4. I was happy to see the Motorstorm demo on there as I missed out on the beta test. I’m actually disappointed in the game itself - it’s not progressed much since the original version to be honest. One problem I had with the first game is the whole slow-mo crashes - looks great at first but starts to get annoying after a while. They’re still there. It’s good to see another major demo worth checking out as well. I’ll try that one tonight. Personally I’m not that interest in the other content. However, overall I think it’s a fairly solid store update this week.

5. @MobileTone - I guess it’s the same demo that you’ve already got - there’s no lava to be seen. I wish you a speedy recovery!

   bike+transit van usually = death, so you were lucky really. hows the medication, anything with a kick?
   played the motorstorm demo, no lava so the same as before i would imagin, i was very dissapointed it seems as though they have gone backwards, it did not feel nearly as nice as the original, and is it me or does it look worse as well?
   half decent update though.

8. @manley - it looks dreadful when you boost! I know the background is supposed to go blurry but it’s just terrible. I hope it’s better when released.

11. @ above - no cast, just some torn ligaments in my shoulder and a hurt pride, i’m in tomorrow to have my jaw looked at, technically I hit the van i guess, well, call it knock for knock

    shame the MS demo isn’t the new one as that beta one was pretty poor considering the hype surrounding the game.

17. Get well soon, ‘tone.

    I bet that van driver was rushing home to download all the neat stuff from this week’s update.

    Hope you haven’t lost the use of your, erm, ‘gaming’ arm.

    Stick to bikes in “Burnout Paradise” & “Midnight Club: Los Angeles” for the next few months.

    Well, when I say ’stick to’ I don’t mean in a “Men Behaving Badly” tissue-to-the-side-of-Dorothy’s-face kind of ’stick’, obviously.

    Keep smiling buddy.

20. from the 2.5 firmware
    and another reason not to buy LBiPod.

    “You also authorise us [Sony] and our affiliated companies, without payment to you, to license, sell and otherwise commercially exploit your User Material”…

    or in normal terms,
    thanx for putting in hours of your time to create a level which creates a lot of money for Sony
    and in return for your effort,you get an agreement in the firmware

    F thexxxxxx U

21. hahaha… why did they release the same demo that got so much flak and changed so many peoples opinions of motorstorm to the negative to the general public?!

    The MS2 demo is so old and poor it will harm sales. They would have done better to not release a demo at all or at least release a much more up to date demo closer to launch.

    Just dont base your final purchasing desicion on the demo, wait for the reviews or maybe a better demo before deciding not to buy it.
