8 tracks for Motorstorm??

Pyrros: How many courses is MotorStorm coming with?
Nature_Boy: To Pyrros MotorStorm features 8 tracks. Each of these tracks vary in size but are far bigger than your average racing game with multiple routes. These routes that can also only be accessed by certain vehicles. This gives each track a unique flavour every time you play it with a different vehicle.

Only 8 Tracks? I was thinking upwords of 20 but only 8?? This is very dissapointing.spursguy21

I would rather have 8 great tracks than 20+ cack ones.. it's quality that counts not quantity.. also as mentioned the tracks very in size with some taking more than 10mins to complete also there are reverse modes so that adds to the number as well. hellscovern

when u finish a race in the demo it says with 15 tracks and over 165 different vehicles
i dont know if they've changed it but im satisfied with 8 tracks
plus theres always downloadable content :)

The 15 tracks statement refers to the reverse tracks that you unlock in the full game they haven't changed the number they just included them in the total which most devs do with their games. 

Let's not forget the future downloadable content that will be available.

aw dude 8 is soo weak, they delayed the game and only 8 tracks?...they better b the best 8 tracks i've played in a racing game!

not to rain on any fans parade but, some of you keep say "i'd rather have 8 great tracks than 20 so-so ones." that's cool and it's your opinion and all, but who's saying these tracks are great to begin with? 8 GREAT TRACKS. says who??? it's a racing game, there's going to be some you won't like at all. that's why these games typically have so many tracks to choose from, as you aren't likely to love them all so they give you more options. 8 tracks is just that, 8 tracks. the problem of it is they're not giving you a whole lot of options, and that's what i find disappointing.phantas777

Well the only track I know is the one on the demo, so I guess we'll have to see what the other 7 look like when the game is released. Also, everyone seems to not care about future downloadable content, and I can't understand why.

The point that you all are missing is that there are 65 racing events!

Aside from the reversible tracks, there are also night time races and a wide variety of vehicles that are going to make each race feel different. And if you've played with just the 2 different vehicles available in the demo... then you KNOW how different the same track can feel.

I've had so much fun with that single track, I'll be happy just to have the full game & all of the vehicles.

Online updates and downloadable tracks a possibilty for the future to overcome this 'problem'?chrisius007

I heard that there will be a bunch of new content available in the future.

Those 8 tracks break down to 65 different racing events depending on vehicles and racing conditions... that's going to be a pretty awesome experience & certainly nothing to be disappointed in. From the vids and the demo... we can be pretty certain that all 8 tracks will be great. The racing dynamics of this game is what makes it so great... and that will easily translate to the different tracks available.

I don't get it. Why do xbox guys give a crap how many tracks there are? In over a year, the 360 hasn't had a game that's even close to this racer. It's a new IP and PS fans love it. So again, what does it matter if it only has 3 tracks? You xbox guys aren't planning on getting a PS3 for this game are you? THis constant dissing of the PS3 and any games that come out for it is just getting very disgusting.chubear700

Actually, having played both... it does seem like MotorStorm is going to be way better than PGR3. If you'll check most review sites (including GS)... they say the same thing, this is the best racer anyone has played so far. No racing game to date has the physics and terrain qualities that MotorStorm has built into their racer. It's really unbelievable.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The X360 has several racers that are better than MotorStorm. There's no way this game is going to come close to touching PGR3. That was a *launch* game with the 360. I have a feeling that MotorStorm willl be pretty close to Test Drive Unlimited in quality. If you look at the reviews TDU received an average score of around 80% - 90%, which is pretty much right on par with the reviews of MotorStorm. Also, if you're not interested in talking about the topic (i.e. Motorstorm has 8 tracks) why are you even here? You're just trying to turn this into a flame war (360 vs PS3). That's not what we're talking about. Jeez.sts9kid

I just can't wait to race at night, on a muddy track, on the edge of a friggin mountain!! bitedcurbnow

How about we look at facts? I know that Americans haven played Evolution's previous games nut between '02 and '05 they have put out 5 games with 115 (5min+) tracks each (14 countries with 8 to 9 completely different tracks each) and their WRC series has been regarded as the very best in its genre because the high quality tracks  and car physics.

At no time has the people at Evolution been secret about their tactic when it came to Motor Storm, they have always told how they focus on a few high quality tracks with high replayability and wouldn't add cars unless they were played differently than the other cars already in the game while not screwing up the balance.
Imagine how hard it's balancing tracks and so widely different vehicles so one has a chance to win no matter what one drives compared to the competition.

Motor Storm's replayability is not from numbers but from how differently the vehicles handles, deformable terrain and the tactics of the competition. Not forgetting the time of day, how the angle of the sun interacts with the gameplay.

Out of GT4's 41 tracks I can only name 12 worth playing more than once (Grand Canyon, Chamonix, Cathedral Rocks II, Costa di Amalfi, George V Paris, El Captain, High-Speed Ring, Autumn Ring, Nürburgring, Nordschleife, Suzuka, Circuit de la Sarthe) where the rest feels like rushed rehash low budget trash made by a less qualified dev team (some tracks were even better in GT3) and only very few tracks are even close to 10min.

Have people already forgot all the fun they claimed to have with the tracks in the demo?

I feel 100% ensured that people who complain about MS "only" having 8 tracks are peoples who haven't had enough interest in the game to even look into what it's about.

Maybe people should keep in mind that Motor Storm takes up 18GB highly compressed data.

8 tracks? Wow.. suckage for such an anticipated game.  Anyone who trys to turn this into good news is obviously a fanboy.Cellien

The demo alone has plenty of replay value. You're more likely a liar than a real PS3 owner. There are several games worth owning on the system already. And there will likely be racing games better than MotorStorm in the future, but it is definitely better than anything that has come out so far. Not a single aspect about it is standard or average. So you fail.

They said there are different routes which can be accessed only by certain vehicles. What do you think that means? Different racing paths in the same level. 8 Tracks but hte possibility of 2-4 different kinds of racing.Wii26

Well there are 65 different racing events in the game all designed to feel different and give us some variety. We already know that the tracks feel different depending on which vehicle you're driving anyway.

Actually, I own a PS3. I have yet to purchase a game for it after many rentals. The games are not that good. I thought the Motorstorm demo was neat as a tech demo, but it didn't keep me entertained for very long. Trust me, I'd love to see a good game for the PS3, but calling Motorstorm "TEH BEST RACER EVAR" is silly. It seems like a pretty standard game with some good graphics and environment/car destruction. I'm waiting until I can play the finished product, but I think it's going to lack content, which will make the replay value low for single player.sts9kid
