From a live chat that's taking place right now with the developers of much hyped 'Motorstorm'. __________________________________________________________ Question was how much of the Ps3's power was being used:
"We are using all of the SPU processors and all of the memory. We also use most of the Blu-Ray disk (thank god its not a DVD!). We are confident however that we can still sqeeze a great deal more out of the PS3 and as we found by making World Rally Championship for PS2 every yeat for 5 years, doubling the visual through put is not unusual on EVERY ITTERATION!) - yes, it even amazes us!" __________________________________________________________ Question was how much of the BluRay Disc capacity was used:
"We use most of it, about 18GB if I remember correctly (and everything on the disk is actualy compressed at a 2:1 ratio too as the CELL is so powerful, that it can decompress the data faster than it can read it." __________________________________________________________ Question was how easy was it to work with the Ps3's CELL processor as opposed to other consoles:
"Evolution Studios makes games exclusively for PS3. We cant really comment on the other platforms, but we can say please judge us by our results. We made MotorStorm from scratch in 2 years with a modest (but exceptionally tallented) dev team. Making great games is always hard, but it's not usually the platform that causes this, its the drive to make it just that bit better that challenges the team - but we bring that on ourselves." __________________________________________________________ -So... just a few comments from the devs of one of the most anticipated game, its just interesting how we get the impression that this game would be very difficult to get on 360 for instance, due to size constraints etc.
FYI Evolution studios is from the UK so they flew to Monument Valley in Arizona to shoot video and reference materials for the games setting and I would just like to say I think they have done a fabulous job and have set a really high bar for future games on all platforms, lets just hope there's more to go around, especially for the Ps3.

Hmm...or maybe the Blu-Ray drive is just really slow...:|
Even if it is real, THERE IS 2 MAPS, whats impressive about a game with 2 maps? They arent even different scenery, they are 2 desert maps. The graphics arent even that great on the demo...the physics are good...

Please try to avoid being too much of a fanboy. I'm pretty sure Motorstorm has more than 2 maps.
