A sequel to mud-em-up MotorStorm has been officially announced.

In a press release during TGS, it was confirmed that Evolution Studios, purveyors of ace racing games, are making a MotorStorm 2. After the success of MotorStorm as a launch title, this comes as no surprise, but is still welcome news.

Hardly any details exist about the new game, but expect more of the same crazy physics and fun gameplay. And hopefully Evolution Studios will see it fit to include split-screen multiplayer this time? We can but hope.

Kaz Hirai announced at Sony's TGS keynote speech that the company had acquired Evolution Studios, ensuring that all future titles from the developer will be PlayStation exclusive.

We'll bring you more news as it breaks.

Stay tuned.

    They have a good game to begin with, so they'll hopefully correct the minor flaws and make us a great game!

    Kool Split Screen multiplayer. I was disappointed that the first motorstorm wasn't multiplayer. Should be good.

    This game should be sweet. They dont have to spend as much time figuring things out this time around.

    well i love motorstorm, i own it and i like the idea of it, but for the second one, i hope theirs split screen, more levels, and more fighting on bike like kicking and that. cant wait, now lets hear resistance 2 getting announced.

    Motorstorm was the sheeeeeeit.  I even imported it from Japan when it first came out cause I couldn't wait to play it.  The new game should be even crazier as they have had time to develop for the system.....and IMHO Motorstorm is loads better than dirt or sega rally revo.  I mean, honestly.....with Dirt....you put a game out like that with the weakest online ever....wtf????  racing against other peoples times!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!  lame.

    psn id: gingo.... maybe if this is a full game this time i may buy it, i mean not even putting split screen in a racing game that is just poor developing

    I have a rental account and rent all my games. I had Motorstorm for a month and when I post it back I started to get withdrawal symptoms. That was when Motostorm was first released and I still get the urge to play it, especially when I have been reminded of its existence.

    I think I'm going to have to buy Motorstorm 2? I don't think the game will be in multiple different environments like in a rally game. So the setting could be on the moon, lol no really the setting in a tropics. We could race around the island in the crysis game, lol. The games visuals always look better in the tropics. The tracks will be sand, wet sand, further into the jungle roads would be made obviously and the roads would be hard soil to really muddy and further into the centre there will be avolcano with tracks made to race around it and the tracks will be rocky.

     

    Yeah

    Hopefully this game will be more complete. MotorStorm wasnt bad, but it had too few courses and missed features such as time trial, and those things at launch.

    Let's hope the next installment will be any near to the Target Trailer in 05, I'm sure ya all remember this one, I just can't get it out of my head cuz it looked so freakin awesome...The should take as much time as they want if they can make it that way

    THE ORIGINAL 05 TRAILER!!! thats what i want!..... i want that awesome camera angle we all saw on the buggy in the begining, and the FPV we saw on the bike.... yeah i want to see my handle bars.... i think DIRT's closer to that trailer then MOtorstorm.... motorstorm rocks.... but much like MGS4, its so far off from its original CG footage, my little bro almost cried when he didn't see a FPV on the bike.... and i actually hated motorstorm the first day, because of that.... C'mon evo.... put some camera angles on that next time!!!
