  MotorStorm 3 rumours surface

  Another day, another big videogame rumour. Following on from InFamous 2 - which has now been officially announced - it's MotorStorm 3's turn in the speculation spot, as some rough photos of the game have appeared on the net.

  The pictures - thanks Kotaku - suggest that the game will be set in an apocalyptic and partially collapsing version of San Francisco, a plan which would provide plenty of opportunity for the game's jouncing take on off-road battling.

  Eurogamer's been studying the images closely and suspects that one shows a well-tuned racer trying to get past skyscrapers before they collapse, while another has pedestrians fleeing while a helicopter burns in the background.

  It sounds more like Split/Second: Velocity than the kind of things the developer Evolution Studios has done in the past, as it's tended to stick to natural wildernesses for its action, ranging from the desert to volcanic islands and the Arctic. That said, the shots look fantastic, and the only thing better for a gamer than a destroyed city is a destroyed city you can race around in on quad bikes and big rigs.

  Sony has yet to comment on whether the shots are genuine, but MotorStorm 3 is looking like a good bet for an E3 unveiling.
