Motorstorm: Pacific Rift Update Live

Posted on 19. Feb, 2009 by Freak_c in News, Patches

So the update for the game has finally been released, its not a major update but start the game and then download the new version. This update fixes a few bugs and the boost exploit. Also the copyright has been removed off the save games so you can now back them up. Apparently the game would corrupt your save game every so often forcing you to delete and replay everything again. This too has been fixed in the update, although it never happened to me.

In the blog post there was also a hint at other dlc on the way soon, “which has some very cool new content in it, especially if you have a bit of a penchant for collecting cool stuff, or if you’re the type of person who enjoys PS3 Trophies.” Hmm perhaps a new vehicle or track pack, we will have to wait and see.

• Restrictions to the copying of Saved Data have been removed. This will make it possible for Saved Data to be backed up and then restored to the User Account it was created under (whether that’s on the same PLAYSTATION 3 or not).
• Changes to the way the game handles data. These changes will help to prevent Saved Data corruption.
• Visual notification of critical save progress has been added. A ‘MotorStorm Helmet’ icon will be displayed on-screen to warn users that critical data is being saved. This is in addition to the HDD Access light which currently flashes while the game makes a critical save.
• The glitch which enables a player to exploit the Boost system has been removed. The development team are working to identify which times have been achieved using this glitch; Action will be taken to ensure that the Leaderboards become genuinely competitive again.
• Time Attack times and Rank information will update correctly for all players. Any pending Time Attack times will begin to filter through systematically and the online Ranks should display correctly once the update is released.
• Additional fixes and improvements to gameplay. Many thanks for your feedback on these and other issues so far; we are still investigating the other issues that have been brought to our attention. News Source.
