new MotorStorm PS3 trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm2awEjLtLw


to me it looks decent looking, (physics seem nice) but otherwise not
mindblowing as it should be for a $500/$600 next-gen console with CELL
"supercomputer" CPU,
Reality Synthesizer ~ RSX "the most powerful GPU ever built" and the
fastest consumer memory there is; Rambus XDR.

the actual game does not look as good as the pre-rendered E3 2005
render target, not by a long shot. In realtime, the graphics are not
as complex, the image-quality is not nearly as high, and worst of all,
it runs at half the framerate, 30fps.

the exact MotorStorm visuals shown at E3 2005 will not be possible in
realtime, on a Playstation console, until PS4 in 2011-2012. However,
we will see that level of visuals sooner on non-Playstation platforms;
on the PC in 2008-2009 and on the future Xbox around 2010.

Add some motion blur and a few more particles and i'd say its pretty darn
close to being what the pre-rendered E3 05. However, keep in mind that you
arent seeing much of the detail due to the quality of the video. It
definitely looks better than this past E3's video demo. I'm sure that even
you can admit that.

I dont recall the video stating that it was 30fps. I'm not saying its not.
However, how much of that is due to video compression/conversion? Just
asking. Given all the things that the video itself could be blamed for, the
video looks good, and better than what we've already seen. So thanks for
bringing this video to light.

If there's a MotorStorm 2 on PS3, I'd say that it'll more likely look
exactly like the E3 05 visuals. That's just how playstation systems work.
Everyone knows that.

I can admit that its looking like a decent game but not in any way on
par with what was shown at E3 2005. also, ive read through these
threads

there is doubt that even this new trailer is legit -- that there is
more post-processing of image quality going on that what would be
feasible on PS3. like 16x anti-aliasing, and a framrate that never
dips. it could be in-game assests sped up to a higher framerate, with
lots of image-enhancements to make it look great, combined with mostly
close-up replay angles. putting the game in the best possible light.

Lets see what the final game looks like when someone is playing it.

it's been said that MotorStorm runs at 30fps. the new video did not
state that, and maybe it did not run at 30fps but sped up to 60fps. all
i can tell you is that evern since E3 2006, MotorStorm is said to be
30fps and you can believe that if they're using 4x anti-aliasing.

If there's a MotorStorm 2 on PS3 it'll look very good, but not like
certain parts (the most complex ones with all the particles) of the E3
2005 visuals since those are beyond the max capability of PS3. it's
just that simple.

Thanks Blig. Good luck with the rest of the development.

The same idiotic comments were made about all the PS2 E3 demos, and
guess what? PS2 easily trumped every demo ever shown for it and then
some. God of War alone tops every demo ever shown for the PS2. Matter
of fact, the most impressive demo shown for PS2 was MGS2 footage. Guess
what dumbass, the game ended up looking better.

You WILL see that level of visuals on the PS3.

> to me it looks decent looking,

The game looks better than ANYTHING on the Xbox360 so far and
Motorstorm is still in developement by a developer that isn't even that
good of a developer.

LOL.

I'm sure teamxbox holds the definitive truth for all things playstation.

You are an idiot.

Don't forget, the game is 16 player online and 20 offline

the hires one looks fantastic. And no.. I'm not a ps3 zealot, in fact I
generally hate consoles but I'm glad the game is looking close to the
prerender. It all looks realtime to me and frame advancing it shows
subtle signs of realtime motion blur as opposed to prerenders. Of
course most of it is replay angles but there's a few first person shots
which feel good. It's all about the feel, personally I don't care about
the actual gfx, but the feel is nice and chaotic and 'chunchy'.

ps can't anybody have a sane conversation without acting like 13 year
olds? oh.. perhaps they ARE 13 year olds
