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.
so wait, would the ps2 emulator work for toca 3? if so then i may be able to play the greatest racing sim with my wheel, then once im done fuming about bad lap times i can play the greatest arcade racing games out there....then fume about bad lap times even more, SWEET!!
Motorstorm Pacific Rift was the game that made me get a PS3. I had tremendous fun and absolutely loved the music. The series was definitely under rated.
Arctic Edge avalanches are in no way "useless", even bots can make a great use of them. Aside, you are playing PS2 version in 16:9 without widescreen enabled.
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.
Also on Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Apocalypse, you can even select any soundtrack you want to listen while racing as long as there is saved songs on PS3 hardware.
I played the demo in a Sams Club while my family spent HOURS shopping. I had a couch or a camping chair setup in front on the massive TV and not one interruption for hours. It was phenomenal
This was my favorite series of games on the ps3, and it really sucks there's no remaster or revamp of the series for ps5 in the works. I can get the discs for my ps3 and have a blast but I'd really love to see them at 4k 60 someday, without sobering like 3k on hardware
These games were my childhood and a way for my dad, brothe rand I to bond over videogames of a topic we love IRL.. motorstorm will always be cherished in my heart
I always loved the first, I remember trying it for the first time and finding it nearly impossible to control, worked my way up to "god" rank online and held that title for soooo long, won so many races from memorizing every bit of every track in the best vehicles to win, was a wild time.
Remember playing Artic Edge when i was a little kid, i didn't knew how to progress in the game (as a Brazilian kid it was very hard to learn back then, not as common as nowadays) but it was guaranteed fun for me, because of this game, i started to like hard rock and racing. Awesome video lad, Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
I miss motorstorm so badly, I've yet to find another game series that scratches that itch of racing without any self preservation, going crazy. It's so fun, and I hope their project pulls through.
It’s a series that deserves better and gave me a great love and appreciation for presentation. Playing the first two at my uncles place who had a big tv and sound system really made the game feel huge.
Hey amAzing video! I'm so very glAd that someone made a video about this secret "only a few people know this about" game, it's surely a unique and special game because it's not like just any other racing games like just fancy cringey cars but rusted powerful ones that are easily undersitimAted, I'm happy that maybe in the futre more people are gonna play this game becauss of this video
The elimination event on Paradise Beach that's ATV's only actually made me rage for the first time while playing a Motorstorm game. It took a few tries and I finally won when figured out a specific route to go the whole time, to be careful on turns, and concentrate as much as possible.
Dude you made an amazing video, it's a total tragedy what happend to this saga it had a lot of potential and it totally deserves to be with the recent generation also i didn't knew about the fan project i'm gonna be following it
Great video ! Motorstorm was one of my favourite games early on the PS3 and Pacific Rift was a great follow up. Apocalypse was cool but not my favourite of the series. I wish they were playable on the PS5 !
The first Motorstorm was all about the online mode. There was nothing else at the time where you could race a buggy, a bike, and a truck at the same time with friends. It was revolutionary
Thank you so much for putting effort into making this video. You gave me so much nostalgia and you brought back so many memories! There was such a small amount of videos about motorstorm that I was even thinking of making one myself but I would never do any better then you. 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. Basically I loved this video because now I know someone out there other then me really enjoyed Motorstorm. Keep Motorstorm alive!
But tonight, on this small planet We're going to rock civilization DADADAA DADADAA DADADAAAA Damn I get goosebumbs every time I think about playing the OG Motorstorm on christmas eve on the brand new PS3 that my parents bought me. Or playing Pacific Rift with my dad after we were done working in the forest. Those were better times man..
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 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.
@@Underthegun897 they had a smaller budget, but the game changed the art direction to a more grounded racing style, that, in my opinion, makes it unique rather than inferior, hard to compare.
I played Motorstorm ONCE and spent YEARS trying to remember the name! Then I saw this video!!!!! I really wish Wreckfest and Motor Storm would make a mashup game.
Thank you for bringing the spotlight to these amazing racing games. The motorstorm series really needs a remaster, it’s such a fantastic game that no other can replicate it’s ambience. I love apocalypse the most (probably because i also really like street racing) and the setting is just phenomenal. I wish Sony remasters, at least, Monument Valley, Pacific Rift and Apocalypse.
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.
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
huggggeee props to you for making this video. i myself have played all the motor storms except arctic edge. the best memories came from pacific rift. good to see small content creators making videos on racing games 👊🏽
I enjoyed motorstorm, I also have fond memories of being a child playing a motocross game that was over the top like ssx but can’t seem to remember it’s name.
Man disabling the motion blur alone makes emulating worth it and this is from someone who put hundreds of hours into PR and Apocalypses back in the day
Nice video! For the future I'd suggest focusing more on sound, as game sound is sometimes much, much louder than your voice. Such as in the intro, or at 11:30 where you start by saying something and then very loud music starts blasting. Normalizing the audio in your videos would do a lot good.
So this is the racing game that i thought was super unique when i used to play it endlessly on my psp, i just saw your thumbnail and was god damn it this is that game i never got to know it's name but i loved, also i remember deleting it by mistake on my psp and feeling like shit.
I was hoping after DRIVECLUB (which I still love) Evolution would be given another chance at another Motorstorm game. Pacific Rift was the first Platinum trophy I got and is still one of my top favorite racing games. Nice work putting this video together and thanks for the nostalgic trip!
Great video! I've always known Motorstorm games, but never got to try them, except for that one RC game on the Playstation Store. Also, nice Ace Combat mention in the end, you better make that video soon now that the next game in the series is confirmed to be in development! ;)
Motorstorm was such a huge part of my childhood. My parents got an original ps3 with a new cellphone contract and I played the motorstorm demo for months until they bought it for me lol
i loved motorstorm as a kid, a family friend had a ps3 and it was his only racing game so it was all i played. i doubt i'll bother going through all the effort to emulate it but i really appreciate the detail you went into to help people get the best experience when they do - it's so helpful having all the info you need in one place
ah, yes. An advanced warning system for "incoming earthquakes" that everyone trusts and everyone would definitely evacuate the city for. Very accurate scenario for a game! (But totally awesome!)
I miss motorstorm so much, Pacific Rift is the best of the lot. Spent so much time on the playstation forums for it. I still can't believe an Artic Edge video I uploaded as a kid got 72k+ views. Thanks for the memories!
No idea why you're so down on the OG MotorStorm. I think it was the best one. They started taking themselves a lot less seriously when Apocalypse came out.
It definitely is a great game, but I agree with everything he said. The tracks are all the same thing over and over again, and the single player campaign was extremely hard, but dumb. There was no free play. I love the game though. Pacific Rift is probably the best in the series just because it's Motorstorm 1 but with 16,000 new features and split screen.
Wow didn't realize that little detail about the ms: apocalypse release. I live in new Zealand and found a copy in the bargain bin of the local gamestore pre-owned for $10. (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
MS-A was my go to game during my early teen years. Played with a group of guys called the MOB. Remember spending so much time practicing and getting better in that game so I could have a chance of beating the group leader. Felt so good to finally do it. Dont think Ill ever find another racing game like that again, and its a pity.
this is best arcade racing game series, and one of the greatest games ever because I play it not for achievements, not for car perf of visual upgrades, I play it for fun, for the game process which is fantastic!
Motorstorm Apocalypse was such a standout for me and my little brother. We loved the car customization and the pure mayhem. Pacific Rift had the best splitscreen experience for us and we loved the monster trucks. The first game was just absolutely gritty and the atmosphere in that one is hard to beat.
One of my fondest memories is playing the motorstorm 1 demo at Best Buy when the PS3 was barely out and stupid expensive. I was with a friend and we were literally crying of laughter from the ragdoll physics with the bikers/ATV drivers. I started playing Pacific Rift for the first time a few days ago and its awesome. About to order Apocalypse looks good too
Motorstorm apocalypse did get released in nz at some point since i got it in like 2013ish, from a New Zealand store. top tier memories from playing it with my sister tho
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
Hey man 😊 Great video! It's amazing to see this series getting some love, it's my favourite game series of all time. From this I see your favourite is MSA. Great game, however I do feel you're a little biased towards it over the previous titles. I loved the setting, and it definitely has the best online multiplayer of the series (the CoD-like progression and perk system was SO much more rewarding than the clumsy rank system in MSPR). However, in the context of the MotorStorm festival and series, there are quite a few drawbacks to the game which, in my opinion, make it the weakest of the series. My main issue with it is the change in direction in terms of the story and the soundtrack. MotorStorm for me was always about anonymity and a soundtrack with real bands/DJs, with songs not made for the game. These songs for me reflected the lineup of the respective festivals. Also, the driver was supposed to be YOU taking part in the festival, not playing as someone else. I appreciate that the developers were trying to be fresh and original with their ideas, but I still think the OG MotorStorm formula should've remained unchanged. My second issue is the incredible lack of vehicle models compared with past games. They may have added 5 new classes, but on launch each class only had 3 vehicles in it. Compare that with the first game which had 5 per class, or MSPR which was a downright orgy of vehicle variety, and it was a massive step back. I get they added customisation which was amazing, but the lack of model variety was still very disappointing for me on launch day. Nostalgia tells me MSMV is my favourite, but if I had to be objective I'd say MSPR is definitely the strongest game of the series. Again, great video! Sorry for the absolute essay lol, I'm just quite passionate about this series 😂 Props to you if you made it to the end of this. P.S. Love your editing style 🤣 it was very entertaining. Subscribed 👍🏼
motors storm and burnout best driving games of the 2000s, my adolescence was divided between cod mw2, motor storm and burnout paradise ... i miss them so much as simple and fun games, spectacular soundtracks and unbeatable gameplay
I remember going to a friends house back when i still only had a ps2 And this dude boots up pacific rift. And then he says “check this out” and he starts playing music he loaded onto his ps3 during the game. My mind was blown, something i always wanted was now available. With my ps2, if you wanted your own music in a game, you had to unplug either the white or red audio wire, and go plug in a dvd player than could play CDs. And in order for it work work decently, you had to go into the options and turn up the in game sound effects and turn off the in game music. It was ghetto, but it worked. Made tony hawk even more playable.
I bought a PS3 just to play Pacific Rift. After six years of playing all kinds of games on that console, Rift still sat at the top of the pile. I bought all the DLC and then when Apocalypse came out.... I just went back to Rift after a few weeks. It's top three of all time for me.
There used to be a ps3 at ikea where i live that had the motorstorm demo on it. I remember standing around the ps3 with a bunch of other kids cheering on the kid playing. So much fun
This video makes me moist and brings back my childhood, ok I probably shouldn't have the words moist and childhood in the same sentence but that's alright
I just... want to say that k for malingre this video, I was player of all motorstorm games, I played on my father's ps3 and psp. That was the license game of my childhood. I'm 18 yrs old.... and I'm french
A year ago or so i got my old ps3 out of the closet and replayed Motorstorm and Motorstorm Pacific Rift. They're fun games for some time but both feature the same very bad grievance of rubber band enemies. I'm kinda astonished it wasn't in the video at all, because that's the biggest factor to why the games became unfun after a while (because rubber band became stronger the further you got into the game). It's simply unfun to go around a tight corner on a motorcycle, boosting away only to be crushed by a truck, which should be literally impossible after the vehicle classes specs. But it does happen because of rubber band KI.

Is there seriously no way to get the extra customizations and vehicle models for motorstorm apocalypse?
also i love how in every motorstorm game that one biker always finds a way to end up dead
Rip random biker dudes
@MrDjBigZ He's talking about the guy from the trailers.
Pretty realistic to driving a bike in the game.
@@holidayonionand much more realistic than even MotoGP24.😅
This game seriously needs a remaster or new game

SO TRUE
@@derpydood9986for me my favourite was actually all 4 of them including PS2 of Arctic Edge.

Despite the AI rubberbanding is strong and lacking the amount of tracks unlike Pacific Rift, its still very fun to play.
I love motorstorm, apocalypse specially, and I miss these games so much, really hope they get remastered with online servers for ps5 some day
i miss them as much as Wipeout
not likely
The dev team no exist anymore and sony don't know how big the MS community is to remaster or make a new MS game.

I wish it could come back ;-;
As a diehard fan of Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, i am also hoping Motorstorm series to return probably in between 2026 or 2028.

I remember playing motor storm : artic edge on ps2,man what a game💕
Same man
thankyou for this, i loved playing motorstorm apocolpyse, seeing clips of it finally sparks memories of having a blast
I remember this game so vividly despite being only being around 4-7 when i played it, so badly I wish for a remaster or remake today for PS5
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.
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

Spent more than triple the time playing online and local than I did in the campaign on apocalypse, it's anything but boring
This guy need more recognition for the build quality of his videos this is good shit
huggggeee props to you for making this video. i myself have played all the motor storms except arctic edge. the best memories came from pacific rift. good to see small content creators making videos on racing games 👊🏽
bro motorstorm was a amazing series, apocalypse being my favourite
I enjoyed motorstorm, I also have fond memories of being a child playing a motocross game that was over the top like ssx but can’t seem to remember it’s name.
One of my favourite games off all time. It was tricky to master with terrain and vehicle types. Pacific rift was also a great follow up.
Man disabling the motion blur alone makes emulating worth it and this is from someone who put hundreds of hours into PR and Apocalypses back in the day
Nice video! For the future I'd suggest focusing more on sound, as game sound is sometimes much, much louder than your voice.
Such as in the intro, or at 11:30 where you start by saying something and then very loud music starts blasting.
Normalizing the audio in your videos would do a lot good.
I think this problem is because I edited each segment separately. I plan on fixing this in the next video I make.
I remember playing the demo for the first motorstorm and I instantly fell in love with it
I remember playing this at a friends house, he was like the first guy i knew to get a ps3.. the graphics were jaw-dropping
I always loved the first motorstorm game…more than likely the nostalgia talking, but I never tired of it as a kid
This video needs a new recognition my favorite was pacific rift
So this is the racing game that i thought was super unique when i used to play it endlessly on my psp, i just saw your thumbnail and was god damn it this is that game i never got to know it's name but i loved, also i remember deleting it by mistake on my psp and feeling like shit.
I was hoping after DRIVECLUB (which I still love) Evolution would be given another chance at another Motorstorm game. Pacific Rift was the first Platinum trophy I got and is still one of my top favorite racing games. Nice work putting this video together and thanks for the nostalgic trip!
They kind of did, with Onrush. Not quite Motorstorm, but still
Great video! I've always known Motorstorm games, but never got to try them, except for that one RC game on the Playstation Store. Also, nice Ace Combat mention in the end, you better make that video soon now that the next game in the series is confirmed to be in development! ;)
Motorstorm was such a huge part of my childhood. My parents got an original ps3 with a new cellphone contract and I played the motorstorm demo for months until they bought it for me lol
I own all the Motorstorm games (yes including Motorstorm: RC). This series needs to make a come back. I'm actually playing Artic Edge on my PSP
i loved motorstorm as a kid, a family friend had a ps3 and it was his only racing game so it was all i played. i doubt i'll bother going through all the effort to emulate it but i really appreciate the detail you went into to help people get the best experience when they do - it's so helpful having all the info you need in one place
Holy crap I just remembered this game as soon as this popped up. I had it on my old PS3 it was freaken fun as hell man
I miss playing Arctic Edge on my PSP, seeing posters of it everywhere too... good times.
Time to emulate that sucker and live the good times again!
ah, yes. An advanced warning system for "incoming earthquakes" that everyone trusts and everyone would definitely evacuate the city for. Very accurate scenario for a game! (But totally awesome!)
This was so sad when i found out apocalypse was the last game in this fantastic quadrilogy of motorostorm, i love this game with all my heart
I played the PS3 demo every single time i went to a wal-mart. That demo was amazing. It was more fun than the Uncharted 2 demo
Oh man, the ps3 demo days were blessed
My family was broke so I'd just play the same demos over and over, but I'd never lose interest
Castle Crashers, motorstorm, batman
Motorstorm will always be legendary, it's legacy will live on forever
I miss motorstorm so much, Pacific Rift is the best of the lot. Spent so much time on the playstation forums for it. I still can't believe an Artic Edge video I uploaded as a kid got 72k+ views. Thanks for the memories!
No idea why you're so down on the OG MotorStorm. I think it was the best one. They started taking themselves a lot less seriously when Apocalypse came out.
It definitely is a great game, but I agree with everything he said. The tracks are all the same thing over and over again, and the single player campaign was extremely hard, but dumb. There was no free play. I love the game though. Pacific Rift is probably the best in the series just because it's Motorstorm 1 but with 16,000 new features and split screen.
Omg when "i wanna take u on a roller coaster" started playing i got nostalgic chills
YOOOO that apocalypse one looks INTENSE!!! WTF I would have loved to play that as a kid!
Having played a lot of racing games on the PS2, Motorstorm's instant retry blew my freaking mind back in the day
Thank you for this video! Pacific Rift was my favourite, I still have the disc
Wow didn't realize that little detail about the ms: apocalypse release. I live in new Zealand and found a copy in the bargain bin of the local gamestore pre-owned for $10. (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
So we're a small few in numbers who know about this game? Damn...
I'm gonna play this shit on my phone
Apocalypse is the odd one of the bunch. Every other motorstorm game had a balance of nature and chaotic mayhem. Apocalypse was anxiety and chaos.
I remember playing this game so much on my PSP nearly 12 years ago so I have so many great memories playing it with my cousins
MS-A was my go to game during my early teen years. Played with a group of guys called the MOB. Remember spending so much time practicing and getting better in that game so I could have a chance of beating the group leader. Felt so good to finally do it. Dont think Ill ever find another racing game like that again, and its a pity.
this is best arcade racing game series, and one of the greatest games ever because I play it not for achievements, not for car perf of visual upgrades, I play it for fun, for the game process which is fantastic!
Motorstorm Apocalypse was such a standout for me and my little brother. We loved the car customization and the pure mayhem. Pacific Rift had the best splitscreen experience for us and we loved the monster trucks. The first game was just absolutely gritty and the atmosphere in that one is hard to beat.
Pacific Rift is one of my top 5 favorite games
One of my fondest memories is playing the motorstorm 1 demo at Best Buy when the PS3 was barely out and stupid expensive. I was with a friend and we were literally crying of laughter from the ragdoll physics with the bikers/ATV drivers. I started playing Pacific Rift for the first time a few days ago and its awesome. About to order Apocalypse looks good too
The one game my mom Introduced me too, so many memories growing up
5:45 nearly killed me.
I only ever played the first one, but I played the hell out of it! The game looked _so_ good for it's time.
Motorstorm apocalypse did get released in nz at some point since i got it in like 2013ish, from a New Zealand store. top tier memories from playing it with my sister tho
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
Hey man 😊 Great video! It's amazing to see this series getting some love, it's my favourite game series of all time. From this I see your favourite is MSA. Great game, however I do feel you're a little biased towards it over the previous titles. I loved the setting, and it definitely has the best online multiplayer of the series (the CoD-like progression and perk system was SO much more rewarding than the clumsy rank system in MSPR). However, in the context of the MotorStorm festival and series, there are quite a few drawbacks to the game which, in my opinion, make it the weakest of the series.
My main issue with it is the change in direction in terms of the story and the soundtrack. MotorStorm for me was always about anonymity and a soundtrack with real bands/DJs, with songs not made for the game. These songs for me reflected the lineup of the respective festivals. Also, the driver was supposed to be YOU taking part in the festival, not playing as someone else. I appreciate that the developers were trying to be fresh and original with their ideas, but I still think the OG MotorStorm formula should've remained unchanged.
My second issue is the incredible lack of vehicle models compared with past games. They may have added 5 new classes, but on launch each class only had 3 vehicles in it. Compare that with the first game which had 5 per class, or MSPR which was a downright orgy of vehicle variety, and it was a massive step back. I get they added customisation which was amazing, but the lack of model variety was still very disappointing for me on launch day.
Nostalgia tells me MSMV is my favourite, but if I had to be objective I'd say MSPR is definitely the strongest game of the series. Again, great video! Sorry for the absolute essay lol, I'm just quite passionate about this series 😂 Props to you if you made it to the end of this.
P.S. Love your editing style 🤣 it was very entertaining. Subscribed 👍🏼
motors storm and burnout best driving games of the 2000s, my adolescence was divided between cod mw2, motor storm and burnout paradise ... i miss them so much as simple and fun games, spectacular soundtracks and unbeatable gameplay
I remember going to a friends house back when i still only had a ps2
And this dude boots up pacific rift.
And then he says “check this out” and he starts playing music he loaded onto his ps3 during the game.
My mind was blown, something i always wanted was now available.
With my ps2, if you wanted your own music in a game, you had to unplug either the white or red audio wire, and go plug in a dvd player than could play CDs.
And in order for it work work decently, you had to go into the options and turn up the in game sound effects and turn off the in game music.
It was ghetto, but it worked. Made tony hawk even more playable.
Great video, speaking of great arcade racers, would love to hear your take on Flatout!
I bought a PS3 just to play Pacific Rift. After six years of playing all kinds of games on that console, Rift still sat at the top of the pile. I bought all the DLC and then when Apocalypse came out.... I just went back to Rift after a few weeks. It's top three of all time for me.
There used to be a ps3 at ikea where i live that had the motorstorm demo on it. I remember standing around the ps3 with a bunch of other kids cheering on the kid playing. So much fun
loved pacific rift, glad i remembered these games exist
This video makes me moist and brings back my childhood, ok I probably shouldn't have the words moist and childhood in the same sentence but that's alright
I just... want to say that k for malingre this video, I was player of all motorstorm games, I played on my father's ps3 and psp. That was the license game of my childhood. I'm 18 yrs old.... and I'm french
A year ago or so i got my old ps3 out of the closet and replayed Motorstorm and Motorstorm Pacific Rift.
They're fun games for some time but both feature the same very bad grievance of rubber band enemies. I'm kinda astonished it wasn't in the video at all, because that's the biggest factor to why the games became unfun after a while (because rubber band became stronger the further you got into the game).
It's simply unfun to go around a tight corner on a motorcycle, boosting away only to be crushed by a truck, which should be literally impossible after the vehicle classes specs. But it does happen because of rubber band KI.
Man i remember playing the demos i was so happy when i got apocalypse
