SEGA characters invade Modnation Racers

SEGAbits writes: " Since the game features some pretty deep create a character tools, it was expected that a SEGA fan would create their favorite characters in the game.

Our forum member Monkeroony has done just that. Creating Sonic, Shadow, Beat, Aiai, and even Ryo Hazuki."

The mod creator is limited in some ways, but i've found it can do some impressive stuff, i've even been able to create a good range of characters, from E. Gadd to Colonel Volgin

Now the track editor, thats impressive...

The character creation in MNR is unlimited. I hope LBP2 adopts this creation depth for the SackPersons. Gotta love how these games borrow from each other and grow.

SeanRL5473d ago

That would be really great. lbp is a good game but it needs to take a lesson from mnr and make the levels and characters easier to make and customize.

capnjoe2175473d ago

Hey, Alpha. I've even seen some Dexter Morgan mods on there.

badz1495473d ago

if they make the sackboys too customizable, people will start playing LBP with non-sackboys in no time! that's kinda beat the purpose of making him the mascot of the game IMO! MNR never had a single character as the mascot ala sackboy so, deep creation tools for characters are truly welcome but for LBP, I think Mm should stick with making more creation tools for levels IMO. that's what LBP is about to begin with!

i want hatsune miku in lbp2 and this game!
i miss jet set radio games :(

Atlus coming in strong for Sega thankfully

What about the Yakuza series and Sonic?

_Decadent_Descent15d ago

I like what's on their legacy IP list, but there are still many more franchises they could revive. Shining Force and Chakan come to mind.

The Dreamcast was the biggest gamble and way ahead of its time.

OtterX16d ago

I wish we lived in the Alternate Timeline where Sega was still a dominant force in the console space and it hadn't been Microsoft.

Deeeeznuuuts15d ago

I've always said this, would much prefer SEGA, such a shame.

blacktiger15d ago

this was all part of the plan to give Microsoft the spot

chicken_in_the_corn15d ago

Would be interesting to see what they would do for a modern console.

Saturn was a fantastic piece of kit... they just went a little too ambitious with its dual CPU setup. which turned a lot of developers off (at the time). The homebrew community have done some amazing work many years later, thanks to multichip experience. It is still the best platform for arcade fighters and shmups of all time. Dreamcast is a close 2nd though.

Profchaos16d ago

Yeah it was a interesting decision especially when looking at how dual CPU is considered a root cause of why the Jaguar was a failure.

Also the hardware rendered four sided polygons where the standard was three if they kept with triangle polygons I feel the systems development would have been easier to work with and we would have seen more third party ports in the west.

I think it was a victim of its time more than anything it saw huge success in Japan but the leadership and internal turmoil in the west meant games were not getting localised along with a focus on arcade like games were the PlayStation and later the N64 were pushing more in depth experiences over coin munching high score driven games.

Knightofelemia16d ago

I still enjoy my Saturn it was the first console I mowed lawns for and saved up for to purchase. I went so far as to purchase a used Saturn to run off an SD card. I even have a second Dreamcast modded to run off an SD card as well.
