Motorstorm gets patched to 2.0

by Justin McElroy { Sep 4th 2007 at 4:15PM }

For PS3 owners who've been battling it out in Warhawk, having to actually put a disc into your console to play MotorStorm must seem positively last-gen. With a new patch released today, perhaps the positively dirrty racer is trying to prove that, though its soul may be locked in a disc, it too can glean content from the "Information Superhighway." Below is the list of new features.

Vehicle Select enhancement – your last-used vehicle in each class will now be presented as the default choice during vehicle selection.
Assigned player colours are now displayed in the lobby to make keeping track of your friends and rivals easier during online races and Eliminator matches.
Further Player-Stat Improvements.
Purchasers of 'Coyote Revenge' can now race this track in Online and Time Attack.
Purchasers of Eliminator Mode will find results from this mode also contribute to their Fame Ranking.
Track Exploits for Grizzly and Raingod Mesa have been addressed.
Headset support – An occasional firewall conflict with headset communications has been resolved.
Headset support – voice comms output now available exclusively through headset.

Are you tempted yet? Yes, you have to sully yourself by interacting with physical media, but isn't that nostalgic fun to you PS3 owners by now?

Good video games are last-gen, too.

Does this patch make the demo at Gamestop any more fun?

PhydeWice @ Sep 5th 2007 5:44AM

Probably not. Speaking of patches, when will they come out with one so parents don't use demo kiosks as their own personal day care?

Many reviewers said the game was limited in number of tracks and things to do. So, to fix that, they charged money for another mode and track with a game that cost $60. Finally now they are patching the game so you can use this stuff online.

Does anybody still care about this game? When it shipped it was supposed to be triple A and instead is was ok, but gimped. Now Sony keeps pushing out patches to fix it and making you buy parts of them game that should have been included in the first place. People talk a lot of smack about EA and microtransactions, but this is the worst I've seen. Having your customers prepay for a complete title by charging them for a half finished game and then charging them more for "extra" features is just so arrogant. Maybe it'll be like GTHD was supposed to be where you got the game for free, but by the time you bought everything that was supposed to be in the game, you'd spent $1000.
