MotorStorm: Apocalypse info burst

Evolution Studios has rolled out a fresh batch of MotorStorm: Apocalypse details for your consumption, among which includes confirmation of a spring 2011 release and plans for a playable demo.

The studio said it plans to support the adrenaline-fuelled racer with ample DLC, and teased plans to release a free ‘special island track’ that it’s been chiselling away on as of late.

3D’s also been confirmed, as has a heap of PSN-related goodies including avatars, dynamic themes and more. Furthermore, players can also look forward to winding up their rivals with a set of fresh, “insanely flamboyant gestures.”

Feast your eyes on the full scoop below.

-Player customization: Perks enable full visual customisation and performance customization in the form of perks are both new features.

-Playable demo: A demo is being planned for 2011.

-Stereoscopic 3D: We showed Skyline in stereoscopic 3D, and pretty much everyone agreed with me that it sets the benchmark for 3D gaming. I hope you get to experience it in this way!

-Exclusive content: PSN avatars, dynamic themes, pre-order and PlayStation Plus exclusives are all planned and we’ll have specifics to share very soon.

-New Photo Mode: We’ve got a sophisticated Photo Mode that can capture gameplay images in ultra-high resolutions, as well as some easy-to-use tools that allow for fantastic post-effects – all of the Skyline screenshots were taken using Photo Mode mid-race!

-Post-release content: We have big ambitions to continue support for the game after it releases, and to develop some of the concepts we haven’t been able to find time for in development, including a special island track we’re hoping to be able to give away for free.

-New taunts and gestures: All previous versions of MotorStorm featured the ability to taunt other riders. This time, we have a set of insanely flamboyant gestures guaranteed to get your opponents fuming.

-New videos: The videos, including a series of developer diaries, will be launched on the PlayStation.Blog and PSN in the next couple of weeks.

-Release date: We don’t have a final global release date, but are scheduled to launch in Spring 2011.
