 Not content to be left on the sidelines with these game adding in new modes these days, Motorstorm is getting in on the act of expanding the game we bought all those months ago. The biggest addition is going to be the "Time Attack" mode, which is a mainstay of racing games and in all honesty should've been there in the first place. Pick a vehicle, pick a track, race against ghost times, yadda yadda yadda. All of the other major changes are of the "patch" variety but will help those who like playing online. Full press release after the jump.
MotorStorm for PS3 - New Downloadable Content Announced Show the world how fast you really are with the new MotorStorm Time Attack mode. Since its March 6th launch date, MotorStorm on the PLAYSTATION 3 has been solidified as the must have off-road action adventure title of the year. The wild and dirty ride continues with the availability of new downloadable content. Sony Computer Entertainment American along with the development team at Evolution Studios is delighted to announce the arrival of the Time Attack Mode, a new and cost-free automatic patch exclusively for MotorStorm on the PLAYSTATION 3. In Time Attack gamers can set their best times on each track with any available vehicle classes, then race against "ghost" laps in subsequent Time Attack races. Extra-fast times will see your ghost laps automatically uploaded to the global leader boards for others to compete with. Additionally, gamers will have the option of racing against up to seven ghosts at a time, beat their friends' efforts then let them have their ghost lap to prove it. Players can race against their own recorded ghost, take on the best runs recorded by other players (downloadable from the online leaderboards), or try and beat the expert ghosts from Evolution. The Time Attack mode will be unlocked with a free key that will be available on the PlayStation network store starting June 7th. Before installing, please load MotorStorm� from the Blu-Ray Disc, select "Online", an appropriate game universe, and install any updates if prompted. PLAYSTATION 3 gamers will also have access to new and improved additional downloadable games and content. These upgrades include: 1. Game List Improvement - 'Game Status' is now displayed with the game list in the online lobby making it easier to find a session where you'll be able to join and race promptly. 2. Host Identification - Within the game lobby the host is now clearly identified by a 'host' icon visible to all players and updated during host migration. 3. Boost Exploit - A bug involving the boost system that allowed a player to use boost in an exploitative manner has been resolved. 4. Buddy List Size - This has been updated to support up to 50 friends. 5. Text Cut-off - When playing in standard definition all messages will now display as intended. 6. Improved Stability Online - Online gameplay stability has been improved. 7. Audio issues - All known issues with 5.1 / 7.1 surround have been fixed. Audio issues within the front-end have been resolved. 8. Player Ranking - Players were found to be ranked incorrectly due to a bug. Because of this all online rankings will be reset and the ranking system should now function correctly. Evolution and Sony apologize for this measure but it will result in a fairer and more stable ranking system for all players. 9. Auto-Start - Races will be forced to start after a fixed countdown which should dramatically reduce the waiting times in lobbies. Hosts may delay this countdown up to three times. 10. Save Data Corruption - When quitting the game using the PS button it was possible to corrupt the save game data. This will no longer occur. 11. Lobby Information - Upcoming track and current lap details will be displayed in lobbies. 12. Vehicle Damage - When restarting a single player race during a death camera the damage wasn't always reset at the start of the next race. This has now been resolved. 13. Missing Audio - Audio effects were missing from the death camera, these have now been reinstated. 14. Name Tags - Added ability to switch the player name tags on / off during online races using a single button press (L1).
