Looks amazing, its a big departure from the previous games and it seems to be following the same trend of background destruction as Split Second.
The multiplayer sounds great, totally customisable with your won rules, modes and an XP and wager system like COD.
It also has 4-player split-screen on one console with all players able to play online.

* Sixteen player online multiplayer.
* Four player split-screen.
* Combinations of the two. Play with three friends in the living room against 12 more online.
* Massive vehicle customisation. Change vinyls, vehicle parts, vehicle shapes and more. Upload them to the community site and share them with others. They automatically work on all vehicle types, and include your PSN ID.
* Vehicle perks. Modify your handling, boosting and offensive abilities as you unlock new perks.
* A wealth of rankings to progess through online with associated rewards and recognition.
* Stacks of online rewards to earn and persistent progress giving the most determined and successful racers the status and recognition they deserve.
* Persistent matchmaking. Keep your party together throughout your gaming session.
* A Game Mode Creator. From a completely blank canvas you can design your own game rules and victory conditions, play them online, and incorporate them into tournaments.

Players can create unique rule sets for completely new games modes.

The system was used by Evolution to create all of the race modes in the game and – very much like Media Molecule’s approach with LittleBigPlanet 1+2 – they’re looking forward to what the public can do with their baby. A simple example would be a mode where eight players control super-powered big rigs and one other a small, weak motorbike. The bike has to do laps around the rigs to score points, the rigs have to smash up the bike to score. It’s a pretty straight forward approach as relayed to us by a developer, but it gives some idea of the level of creativity players can put back into Apocalypse.

Its part in Portugese but the interview with the lead designer is in English. Lots and lots of great info on the game and how the story mode, tracks & events work.

Split screen online sounds class. I really hope they do that with other games. Battlefield would be a good one, i'd like to say COD but really it would just increase an already massive boosting population.

Still would love to see more of that implemented, might get this game just for it

Only played a Motorstorm 2 demo, but if they get the destruction and dynamic tracks right this could be very interesting. Cinematic racing games seem to be the thing now, and hey I'm not really complaining, adds a bit of fun to the typical driving game

2 previous games have been excellent, this one looks ridiculous. Can't wait.
