Quick Look: MotorStorm Apocalypse

Im gonna buy this:) Loved the artic :)

disappointed with the demo.  Really liked the first 2 games :/

So this is Motor Storm meeting Split/Second?

Looks pretty cool although the lack of destruction caused by players could be annoying. At least they use the cheesy cutscenes as pretty effective tutorials about some basic concepts. So far it seems like it shares quite a bit of Spli/Second's vibe which I like despite some potential flaws.

so close! I still fail to get that...i wish there was a block against 1st posts if you have the quest. Not a big fan of motor games but this one looks pretty decent.

remake carmageddon 2!

Oh god Carmageddon yes. Goddamn. So awesome.

Boom 

How I miss MotorStorm of yesteryear.

It looks interesting, but I'm not sure it's the right type of racing game for me.

Oh thank god new quick look. I NEED THIS.

Steve Blum confirmed.

Weird. I could have sworn I read somewhere that after the earthquake in Japan they had cancelled this game. Maybe they are just not shipping it in Japan?

"Lets see what they have done with this festival mode"

The world has ended...

Not enjoying Jeff's minor cynicism about this game. A bit nit picky.

Have Steven Blum and Nolan North ever worked on the same game? Because they are pretty much the dynamic duo of video game voice actors.

so how's the online?.... oh wait.

I feel like if you are going to differentiate your racing title with a story, don't make it a stop motion comic. It cheapens the effect and somehow makes the racing worse.

I actually like Motorstorm. I wouldn't mind renting this.

Mudpluggers!

Most likely. They're both well known for providing dozens upon dozens of ''minor roles'' in games. Dragon Age: Origins for example. Except that time Blum did actually voice a supporting character, while Nolan only voiced minor characters; like that crazed dwarf, Ruck, during the Deep Roads bit. "

Singularity says hi. Steven Blum shoots Nolan North in the face. "

Steven Blum is the new Nolan North.

Steven Blum pulling out that Ogrehn/Grey voice again. Man, makes me wish I could bulletkick a motorcross racer.

I fucking hate motion comics in games. Actually I just hate them period. They always look so crappy and they just scream to me that the devs didn't have enough time or money to make real, nice cg cutscenes, or even in-engine stuff, so they just cobbled together some bad looking bullshit instead.

Oh man those cutscenes look awful.

I notice that Jeff have started using the term "I've never really kinected with any of *insert something here*".
Are you being paid for that Jeff?

Lmao. That's.. pretty awesome. Never played it, though such a scene has certainly raised my interest. "

LASERS? Fing A I'm watching this Quick Look.

Edit: The cutscenes definitely look like a drag, but the game itself looks pretty great.

Maybe Jeff's just really good at games (does he play quite a few of them, I don't know) but this looks pretty easy to me. Also, getting sick of the concept of the lack of respect for virtual human life in modern games; it's a little bit disturbing IMHO.

 "Members of the public, you now have one minute to reach minimum safe distance ."  is the vibe I got from the people hanging out on the track.

Too much "Insert random word to create a new genre"-step for my liking...

I still get the feeling that all of the motion comic cutscenes were actually animated storyboards with the fully rendered cinematics (in-game or CGI, who knows) later to come, but they ran out of budget halfway through development and they decided ‘Fuck it, we still have these basic scenes lying around. Mike, Adam, polish them up for retail.” At least, that’s the vibe I got when playing through the game. You don’t go from having those gorgeous intro/menu background videos to half-assed Newgrounds flash video animation, and if it was purely a design choice, then it was a bad one.

This comic cutscene trend has to stop. It's always shit.

The racing genre is not one of my favourites...

I'm pretty bummed to see that the physics haven't been improved. I really hated the way crashes felt in previous games - not the fact that I was crashing so often, but the weird way objects reacted to one another.

motion comic disappoint.

granted, motorstorm needed something to freshen up the festival experience rather than pure badge-earning, and a story mode is a good attempt, but that motion comic just looks cheesy.

motorstorm 1 was the launch title to have, pacific rift is great, but i highly doubt i'll be getting apocalypse. i was unimpressed with the demo a few weeks back, and this QL hasn't sold me either. shame.

This game makes me want Road Rash even more. Come on EA, what are you doing? Well than again, I wouldn't want you to further ruin my Genesis days. So I guess, continue taking your time, the game will never meet my expectations... or what I remember as a kid.
