1. I want split screen for Motorstorm 2.

Make it happen.

2. Given the outright mediocrity of Motorstorm, it sounds like more money down the drain. Hopefully they'll get their act together for MS2.

3. considering they pretty much hit their target render for their FIRST PS3 project (something EA's teams can't boast about), i'd say it was a smart move.
now, if only they'd get them to make a PS3 JetMoto using the MotorStorm engine....

5. Um... today's exchange rate: 1 euro = 1.4 US dollars. Not over 2 bucks, as the 16-to-33 math would require.

6. @5, the amount is 16M GBP, not Euros.

7. But it was in GBP not Euros.

EA have just bought Bioware and Pandemic...

I like Evolution I would like to see them expand and produce more. As their first project out of the WRC license I think MotorStorm was a great start.

Apparently the true next generation Wipeout will use the Motorstorm engine.

9. It was a pretty cheap buy I think for a studio that has experience in making a good 3D racing game for the PS3. Motorstorm really just lacked maps and some online features.

I wonder what would happen if we combine their awesome physics and destruction models with GT's realistic driving simulation and epic scale...

10. ClarkyCat! Another xbot not qualifying statements. Mediocrity, eh? Justify your statement, otherwise, it's just sewage. Also you would need to point out what game achieves what Motorstorm does, only better. Get back to us when those neurons start firing. Sorry, IF.

oooh, Solace, smart move!

I want to see better solo campaign for this piece, something with a story and characters and not the cheesy vomitous junk that EA spews at us with their racing games.

An RPG-like solo experience with great online, and different scenery! Forest, snow, dirt (of course), city... the moon (different gravity, anyone?)

So:
More solo involvement
More scenery
Fix little things like vehicles loading slowly and stuff (maybe this is already fixed)
More mediums (per Solace, such as water).

I'm excited about what Sammy said about Wipeout, is that true? If so, Wipeout will once again kick booty.

11. they shouldve spent that money making devil may cry or assassins creed an exclusive to the ps3 instead

12. @11

I'm with you there. I don't like this move that much. While it provides stability in the sense that they will not be making games for other consoles it doesn't make sense creatively. The better PS3 games come from second party devs not first party ones.

That said they made an excellent first wave game, I just don't see what more someone can add to racing games besides better graphics.

I am also intrigued by what those other games are.

13. But I guess this is a long run move. Even if they start making crappy games Sony can sell them.

15. Gotta say I loved the single user game. Multiplayer was kind of boring though. The only thing the game really needs though is split screen and machine upgrades. The biggest replay-ability of any racing game for me is one multiplayer split screen and two being able to improve your machines.
