    NEW FORGOTTEN GAME VIDEO: th-cam.com/video/ulIM56YYy5c/w-d-xo.html
    Thanks to the 50k people that tuned into my passion project! New similar stuff coming soon, though perhaps not on a full franchise. And for my 500 subs, stay tuned! If RPCS3 ever gets multiplayer working, I'll make a video and we can organise a full lobby.
    Around 9:14 I mention Apocalypse was revealed at E3 2005. This is wrong, it was 2009. Yes, I am a fool.
    UPDATE: Pacific Rift Multiplayer is being worked on! See www.reddit.com/r/motorstorm/comments/wem026/pacific_rift_servers_important_notice/ for more info!
    Edit: Asking me to cover Motorstorm RC is like asking me to review Angry Birds Star Wars in a review of the Star Wars movies. Its not bad, but it's Motorstorm in name only.

    I don’t care what anyone says, Sony will never be the same without Evolution Studios, not only did I play the hell out of every single motorstorm games as a kid (even the boring RC spinoff) but I also got introduced into sim racing by their last and criminally underrated title DriveClub. It’s too unfortunate the studio doesn’t exist anymore so any future releases of either MS or DC would be very unlikely to happen, I can still say however that I’m very glad to have had these games in my childhood and that I still own a PS3 to be able to play them all again one day when I want to take a nostalgic trip, it’s a shame that some of the unlockables require online play though… either way this series will always be remembered as the best imo despite shifting my interest into more realistic sim racing.

      They got bought by CM who kept them as their own separate team in the same studio, gave them some amount of free rein and they made Onrush which nobody bought. Then I think they made Dirt 5, which was also a disappointment. But then CM got bought out by EA and since then they've done EA WRC and maybe an F1 game. Doubt EA will let them do anything else.

I loved this video so much that I could watch it again and again. The Motorstorm games were my favourite games on the ps3 and I am really sad to see the games slowly dying off but this video has taught people and even me about the greatness of the games, this video even taught me about things that I had no idea about.

    I played mostly the first on PS3. for some reason this game was unusually gripping for a "generic" racing game. It was the combination of the over-the-top environments, the varied but well-balanced set of vehicles to choose from and the incredibly strong soundtrack. Also there's something about the presentation of the menu's that made you feel like you were "there" at a huge scale illegal racing festival.

    Ah, this was a wonderfully fun series. When I got a PS3, for three years the only games I had were Pacific Rift and the first two Resistance games. I played the everloving hell out of all three, but PR was the one on which I wasted a majority of my youth. It really shaped what I considered to be a good racing game; I find things like Forza incredibly dull by comparison. It was always skin-of-your-teeth, adapt-on-the-fly, adrenaline-inducing madness and I loved every second of it. The variety of tracks, sheer colour and effusive energy ensured I was playing it right up until my PS3 eventually got the yellow light of death. I did also have Apocalypse, but I picked it up pretty late; 'twas already dead by that time. Still great fun though. A criminally underserved and forgotten series.
    Side note: The same is true of Resistance, another franchise left buried in the ashes of the empire it once held. Fall of Man might as well be my favourite console shooter ever made. And local split-screen! Christ, do you remember when games had that? Those were good times... If you were to make a similar video on Resistance, I for one would appreciate it. I caught a glimpse of it there in your emulator list, and I long for the old days. The game box still gathers dust on my shelf, and it makes me sad.

    I can remember when my parents bought a PS3 and a big flat screen (we had a tube tv before) and Motorstorm Pacific rift was the first game i've ever played on PS3. Such an amazing time. And I loved this idea of a punk-rock racing festival.

    I always felt like the Motorstorm series was a spiritual successor of some sort to Sony’s Jet Moto franchise in PS1 but Apocalypse had some real Aftershock vibes to it. Every time I see it I think of that track from Jet Moto 2.

      @@kevincollins8620 Apocalypse was the weakest of the PS3 Motorstorm trilogy. The graphics, physics and difficulty were below that of Motorstorm and Motorstorm Pacific Rift. It doesn’t even feel like it was made by the same developer really.
      I think they had a rushed job and a smaller budget than they had with the first two games.

    I’ve heard of this game but never knew what it was until watching this. Looks great and if y’all like this u will prolly love Fuel too. I think Fuel is better than Motorstorm from what I see and it’s open world. It’s a massive map and apparently one of the biggest in all of gaming. Takes 2.5 hours to get from one corner of the map to the other. The exploration is amazing and the gameplay is better. Also it’s incredibly challenging. Nobody knows what this game is and that sucks. Everyone should experience the masterpiece that is Fuel. Also the game is like $4 on Evay

(Perhaps it was imported prior idk). Bought it on a whim but it sits humbly on the shelf next to the o.g. underated rare gem imo and its a hella good time split screen with the bois

    I've looked for 3d games to play when I got my own used PS3 and a 3D TV and stumbled across Apocalypse (as well as the obvious GT5 but that's not relevant).
    I really loved it from the beginning and played a lot of it, despite being used to playing mainly on PC.
    Would love for such a game to be created again, just pure arcade fun, simple but with some depth (and not a kart-racer as well)

About to order Apocalypse looks good too

    Why was story so important to these reviewers? It’s a racing game. Get in your car a go. You don’t need some cheesy soap opera going on in the background. And then they did add a story in Apocalypse and it reviewed worse than the other 3 games! What did these people want?

      You people are so simple minded 🤦 it had nothing to do with the story, it was the content after you beat the story, the game was pointless and useless after you beat apocalypse and was pretty boring compared to the other games that had plenty of content and the secret unlockables to unlock even after you beat the game.... That was the problem not enough to do in the game and the story was very short

Its good to hear that its not died on the fan side and really good to hear that theres a Motorstorm fan game coming out too. Great Video. Makes me now want to get the others now.
