"It's all good going from being an independent developer," Paul Hollywood told Next-Gen at Tuesday's PlayStation Day. 'When we did the first World Rally Championship game there were 12 of us that made it and I've realized in the past few months that [being acquired] actually makes our job a hell of a lot easier because we have a massive pool of resources behind us from Sony. It basically lets us continue what we're doing but makes things much easier.'"
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣

Poor Heavy Rain lol that game was and is a pile. Emulation sounds cool though - Res. Evil 3 and Directors Cut all the way.
So games run at 10 fps and graphical glitches not seen since pcsx2 in 2003,.. I will get there someday.
Good interview - with a decent set of screens too.
Sounds like this game will be real fun, and I'm particularly pleased we'll have split screen multi player :)
This title is very Fresh and exciting and should sit perfectly well next to Gran Turismo!!!
These guys (Evolution Studios)are very enthusiastic and motivated and extremely talented,they took the bull by the horns and are taming it.
The PS3 is in good hands and will be one hulluva gaming system in a few years..
Things are too good for us in the PS3 camp.
I hope they share what their learning with all the Old Gen PC developers out there doing Low Def games on PS3..
