The private military organization can also have a severe impact, with an attack helicopter firing missiles at the track. Stealing cars and slamming racers off the road, causing riots in the middle of the street, and shooting players with firearms are just a few things we witnessed during our demo presentation. The rioters can directly interfere with an ongoing race by causing various forms of destruction and mayhem. The races themselves will take place amongst the havoc between the two factions, and will provide players with a ridiculous amount of obstacles to avoid. Unknown to them at the time, they have actually set foot in the middle of a turf-war between a group of rioters ravaging whats left of the city, and a private military organization tasked with protecting the governments assets. The MotorStorm Festival group has been searching for a new venue, and has taken-up root in a recently evacuated metropolitan city destroyed by a massive earthquake. What the developers mean by this is, that if you start a playthrough as Mash, for example, you may see some sort of giant crater in the middle of a track and think, hmm, thats interesting. However, once you eventually proceed through the game with The Big Dog character, the craters reason for being will have come to light, since his in-game events would have taken place earlier in the storylines chronology.Īside from the main characters importance to the overall story, we saw a recent demo showing off some of the most interesting plot points impacting gameplay directly. Each character will have a unique outlook throughout the entire three-day festival and each will witness persistent in-game events separately. The first, being the easiest and obviously most accessible playthrough, will feature The Rookie character named Mash, followed by The Survivor character, Tyler, and lastly The Big Dog.. What it will feature, in terms of plot, are three distinct perspectives to coincide with the three difficulty levels in the game. So if you got the idea that it will feature some epic-adventure storyline, then I give you the go-ahead to breathe your sigh of relief, because that just isnt the case. The developers are firm in the idea that this is primarily a racing game and are only looking for a unique approach thats appropriate for the MotorStorm franchise. But dont be too concerned, its not as bad as it may sound. MotorStorm: Apocalypse takes players to The City, an apocalyptic urban environment loosely based around Californias Bay Area, and for the first time in the series, Evolution Studios will be taking on a more story-driven approach to its game. Lucky for us, the stars have triumphantly aligned on this one.
