Motorstorm Remastered Collection

Motorstorm Remastered Collection is a video game compilation developed by XDev, Clever Beans and Creative Vault Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 in 2019. The compilation includes remasters of four entries in the series: Motorstorm, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge, and Motorstorm: Apocalypse. It was the first release without the involvement of Evolution Studios following the studio's closure in 2016.

Overview
Motorstorm Continental Collection is a remaster of the first four titles in the Motorstorm series: Motorstorm, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge, and Motorstorm: Apocalypse. Players compete in a series of off-road races using several different types of vehicles. Each class has their own strengths and weakness. For example, dirt bikes are capable of accelerating very fast and have high maneuverability, but they can easily be damaged and only reach mediocre top speeds. On the other hand, big rigs have high durability and medium speed, but low acceleration and poor handling. Each vehicle is equipped with nitrous boost, which can be used to catch up on opponents or pull away from them. The player must keep an eye on the boost meter located on the bottom right corner of the screen, which shows the engine’s temperature. If the boost is held for too long when the engine reaches its critical temperature, then it will explode.

Motorstorm Remastered Collection runs at 1080p on the PlayStation 4 and 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro, both at 60 frames per second. All of the DLC tracks and vehicles were made available from start in each game.

Development
Sony closed Evolution Studios on March 22, 2016 and acquired ownership of the Motorstorm intellectual property. In April 2016, Codemasters hired most of the Evolution staff as an additional development team and Sony agreed to allow the developers of Wipeout Omega Collection to develop a collection of the first four Motorstorm games.

The game was first revealed at the 2019 E3 event, and the first trailer of gameplay footage was shown at the 2019 Tokyo Game Show.

Reception
Motorstorm Remastered Collection has been generally well recieved by critics, with an average review score of 95 out of 100 on Metacritic and 96.4% on GameRankings. IGN gave the game a 9.7, praising its great set of titles, and calling the game ”a nice gift for long-time fans of the series.”
