From the list of games purportedly in development for the PS3 and to be released this year, there’s nothing that really grabs my interest. Which is a shame, because I want to be one of the first people on my block to own a PS3, and I won’t have any games to play on it.

Unless this particular rumour is true. A small throwaway line on Evolution Studios’ website says “Evolution is currently contracted by Sony to produce a ‘next-gen’ PS3 launch title called MotorStorm.”

Now that is a game I could really sink my teeth into. Of course we haven’t seen actual gameplay yet, so the game may end up being pretty bad. But somehow I doubt it – Evolution Studios seems to have a pretty good track record.

GameSpot – MotorStorm launching with PS3?
