Pacific Rift was arguably the BEST in the series IMHO in terms of graphics, setting, soundtrack, content, and multiplayer. This game right here would look absolutely AMAZING at 4K60 FPS or at the very least 1080P60 FPS. I remember playing some multiplayer games here. This game was very fun but also challenging once you started getting up there in the end game races, I remember there was this one race where all of your Opps were in monster trucks, and you were forced to use a motorcycle (absolute crazy work there lmao). This game on GOG if the multiplayer servers were somehow revived would absolutely slap for the motor storm community and newcomers who have never played these games before.
I would play this game every chance I got when I was a kid. I would play this game all the time by myself or with my brother. This game is literally my childhood.
Easily one of the best and underrated offroad racing games Sony and Evolution studios ever produced. The tracks, the Hawaiian scenery, and iconic vehicles all make this game a masterpiece that was adored by fans but not by Sony. If Sony remastered this or any game in the series, i bet you a million dollars it would give Gran Turismo a run for its money. Let alone Concord 😭
As close to an objective improvement as a sequel can get. The core identity of Motorstorm is kept completely intact, even with an entirely new locale, more nuanced boost mechanics and the inclusion of an additional vehicle class.
Perhaps the most underappreciated addition this game brought, however, was being able to customize the entire field of racers for each race in single player. 1 bike versus 15 big rigs on a track that favours the latter was but the tip of the iceberg in experimentation. There were so many different scenarios you could create for fun, or to challenge yourself.
Handling was much improved over the original too, as well as split routes within the tracks, so every vehicle class has a reasonable chance of winning. A thumping licensed soundtrack and challenging AI cemented Pacific Rift as one of my fondest gaming memories, never mind racing games.
Sega Rally ChampionshipSega Rally Championship is a 1994 arcade racing game developed by AM5 on the Sega Model 2 board. The unique selling point of Sega Rally was the ability to drive on different surfaces (including asphalt, gravel and mud), with different friction properties, with the car's handling changing accordingly. As the first racing game to incorporate this feature, Sega Rally is considered to be one of the milestones in the evolution of the racing game genre.
The music for the arcade game was composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, while the Sega Saturn port's soundtrack was done by Naofumi Hataya and the Guitar were played by Joe Satriani.
