Has anybody checked to see if the latest patch adds G25 wheel support?

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift |OT|
- Thread starter EktorPR
- Start date
I bought this for $35 at Newegg and I'm loving it. It can be almost too difficult at times, but it doesn't feel unfair. The level designs are easily some of the best I've seen in a racing game, and graphically I might even give it an edge over Killzone. Great, great game.
If Evolution could tone down the difficulty a notch, I'd love to see them make the next MS something along the lines of Wave Race.

You obviously haven't got to rank 7 yet. The AI goes from being any normal racer to retardedly difficult, cheating shit in a single rank. I was just playing riptide on festival rank 7, finally thought I was going to get gold after repeated attempts until one of the AI rockets up out of nowhere (at totally unrealistic speeds) and veers wildly off it's own path to drag me and it into a tree....instantly sending me to 7th place and taking me over the wreck limit.
Fuck this game, ranks 7 and 8 don't even exist to me.

Been getting into this more the last few days....again.....Wow does the game look better than I remembered. The DLC tracks are fun and full of twists and turns too. Awaiting the next pack which hopefully comes out this week.

Why is the patch such a huge file??? 608MB for a title update would be unheard of on Xbox 360.
Do you guys recommend the Speed pack? When does Adrenaline come out?

I'm not bitching really, I have plenty of HD space on my PS3 but already ran out on the 360. Such bullshit. "15" GB is nothing.F#A#Oo said:

For all I care the Speed and Adrenaline packs are 10GB each, but keep them on the Store where they belong, not disguised as "patches". Why should every player be forced to download over a gig of content, when not even 10 percent of those players will actually pay and play that content?

Oh fuck that. It's like the third Motorstorm week end pack. MP only suck. It's like they were too lazy to create new single player events or something. MP only is half the fun gone and now I'm really reconsidering my purchase.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a detailed review/comparison between the two course packs? Got 10 bucks in my virtual wallet and can only afford one.

I'm loving the speed weekend challenges.

The patches included the fixed tracks (removal of cheat routes, etc), title updates and the new DLC vehicles. The DLC vehicles are only playable for people who bought/own the DLC, but non-DLC user will still see them in online races (driven by DLC owners, etc).Goldrusher said:

What utter shit!
This game starts to get Dowloadable Content as soon as my Triple breaks down.
I hope Sony announce and release the PS3 Slim soon so I can get back into this game. :*(
This sucks! WTF

I came back to this last night after a few months off, and managed to clear gold on a track that I'd tried about thirty times before at just my third attempt! :lol
Of course, the tracks afterwards still had me swearing. Been playing Burnout for so long I'd forgotten what a hard game was like! I have 600 points remaining until I hit rank 8 I think - I assume the game is still well supported online?

So, I finally began playing this online the last few days (including a session yesterday with GAFfer BeeDog), and man do I suck! I cannot get past 50% in Gold Grunt, Rookie Rank seems unattainable wwhen you always place 8th and below :lol Of course, getting crushed by Monster Trucks at every occasion doesn't help... What are your online tactics, fellow Lunatics?

Same here. I just started after buying the two packs, and I'm getting my ass handed to me every single time. And of course, after getting out in front, some fucking Monster Truck runs me down.
I'm enjoying the new packs too, but alas, I hope they bring something new to the single player experience. That way I can enjoy both the new scenery and the taste of victory instead of furiously tapping Circle to get back to the lobby.
I've admitted defeat on the Festival on this. About half way to rank eight and it's really brutal - been trying to beat a speed track (In a Mudplugger, I hate the larger vehicles in this game) and I can't even make the bronze, so clearing another 18 or so seconds at the moment seems impossible. I'm not having fun any more. 
Climb the online ranks, beat dev time trials, unlock more vehicles ... and then you'll win the last few festival events. Do it.No45 said:I've admitted defeat on the Festival on this.

If I did it, you can do it! I gave up at 78 Golds and 18 Silvers, and shudder at the thought of going back...

Half of my problem is I just can't leave an event until I have gold on it, which makes the game really frustrating. I haven't taken the game online at all yet though, perhaps that will help. Might get online tonight perhaps, although I bought Resi 5 earlier in the week and haven't played it yet.
I was the same, until the AI infuriated me and I decided to settle for Silver, which I managed in the end. Filling an online lobby with GAFfers is my only shot at most online trophiesNo45 said:
As for RE5, well, I didn't feel like playing it so I loaned it to a friend. Maybe it'd be more fun in coop?
I got gold on all the festivals. It is hard. But it is very doable.
You have to use boost very carefully anyway but in in the speed event, you have to be extra cautious. Usually, I save my boosts untill the long stretches. Track lines are really important and look on youtube for the fastest laps. Beat the developer ghosts as well; you'd be surprised how immensely easy it is to improve by ten to fifteen seconds just by improving lines, controlling your boosts and staying on the right course for your vehicles. I say ten to fifteen second improvements, where it is implied that you are ten to fifften seconds off pace. The world's fastest times are much much faster then anything in the festival.
And do change vehicles when it isn't working. Changing vehicles does make a difference, even in the same class.

I am now at rank 8 and I love the game more than ever. It takes me about an hour to beat a single race. You have to be pretty perfect to win, but if you drive perfectly you dont even see your oppponents after the first 10-15 seconds, so I dont even care if they are cheating.edgefusion said:
With one or two crash it's pretty tough to win, but without I usually finish the race with like 3 or more seconds ahead (lousy gamer, so hard work...but sooo much fun).
The strategy (if you want to call it that) is easy. If you drive one lap perfectly and you dont lead then you have to look for a different route...which of course depends heavily on the vehicle you drive.

Rank 8 is complete and utter bullshit. There is no other answer. It's not fair and features the most egregious use of rubber band AI in any game, bar none. Makes Mario Kart Wii look like a tournament-caliber racer.
The fact that I've devoted so much of my life to getting a gold on every track only to be cheated out of a trophy due to a handful of cheap races really, really irritates me.
Sure, I can get them after hours and hours of frustration and trial and error, but is it worth it? It's not the speed events, either. Those are easy. It's the damn races.

My thoughts exactly. I really enjoyed the game but then got to Rank 8 and stopeed playing. I don't think I've won a gold medal on any ticket in Rank 8 but was able to do so on every race before that (though that wasn't easy either). Any tips? I'm thinking about giving it another shot. I did finish the first game 100% though.

Am I the only one that finds it incredibly hard to control the vehicles in this game? I feel like it's a struggle to take turns. I can't seem to get used to it.
