The suggested “killer-app” for the Euro launch? MotorStorm

So saith SPOnG, but you know what? They saith with good reason as they got their mitts on a preview version of MotorStorm, and they liked what they saw, heard and felt. You know, sorta like the Japanese did, too. Man, that’s TWO racers that’s bumping the PS3 buzz up. Everyone’s probably got the need for speed right now.

About the biggest item in SPOnG’s wishlist for a PAL MotorStorm, is the presence of online multiplayer support, which is something sorely missing in Japan and which they say that the game took a hit for (not much of a hit, though, it seems). Looking at a few comments in other MotorStorm articles, and other sources, it seems the US and PAL-region versions would get online play. However, for the sake of our fellow gamers across the Pacific, we wonder if Evolution Studios could release a sort of downloadable package to enable online play for Japanese MotorStormers. Hey, nothing says “Storm” like a barrage of insults delivered in various Far Eastern and Romance languages!

A bit of idle thought there. Looks like SPOnG wants to heat the buzz up on this dirty racer. Maybe it’s got something to do with the European interest over rally racing.
