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

The Caldera Ridge Volcanic DLC track can have serious performance issues when scaling higher than 100 in certain cases, which can also be fixed by disabling dynamic resolution scaling.

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.

Netplay testing

For the complete list of games tested with RPCN, please check the RPCN Compatibility List.
