Racing games are meant to be played either in cabin or bonnet view. Especially games like Motorstorm.

I used to prefer tailing, in the old gen when you could get a better view but with the effort they put into the effect in Cabin and bonnet I think those views offers a better experience, it gives to better sense of your cars tilt and how much your turning.

This makes Split/Second look like a PS1 game. SS didn't even have damage modeling..

Edit: Holy shit @ running people over, rofl. It sucks that Sony didn't have time to show this at their conference. Unlike Split/Second, the environments in Apocalypse are always collapsing, and it does so with a smoother frame rate at pre-alpha. Just wow, can't wait to see the other tracks.

tinybigman5077d ago

i was like holy shit that looks awesome and running over people is pure win for me hahahaha. anyone know when this drops? the graphics are insane.

The Motorstorm franchise is so underrated. When I bought my PS3 I bought an 80GB Motorstorm bundle and barely played the original. It wasn't until I found Pacific Rift for $10 brand new at Wal-Mart last summer that I decided to pick it up and convince about seven or eight of my friends to do the same in an attempt to give the franchise another go...and boy am I glad I did. One of the most difficult, grueling racers on the market that will flat out whoop your ass if you don't put in the time necessary to learn the tracks, learn the vehicles and learn how to boost and I absolutely love it. Not to mention the visuals are flat out ridiculous. Pacific Rift is by far one of the best looking games on the market. The intro alone had me in awe. Apocalypse looks to be everything that Split/Second could have and should have been. I almost feel like Evolution mixed a little San Fransisco Rush in there just for good measure. I just hope the city based tracks can live up to the awesomeness that is "Caldera Ridge".

ShinMaster5077d ago

Split/Second's environmental destruction is on a smaller scale compared to MotorStorm: Apocalypse.

I'm loving the physics so far :D

Sunny_D5077d ago

HOLY SHIT! That was Pre Alpha? There was soooo much action happening on scren!0_0 DAMN! Looks like there might be QTE sequences in the game.

Mista T5077d ago (Edited 5077d ago )

my jaw fell to the ground at 1:10, amazing enviroments
and it's only pre alpha!

Orange5077d ago

This is definitely San Francisco-inspired. The trolley cars look like some of ours (we import trolleys from all over the world and restore them...the ones in Motorstorm look like our Italian-restored models).

They also modeled the subway cars right off of BART cars:

callahan095077d ago

My word, this game looks like a lot of fun. Just awesome. Can't wait to see some of the other courses and the ridiculous destruction going on there.

raztad5077d ago

You know guys this game will be running natively at 1080p? That is a HUGE achievement considering all the stuff going on on screen.

hs1235077d ago

all i can say is wow. Best part when the ground fell. this will be one epic game, just imagine playing this in 3d.

Donny5077d ago

looks great, looks to play even better.

talltony5077d ago

That looks INCREDIBLE!! WHy didnt they demonstrate this at e3? I cannot wait for this game. Motorstorm series is easily the best off road racer this gen. They clearly got ideas from 2012 with this one, WOW!

Tailing views are better for arcade racers.

mrv3215077d ago

I played Motorstorm 1 in tailing, 2 in bonnet and then I moved back to 1 and used bonnet because you get the feeling of every lift, incline decline and direction it's much better in my opinion but each to their own.

DaThreats5077d ago

I wanna see animals on da tracks, we either be stopped by them, like a rhino, or run dem over, like a sheep
lol

Dead_Cell5077d ago

That looks f_cking awesome.

Reno175077d ago

Looks pretty awesome to me, and this is pre-alpha footage too!

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 6h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie20h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 8h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 6h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 6h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii16h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno15h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
