MotorStorm: Pacific Rift (released as MotorStorm II in Japan) is the sequel to MotorStorm and is followed by MotorStorm: Apocalypse. It was announced by Sony after their acquisition of Evolution Studios and has sold over one million copies as of 9 December 2008. As of 1 October 2012, the online servers for the game have been permanently shut down.

MotorStorm: 3D Rift is a 3D mini re-release of Pacific Rift, containing 10 tracks as well as a selection of off-road vehicles from Pacific Rift. It is only single-player and has no trophies. The game was released on the PlayStation Network on 24 August 2010.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

CPU configuration

Setting	Option	Notes
SPU xfloat accuracy	Relaxed	No known issues, might improve performance
SPU block size	Mega	Slight performance improvement

GPU configuration

Setting	Option	Notes
Anisotropic filter	16x	Greatly improves texture quality, no issues
Anti-aliasing	Disabled	Improves performance significantly when using Resolution Scaling. Makes grass (only on razorback level) look pixelated
Resolution scale threshold	256x256	(Mostly) Fixes pixelated bloom when using resolution scaling
Write color buffers	On	Fixes excessively bright bloom

Advanced configuration

Setting	Option	Notes
Read color buffers	On	Fixes visual issues with surfaces e.g mud
Driver wake-up delay	50	Fixes crashes caused by RSX desyncs, increase to 100 if still occurring.

Known Issues

In certain cases of resolution scaling, lag on starts of races will be seen, this can be fixed by turning off dynamic resolution scaling in patches

Split Screen

Split screen works; however, the performance is much lower than that of single player. The performance is also HEAVILY impacted by resolution scaling. Most users should stick with 100% or 125% scaling. Even at 100% (720p), 60FPS is very difficult to reach, so we recommend sticking with the game's default 30fps for split screen.
