Aliens: Colonial Marines confirmed for Q1 2009
Sony is late to the game with latest Press Release
New Hawx trailer is full of intensityEvolution Studios has said that it has only managed to scratch the surface of what it is capable of achieving on the PlayStation 3 following its work on the original MotorStorm title.
Speaking during an interview with Videogamer.com, Nigel Kershaw, director of the upcoming sequel MotorStorm Pacific Rift, stated, "We've realised we've just scratched the surface of what we could actually do with the machine. And I'm sure next time around we'll learn a lot more from MotorStorm Pacific Rift."
"The first game pushed the PS3, this is pushing the PS3, our next game is going to push the PS3. It's not so much about pushing the hardware, it's about learning how to use the hardware in the best possible fashion."
"Now we've spent a lot of time with it we're starting to make it sing under the hood," he said, referring to the advantages of having already released a game for the Sony platform.
Kershaw added that developers are slowly starting to unlock the power of the machine as companies begin work on their second or third title for the PS3, commenting:
"Actually the first and second generation of games that we've seen on the PS3 are just people starting to learn how to make great games for it. It's a long race. Now that developers are starting to write their second or third game, they're starting to untap the power that's within there."
MotorStorm Pacific Rift is due out later this year.

Next: Dungeon Hero for PS3 "not out of the question" Firefly Studios has said that a PlayStation 3 version of its upcoming action title Dungeon Hero is “not out of the question.” Speaking to Videogamer.com as... |
EA should learn how to use the behemoths power!
can't wait. 2 players, FINALLY. I'm going to have some friends over, and there'll be no stopping the mayhem!
this is nothing new... as time progresses you will become more comfortable with developing on a platform. now only if the n00bish dev's out there would realize this and strart making some reasonable efforts...
they talk about like theres some secret power that they are learning the system hasnt change.. they just arent that smart
ok guys think of the ps3 now as a ps1 and near the end of its life we will see the ps3 true power in terms of graphics and AI legnth of games blah blah....so yea the ps3 now is in the ps1 stage then it will go to the ps2 then boom we are hit with the aw so sexy ps3....to bad its going to take time tho :(
@EVO9MRJR: You do realize that developing a game is a long and difficult process, don't you? Besides, the PS3 architechture is difficult in the sense that it's somewhat different from the other consoles which offer fewer possibilities but in exchange a simpler development platform. With comments like "they just arent that smart", you sound like you assume that every developer knows off the top of his head how to use the Cell BE and RSX fully. Well, they don't. It is the same with every platform ever created, and will probably continue that way, but some platforms just have a gentler learning curve. No doubt, the PS3 is the best of its generation, but it is certainly not the easiest to develop for.
well said prog
psn id: gingo.... the first motorstorm title was very impressive especially for a launch game (well in UK anyway) so if they can build on that plus have 4 player split screen, i cant wait to see how much they have improved it
What we need are more system exclusive titles. Too many games being developed for both competiting machines so really the xbox is probably dragging down a lot of games that could have been better. I hope exclusive titles like Killzone, Socom, and MGS will really raise the bar on what is the future of this young system.
I really want to play this game.
I really liked Motorstorm. Good graphics and fun to play. After this statements, I'm realy waiting for something amazing. 4 players split screens is.
yes it just going to get better and better
CAN'T WAIT. i don't wish 2player offline mode i wish 4 player offline mode XD
weird how evolution have only scratched the surface of the ps3's power, while Konami have all ready stated that they are getting the most they can out of the console
splitscreen is great yep. 4 way split would be greater. but 2-4 players split and online. that's where its at.
before you say ANYTHING there's as much potential for cheating in this configuration as in any party game with voicechat. could just as well put 2 ps3s next to each other and play online together for that matter. hopefully this isn't a significant factor, at least not enough so to deterr any dev from incorporating this sort of feature ( hopefully anything that would unbalance the gameplay could be prevented). i spose there are other factors like maybe bandwidth with the exra inputs, but still i want to be able to hop online with a friend or two plZ!! heck mariokart did it so cmon evo!
then again mariokart wii is dirty and cheap beyond words. i've never had so much fun getting relentlessly pounded from behind.
