MotorStorm: Apocalypse is action all the way. It's packed full of collapsing skyscrapers and disintegrating bridges, with the driving experience built around turbo boosting, jumps and vehicular combat. But does turning your iPod up to max volume and listening to it for 6-8 hours automatically create a classic album you'll want to come back to again and again? Let's see what's underneath the rubble.
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣
Robert Workman (Prima Games): Sony experimented with its cloud-based PlayStation Now service over the past several months, but few people took advantage of it due to the high prices. After all, who wants to pay $40 to rent Earth Defense Force 2025 for 90 days when you can buy it on your PS3 for $20 at GameStop? That said, the company remedied this problem with the introduction of a new subscription model that kicks off next week. Whether you pay $19.99 a month or $44.99 for three months, there's more value offered with this program.
With that, over 100 games will be available at launch to choose from, with unlimited play for each of the titles (without extra fees). These include a number of obscure games and popular favorites. With that in mind, we have 10 suggestions for what you should play after signing up, so you can get the most from your seven-day trial.
I will be on board with this as soon as they can offer the completely lineup of specific franchises. I don't want to sign up to play Uncharted if I can't play parts 2 and 3. Likewise I don't want to play Killzone 3 when I haven't played 1 or 2.
Hmm... Only 3 are must plays in my opinion. But that's my opinion. Not the author's nor yours. Only mine.
Evolution Studios has been known for World Rally Chapionship and the Motorstorm series now Evolution Studios is creating the upcoming Driveclub game but will they ever return to the Motorstorm series?
I hope so, but I am glad they took a break from the series to make DriveClub. Hopefully they rotate between MotorStorm and DriveClub for making new installments
Gonna try DriveClub but Motorstorm is more my type of racer.
Hope it comes back.
The last one crashed and burnt in terms of sales and was no critical darling either. They have to make another one so not to leave the MotorStorm legacy forever tarnished.
I sure hope so!
Although MotorStorm Apocalypse didn't have a massive success(Sony fault!), it's the one I enjoyed the most.
Unfortunately, I think if Driveclub doesn't succeed, MotorStorm won't came back. Maybe Sony even close the studio.
do we have a US release date yet?
In my honest oppinion I think this game deserves more! Playing it for a week here in Europe and I believe this is the best of the series...
So flamboyant fanboys, you've got a lot of the exclusives you were praising this year and only Killzone3 and LBP2 have met your expectations (and not nearly as high as you touted it to be), all of the other (Yakuza, Hyperdimension Neptuna, PSheroes -lol- Motorstorm) have been, uhm, not so great.. do you realise that overhyping an unreleased game and bashing the competition for stupid brand loyality just makes you look stupid?
So flamboyant fanboys, YOU, have a lot of exclusives. And who are YOU referring to. It's pretty obvious who the blatant retard here is. Motorstorm is a wonderful series. You wouldn't know as it's obvious you don't have a PS3. So again why are you here in this article?
I know that not everyone will agree with me, but I'm a little disappointed that they are taking the series in a dark direction. My son and I had a blast playing the first two, but I'm not going to let him play this one.
