Developer Evolution Studios has revealed that it’s unsure what the studio will cobble together once MotorStorm: Apocalypse is done and dusted, though you can be sure of one thing – it’ll be something “that f****** blows you away.”
That’s according to game director Simon Barlow, who told the chaps at CVG that the studio is unsure how it’ll top its latest effort in the off-road racing franchise.
"How do you top [Motorstorm: Apocalypse]? I don’t have that answer, but then when we made Pacific Rift we were like, "How do you top that?" I didn’t have the answer at the time but the answer came about," said Barlow.
"Who knows what we’ll do next, whether it’s Motorstorm or something else? We will improve on this at some point. Maybe we’ll need to switch genres to improve on it, maybe this is the pinnacle of off-road racing, I don’t know, it remains to see what the players think of it.”
"Like I said before, all I want to do is make sure we keep creating kick-ass games," he continued. "If that’s another Motorstorm game or if that’s an entirely new game it doesn’t matter. What you can expect from Evolution Studios is just stuff that f****** blows you away."
"We’ve set our stall out now, I feel like the previous two games were building to this point; both in terms of visual spectacle but also in terms of playable experience."
As for the MotorStorm logo that popped up conspicuously on the reveal trailer for Sony’s much-hyped NGP, Barlow’s refused to be drawn into any speculation on the matter.
"I can’t comment on that, largely because I can’t comment on that – I actually don’t know anything about it," he said.
"Look, this game is just about to be released, we’re obviously going to start thinking about where we’re going next, the world is fairly open to us at the moment."
