MotorStorm 2 officially named

Posted on May 3rd, 2008 at 11:24 EDT

The sequel to the hit offroad racer is now officially titled as MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Although this had been speculated for quite some time over the last couple of months, there was never an official announcement from the guys over at Evolution Studios (it was rumored to be MotorStorm: Pacifica). The title isn't all that shocking considering the entire environment for the sequel is set on an island in the Pacific and will feature lush forest races.

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is scheduled for release later this year and has finally implemented the splitscreen capabilities for up to 4-players at a time. With the original title moving over three million copies worldwide, we expect the sequel to do just as well if not significantly better than its predecessor.

As more information is released around this down-and-dirty racer, we'll keep you up to date.

Motorstorm 2: Pacific Rift sounds better, and new comers wont get mixed up with what one is the first one. If you get me.

what they need is that they should fill up 50gb of the BluRay too.  First one I heard was MGS4. Next one was Resistance 2. I sure hope they fill this one up too.

Actually, the rumored name was MotorStorm: Pacifica. Pacific Rift is the official name.

Hopefully, it will have custom soundtrax!

it sold over 3 million, because it was bundled with the ps3 =P

anyways, I think it woulda been cool to call it  Motorstorm: Pacific Hit/heights/Hiss/something that starts with an H.

 

just so it's acronym can be MPH lol.

Split screen will be brilliant in this game. Its a shame they didn't include it in Motorstorm (1)

A pretty creative title compared to the dull "Motorstorm 2" title.

I had actually seen this about 4 days ago just surfing around.  I loved the first one myself, even with all its flaws, and I intend to pick this one up on the release day.

@RyuStrife:  50GB discs are BAD for your console.  The games are fine, but the read times are guaranteed a decent sized install on your hard drive.  I don't mind with my 250GB HDD but the people who don't upgrade are going to have a hard time dealing with all these installs.
