Lots More

Directly from the PlayStation Blog: “We’ve got a lot more to reveal too; things like replacing loading screens with cut-scenes that finally reveal what it’s like to be a part of the MotorStorm subculture, to changes to handling and boosting, to the five completely new vehicle classes making their way to this festival.

The end of the world…is just the beginning.”

What thing I can say for sure: Motorstorm: Apocalypse is looking every bit as awesome as it sounds. Check out the screens below!

There are 13 vehicle classes in total, and each of them has strengths and weaknesses. 3 of them are motorcycles (dirt Bike, Chopper and Superbike). The other 10 classes are 4-wheeled vehicles: ATV, Buggy, Supermini, Rally Car, Musclecar, Supercar, Racing Truck, Mudplugger, Big Rig and Monster Truck.

All of the vehicles can race together competitively because all MotorStorm tracks are carefully designed to offer as balanced a playing field as possible, with multiple routes for vehicles to take advantage of. It’s not an easy task to pull this off, especially when real-time earthquakes are added to the mix, but the design team at Evolution Studios has a lot of experience doing this, and they do it very well.

As for bikes being crushed if hit by a bigger vehicle, it is more than likely (depending on speed and angle of collision, etc.).
On a bike you should really avoid going toe-to-toe with anything bigger than an ATV; take advantage of being nimble and quick to exploit the higher and narrower routes instead!

Sony's confirmed release dates for Motorstorm: Apocalypse, alongside the release of the racer's EU and US box arts.

The third PS3 instalment will be released in Europe on March 16, the platform holder's announced, followed by North America on April 12.

Evolution Studios previously confirmed that a demo will also be released in a vaguely dated "2011", although we'd like to think it'll be out before the game and not the other way around as too many have done this generation.

Dat zal wel vanwege MLB 11: The Show zijn. Een Sony exclusive (PSP/PS2/PS3) die alleen in de VS wordt uitgebracht, in maart. Het zijn allebei 'arcade' games, dus Sony wil natuurlijk niet dat ze met elkaar concurreren.

Shooters worden toch ook niets steeds uitgesteld omdat er een paar gekke hoofdoekjes nog steeds met speelgoed geweertjes aan het prutsen zijn in het Midden-Oosten?

Rare vergelijking omdat mensen in het Midden-Oosten geen games spelen, die hebben huizen van stenen met vaak geen eens stroom.
