MotorStorm Pacific Rift crosses the finish line October 28th

Hi Everyone! I’m happy to announce the official release date for MotorStorm Pacific Rift is October 28th, 2008.

This time around, the MotorStorm races will take place on a tropical island set amongst the lush jungle, emerald lagoons and towering peaks in the Pacific Ocean. Why is this important? The original MotorStorm introduced us to some fantastic racing through the desert landscape of Monument Valley. Although we delivered some wild tracks and terrain, the desert is the desert. With the topical island setting, players will be able to experience a much broader range of environments and terrain.

As you already know, there are 8 vehicle classes to choose from, including the Monster Truck! For the first time, you and your friends will be able to race head-to-head in the new 4 player split-screen mode for some major racing mayhem. The 16 diverse multi-route tracks (double the amount from the first MotorStorm) feature real-time terrain deformation that ensures no two laps are the same. Did I mention Trophy support is included?

Head on over to GameStop and pre-order your copy today to receive the retailer-exclusive demo for MotorStorm Pacific Rift. Race against the computer or grab a buddy for some split-screen heart-pounding action on one of the exciting “Air” Tracks. More pre-order programs will be announced in the coming weeks.

Man, I can't wait for this game.....

Is that the real cover? Colour me unimpressed.

Glad of the split screen tho

Finally we're seeing more of "Only on Playstation".
And to add to that, this one is 100% worth that label. The game looks awesome, sleek, fast, badass. A good purchase for me this winter.

well, imo it's better than the EU cover.

either way, this game is going to be awesome.

I like the EU cover more.

For once I think the NA cover looks tons better. The EU cover is just a bit... weak.

The EU cover is better, just because it doesn't have those ugly 'only on PS3' and 'PS Netwerk' labels.

october is one busy busy month...

Those should be on every PS exclusive released anytime soon.

I want the EU date, if it is that week it will just be ridiculous, 2 days after LBP!

Sony will have their 3 biggest games coming out within 2 weeks of each other at this rate
