In the latest issue of NEO+, a Polish console magazine, new MotorStorm 2 details have emerged about specific game content and customization available to the user. We've included scans below for you to enjoy and from what we can gather, they are from the in-game replay system.

According to the magazine you will be able to customize your driver to personalize your experience and to further that, you will now be able to customize your vehicles as well with paint and adding new parts. On top of this you'll be given the ability to listen to custom music tracks within races as well as enjoy better camera angles for crashes and better vehicle damage.

Though a lot of you are hoping for a cockpit view of the road, you'll be disappointed, as that does not seem to be an option within the game. However, you will get to race across tracks that feature locations within the jungle, caves, mountain hillsides and volcano craters which include lava.



These are all new features for the franchise that will join the list of other features already released such as split-screen racing. As more information is presented around MotorStorm 2, we'll keep you covered.

    Wow, this Motorstorm is everything I wanted from the first and more.  The customization gods do exist!

    Plus I love the thought of punching riders off their vehicles and having them fall in lava. *Cue maniacal laughter*

    If they make a geat on-line component to this game, it's going to be amazing!

    If the AI is like the first one then I won't be buying it.

    @ vipergts2207: What was wrong with the AI in the first one?

    Another AAA title coming out that is PS3 exclusive, man am I happy about purchasing it. Motorstorm 2 has improved in all of the first ones flaws and even then added more than needed

    Is that a Triumph Speed Triple on the 3rd pic? Nice

    Cool, I might get it...

    what I want:

     

    c0ckpit view

    two players

    funner online

    Chuck Norris customization feature.

     

    Why?

     

    Because Chuck Norris doesn't crash. He just desides when he wants the car to mess up, spin out of control and explode into hundreds of pieces.

     

    And if he were on a bike, he could side kick others outside of an armored vehicle back to motorstorm 1.

    customization! can't wait for this game! the ps3 has a very bright future, so many games coming this fall.

    as i can read in polish there's campaign mode mentioned much longer than in ms1, the rest is blured

    this is good news,,

    the first motorstorm was a bit repetitive after awhile..hopefully this will add much nneeded substance to the game

    • 6:13pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    Can't wait so far its looking great... Better than the first thats for sure.  I beat it while working at Target before I even owned a PS3 so I never bought it.   Hope this one has a better replay value.

    motorstorm was gd but gt bored within a week but this one has more stuff to do etc + different variety of tracs eg...lava, mountains etc which makes it more worth getting thn the first... still gd thoue :p

    • 6:18pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    I liked the first one two - it showed a lot of promise - but it just seemed very rushed, and watered down.

    • 6:29pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    psn id: gingo.... the main reason i didn't buy motorstorm was because of the lack of split screen but since motorstorm 2 is rectifying this left out necessity i will defo be buying this

    You scared of the ai again?

  26. Ljwinter | Ljwinter

    • 6:37pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    All I'm asking for is the ability to turn off the videos when you crash. They are easily the most annoying thing in the game.

  27. Kamahl | Kamahl_rg

    • 6:38pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    seems like this one is gonna have all the things the first one needed, what is amazing is that the first one was great even without all those things so im expecting this one to be veeeeeery good.

  28. AclayPS3

    • 7:03pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

     

    Everything sounds good. The first Motorstorm game seemed imcomplete and a rushed game because of the lack certain content. I'm definantly going to pick up Motorstorm 2 when it comes out.

  29. pizzamonkio

    • 7:06pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    looks cool. but i dont get why people liked the original so much it felt really floaty when you were driving and had for the most part a sluggish feel. maybe i've just been spoiled by gran turismo. lol

    This is going to be like the jeep chase level in Uncharted, only you'll be driving, looking forward,and instead of blowing up 4 wheelers, you'll be mowing them over with big rigs :)

    yes motorstorm we are all witnesses evolve EVOLVE!

    • 8:00pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    I absolutely hated the rubberband AI. And not only that, but the AI worked as a team to beat you instead of individuals. For example, I decided to test this by driving behind a car and riding his bumper. On a freaking straight away the AI car is hitting his brakes so other cars can gain more of a lead. No human player actually trying to win would do this, therefore this game sucks at imitating human intelligence. I'll probably stick to GT5.

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! TAKE THAT PURE! i knew motorstorm 2 would be better than pure,

    I really enjoyed the first one, but it got old for me until my friends picked up a PS3 and got to play with them online. Motorstorm 2 looks like its comming along nicely, really dig the customization part of it.

    People who put the first motorstorm down, are simply not true gamers.       The first motorstorm was an awesome launch title, and still holds up to any other arcade racers out at present...In fact I think it is still the best in the genre on any platform, and I was a huge Burnout fan back in the PS2/Xbox1 days.       Motorstorm 2, just like Resistance 2, looks to build on top of an awesomely good franchise.   

    All they could do now, to ensure Motorstorm 2 is phenominal, is for Sony to use it;'s dedicated servers, ala, Resistance and Warhawk.    

     

  38. Fiddlesworth

    • 9:29pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    Yep, MotorStorm 2 looks to be a huge improvement over the first like R2 to Resistance.

  39. Jbthegreat

    • 9:34pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    omfg this could be the best arcade racing game ever

  40. Pablo0620 | Pablo0620

    • 10:26pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    Im in. Wave 2 of the early PS3 games looking good so far i.e. motorstorm and resistance

  41. DeathByAsh-aman

    • 10:29pm BST - April 3rd, 2008

    I dont know about that AdolphFitler. I'll agree it was good for a lauch title but when i played the demo i couldnt be bothered to pick it up. And just because its the best racing game out so far (before burnout anyways) doesnt mean much, all the other racing games sucked.

    Can't wait to see it in motion

  43. AdolphFitler

    • 1:04am BST - April 4th, 2008

    Deathbyhashman, I respect your opinion..Even though it is wrong and fails to comply with mine.      As I said, anyone who did not think Motorstorm was a great game (period), is not a gamer in the true sense of the word....And for you to moronically say you are unsure of the Great Adolph, only to openly admit you played a one track single player demo, is an insult to anyone who plays games intelligence. 

    At least give a reason why you think the game is average, as I can state five that contradict you.

    1. Great Graphics

    2. Great gameplay

    3. Excellent Online

    4. Awesome tracks (although more would have been nice)

    5. Mad vehicle designs and deformation/damage. 

    The game is just fun..If you can't handle that then sell up your PS3 and buy Snakes and Ladders for excitement.

    If split screen multiplayer will be included, then count me in. Then I'll ber buying it on the release day, without checking ANY reviews.

  47. Undying_Darkness

    • 10:18am BST - April 5th, 2008

    im going to be buying this game on the first day, no matter what the reviews say, because i know Evolution studios will make an amazing game once again.

  48. bluecrane7

    • 11:14am BST - April 7th, 2008
