ModNationRacersHQ.com Initial Beta Impressions

ModNationRacersHQ.com writes: "Upon checking our email this morning, all of us at ModNationRacersHQ.com were excited to see that we received a beta access code for United Front's creative new kart combat title, ModNation Racers. Having followed this game since it was announced, we waited impatiently for the game to download and install, eager to get our hands on the creative features we had heard so much about. Once the game started we were greeted by a tongue-in-cheek history of kart racing, just a short introduction to set the tone of the game."

Someone does a real preview of the beta ..

it's spot on by the way

D4RkNIKON5669d ago

I want this beta so bad. I also have to get this game, I have always been a huge fan of the Mario Kart series and this will own. I watched HHG special on MNR today and can't wait to play it.

I'm so glad Sony has embraced the creative gaming community with their "Play, Create, Share" philosophy. LittleBigPlanet and ModNation Racers are two of the greatest things to happen to gaming in a long time.

The ability to design your own content adds so much enjoyment and replay value to games. I just wish more developers would realize this and get with the program. Thank God for developers like United Front and Media Molecule, who took the risk and lead the way.

This is the most in-depth review...or preview depending on the angle here, of this game so far! THat Cap is sweet too! I'll have to check out your guys website once the game rolls around as I don't have the beta. At least not yet.

Modnation Racers and LittleBigPlanet Karting Servers Shutting Down

Sony Interactive Entertainment will be shutting the servers down for two PS3 racing games in July.

Teflon022634d ago

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

pody2634d 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.

Teflon022633d 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

@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.

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 :(

XisThatKid2903d ago (Edited 2903d 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

danny8182903d ago

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

S-Word2902d ago

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