MotorStorm: Apocalypse's bad fortune is well documented

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

News MotorStorm: Apocalypse Smashes Up North America on May 3rd
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...

News Everything But The Kitchen Sink In MotorStorm Apocalypse
Argh
Just inject it into our veins, already. It's telling that it takes Evolution Studios six-minutes to explain everything that's part of MotorStorm Apocalypse's Wreckreation mode. Long term MotorStorm fans will know what to expect from Wreckreation — quick race, online and local multiplayer, etc — but will be surprised by the amount of depth...
News Evolution Studios "Squeezing Everything Out Of The PS3" With MotorStorm: Apocalypse
When we first saw alpha-code of MotorStorm: Apocalypse, our jaw was close to the floor
It's amazing how "alpha" for some PlayStation developers is better than "finished" for others. Perhaps it's just indicative of the talent within Sony's first-party. Speaking at a London event this week, Evolution's Matt Southern revealed that...
We've said it once and we'll say it again: MotorStorm: Apocalypse is the best looking example of 3D in video games we've seen to date
It's incredible. To celebrate the game's stupidly good technology, SCEE's released a 3D trailer for the game. Unfortunately, as very few of us actually have access to 3D tech, the 2D trailer embedded is the one we'll...
News MotorStorm: Apocalypse Gets 16th March European Launch Date, US Made To Wait A Little While
We're jumping for joy here in the PushSquare office
MotorStorm: Apocalypse is undeniably one of our most anticipated games of 2011, literally causing our jaws to drop when we experienced it for the first time in 3D. Seeing the game get a March 16th release date in Europe has caused much jubilation and celebration. So much so, we might even crack...
Around this time last year everyone was hyped for the somewhat disappointing Split/Second
The game's cinematic take on arcade racing pulled everyone in and delivered a unique but flawed experience when it launched earlier this year. MotorStorm Apocalypse blows everything about Split/Second away. Last year we were comparing Split/Second to Michael...
We're picturing ourselves at Evolution Studio's offices
Behind us is a big whiteboard with the words, "Race Track Brainstorming Session" emblazoned on it. We know the words are important because they've been underlined not once, not twice, but three times. We're wearing a suit, as are the rabble of ladies and gentleman in our vicinity...

.. a bunch of racers are dropped out of a helicopter onto a collapsing building
Just a normal game of MotorStorm: Apocalypse then? Seriously people, this game needs more hype. We've played it twice now and it's insane. There's more information about MotorStorm's "race where you get dropped from a helicopter onto a skyscraper that is already...
News Evolution Studios: 3D Is No Processor Hog
If there's one game that's certain to convince you 3D technology is the future, MotorStorm: Apocalypse is that game

News MotorStorm Apocalypse Puts On Its Play Create Share Hat

News MotorStorm: Apocalypse Will Prove 3D's Worth, Claim Sony
We've seen MotorStorm: Apocalypse in 3D and we have to say that it is pretty incredible
The depth adds to your ability to judge corners, but the effect brings so much more to the image. There was one moment during our hands-on where we intuitively ducked to the side as a large piece of debris flew out of the screen. Along with Killzone 3, Apocalypse...
First Impressions MotorStorm: Apocalypse on PlayStation 3
Man, do we feel sorry for Black Rock Studio
With Split/Second they created a cinematic racing title with an interesting hook. Watching the environments crash around you was the game's selling point, in an overall package that didn't feel particularly well tuned. MotorStorm: Apocalypse is based on a similar concept, but is every inch more impressive;...

E3 2010 MotorStorm: Apocalypse Trailer Is All About Falling Buildings
MotorStorm games have always been fun
But we honestly couldn't imagine how they could get more fun than Pacific Rift. That game, for us, is the pinnacle of arcade racing. But that's why we're not game designers, and developers Evolution Studios are. The answer, of course, was to include falling buildings. And plenty of falling buildings there are in...
