegame.com.
Fact Sheet on MotorStorm from Sony: FACT SHEET
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. OVERVIEW Developed by Evolution Studios, MotorStorm™ is a brutal, no-holds-barred offroad racing game created exclusively for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Set in the fictitious desert environment of Monument Valley, MotorStorm takes full advantage of the processing power of the PLAYSTATION 3 to deliver an extreme racing event where the goal is to not only win, but to survive. In the game, players will descend upon the MotorStorm Festival, a celebration of the alternative and extreme offroad racing culture. Throwing caution to the wind, players will take on a variety of racing fanatics and battle through chaotic, action-packed tracks to try and become the Festival champ. Capitalizing on its pedigree in offroad racing, Evolution Studios has created a true next-generation gameplay experience that features smarter artificial intelligence (AI), real-time track deformation, fully destructible vehicles and environments, and stunningly detailed scenery. Tapping into the power of the PlayStation 3, MotorStorm will showcase cinematic effects such as motion blur, depth-of-field, and Hollywood-style “crash cams” that replay spectacular crash sequences during a race. KEY FEATURES Attacking and Offensive Driving – Players must not only try to win the race but survive against the other racers. Combat-like racing takes center stage as the vehicles are the weapons. Stunning Environments – MotorStorm features amazing scenic environments that capture some of America’s most recognizable desert landmarks with wide-open plains, harrowing cliff edges, and tight canyon sections. Cutting-Edge Artificial Intelligence – The A.I. will be able to analyze the race and surroundings and react in the most realistic manner possible. Not only will the competition try to win the race at all costs, but the A.I. will react to situations realistically, such as locating the best routes and changing the level of driving aggression based on player actions. Real-time Track Deformation – Players will never experience the same track twice as each vehicle will carve up the track in varying depths, making navigation of each lap different than the last. Real-time Audio Manipulation – An entirely new in-game music experience where echo and reverb are filtered in, delivering a unique “live” music experience during each race. PLAYSTATION®3 – Greater processing power on PlayStation 3 and Blu-ray technology enables more immersive visuals and sound effects in MotorStorm, heightening the chaos within each brutal race environment.
