Motorstorm: Pacific Rift lead designer Nigel Kershaw’s told the 1UP show that too much importance is placed on whether or not target renders can be compared to final games. Although he seemed to be a little more annoyed than that.

The quote in full:

“We always do a render. Before you do a game, you do a test render that says, ‘This is the game we want to make, now let’s go make it.’ It’s just like writing a game design document. The end result might not look like the render that you did. Who gives a shit? If you’re 50, 60, 70, 80% to that line, then you’ve succeeded. But also, it’s not about the visuals. If you go back and look at that movie, it was about the interaction of the vehicles. It was about lots of vehicles racing together…all that stuff that we achieved….

“But it’s this thing that haunts you, that you didn’t match your target render…. Everybody makes such a big fucking deal of it. Who gives a shit? That’s how we make games. If people have got a problem with that, tough.”

Posting on the US PS Blog, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift director Nigel Kershaw has said the team at Evolution is to try to provide weekly DLC for the game – which launches in the US tomorrow – and that larger chunks of extra content are on the way next year.

“Once were all rested its back to the development bunker to finish off the DLC we have lined up for you guys in the coming months,” he said.

“We’ve got a pile of stuff waiting in the wings, and, you’ll be glad to know, a lot of it is free. We’re going to try and give you something new to play with every week, and we’ve also got some major packs in development that should be on the store after Christmas.”

We assume that means you’ll be paying for the bigger lumps.

More through there.

SCEE’s just confirmed that Motorstorm: Pacific Rift will release on November 7 in Europe, not November 14 as suggested by this now sketchy-looking list of dates.

The game’s going head to head with Gears of War 2, in case you’d forgotten. Another notable for the same day will be Tom Clancy’s EndWar. Looks as though it’s going to be an expensive time for you multi-genre buffs.

You can get the Motorstorm demo from PSN now.

Sony’s confirmed that MotorStorm Pacific Rift is to release on October 28 in America.

The news comes by way of the US PS Blog.

There’s been no confirmation of a European date as yet.

On Watch Impress. Looking good from where we’re standing. Pretty, even. Go see.

Game’s out at the end of the year.

Eurogamer TV’s posted up an exclusive visit to Motorstorm 2 developer Evolution Studios, complete with loads of interviews and in-game footage. Take a look.

According to this PS3F story, the official name for Motorstorm 2 will be Motorstorm: Pacific Rift. The game was previously thought to be called Motorstorm: Pacifica. Is this better or worse? We’re ambivalent. Either that or we don’t actually care.
