Don't know exactly how reliable this person is but I've gone through their tweet history and its mostly stuff about the long rumored bioshock. So take this with a big gigantic grain of salt

If true why the fuck did they sell evolution
Such a stupid move

Never shouldve sold Evo Studios. Especially after it sold 2 million copies of Driveclub in just 8 months. It couldve been their forza Horizon.
After playing the Matrix demo, I am convinced they couldve matched the E3 2005 CG trailer.

Didn't they go to shit after Motorstorm series?
Horrible launch of Driveclub then that mediocre OnRush game?

I'd say it's false because they recently removed the Twisted Metal game and hired its game director (+ who knows if more people) to move it to Firesprite, who has a lot of former Motorstorm, Driveclub, Sony Liverpool and Bizarre Creations devs.
If Sony would want to make a new Motorstorm they would give it to Firesprite. I'd more than welcome new Motorstorm and Wipeout games specially if made by Firesprite but Sony stopped making Motorstorm, Driveclub or Wipeout because outside a few IPs (which aren't these ones) they don't sell anymore.

Imo they should do a gran turismo Horizon type game. I don't see a motorstorm moving big numbers

Lucid Games are hiring for an open world game that mentions character placement. I don’t think it’s MotorStorm.

evolution did that to themselves, go watch the announcement trailer and see if that is what you got. i also agree they shouldn't be closed down but they did that to themselves

They closed them down cuz Driveclub was late, buggy, and bad. (And House shutdown most of their UK teams.)
Next they made Onrush, another flop, and got laid off again.

I would love a new one, but I have no idea what kind of competence Lucid would have to make it.
Isn't 2 million in 8 months pretty bad compared to other Sony exclusives? Maybe not for an arcade racer.

I think Motorstorm 2 and 3 already didn't meet sales projections. Driveclub failed as well. OnRush, if Evo would release this as a Sony funded PS4 game they might've dodged a bullet.
I love Driveclub but Evolution weren't really sustainable I think. They shtick is arcade racing and its a genre that has a hard time for over a decade now.

They didn't sell it, they shutted it down due to poor sales of Motorstorm series and Driveclub.
But your friends Jimbo and Hulst bought Firesprite, who has a ton of the defunct Sony Liverpool, Evolution and Bizarre Creations including most key staff from all Motorstorm games and Driveclub. Plus a ton of people more who worked in top games of many kinds.

nope. 2 millions is a lot for any game, the problem we used to some successful games sell a lot more than that.

Motorstorm is one of my favorite racers between burnout series and forza series. Would LOVE to see another one born! Make it happen Sony!

Compared to other PS4 exclusives at the time, it was pretty good. KZ2 sold 2.1 million in 3 months. Infamous and Bloodborne did 1 million in 1 month. And we never got anymore sales figures for those games. DC did 2 million sandwiched between Infamous and Bloodborne.
This was also a huge upgrade from their Motorstorm sales which never really hit a million after the first game sold 2.5 million.

Holy hell, a new Motorstorm PSVR2 compatible with all that extra horsepower…..spooge!

This game was so good. I remember mashing the boost button trying to make it over the finish line without blowing up.

Yeah I dunno but I'm sure there would be a good reason for shutting them down.

They released 4 Motorstorm games (there was a portable one but was made by Big Big and Virtuos) and Driveclub. I loved them all, but which one had good sales?

Always thought that they should to Gran Turismo Arcade or GT Arcade or Gran Turismo Street or GT Street
Use all of the existing assets, shift it to street/mountain racing, add in a touge mode, maybe ease up on the car mechanics and handling, and remove cars where the manufacturers won't support it. Easy peasy.

Incredible. One of the best Evolution games can be had.
Nothing bad if this happens.

I tried way too many times to blow myself up just crossing the finishing line lol.
Same thing I do in Forza Horizon series. Do a 360 handbrake turn over the finishing line lol. bad habits

I would be onboard for another motorstorm game.
Sometimes they all dont have to be platinum/diamond/emerald/saphhire sellers. Its good to have a diverse lineup of games in your portfolio to attract people. You know kinda like retail stores that sell things at a loss/no profit to attract customers hoping theyll buy other things.

Nearly every game they released was received worse than the game before it, with DriveClub being a complete disaster.

Games are expensive to develop, especially if you consider opportunity cost.

For the love of god, please be true.
I’d even take a remastered trilogy collection.

They should've done it last gen and asked Evo Studios to help PD out (or even take the lead). I mean you could see how popular Forza Horizon was becoming and with a triple A budget and talent you could easily challenge them with a super recognizable brand like Gran Turismoi.

Assuming it's true, Sony has gone SP narrative for 10 years (aside from GT online and baseball). But with what people have posted about studios doing MP games and if this Motorstorm rumor is true, looks like they want to get back into trying MP again. for mid PS5 gaming and into PS6.
The PS3 era was tons of MP games, but some reason the second KZ: Shadowfall launched, all MPs except GT and baseball seemed canned.
They just needed to focus a bit more back then and not shotgun a million shooters at once hoping one sticks. That probably burned them out and made them give up MP.

A game like this in VR would need to have a physical and virtual bin to puke in. So much movement, shaking, etc. Might even need diapers in VR. But holy should would I love to experience it!

The first two Motorstorms sold well into the millions. The third one released when Japan had the massive earthquake and tsunami which a game filled with that sort of content was frowned upon and immediately pulled from shelves all over the world. DriveClub rushed to make launch.

Say what you like but the 1st Motorstorm was the best, that dirty setting and atmosphere was nowhere to be found in Pacific Rift and Apocalypse, if they could just reboot the series with the same setting and with that infamous E3 2005 trailer's level of visual, man, that would be something.

People said the same about Wipeout too, but that didn’t bother me at all, I’m not everyone mind.

They might finally be able to hit that “in game” PS3 bull shot trailer!

Even though I would love a new MotorStorm, I doubt a new one is coming, specially from Lucid. Seems like another of those useless Twitter insider.
Anyway, a new MotorStorm featuring tracks from 1, Pacific Rift, Apocalypse (drop the scenarios shenanigans) and Arctic Edge would be ace.

It actually doesn’t look very good now, probably could have done it last-gen.

They are about a decade late with this. Sony should have started looking into an arcade racing experience for the PlayStation the moment the original Forza Horizon released and became a success.

I think the game looks great still, especially after it's age! This is one of my favorite games! Please let it be real!
