New (and free) MotorStorm DLC hittin' the dirt on May 14

What's better? They're all free! Starting tomorrow and continuing for the following eight weeks -- one livery pack a week. Also included in tomorrow's DLC will be a patch clearing up a few bugs and accidents left in the game, as well as a new addition to online play in "microbadges." In so many words, a variety of icons will hover over each characters head, allowing you to show off your mad skillz to all your opponents (as seen in the screenshot above). Care to peep the new colors? Check out a video showing them off after the break!

I love Motorstorm. And I love freebies.

Awesssommee!!

Motorstorm. wow.. and now it gets better.., MAYBE the free DLC practice that Criterion started a year ago finally made some waves!!!

I doubt it. The first MotorStorm game had a lot of free content for download as well as paid content. I think Burnout took notes from MotorStorm ;-p
why not the LS2LS7? @ May 13th 2009 5:54PM
The first Motorstorm started out so far being the curve that it had to do a bunch of DLC. It was basically patched to what 1.0 should have been.

I haven't bought it yet but I am tempted. Are the controls improved from the last one? The handling kind of chafed me the wrong way, and I'm still cranky that Motorstorm has replaced wipeout as the default PS racing franchise...
why not the LS2LS7? @ May 14th 2009 12:13AM
The cars still respond to controls a bit slugglishly. I'm sure the excuse is that it is because they are driving in mud. It's a very enjoyable game.

Looks delightful :) Its been a while since I've played it, must play it again ^^

free dlc is awesome.

Thank you Evolution-studios. I have been meaning to get back into Motorstorm PR and this is a great incentive.
alidarjarok @ May 13th 2009 4:33PM
Actually, the patch released yesterday.

Wow! The PS3 can handle a colour palette other than brown, grey and green?
Mein Bratwurst @ May 13th 2009 5:29PM
Wow, Wii plays games other than Mario rehashes and shovelware?
Sorry, I shouldn't have stooped to your level.

Don't be jealous.

Um Mr. Mobius.. Uncharted 1 & 2, Little Big Planet, MGS4, Heavy Rain, Resistance 2, & White Knight (just to name a quick few) all say "hi".
Btw... Riddle me this: What does the first Uncharted still look better than any 360 exclusive to date?
Bloo @ May 13th 2009 5:31PM
First of all, you look pretty foolish attacking a Wii fanboy with a bash on the 360.
Secondly, to say Uncharted (a game I love) looks better than any 360 game is simply retarded. No list war needed...
The Baron @ May 13th 2009 5:41PM
@Bloo
I try to avoid the whole fanboyism thing, but I'm curious to know which 360 game actually looks better than Uncharted? Because that game is beautiful.
mr mobius @ May 13th 2009 6:55PM
You didn't understand the point of blatant sarcasm then did you? I'm aware of those games, and LBP is a game I'd actually want.
The Baron @ May 13th 2009 5:47PM
New maps please!
mr mobius @ May 13th 2009 6:14PM
I was expecting the flash out, just surprised how hurt the Sony Fanboys got over a bit of sarcasm.
Kodros @ May 13th 2009 7:16PM
You basically said the same thing that trolls have said in the past. When you do that, it's very hard to tell what is sarcasm and what is douchebaggery.
Albert @ May 13th 2009 6:18PM
The sad thing is I still have motorstorm PR in shrinkwrap waiting to be played
mr mobius @ May 13th 2009 7:18PM
I know that it was a troll thing to say, but it wasn't intended in a troll way. I should make my sarcasm more obvious online. Text can be interpreted too many ways.
el serpiente @ May 13th 2009 7:23PM
Stop. You trolled poorly and you are trying to save face with the old sarcasm excuse. Fail.
You have now crossed the threshold from annoying to noxious by derailing the whole thread, and monopolizing it by discussing yourself and your stupidity.
Now go away.
mr mobius @ May 13th 2009 7:25PM
If I was trolling, I wouldn't need to seek approval by claiming to be sarcastic.
You're right though, this thread has been slightly dominated, so I'll go.
Nithiyan 'Fridge' @ May 13th 2009 7:40PM
Evolution studio's need to bring back WRC, i loved that series, it was the best of the bunch! Imagine what'll it be like on current gen consoles with HD graphics!!!
Ficken @ May 13th 2009 8:11PM
I have a feeling this game will be occupying a chunk of my summer game time, I really need to get back to this.
Warp Whistle @ May 13th 2009 8:48PM
I don't own a PS3 but always thought Motorstorm was really simple fun. Straightforward racing that's not overly complicated but still totally awesome and replayable.
