MotorStorm: Pacific Rift demo details News

PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

10 September, 2008

Sony has confirmed the contents of the MotorStorm: Pacific Rift demo due to be distributed to Qore subscribers in the US and randomly selected European PSN users starting this Thursday, 11th September.

The track you get to play is Rain God Spires - an Air Zone track that takes you along a bumpy coastal mountain circuit with plenty of ups and downs to highlight the game's massive draw distance.

There's no online play in the demo, but you will be able to play it in two-player split-screen as well as single-player.

If the name sounds familiar, it should; Rain God Spires is a sort of sequel to Rain God Mesa, the mountaintop track that starred in the original MotorStorm demo and gave us our first glimpse of what Evolution's racing game - now series - has to offer.

Check out today's MotorStorm: Pacific Rift hands-on preview for a bit on Spires, and more on the Cascade Falls and Wildfire tracks, along with some of our observations about track layout in general, the game's visuals and the new monster truck.

what a great way of releasing a demo, do they want people to play this or not?

Hahah. God dammit.

I really don't... hahah.

I really don't know where things are going when we're "lucky" to recieve promotional material. I mean there used to be a time when you couldn't keep stuff out the door, companies trying to jam their stuff down our collective gobs. Now we're paying for it or recieving it as some kind of VIP gift.

Dear devs/publishers; demos are INTERACTIVE TRAILERS, it's YOUR SHOT at giving us a taste of the game and incite us to buy it. Soon we'll need trailers and demos for the demos.

C'mon. It's not the end of the world. The demo will be released to everyone before the game launches. Even though I played the 1st Motorstorm to death, I can wait some more for the demo of the 2nd one.

Yep, the demo will get a normal release a week or two before the game comes out, just like demos for every other game do. It's just that in this case a few people will get it earlier than usual. Nobody is missing out on anything.

One of my biggest complaints about XBL silver was the delay in getting demos, and it's very disappointing to see Sony pull the same trick.

well i was a lucky EU person to be selected for the demo, its downlaoding right now i had no idea about it untill i recieved an email earlier!

but i agree, this is a stupid way of releasing demos, betas i understand but this sucks, i feel the pain of those who havnt been chosen and really want to play it, congratz to sony for creating a few sales losses due to personal boycots!

The demo will be released on ps store, but not untill either just before or just after the games release, this is just a way of getting more to download and play the demo by making people who have it early feel lucky.
