MotorStorm Apocalypse Video Interview and E3 Trailer

43 2

With so many titles shown at yesterday’s press conference, we didn’t have time to do a deep dive into every last one. But here’s one that we announced last month which I think you’ll want to see more of: MotorStorm Apocalypse. Before jetting across “the pond” to E3, SCEE‘s intrepid blog-type-person scored an interview with the devs of what is shaping up to be the best MotorStorm game yet.

It felt appropriate seeing MotorStorm Apocalypse in London’s Fabric nightclub. With hard dance music throbbing out of the cutting-edge sound system and a selection of journalists seated on the vibrating dance floor, we were presented with the third MotorStorm festival on PlayStation 3.

The premise this time around, Evolution Studios’ Matt Southern explains to us in this video interview, is urban off-road racing. This is not a post-apocalyptic city; you’re there during the apocalypse and every second of every race you’re bombarded with earthquakes, explosions and other environmental madness.

For sheer lunatic ambition the team at Evolution Studios are hard to beat and with MotorStorm Apocalypse they seem to have outdone themselves. Quite simply, you’re racing through a city as the world ends around you.

  • Still does not bring OtherOS back.

  • Looks F’in amazing can’t wait! You guys at Evolution are doing a great job keep it up!

  • MairusuPawa, get over that, it was taken away because of some stupid hackers who like to ruin everything for the rest of us.

    anyway i really liked the first 3 Motorstorms and i really like what there doing in this one, Jeff i hope you can keep these Motorstorm info coming, oh and the only disappointment of E3 so far is that Resistance 3 was not announce, i think overall Microsoft lost this E3 and Nintendo really came back with a hard to top show but i think Sony won especially with Sweet tooth at the end :)

  • @mairusupawa
    That has absolutely nothing to do with this post…

    As for Motorstorm, looks very cool!

  • GuitarrassDeAmor

    Cannot wait.

  • I can’t wait for this game because I have been a huge Motorstorm fan. I really like how the online aspect of the game is taking shape.

  • evolution studios ftw lunatics unite!

  • how long before we get a playable demo?

  • I hope they make the gameplay and controls more like the First MotorStorm. I still like the Second game, but love the feel of the controls on the original.

  • you only want other os so you can pirate. hush.

  • Sweeeet!

  • This game is really getting me psyched.

  • Looks really good. Was shocked when I didn’t see it during the press conference.

    …and seriously people, other OS isn’t going to come back, no matter how much you whine about it, just move on/forget about it…geez.

  • Jeff,

    First and foremost thanks for covering E3 press conference. Thanks to you guys I was able to keep track of the announcements on the live blog.

    Now for Motorstorm. This looks amazing and is definitely day 1!

    • Thanks for saying so. We’ll be pumping out interviews and more for you all week, and into the next one.

  • nice!!!! this is gonna be a good one i have all but the ice tundra or what ever it is my fav tht has been made is pacific rift i cant wait till this one comes out

  • My 1 hope is that they don’t make this as hard as Pacific Rift. The difficulty level turned me off and some of the tracks were out right unfair to anything other then monster trucks and the semi class.

  • You know, I never cared for racing MP, I bought all of the motorstorms but only went online a few times, I bought them for t he SP….

    I have a bad feeling about this one…

  • Just wondering when the Sony press conference is going up on the PS store…I know it’s off topic but i’d like to know.

    Otherwise this looks like the ultimate Motorstorm title. Especially the persistent damage staying in levels and the split screen online multiplayer and customization and perks. I already have fun playing pacific rift with friends but this will be insane fun!!

  • looking very good. wish this was demoed at the e3 presser yesterday

  • @1

    Shut it… I hate people who have NO CLUE on the correct and proper channels to go through to get your voice heard. Placing your comment here in a post that has nothing to do with firmware updates or the console itself and what has been removed is pointless.

    GROW UP…Express your opinions to the proper people in a professional manner and you will be surprised on how much further your words will go.

  • Ok, this looks more like it, although I have a few issues. One if the soundtrack which, based on this song, doesn’t seem that great, and two, that running animation looked awful.

  • He said CHOPPERS.

    D:

  • QUESTION……….

    Is there going to be a blog-post before the Canadian Video Store goes live?
    They just said it is coming July 1st with no detail.

  • looks good!

  • Looks good will be buying this. To bad you didnt show off at E3.

  • Hey Jeff, any chance we can get these videos in 3D on PSN? I’m at work, so if you guys did that today, my bad.

    But if not, those of us early-adopters would love to see the killzone footage in 3D at home.

    Also, will we ever see Motorstorm Pacific in 3D outside of just a demo? (like Wipeout updated the entire game?)

  • Wow, this is too awesome! Can we expect working headlight this time?

  • This looks awesome I can’t wait. I loved Pacific Rift and I’m sure I’ll love this one too, probably even more so because it looks fantastic.

  • This will be crazy good!

  • Looks good, i hope that its easyer to turnthan in pacific, and i think it will be because there isnt so much dirt mud and other things. I also hope that its not boring to have only one gind enviroment

  • Love the accents. I know I’m a linguist, but I can’t tell any difference between the interviewer and Harry Potter’s accents. Is HP’s accent really THAT bad? Or did I hear/remember wrong?

    On topic, bless LittleBigPlanet for its inception and revolutionizing of the gaming universe. EVERYTHING has a create and share aspect now! Hahahaha! (Hyperbole, yes, but it’s definitely catching on.)

  • I’m SUPER excited for Motorstorm Apocalypse!

    I’m a massive Motorstorm fan! I loved the first one, loved Pacific Rift even more, I play Arctic Edge on my PSP Go like none other, and now Apocalypse is gonna dominate my PS3!

    =P

  • I liked the idea on paper but now… does not look or feel like Motorstorm.

    Or just the trailer wasn´t thaaaaat good.

  • personally, im liking the soundtrack… does anyone know the name of this song though? in the trailer

  • primetimekilla21

    I cant wait for this game, big fan of the first two and this looks even better.

  • I’m a fan of the first Motorstorm but I’m not sold on this sequel yet.

    I never bought Pacific Rift, I really disliked some of the track design. The lava elements in particular turned me off, along with the big open areas of dark brown dirt. The tracks didn’t really seem like they could exist outside of a game, unlike the relatively realistic and down-to-earth tracks in MS1.

    Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’d much like to see a return to semi-realism in Motorstorm. The coolest things about the original for me where the menu cutscenes showing the sweet festival and the great helicopter footage of the monument valley area. When I heard that Pacific Rift would feature a great deal more variety I was initially excited but I was sad to learn that this variety came at the expense of realism and believability.

    Maybe the story aspect will be what sells me on Apocalypse, as the premise of Motorstorm (a traveling race festival) is inherently super cool.

  • LUNATICS UNITE!!

  • lol I love how you can run over bystanders now! BADA**!!!! :D

  • man i played it in glorious 3D , AMAZING , i think Motorstorm Apocalypse and Killzone 3 were the 2 most impressive games on sony booths , but whats up with only 2 booths for the game? , game is great!!!!!

  • I cant believe you guys at Sony didn’t give this game its own shine @ E3 this year? This series is the best off road experience on any platform, and the 3 seconds of footage during the press conference had me screaming in my seat like a little girl? That makes about as much sense as you guys @ Sony expecting to buy PSN+ without it even having cross game chat. Yall need to get your priorities straight. Hire some people that actually wanna give the ps3 the shine it deserves.

  • Oh sorry for double posting guys, just wondering, is there gonna be a cockpit view this time around? There really should be an edit button btw.

  • Never played any of the series…but definitely will pick this up. The gameplay and destruction enviormemt looks amazing. Plus it’s taking place in my home town SF bay area!!!

  • When will the demo come out to play and will your car explode if you use to much boost?
