MotorStorm Apocalypse gets Superbikes, photo mode, demo in 2011

by Mike Schramm on Dec 15th 2010 9:00PM

Sony has unleashed a barrage of MotorStorm Apocalypse news over on the official PlayStation blog. Revealed in a video posted after the break is a track called Skyline, which pits racers against each other while driving across the rooftops of a destroyed (and crumbling) city.

The clip also shows off a new Superbike vehicle, and lots more. The game will offer player customization in the form of both perks and cosmetic updates, a new photo mode for snapping shots mid-race, extensive PSN tie-in content including some PlayStation Plus exclusives and a new taunts / gestures system that will enable you to bug other riders online.

Sony also promises lots of DLC (including possibly a free island-themed track) and a series of developer diary videos in the weeks to come. The game's been given a launch target of Spring 2011, and a demo is planned for early next year. Is it weird that whenever we start to key in on a big Sony release, our biggest wonder is what KB will say about it?

Why are they talking about free DLC in a game that's not even out yet? How about just including it in the game?

@Hoops

Normally I would agree with you, but in this case, the DLC is free, so I'm not complaining! Now, if it were on-release day DLC that charges some 5 bucks, then yeah, we have a problem.

@Hoops
because it's not ready at launch....

@Hoops

Because you can advertise it better this way! ;)

Its all about marketing. Nowadays marketing is bigger and more important than the product itself... ;)

@Hoops You're right, they should totally delay a game for content that can be released later!

@Hoops 'cuz that's how this generation of gaming works. we're the ones who make it possible. end of story.

totally forgot about this game. Damnit Sony, calm down with the 2011 first party line line up on steroids. Its obliterating my finances.

@PrimetimePragz
Yeah, LBP 2, Infamous 2, KIllzone 3, and this all in the 1st half.

that bike really didnt look all that super to me

Thats the same dude from Enslaved, that's interesting.

At first I thought this looked silly, but then I did not.

Reminds me a little of Road Rash.

@jimjimbo111
I thought that too, but don't know why. Damn we need a new Road Rash.

Motorstorm was a great launch title, but I feel like its fallen behind the times. There is simply too much else coming out next year for me to consider this. Looks to be offering the same great racing thrills though, I wish I had the time and interest to keep up with the franchise.

@Cody H
Pacific Rift kicked Motorstorm right in the teeth from the epic levels of awesome. This looks to continue the tradition. Seriously, if you never gave the second Motorstorm a shot, you REALLY should.

If Harms Way has taught me anything, it's that Motorstorm needs turrets.

Looks good! I loved the first Motorstorm but for some reason I hardly played the second one. Maybe this one will change the balance once again.

Pacific Rift is still the best arcade racer out there, imo. Only Blur has managed to come even close to the fun factor playing online. Can't wait for this game!

*Is it weird that whenever we start to key in on a big Sony release, our biggest wonder is what KB will say about it?*

He's gonna be pretty busy in 2011, so many games coming out.

Looks like I'm finally buying Motorstorm!
