MotorStorm sequel drops October 28, GameStop exclusive pre-order demo photo

Sony has announced that the upcoming tropical-island-themed MotorStorm Pacific Rift will be hitting stores on October 28.

Looking to play it a bit early? It looks like pre-ordering the title at GameStop will net you a "retailer-exclusive" demo, so get your five dollars warmed up; the demo will feature split-screen multiplayer as well as a race against the computer. Sony are also hinting at other pre-order programs that will be announced in the coming weeks, so there's a chance you won't have to step foot into a GameStop store afterall. 

Pacific Rift will feature full trophy support for those of you in to that kind of thing. We wonder if the game will have any connectivity with the rumored PlayStation Portable MotorStorm ... 

Interesting to note is the revealed box art -- check out the new fancy "Only On PlayStation" header. Well, I guess we can squash those Wii port rumors before they start, right?

Not interested, the first one suffered from massive overhype. It was an incomplete game that had to be fleshed out with dlc pack after dlc pack before it felt whole.

A free demo would allow me to generate in my mind if I want to buy this game or not as I agree with what ArrestedDeveloper said.

Great timing on the date there, week after LittleBigPlanet, same week as Fallout 3, week before Resistance 2. I wasn't planning on buy it before, and I'm definitely not buying it now.

Although, split screen is very welcome, it was missing from the first game.

I got the demo today from Qore, the wife and I had a blast in split screen. Even though it's only one track, the jungles definitely add a lot of variety to the visuals, and the monster truck is a nice addition. It's all the fun from the first, but now with double the tracks and up to 4 people able to play on the same TV.....what's not to love?!?! Will get for sure!
