Man, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is STILL one of my all-time favorite racing games. If it ever got the HD treatment or just popped up as a port on the store, it'd be a day one purchase for me.

[@Ket11pett]

I have put in atleast 600 hours into Pacific Rift on my PS3 haha

[@SNOWDUDE13]

The most slept on and underrated racing game ever. Lost many day, nights and weekends with this gem. Also loved destroying the online community with my infamous pink dune buggy 😂

[@Fetidaf]

I’m pretty sure Split/Second or Fuel gets that title. Motorstorm isnt underrated at all.

[@Enders1]

​@@Fetidafexactly what i was thinking. motorstorm was successful

[@trailblazer8380]

Thus game gives me Fuel vibes. Definitely one of the best ps3 games I've played and had a HUGE map

Most slept game was driveclub

[@SNOWDUDE13]

@@dishameena-iq6sy agreed. But Motorstorm was first for that.

[@LunaticPrime]

This game was the reason I got a PS3, too. I was so addicted to it. And Pacific Rift. And the amazing thing about the music was that it sounded like it’s actually played through speakers in the canyons. They added some reverberating effect to it. Just sounded awesome. And it’s actually from 2006 so it turns 18 this year. It wasn’t even supposed to be a real game start. Just a graphics and physics demo of what the PS3 was capable of but people loved it so much that they turned it into an actual game.

[@RandomPerson-ob1hk]

Ooohhhh that's why lmao my grandma's 15 year old Toshiba makes it sound like garbage I thought it was the tvs fault entirely

[@Travis-guy-247]

They actually removed the reverb sound in a patch back in 2007-2008 I believe, after the Devil’s Weekend DLC. There is a glitch where you can get it back though, you simply have to mute Curve - Hell Above Water in the track list, then the reverb comes back. I only discovered it recently, and I thought my TV speakers had broken. I never knew the reverb used to be there for real until someone online told me about the patch.

[@LunaticPrime]

@@Travis-guy-247 I'm not sure if I had the DLC but in 2008 I started playing Pacific Rift anyway.

[@Mr.Mouse1234]

It was the atmosphere of the festival that got me. It seemed like a place I’d like to be at. The way the made the soundtrack sound live was incredible for the time.

[@toddthezondalover645]

This game and ProStreet nailed that aesthetic, and they were released about a year apart which I find ironic.

[@gwhit9281]

This was one of the first games I played as a kid back in the 2000s. Lots of great memories. Please make more content with this one!

For a game that's over 15 years old, the gameplay looks like a ton of fun! The vehicle damage and destruction looked impressive and fact you can punch riders off of bikes and ATVs is crazy ha ha! I love it! 👍

[@Smithers475]

Motorstorm was a great series. I never owned a Playstation console when I was younger but i did buy a PSP and bought Motorstorm Arctic Edge. Was a lot of fun.

[@kc.w1992]

I cant tell you how much I love this game. I love seeing someone who shares the passion I do for this game

[@_KOKOMO_]

one of my favorite games from the psp, I was blown away by how good it looked

[@davidinark]

28… My dude, I am nearly twice that. Way to make me feel old. Haha!

[@Neilogical]

I sound older than I am unfortunately 😂

[@shadlad91]

Lmao, yeah I was in high school when I started my " gaming career " with NES Rad Racer and Gouls and Ghost. 28 was a while back for me but I'm still gaming and young at heart. 4? years old physically but 28 mentally. 😁🤘

[@JonesySpeed]

I always loved smugglers run on ps2. It had decent damage for the time and different maps/biomes. Always loved sliding around on the frozen lakes.

[@EvaX3c]

absolute classic i remember playing that on phat CRT

[@ethangoesvroom]

I just bought a copy of smugglers run for my PS2 slim I recently picked up at a retro store. It indeed is a lot of fun!

[@bluntman484]

Damn I haven't heard that one in a while ❤

[@deathproneimages4930]

I'm old, I was 33 in 2007! lol I grew up with Spectrum's and then Amiga's, had Playstation's from the first one, I still have a PS3, but mostly play PC games like Beam and Forza 😊

[@GlockTuah1017]

INSTANTLY recognized the helmet in the thumbnail. This game was so so good. I remember I had the demo and probably had 100 hours played on that alone.

[@bushkush7406]

Destruction Derby 2 was my very first racing game it was truly a gem for the PlayStation

[@ethangoesvroom]

The entirety of the Motorstorm series is gold. I grew up mainly with Pacific rift and Apocalypse, later played Monument valley and Arctic Edge. They all are amazing and unique. I would explode into happiness if a remake or new game ever got announced. Like I'm not even joking, these games are literally my favorite of all time. Racing games just aren't the same anymore. And that is the reason I still to this day, boot up my copy of Motorstorm Pacific Rift on my PS3 and play for hours. Despite having played the game for 13 years, I never get tired of what the game offers. I recently actually bought a PS2 just so I could play the PS2 port of Arctic Edge, despite already owning it on the PSP. Motorstorm will be something I never walk away from and forget. It's tracks, music, vehicles, all are engraved in my memory forever. Lunatics Unite.

[@xXYannuschXx]

Yeah, the arcade racing genre is absolutely dead at this point.

[@smasherrr07]

I agree.

[@BangkokBeef]

Well they made a game called onrush a couple years ago that is incredibly similar to motorstorm but will never me nearly as good as any motorstorm game for sure

[@ethangoesvroom]

@@BangkokBeef I've played it, got the platinum trophy too. But the servers are sadly shut down now. At least we can enjoy the game ofline.

[@h12t4]

finally someone talks about motorstorm, great memories sucks its dead tho.

[@Aqua_ejaes]

I remember playing this back in the day when I was younger with my big brother we were playing on a split screen PS3 and it was a blast. good times

[@NoBullMarc]

Thank you SO much for playing me and my fathers favourite game, and I would love to see GT4, Burnout 3 or even the original Forza Motorsport!

[@notthatbad42]

This game might be older than me, but I really enjoy seeing these old racing games, for some reason. Please do more, they’re so fun!

[@caydenhesthaven5857]

Oh my god, this was my childhood. I absolutely adore these games, motor storm and motor storm pacific rift. This, paired with the offroading that I actually did with my pops growing up, created my absolutely love for off roading and desire to get into it. Lol, some of the music is so iconic and brings back so many memories. If anyone likes these types, I suggest going back to these, absolutely amazing!! Thank you for bringing it back Neil!

[@tylerwest9007]

This was the first ever racing game I played on PS3. And I had an absolute blast. Unfortunately, my old PS3 gave out so I couldnt use it, so I didn't see a need to keep any of my games. But omg, this game was awesome. I remember unlocking the big rig. I would literally go the wrong way and destroy everyone. I had so much fun. But I do remember some of the races being a little difficult. I loved the crash physics, the explosions. This game was and still the goat of PS3 games

[@nickwilton7582]

Neil you have to play driven to destruction (test drive eve) in some regions, it was the og ps2 destruction derby game and one of the few from the time that had good crash physics it's like a predecessor to wreckfest

[@clubvillain]

First games that my grandparents got me when the PS3 came out were MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, DiRT 1 and NFS: Pro Street, happy memories.

[@jacobkillingsworth9222]

Motorstorm is definitely one the most underrated racing series out there and I only ever played one of the games. Motorstorm Apocalypse was the one I had and the crashes made it hella fun but for me I always wanted some free roam in my racing games and I don’t remember it having any. Another great slept on game was Fuel, also hella fun with a huge free roam map

[@GlossyLatex]

this was my escape as i child, i've played every motorstorm game every chance i had when visited my dad for the weekends.

[@jacobdalton2049]

The ATV OffRoad Fury series was the entirety of my elementary and middle school years! It’s underrated af, and I’ve not seen that many videos of it on KZbin over the years. Physics in it were daaaamn good too

[@toddthezondalover645]

The second game I definitely played the earliest, then the first, never the third, but have the most time in 4. I love that game, and the build your way to the top aspect is awesome and sorely missed from current racing games.

[@jacobdalton2049]

2 and 3 are definitely the pinnacle imo. 1 was a classic with some bangers on the soundtrack, 2 narrowed it down but still kept it new and exciting. ATV 3, which I’d say I spent the most time with, was a mainstay in my life😂😂 I’d highly recommend it. The courses are more advanced, freestyle is more expansive, the AI is actually pretty Fukin good for what was 2006-2008 I believe, and they provide a decent challenge in the “story” mode. ATV 4, I played a little, but just freestyle and I just jammed to the soundtrack, which introduced me to Lamb of God and Audioslave🤘🤘🤘🤘 the story never really appealed to my preteen mind, but I’ll defo have to revisit it sometime😂 I always noticed to “championship; conquer to ATV Off-Road world!” Story aspect of 4 tho, and I felt like it was gonna click with some people🫵🏼😂😂 the PS2 really does have some unseen gems🥲 and another thing. Cheat codes. Genuine. Cheat. Codes.🥲🥲

[@noisy_boy2756]

Dude, I actually got the logo helmet tattoed in my arm! Nice to see another Motorstorm enjoyer

Bro I was JUST telling my wife that absolutely nobody talks about this game. This was the first game I got when I got my ps3 for xmas that year. So good

The nostalgia. 7:16 also that rock would always catch me off guard 🤣

[@md_vandenberg]

How about a PS2 launch game that seems to be all but forgotten: Smuggler's Run. At the time, it had some of the largest maps ever seen in a game, about 5 square miles. Bonkers.

[@wickEDwol7]

Man I used to play the pacific rift game. That game was honestly one of the greatest ps3 games ever

[@justinaikens09]

Pacific rift was pure chaos and i loved it. It always has been cemented in my childhood playing it as a kid with my sister. The music, explosions, crashes, graphics. It was amazing. I really hope he plays it.

[@ghostgaming6630]

I still remember playing this at my cousins house❤, man the good ole days😢

[@PaulTheFox1988]

Motorstorm and Motorstorm Pacific Rift were awesome fun, and I really want to get set up with either emulating the games, or get the PS3 set up again on the telly cause I loved the games

[@Hugo_002]

Please man, since you played this first Motorstorm, play Pacific Rift too, so nostalgic these games are to me as well, used to play a lot

Noooooo wayyyyy!!!!!! I haven’t seen this game since 2013 on my dad’s ps3!!!! I was only like 3 or 4 at the time i played it but I loved motorstorm. Truly nostalgic.

[@RheaStorm]

I remember seeing this game hooked up to a Ps3 when they launched and little me was enamored with it, look at the mud and water droplets hitting the screen, look at the awesome crash physics. It was just absolutely blowing my mind. I played the heck out of this whenever we did manage to get our own console and copy.

[@ldm125]

Awesome vid, and I'd love to see more. I have about 5 years on ya, and yeah this game was mind-blowing when it came out. My first racing game was Gran Turismo 2 and originally played that, I was certain nothing could ever look better... and then this happened, and I was there all over again.

[@acethehuskyhusky2758]

This franchise need a huge comeback omg forever one of the classics

[@Giova590]

This just brought me a good ol' flashback. I played this game once and forgot about it for over 13 years (didn't even know the game). It was great for sure!

[@easyrider788]

Remember when this came out. I was in Target and they had one of those demo setups. My dad stood there with me while I had my neck at a 90 degree angle to see the screen. So uncomfortable but I remember us going on and on about how realistic it looked. We thought it couldn't get better than that. And honestly, there are moments where I'm proven right. I miss those simple moments in life.

[@riittanugent8215]

PLEASE play more of this! This is one of the best games ever made

[@Fox_of_War]

I love MotorStorm so much, my cousins and I would play it so much. Both the first and second are amazing. The soundtrack was amazing as well. This video brings back so many memories.

[@hem7892]

thank you Neil for playing one of my most favorite game of my childhood ❤

[@lanedevore9293]

I played this game breaking my neck in Walmart for a solid year or so. Iykyk

[@OnyxAndMifits]

They need to remaster all of them because I grew up on these games back in elementary school. They were always my favorite games

[@iwanthorsepower]

this was actually my first ever racing gem cause my mom and who i thought was my dad had it for a long time my entire childhood and i would play it for hours on end not even knowing there was hundreds of other games, i honestly remember every party of the maps and cars

[@nightwingzero8905]

i'm 33 years old and i still remember this game, man I had a blast playing this thing.

[@dvwsonwvss3r666]

Tip 1: if you find a screen in game and pause your game, when you move your camera around, it moves in the screen as well. Tip 2: if I remember correctly, you can repeatedly press boost instead of holding it to use it more efficiently. And you kinda mentioned how different vehicles work better on different paths, you should do a video where you take the worst path the whole race and see if you can win

[@JZ3Racing18]

I'm 36 and seeing the main menu then the first track brought me back to when I first played it. I still have most of the tracks memorized. I even made My PSN icon be the motor storm logo when the game came out. So it's something that will stick with me until the end of time. And I do remember this game being hard at certain points. I know there was a race where you had to use mud diggers against big rigs, that took me days to beat, but it felt great finally winning the race bc it was the last gold I needed. Thank you for the memories, hoping to see about upload

[@SRodriguezProduction]

Man I remember back in 2007 when I got the PS3 I invited all my friends over to play MotorStorm and we were all blown away by the graphics. Solid game.

[@justincook9302]

You should play Downhill Domination! It’s on PS2 and it’s from the creators of twisted metal, and the company that now makes the new god of war games. It’s a downhill bmx battle game. It’s insane

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Yeah, and it had the original version of a Black Eyed Peas song that eventually wasn't so politically correct after a while, but I put the game on the level of SSX for downhill fun.

I would do the same thing! I had gotten an Xbox 360 and my friend got a PS3 and we would play Motorstorm and Battlefield 3 until we got sick 😂

[@OmegaHellHound543]

The fact that this game is more revolutionary and just downright amazing than any of the newer games really says something about the effort that the AAA game devs put into games now. Like, we haven’t really got anything much better than this, and this was almost 20 years ago.

[@Leatherface654]

This was the game I bought together with my PS3 when I picked it up! It's so amazing! Got so angry on the NPCs that defeated me!

[@kernziskibegody4241]

[@Metalshark100]

don't know why but i thought it was downhill domination for a second. that was one of the most craziest downhill couch race games i've ever played and will forever hold a place in my heart.

[@CutThroxt]

This game actually answers a question I’ve had for a long time. On the PS4 you get an array of free avatars that you can use for your PSN account, and the logo of this game was one of those avatars. I always thought it was just a cool design, but never knew if it was from a game or not. Now I know that it was from this one, and I can see why they included it. This game is awesome!

[@thestormartist186]

Oooh, look into Star Wars Battlefront 2, from 2005!

Im just now seeing this post. I love Motorstor series! So underrated, I feel. I still play this today. I wish I had friends around where I live who was into racers as I am.

I remember playing this game, it was the game that came with my limited edition PS3 that was capable of playing both Ps1 and PS2 games which was huge for me (25yr now) and my older brother of 4 years. So this was the first PS3 game I ever played. I was so heartbroken when that PS3 died…

[@RoadRageDudez]

Loved MotorStorm and all the games in the franchise. As a matter of fact, a group of people did end up reviving the servers for Monument Valley, Pacific Rift, and Apocalypse! There is a community of 'stormer's that are aplenty and pretty active. The community is still thriving. - Lunatics Unite

As soon as I get some some more PS3 controllers I’m playing this game again , buying them just for this game, this game brought me so much joy when I was a kid, anywhere from 5-10, I remember playing it again when I was grounded for a bad grade on my report card so I was grounded for a week during a holiday week so I was bored home alone for a while, so I ended up remembering that we had the PS3 in my moms tv stand, so when everyone was gone I hooked it up and played the game for a couple hours every day, brings back so many good memories
