Sony has unleashed a barrage of <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/motorstorm-apocalypse"><em>MotorStorm Apocalypse</em></a> news over on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/12/15/motorstorm-apocalypse-skyline-video-demo-in-2011-dlc-plans-photo-mode-and-more/">the official PlayStation blog</a>. 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/19/kevin-butler-steals-cars-our-hearts-in-gran-turismo-5-commercia/">what KB will say about it</a>?<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/12/15/motorstorm-apocalypse-gets-superbikes-photo-mode-demo-in-2011/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>MotorStorm Apocalypse gets Superbikes, photo mode, demo in 2011</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/12/15/motorstorm-apocalypse-gets-superbikes-photo-mode-demo-in-2011/">MotorStorm Apocalypse gets Superbikes, photo mode, demo in 2011</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:00:00 EST.
