MotorStorm developer teasing reveal in 10 days?

[Blacksite]

Paul Rustchynsky, the game director at MotorStorm series developer Evolution Studios, has just teased an incoming announcement that will go live in 10 days.

He tweeted the following message today:



10 days, eh? You’ll notice that’s the same date as the rumored Feb. 20 reveal of the PlayStation 4, implying that Evolution Studios could very well be working on a next-gen MotorStorm title for the console.

This goes hand in hand with some recent tweets from Will Maiden, a game designer at Evolution Studios, who in addition to having a bio that mentions a “super secret project,” also stated that he was working on something ambitious and that employees around the studio were mentioning vague packages:







And then we have the Linkedin profile of Simon Barlow, the studio’s design director. According to the description of his current role, he’s working on an “unannounced title” that’s also a “first-party AAA exclusive.” Like, I dunno, a MotorStorm game?



By now, a lot of doubts have been eradicated: Evolution Studios is likely working on a next-gen title for the PS4, possibly another MotorStorm title, though we’re certainly ok with being surprised by a new IP if that ends up being the case. Of course, Paul could have just been referring to the Sony conference itself, which would certainly be a bit disappointing, though that still wouldn't negate the other bits of info we just mentioned.

Stay tuned for much more news on Evolution’s upcoming title. Any suggestions or wishes on what it’ll be about? Let us know!

A new Motorstorm? Simply awesome.

February, 20th is going to be nuts.

These guys have a lot to prove in my eyes. Motorstorm to me was a complete flop of a series, that delivered nothing close to its initial promises.

Something other than Motorstorm please, or a racer period, unless its futuristic.

Will it look like it was suppose to look like on the PS3?

What were its initial promises? I'm assuming you're talking about gameplay and not the pre-rendered visuals of the E3 2005 trailer.

Hmm....... Interesting.

If there's two games I'd like to have on the PS4, it's the games of Eight Days and The Getaway that were put on hold for the PS3. I hope Sony eventually releases them one day, Eight Days especially. That game looked amazing.

Awesome news! Would be great to see Motorstorm at launch!

I don't really care about Eight Days but I'd like to see SCE London resume work on The Getaway 3, if they really did have something substantial.

I honestly think getaway 3 will see the light of day next gen. Just a hunch.

So would I. That would be awesome.

[ps3freak18]

I think with an announcement the day of the console reveal it will most likely be a launch title. Just speculation.

I agree. And the first Motorstorm was a launch title for PS3 so it would make sense.

[ps3freak18]

Motorstorm definitely made a name for itself this gen and hopefully that will continue next gen. They really are quality racing games. We all know those are few and far between these days.

Actually Motorstorm was delayed and was not released at launch. I remember replaying the demo for months.

edit: Looks like it came close to launch in Japan, about a month after launch, but the US got pushed back to March.

It was a launch title in Europe & AU/NZ, but yeah, that's because the PS3 came out in March not November ><

Yep thats for sure. I'm a huge fan of that series. Lunatics unite! lol

[snooper71]

I like the "overambitious" comment followed by the coders comment "we can make better with less work" Are we looking at some serious improvement with less work? That would mean better quality out of the games with a faster turn around time...? Maybe? Color me interested.

[Nitey]

Massively talented studio, so I'm looking forward to what they've been cooking up. It's a shame the last motorstorm game on PS3 flopped, though it was a fine game. Maybe they'll do something similar with a different name

[LastManDancing]

A new Motorstorm would be SICK. More like Pacific Rift, less like Apoc please.

Agreed, and please include lots of vehicle and environmental physics as well! I want to see every part of the car shatter when I crash...ON PURPOSE!

I am talking about the E3 2005 trailer, and inherently the physics (and thus expected gameplay) presented in that as well.

Guerilla in my eyes, at least somehow managed to get their art-style down to the point where it looked similar at a glance to their trailer.

Motorstorm never came close.

Yeah, I remember watching the 2005 E3 video and then seeing a demo at the 2006 GDC and thinking that is didn't look anything like the video from 2005...very disappointing...but in the end was still pretty fun!
