PS3-exclusive racer MotorStorm: Pacific Rift was a comedown and its limitations shocking, the executive producer of upcoming open-world racer FUEL has bravely claimed.

Gamezine: 'Two of the best PlayStation 3 racing game developers are to eventually merge under one roof. Developer Evolution Studios were purchased by Sony Entertainment in 2007, and have since released a successful sequel to their racing classic MotorStorm. It's well known that the team shared not only their PlayStation 3 engine but also their knowledge with Sony Studio Liverpool in the creation of WipEout HD. The collaboration resulted in a stunning full-1080p, 60 frames-per-second futuristic racer. When asked whether the studios would merge completely in the future, Denny replies; Yes, it was always the intention with them being in the same geographic location and working so closely together, it would be ideal if they could be housed at some point within the same site, but it's not happening overnight.'
