Next generation?

Evolution Studios may have faced a torrid time with the launch of MotorStorm: Apocalypse last year, but that’s not stopped the developer from dusting itself off and looking to the future. The Runcorn-based studio is currently hiring for its next project which, if two job listings are to be believed, is a new entry in the off-road...

Shove it

If you’ve (somehow) already managed to clear MotorStorm RC’s lengthy campaign, then you might be excited to learn that the game’s set to get its first DLC pack tomorrow. The Pro-AM festival includes 16 new events set across four circuits, each designed around a skate-park theme. The PR reads: Get ready for huge ramps, banked corners...

Vroooom

Spoilers: MotorStorm RC is amazing. It’s not often those of us in Europe get special treatment, but when it comes to Evolution Studios’ new cross-platform RC racer we’ve been treated like Kings. That is to say we’ve been up since last night cursing the fact that we can’t beat any of our PSN rivals' high scores. Grrrr. Still, the...

Micro-transaction

Sony left Nintendo sputtering in the dust when it announced the price points of first party download-only PlayStation Network titles for PS Vita last week. Most surprising was MotorStorm RC's emergence as the cheapest in the pack at just £4.79. Don't associate that price with a lack of content, though. MotorStorm RC contains 16...

Evolution inspired by Autolog

MotorStorm RC’s heavily publicised cross-platform compatibility might not be quite what we had in mind when the game was first announced, but the title’s still shaping up to be a delightful downloadable treat. Nothing evidences that better than this brand new trailer, which shows off the game’s Playground – a...

Get to grips with the little guys

Vita won't be short on racing games at launch, but Evolution Studios' MotorStorm RC is doing something a bit different, downsizing the off-road series into remote-controlled cars. We recently got to speak to game director Paul Rustchynsky about cross-platform play, pricing and why Evolution made a mini MotorStorm...

No Vita-PS3 head-to-head

The much-vaunted cross-platform play between PlayStation 3 and PS Vita features in MotorStorm RC, Evolution Studios' first handheld outing, but you can't race the two games against each other. We recently spoke to MotorStorm RC game director Paul Rustchynsky about the upcoming racer where he confirmed the PS3 and Vita owners...

MotorStorm: Apocalypse's bad fortune is well documented

Not only did the brilliant post-apocalyptic racer have to contend with a real-world disaster, but it also launched during the worst of the PlayStation Network outage earlier in the year. Such a run of bad luck would have finished off most other developers, and for a while Evolution Studios' boss Matt Southern suspected the worst. But following..

New details emerge

Yesterday we brought you news that a new MotorStorm title was screeching its way onto Vita and today we’ve got the scoop on what we’ll be seeing in this exciting new entry to the series. Where the latest instalment in the series, MotorStorm: Apocalypse went bigger than ever, MotorStorm RC does the exact opposite and makes the...

As speculated, Evolution Studios has lifted the lid on MotorStorm RC for PlayStation Network and PlayStation Vita

According our buddies over at TheSixthAxis, Sony is preparing to make a MotorStorm Vita related announcement at a swanky soirée in London tonight

The site points to inside whispers and the Twitter account of Evolution developer Paul Rustchynsky, who's been cheekily dropping hints about making a "special guest appearance" at the event all day. MotorStorm: Arctic Edge proved a big hit when..

MotorStorm: Apocalypse had one of the most troubled launches we've ever had the misfortune to witness, but you can't fault developer Evolution Studio's commitment to ensuring the game stays populated and fresh

Talk about bad luck: MotorStorm Apocalypse is a fantastic game that's been kicked while its down time after time again

First the release was delayed worldwide after the Japanese earthquake. Then it released with no marketing right in the middle of the PlayStation Network outage in North America. Now it's been outright cancelled in Japan. The team must feel sick. It's hard to argue with the game's..

We've been playing MotorStorm: Apocalypse for what feels like an eternity now

We got the game days before the disaster in Japan, which caused both the European and North American versions to be delayed. The game is now available in Europe, but Americans still have a few weeks to wait. At least the game now has an official date though, as Sony's confirmed that May 3rd is the day you'll need to mark..

MotorStorm: Apocalypse's top-bod, Matt Southern, has confirmed in a Tweet that Evolution's bonkers off-road racer will be netting steering wheel support in an upcoming patch

“Am I allowed to say MotorStorm: Apocalypse is going to have a free update to support Logitech wheels, and is truly amazing? No? Oops,” he said. Hint: he was totally allowed to say that. [Have an href TSA]

After a brief delay due to the disaster in Japan, Sony's slapped a March 31st release date on MotorStorm: Apocalypse in the UK

That's next Thursday to be specific. The game was originally due out last Friday. We had our review locked and ready to go, but decided to pull it in order to better inform you around the game's release date. Guess you'll be reading our impressions sometime next week, then..

Despite the US launch not expected until April 12th, Sony has decided to delay the release of MotorStorm: Apocalypse in the region

The game has now been delayed worldwide. Presumably Sony will wait until the situation in Japan calms before giving the title a new date. It'll probably get a worldwide launch later in the Summer.

Sony's announced that it has temporarily delayed the UK release of MotorStorm: Apocalypse following the events in Japan

The game — which sees players race through a series of natural disasters — was due out this Friday. "Although we have shipped the game into the channel last week, given that we are able to do so, we have chosen to postpone the launch in the UK," an SCEUK..
