Sackboy playable in ModNation Racers

ModNation Racers HQ writes, "ModNation Racers has long been touted as "LittleBigPlanet on Wheels". Today this title could not be closer to the truth as United Front Games has allowed us to unveil a playable Sackboy mod & kart combo! The Media Molecule Mascot arrives with his own custom cardboard kart of catastrophe."

This was expected.
I think a good way for Sony top get their Play.Create.Share titles feeling connected (beyond their PCS phrase) is to have the 'main character' from each game made available for the other games.

Helps market the games as well. So the game looks good (heard the beta was a little iffy) and hopefully it is good

Sevir045111d ago

The game even in it's beta state, exudes with polish, the racing was tight for the most part with drifting needed being tweeked. the game is heavily based on physics and there was no rubber band AI although at times it was quite unforgiving. the Creation aspect of the game would have net it a 9 on it's own since everything about it was very simplistic and not intimidating like LBP was Its just awesome. and i'm a HUGE LBP fan i simply cant wait for this game to release. and with sackboys now in MNR this just made my day even better. i love it.

gamermade5111d ago

Yes this does make total sense. I am sure that LBP will get a ModNation pack once this game comes out as well. I participated in the beta and I must say that from the newer videos they seem to have polished up the engine quite a bit...at least when it comes to the editors.

ChozenWoan5111d ago

Even if I have to feed some "Vampires" (aka give blood) to do so.

Myst5110d ago

Okay I've decided I suppose I'll get this game. Here's hoping I get enough money for it and Red Dead tomorrow when I get my paycheck :|

Sad, hopefully they make a new Modnation racers game. wait, is it completely shutting down or can you still download tracks?

pody2203d ago

This is what I'm wondering also. There's so much quality maps available online and it would be unfortunate if people couldn't download those anymore.

Teflon022202d ago

Yeah, I didn't play much online anyways. But I always use to play local multi with my cousin and download so many amazing levels. Sadly 8 didn't get to platinum it. Had only the create trophy, level 30 and 100 races i think left. I had I believe 87 last time 8 checked lol. Might go on to see if I can get my last few lol. Remember my win ratio was decent since I did around 160 races maybe, 170 ranked

pody2202d ago

@Teflon02
Yeah same here, but I actually jumped in not too long ago to play again and it's still holds up great for a 8 year old game. It's was a really good game when it came out and it still is.

Chaos_Order2203d ago

I had some good memories playing Modnation. :( Sad to see it go, but it was inevitable.

ModNation Racers: The Forgotten Gem

There were plenty of notably excellent PlayStation 3 exclusives that were one-and-done during its long history. Games like Mag, Starhawk, Heavy Rain and LittleBigPlanet Karting were solid titles that were not given a chance to expand on their potential with sequels. Ironically, the developer of LittleBigPlanet Karting, United Front Games, had another kart racing title prior to this. Its first game, ModNation Racers, successfully implemented an aspect that wasn’t done previously and hasn’t been done since.

I loved this game, and it's a crying shame that the studio closed eliminating the possibility of a PS4/PS4 Pro Modnation game :(

XisThatKid2472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

Imho this is my fav kart racer. I still play Everhart now and then to this day.
Other than load times the game was excellent

danny8182472d ago

game was great. However it felt soules Mario Kart. The load times on the game for Psvita were beyond horrible

S-Word2471d ago

Sony should've kept going with this instead of turning to LittleBigPlanet Karting.
