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 on the razorback level look pixelated.
Resolution scale threshold 256 x 256 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 with resolution scaling lag at the start of races can be seen. This can be fixed by using the dynamic resolution scaling patch.
The Caldera Ridge Volcanic DLC track can have serious performance issues with resolution scaling higher than 100% in certain cases, which can also be fixed by disabling dynamic resolution scaling.

Special Notes

Split Screen

Works. However, the performance is much lower than that of single-player and is heavily impacted by resolution scaling. Most users should stick with 100% or 125% scaling. Even at 100% (720p) 60 FPS is very difficult to reach, so we don't recommend the 60FPS+ patches for split screen.

Render Resolution on Real Hardware

(This is for your information only, don't set this resolution on RPCS3.) This is the internal resolution the game runs at on console.

Game Version RPCS3 Version Connects? Create/Join lobbies? Match with others? Online features working? Requires custom servers? Notes
1.03 Yes Yes Yes No Private servers are available from both PSORG (DNS: 5.161.41.41) and PSRewired (DNS: 67.222.156.250).
Change the DNS Setting to connect to whichever server you want. PSORG requires you to enable the custom RPCS3 patch via our patch manager as SVO does not work.
