The team MotorStorm: Apocalypse, Evolution Studios, wanted to tell the troubled launch of their latest game, which followed the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan. When he was ready to begin on the shelves, Sony has decided to postpone the launch in many countries including England and France. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has not been accidental but sad not to notice similarities between the gameplay of the game and the tragic events that struck the country recently in Japan.
"We could not ignore it and tried to run for cover as gently and painlessly as possible," said a company representative at the time. Now, after a couple of weeks of the new launch date moved to March 31, the game director Matt Southern wanted to explain the impact that real events have had on the game and those who have worked with us.
"The timing of MotorStorm Apocalypse was not exactly perfect," said the Southern European PlayStation Blog. "I remember I woke up that Friday morning ready for the final rush that preceded the release of the game. We were all working hard for weeks, but when I turned on the television and saw what happened in Japan, I was shocked" .
"My first thought obviously was not for gambling but for our Japanese producer and his family. The amazing thing is that after a very short time I received his mail in which he apologized because he had to stop testing on the product. "" I could not help but think that was an exceptional person.
A few hours after a tragedy like that, he was concerned about not being able to carry on the work as expected. Incredible! "." At that point we had to make the decision to postpone the release of the game and now, after weeks since then, I think we did the right thing. "Just today, Southern has announced the first expansion MotorStorm: Apocalypse, the Supercar Elite, which will be available only for two weeks.
More updates are in the works and will include a new line (available in various versions) and an editor that will edit and customize the game modes.
