Next gen. racing game on a $600 gaming console with 50 gig blue ray media that was supposed to expand the amount of quality and quantity of game content and it only comes with EIGHT tracks?!

I don't care what the game plays or looks like it shouldn't get higher than a 7/10 score for only havnig 8 tracks when games like PGR3 have a track creator that allows for countless combinations of tracks all  on a standard DVD9.

Let's face it Blue Ray for games as of this date is pointless.  Sony shoved their new media down its consumers throats by lying to them and telling them it would improve games, but so far has only shown some value in the movie industry.  How can anybody be a Sony fan right now?

I dont think blu-ray has anything to do with motorstorms lack of tracks.

The producer of Motorstorm Pete Smith has announced at the Game Developers Conference 2007 that in a matter of a couple of months we will be able to download content for Motorstorm. Content such as cars, tracks and offline split-screen multiplayer mode . However, he did say that some of the downloadable content will be free while other content will carry a price tag.
The inclusion of Split-screen is bound to make several people happy.

well i hope the maps are free, considering wipeout psp has free maps all the time...
more maps and offline split screen should be free since its lacking in the game itself... also some game modes, but i dont care about extra characters

This is one reason as to why Blu-Ray is partially unneeded: a lot of developers are too lazy to take advantage of it.

This is why I enjoy SW so much because there are always some really good comic relief in here!!!  The game is fun, alot of people enjoy it, the lobbies are full, yes there could have been more tracks but it still didn't tak away the fun factor!  Thanks for the afternoon laugh!

only an ejit fan boy could think that blu ray has anything to do with the number of tracks they could fit on motorstorm. it doesn't even make sense! bigger, better storage medium = less content? i mean come on. where is the logic in that? 8 tracks doesn't mean 8 races. your racew diferent parts of the tracks in deiferent combinations. all of which are reversable. 8 tracks will give a lot more gameplay than you'd think but i'd take quality over quantity any day. the fact of the matter is that motorstorm was supposed to be a launch game and they ended up being pressured and pushed to get the ga,e out. that's part of the reason why they've released new game modes as downloadable. anybody who thinks that 50 gig br discs are unnecesary and will never be used will eat their words.

Yeah, I'm thinking you are missing the point in it's entirety:

PRECISELY because blu-ray has more space, a limited amount of tracks (only eight!) is all the more insulting. Wasn't Blu-Ray supposed to give us a lot of extra game content? where is it? 8 tracks are hardly a justification for an expensive, unproven media format.

On the other hand, weren't cows mocking lemmings because of Microtransactions? So how is it any justification that they sold you what amounts to an unfinished game (downloadable game modes extra? it's almost as bad as EA's content)?.
