Sony did not surprise anyone when announcing MotorStorm Apocalypse, the third installment in the franchise on Playstation 3, but such news sure will please a great number of players. You can count on us for doing everything in our power to get you some high quality footage next week at E3, so stay tuned!

edit : oh, and i can't wait...lol. heard you'll be racing down the side of a falling skyscraper in one track. sounds crazy as hell.
Wait for e3 footage, i'll bet there will be plenty.
this is sounding freaking awesome.
Not a bad thing though.
the warring factions in the city sounds cool too, with gangs fighting each other for "turf" and shooing at you for the hell of it on foot and in heli's.
if this goes to plan it could be cranking the intensity up to 11...in which case i'll probably have a stroke.
Because it has elements of Split/Second I'm interested. Before, I never liked Motorstorm. Don't know why, just didn't appeal to me.
I'm just really worried all this concrete might fuck up the formula, not sure how they'll use all the fun physics with so much city street to burn? But maybe it's just one setting/track of the City and we will have other dirt tracks as well as this just doesn't seem like what Motorstorm does best.
Anyhow, I love this game's graphics engine and track designs so I'm still holding out hope this turns out as fun as the first two.
I don't really like the sound of Split/Second-esque sensationalist bullshit in my racers because that gets old faster than Fatalities, but the city ruins things sounds interesting from a track characteristics standpoint and is pretty in line with their choices of environments in the past.
It's in harsh contrast to its in turn harsh naturalistic environments that were kinda the staple of the series previously, but I'm assuming they both wanted a more EXXXTREME looking thing for clicks and had genuine trouble figuring out where to take it next. Pacific Rift was utter genious, variety/consistent scenery wise, and barring making a PS3 version of the snowy Arctic Edge or setting it ON THE MOOOOON or something, "urban jungle" seems a good choice.
I hope they can still sprinkle it with vistas, I think that's a pretty important fingerprint of the series too. Those glimpses of beauty in these insanely perilous environments.
