8.9-based on what I've seen and heard of it, it could deserve higher. But I won't be able to judge personally until UK launch in just over 3 weeks......
Let's hope a 9 for gs. But.. i know for a fact that it will be lower than that. maybe a low 8. Look what happened to Resistance and Virtua fighter 5. They were SUPPOSED, in my opinion, get a 9, but look wat happened. 8.6 and 8.1
The game lacks offline multiplayer (which is a really stupid design decision, seeing as how pretty much every game in the genre has it) and it will likely be reviewed by Jeff Gerstmann.

best not be Jeff....please God....imagine if Jeff reviews MGS4.....march to gamespot with flaming torches
I wish Greg was still here. Best reviewer, Jeff's reviews I generally tend to disagree with. For some reason Greg to me, always hit on the spot with a few exceptions of course(MGS3, Splinter Cell etc).
But as for the score, I'd go with a 7.8. The lack of offline multiplayer, and I heard the online isn't as great right now, could be a concerned unless Evolution Studio's fixed that up before release, plus Jeff's reviewing it most likely. Remember the Mario Karts? Thought they we're fun games, but they've never sat well with Jeff.
MotorStorm looks to be a great game, a must have game for me at least. However, I predict that GS will only give it a score between 8.0-8.9. The lack of splitscreen multiplayer is going to hurt the games rating. Exactly like how VF5's score was reduced because of the lack of online multiplayer.
Well, knowing GameSpot, they're probably going to have some Anti-Sony person do the review (like a bunch of others :wink:). My debate on what I think I would give MotorStorm after playing the demo: Gameplay - 9 Graphics - 9 Sound - 10 Value - 8 or 9, meh, 8.5 Tilt - 10 =9.3/10 GameSpot: Gameplay - 8 Graphics - 9 Sound - 9 Value - 7 Tilt - 7 =8/10 I think they will give it a 8.0/10
[QUOTE="shazanarkand"]2.2 Gameplay: 1.9 (Becasue Forza 2 has better offroad rage than anything else) Graphics: 1 (They have seen better on the Wii) Value: 3 (Just becasue it the greatest game sony has ever produced in Gamespot's opinion) Tilt: 0 (Gamespot "LOL MICROSOFT PAID US A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY.") Didnt you guys hear becasue PS3 is less compatible than it used to be Gamespot hate the PS3. Ign: 9.4 Gametrailers: 9.6 My review from the demo: 9.5 (but its only a demo) Seems like something GS would do. :P
seeing as how GS is full of Sh!t i say 7 but no more than that. i go on here to read about my game consoles like ps3 and 360 and all i get is begative crap about the ps3, they didnt bother to say that the ps3 games will cost less in europe than 360, BTW i get most of the news from people linking me to IGN so y am i even on here, dont matter, this is my last post here FVCK this site

Yes they did report the cost of ps3 in Europe and they did state it was cheaper then the 360 games and equivalent to the Wii games.
The motion sensing function on the ps3 controller. The six movements from you pad which the ps3 can mimic on screen.

No it's not. It's been there since PS2 days and I don't know what it is. Reviewer’s Tilt (Tilt) This score basically lets a reviewer sway the final score-either higher or lower-based on the reviewer’s overall experience with a game. Here’s an example: A game might have really good graphics and sound but only mediocre gameplay. As a result, it gets a low tilt score to keep the overall from being boosted too high, since the game ultimately isn’t fun. Likewise, a game might have mediocre graphics and sound, but it might include a really good story and a lot of original ideas. As a result, it might get a high tilt to boost the overall score a bit, which suggests to you that you should look beyond the game’s production values.

No it's not. It's been there since PS2 days and I don't know what it is. The overall score on GS is automatically determined by the 4 criteria gameplay, graphics, sound and value and tilt is only used to adjust the overall score. For instance, you can give a game 10 in all 4 categories and give a 1 in tilt and the overall score is a 7.3

Up till now, I've refrained from hyping Motorstorm, because of how poorly I feel GS did on Resistance. GS is so random with their reviews that It is hard to tell what they are going to rate a game. They rate Bad games really low, and they rate hugely hyped/great games low as well. Then they go and rate Gears of War a 9.6. I Honestly don't get GS. So I'm going to say they rate Motorstorm anywhere between 1.0 and 10. Probably somewhere between 7.5 and 8.9.
Note: I'm not saying that not taking hype into consideration is a bad thing for reviews. Because its good to see realistic reviews. But when you give a hugely hyped game a very high score, even when there truely are better games out there, then you give another hugely hyped game from another system a very disapointing score, it makes your reviewers look very inconsistant and.. well.. bad judges.
Yeah, I know it just some dudes opinion, but when that "dudes" opinion reflects the feelings of the entire website, you'd think that "dude" would put a little more thought into the score. i'm not saying all games for the PS3 should be a 9.0., but when your scores generally have at least a .5 to 1 whole point lower score than all the other sites, it doesn't look good in my eyes, as well as a lot of other peoples eyes too i would imagine.
I'm going to guess 7.8-8.4 only because I know that Jeff will review it so there is a few points knocked off at the beginning, it isn't a replica of the video we saw two years ago (which you KNOW he'll make a HUGE deal out of) and it lacks multiplayer, therefore it won't get a glowing score. I know Jeff will review MGS4 and it'll get a much lower score than it deserved. I've said it many times but Greg Kasavin was the most biased reviewer on here (Jeff now takes that title). He gave MGS3 a lower score (it was still a good score mind you, but way too low for that game) for dumb reasons such as "gameplay hasn't changed much" when the gameplay was a HUGE change with addition upon addition and, IMO, the gameplay was still easy (not for everyone though) for MGS fans (which, really are the only people who would buy it anyways) and it was ridiculously fun to play (I'm STILL playing it on my 7th or more time through and it is STILL fun). That same month he reviewed Halo 2 and gave it a glowing review (9.4) when in reality, it was a mediocre game AT BEST. Halo is fun but not the amazing be-all end-all shooter it is made out to be. The gameplay in Halo 2 hardly changed at all. Woo, so you can use two guns!
