EA's Bright Light is working on the next Harry Potter game, but the studio evidently has got something else in the pipeline as well: Spare Parts. It's a downloadable title for XBLA and PSN about robots working together to rebuild their spaceship, according to EA's E3 lineup announcement.
In the cooperative "online action adventure," robots Mar-T and Chip collect "upgradable action parts" to enhance their abilities, so they can survive long enough to find the parts for their ship before Lord Krung and his Super Huge Mega Laser can destroy them. Along the way, they hope to rescue other robots.
It kind of sounds like a robotic Metroidvania crossed with Toe Jam & Earl, based on EA's description. We'll learn more during E3!
Sony's pre-E3 reveals continue with confirmation of MotorStorm: Apocalypse (a.k.a. "MotorStorm 3"). Confirming previously leaked details, Apocalyypse takes the franchise to a new urban setting, with a focus on destruction -- not unlike the recently-released Split/Second. Players will be (foolishly!) racing through a city in the middle of an earthquake, driving through collapsing buildings.
"This isn't post-apocalyptic. It's apocalyptic. You are there when it happens. It's survival racing," the PlayStation.Blog adds. In addition to the new setting, developer Evolution Studios is promising a greater emphasis on online and split-screen multiplayer, offering split-screen team racing in online, 16-player matches.
MotorStorm 3 will be playable at E3 next week. Expect our full hands-on report then.
