Trailer: MotorStorm: Apocalypse 3D

Apocalyptic car racing – in 3D – bring it on! Evolution Studios presents MotorStorm: Apocalypse 3D will be released April 12, 2011 and we can’t wait to get our hands on this one, here’s why..

Many new vehicles in this game – including supercars, superbikes, muscle cars and even choppers. Say goodbye to those natural environments that we’ve come to associate with the MotorStorm series and say hello to “The City” – the first urban setting for a MotorStorm game.

Players race through the tracks which change in real-time (bridges can buckle, buildings can collapse and rifts open up beneath the vehicles). Vehicles can be customized with graphics and a host of additional parts. Players can also create and design their own game rules for online tournaments. A new gameplay element is the addition of “air cooling” one’s boost. Similar to driving through cool water in Pacific Rift would speed up the rate of boost cooling, releasing the accelerator over a large jump will also cause the boost temperature gauge to drop quicker.

A new challenge in Apocalypse are the introduction of people who will try to interfere in the event. The city houses two factions who will vie for survival. These groups will try to impede the progress of the racers. They will loot from broken buildings, break into fights on the streets, steal cars and try to slam racers off the road, and attack racers with their firearms. A private military company will attempt to enforce order and their involvement will also create obstacles for racers to overcome (such as an attack helicopter firing missiles onto the track).
