What do you want to change for Motorstorm 2?

If you've played Motorstorm you probably know that it's a great game, but it's still missing a few things. We all know that Evolution Studios have been http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=28820by Sony and this has led to news of a new Motorstorm.

My question to the PS3 faithful on GS is this: What would you like to see in MS2?

I'll start off with a few things:

1. SPLIT SCREEN PLAY! I mean come on, we've been doing split screen for as long as I can remember, yet, it still is not included in this game. We need SPLIT SCREEN!!!!!!!

2. Choice: Motorstorm gives you plenty of choice when it comes to vehicles. There is a problem though. Why do I HAVE TO play a big rig...why do I HAVE TO play a mud plugger...why do I HAVE TO play a motorbike. I understand the ticket concept but I think it needs to be reworked.

3. Loading times: I don't need to say much here...if you've played the game...you know about the pathetic loading times.

4. Tighter controls:Although I like the controls in Motorstorm I think they could use a little tighetening.

Your thoughts? This thread will be emailed to Evolution Studios in it's entirety.

- An option to turn the slo mo crashes off. Although im not sure if the first one had this.

- Split screen multiplayer.

- Some level of veriation between the cla$$es.

1. A larger variety of songs.

2. more/larger tracks. (Snow, streets, woods, mountains & WATER)

3. Split Screen.

4. Upgrading for the vehicles.

5. Character customization.

1. Split screen/arcade mode - customizable
2. snow tracks , wooded area tracks (with creeks to drive through)
3. Vehicle and character customization
4. More songs (changeable) and custom soundtracks
5. Additional season mode for each vehicle class (with selectable difficulty levels)
6. Snowmobiles for the snow tracks
7. Nightime racing (with lights)
8. Online team racing

1. Split screen.

2. More tracks,and make sure the downloadable tracks aren't rubbish! (Coyote Revenge and Devil's Crossing are pretty good, but Eagle's Nest and Diamond Raceway are lame!)

3. A screen that shows the stats and terrain abilitiesof each of the vehicle types. I don't like the vague 'It likes mud and has good acceleration' comments.

4. More variety. Snow, forests, countryside, wetland, tropical jungles...etc. Keep the good ol' rocky valleys and mud covered courses but add some new stuff too.

5. Make the mudpluggers better. They're my favourite vehicle type but getting a good lap time with them is hard as hell.

6. A 'Career' option that gives a little bit more than a'Play through the races to get to the end' vibe.

So it looks like most of you want more tracks! I agree, I Think more tracks would be great (especially snow, wooded tracks). I'd also like to see some vehicle customization (they could have different strength booster packs/tires/speed/control/etc.) I also think the vehicle stat thing is a really good idea, right now you kind of just pick a vehicle and hope it's good and go with it...no stats at all on any vehicles, I think they need this.

I forgot to mention this earlier but this game definitely needs better audio options! It doesn't even have any! Like MusashiSensi said I would also like to see more music/audio options in the game. Hopefully when this game comes out we will have custom music selection with it...I think they would be great as custom soundtracks suit racing games VERY well.

Keep the suggestions comming guys.

5. Character customization.

Nightime races with light would also kick a$$. And one that I remebered now : in car view like the E3 2005 (or 2006) trailer

People like the first Motorstorm? Whenever I drive my car it goes straight into a wall or off a cliff. Either the controls are really bad or my controller is broken.DarthShake

OR you suck.

haha I was thinking that was it. Well I suggest that they make the text visable for peoeple with standard tvs cause I have no idea what some of the options are and I know I cant be the only one having this problem.

I never liked the first one, because no matter how good you are, against the bots, they would have this "elastic band" thing where they would catch up to you no matter what.

But thats true with all racing games. You can't just say its with this game. It does it for games such as Grand Turismo too. Developers do this to make games more competive than rather being dull.

Mario Kart? :D

A steady frame rate.

Maybe a spectator mode for online.

The ability to customize vehicles.Like spoilers, color ect. but not getting better engines ect.

More tracks for sure.

split screen

There are only 2 things I require for a purchase, my own music and to be able to play with the buddy sitting next to me on the couch.

Some things that would be nice would be a change of venue, maybe an island theme as opposed to desert this time. Character and vehicle customization, and maybe a co-op race system.

some sort of combat system..
like when you are on a bike you
can make a futile attempt at hitting
someone else on a bike..thats it
when i first got it i thought it would
be like "road rage" but obviously not

- Variety in tracks

- Extra visual custimization (paint, spoiler, w/e)

- Split-screen

- More tracks, i dont want a third of them to be DLC and i have to pay for them

- More car models? like someone said above me, a snowmobile in winter tracks!

- more racing modes.

Agreed with all except the vehicle selection thing... if you could pick whichever vehicle you wanted, wouldn't the races be a bit unbalanced?

Also, they need to add more single player stuff right out of the box.

1. A larger variety of songs.

2. more/larger tracks. (Snow, streets, woods, mountains & WATER)

3. Split Screen.

4. Upgrading for the vehicles.

5. Character customization.

MusashiSensi

This.

Rain and Snow that will actually stay around and affect the entire race in different ways as the races moves forward.

Also a Create a Driver career mode and maybe even a Create a Vehicle option.

MORE GAME MODES maybe stuff like that figure 8 track from the openening scene, or jump off a cliff with a parashute likeinthe festival scene, or do barrel rolls also from the festial scene

maybe some kind of story mode (liike NFS) were you canWALK around and explore the festival and you could walk into tents or booths were you can buy cars orclothing for your driver to wear.AND youcould challenge people to races

ALso I think the cars having lights in night time races would be really cool

Split Screen.

at least 20 maps.... that differ greatly

better loading times

and a combat system like... giving the bikers baseball bats, which can give a long swing towards someone meaning that you can hit people easier, or cars which open their door really fast when a bike pulls up next to you, or trucks which actually pack some punch when they crash into vehicles...

Basically: The focus should be on COMBAT within the racing, rather than just.... racing...

I kinda disagree. I think combat should be restricted to bikes and ATVs, i'd much rather have a racing game that's focused entirely on the actual racing... but each to their own.
