MotorStorm 2 Coming For Christmas?
Sony's PS3 exclusive, MotorStorm 2, is due out in time for Christmas this year...apparently.

The BBC - reporting from the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco - tells us the game "moves the action away from the desert locale of the original. Gamers will be able to race around a lush island environment, full of interactive vegetation."

Also mentioned is the fact that local four-player, split-screen action will be thrown in.

SPOnG has contacted Sony for confirmation, but no comment was available at the time of press.

That MotorStorm 2 is coming is no big secret. Apart from the fact that Sony would have to be addled beyond belief to not produce a sequel, it was confirmed last year as the game's developer, Evolution Studios, was bought up by Sony.

In other Sony news, the BBC was also told about a top-secret project which prompted the response, "we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion."

Guesses in the Forum, please.

I'm not sure this kind of RPG gameplay is going to go down well with the fans of Motorstorm.
Me: Hello Mr Jungle Shrub. How's the foliage today?
Shrub: Why hello. My glossy fronds are just fine, thanks for asking.
Me: Rockin'. Great to hear that. Say, have you see the Swamp Grass family recently?
Shrub: Oh my! Haven't you heard? It's horrible. I'm lost for words. My friend up there, Mr Palm, will have to tell you. He saw the whole thing.
Me: Hey Palm.
Palm: Yo dude. It was, like, pretty horrific man. Some spotty kids came blazing through on these, like, crazy quad bikes and just totally tore the whole family to shreds - children and all. It was shocking, man. There were blades everywhere.
