ModNation Racers Has Four-Player Splitscreen Possibly Thanks To YouDuring the Game Developers Conference earlier this month, game producer Dan Sochan told Kotaku that the public beta tests of ModNation Racers gave the game's developers 1,000 bugs to squash. And it gave them the nudge they needed to add four-player splitscreen multiplayer to the game."
Mario Kart has always reigned supreme when it comes to the best kart racers out there to play, but there are still a few other racers that are must-plays.
Sony Interactive Entertainment will be shutting the servers down for two PS3 racing games in July.
Sad, hopefully they make a new Modnation racers game. wait, is it completely shutting down or can you still download tracks?
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.
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

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.
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 :(
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
game was great. However it felt soules Mario Kart. The load times on the game for Psvita were beyond horrible
this is cool
but can i play online with them?
thats whta i liked about warhawk
you play online with allot of people and could have your buds also
i think more games need to do that
Great news. I really think racing games should have split-screen everytime. But, like said above...they need to fix the steering.Other than that, cant wait :)
I haven't seen that feature since last gen! I think there is maybe 4-8 games this generation that actually have split-screen. Most developers this generation usually assume anyone who plays video games doesn't have any real friends. So its either online or nothing.
