Another IP so soon? Well that would be really neat.

killer88snake5526d ago

They should be working on the load times in MNR first.

True crime streets of LA was great fun on the ps2. So heres hoping this reboot will continue to please :). Looking forward to it.

sinncross5527d ago

Unless this listing is quite old I think its fair to assume its not True Crime since that has already been announced. Why advertise for an original IP, which itself implies something brand new rather then an existing franchise.

That said, the big question should be who the publisher is... will this be an exclusive or a multiplatform title.

coolcut1355527d ago

true crime is what i thought
but they mentioned a new ip n i dont think reboots count

True Crime is the True Crime IP, it's not 'original'.

It's not uncommon for devs to work on 2 titles at a time and now that MNR is finished and only requires minor looking after for patches/dlc/etc. they'll get to work on whatever new stuff they have lined up.

HBK6195526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

True Crime was announced months ago, that's not NEW.

This title, will be a new one they began working on when they finished MNR. As "original IP" would not go in line with a title that is onto it's 3rd iteration.

Modnation Racers and LittleBigPlanet Karting Servers Shutting Down

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

Teflon022632d ago

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

pody2631d 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.

Teflon022631d 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 :(

XisThatKid2900d ago (Edited 2900d 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

danny8182900d ago

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

S-Word2900d ago

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