Motorstorm: Apocalypse Create Mode Details

Back in July we had the first news that Motorstorm: Apocalypse would have some sort of race creation feature and now a few more details have emerged. Evolution Studio’s Paul Rutschynsky has revealed that the races that arrive on the disc will be created using a toolkit that ships with the game, which in turn you can use to create your own races.

“We’re shipping basically the same tools we used to make those game modes on the disc,” said  Rutschynsky, “So the player will be able to string together a series of actions to create a consequence to string together rules to basically create and then share their own game modes online.”

“If you don’t want it to be who comes first, you can change those rules so it’s like a points scoring system that you’ve devised, or rules where any vehicle come into contact with another vehicle, they both explode. You can do whatever you want. We’ll promote the best [modes] on the official matchmaker so everyone gets a chance to play these new game modes.”

Any races created can be shared via the PSN but Evolution are keen to stress  the editor does not go as far as creating your own tracks,

“It’s taking cues from LittleBigPlanet; it’s not extended where you can build entire levels, but where you can set your own rules up.”

Motorstorm: Apocalypse is out next year (despite Play.com having it listed for for 5th November 2010!) To pass the rather long wait, why not check out this footage. It looks like a playable version of the race to the airport from the film 2012.

I just have one question: If the world is ending and buildings are crashing around your ears, is this really the best time to call up your mates? “I say chaps, apocalypse and all that – last one to the crumbling office block is a big nancy! Tally ho!”
