Evolution Studios Reveal New MotorStorm Apocalypse Information And Release New Trailer

Evolution Studios have released a new gameplay video for MotorStorm Apocalypse and revealed new information about the game. the gameplay video is taken from the Skyline Track and also shows off a new vehicle, the Superbike.



Evolution Studios held an event for the game and talk about all the reveals and news about MotorStorm Apocalypse:

• Player customization: Perks enable full visual customisation and performance customization in the form of perks are both new features.
• Playable demo: A demo is being planned for 2011.
• Stereoscopic 3D: We showed Skyline in stereoscopic 3D, and pretty much everyone agreed with me that it sets the benchmark for 3D gaming. I hope you get to experience it in this way!
• Exclusive content: PSN avatars, dynamic themes, pre-order and PlayStation Plus exclusives are all planned and we’ll have specifics to share very soon.
• New Photo Mode: We’ve got a sophisticated Photo Mode that can capture gameplay images in ultra-high resolutions, as well as some easy-to-use tools that allow for fantastic post-effects – all of the Skyline screenshots were taken using Photo Mode mid-race!
• Post-release content: We have big ambitions to continue support for the game after it releases, and to develop some of the concepts we haven’t been able to find time for in development, including a special island track we’re hoping to be able to give away for free.
• New taunts and gestures: All previous versions of MotorStorm featured the ability to taunt other riders. This time, we have a set of insanely flamboyant gestures guaranteed to get your opponents fuming.
• New videos: The videos, including a series of developer diaries , will be launched on the PlayStation.Blog and PSN in the next couple of weeks.
• Release date: We don’t have a final global release date, but are scheduled to launch in Spring 2011.

Sony Announce MotorStorm Apocalypse Is Coming Exclusively To The PS3 In 2011

Sony has revealed MotorStorm Apocalypse is coming to the PS3 in early 2011. The game is set in a city, which has been modelled on the Bay Area of California, that at first appeared to be deserted after a earth quake but one the "Stormers" start racing they find out its not deserted and the earth quakes haven't finished.

MotorStorm games have a tradition of each track having many ways to complete the circuit. in MotorStorm Apocalypse, this has been taken a step further because any changes to the track in single player remain. for example, if a building collapses during a race, that building remains collapsed throughout the rest of the game, but when you go back to the track new routes would have been cleared.

The Multiplayer mode, Wrecknation, has also been improved and will feature:
* Sixteen player online multiplayer.
* Four player split-screen.
* Combinations of the two. Play with three friends in the living room against 12 more online.
* Massive vehicle customisation. Change vinyls, vehicle parts, vehicle shapes and more. Upload them to the community site and share them with others. They automatically work on all vehicle types, and include your PSN ID.
* Vehicle perks. Modify your handling, boosting and offensive abilities as you unlock new perks.
* A wealth of rankings to progess through online with associated rewards and recognition.
* Stacks of online rewards to earn and persistent progress giving the most determined and successful racers the status and recognition they deserve.
* Persistent matchmaking. Keep your party together throughout your gaming session.
* A Game Mode Creator. From a completely blank canvas you can design your own game rules and victory conditions, play them online, and incorporate them into tournaments.
