With E3 just around the corner, Sony has announced yet another new title for the PlayStation 3: MotorStorm Apocalypse. In the same way that the first MotorStorm was set in Monument Valley, and MotorStorm Pacific Rift was set on ‘The Island’, inspired by Hawaii and other Pacific islands, we’ve set this MotorStorm in ‘The City’, inspired by the West Coast of America, and, in particular, the Bay Area of California.
Sony has revealed the first trailer for Dead Nation. The title was first announced at Gamescom in Cologne last year but you can expect more news on the title at this year’s E3.
