United Front Games working on new PS3 title for 2012, possibly ModNation 2

GGTL: "Superannuation has done that thing he does - the one where he splits apart the internet like a Creme Egg and scoops all the delicious goo out for you. And this time, who goo-covered hands (I didn't think that one through) have brought up the delight that the PS3 will get another exclusive in 2012, most probably a ModNation sequel."

I'd rather them launch it with the PS4. I've still yet to beat the first one and it seems like a game that should only be done once a gen and just release for DLC.

Abash4471d ago

If they fix the loading times and make the AI a bit more fair than I will get this game

SoapShoes4471d ago

They did greatly reduce the loading times in an update. It's still not great but it's tolerable. It's not like Crash Wrath of Cortex. hahaha

torchic4471d ago

not only loading times, but the user interface, like the menus and stuff. aesthetically the UI was very PS2 era like, very bland, especially when compared to LittleBigPlanet's UI. I know it's a small thing but for me and probably many more it does take away from the game a bit.

"They did greatly reduce the loading times in an update."

Not enough -.-"
It is still annoying as hell.

I dont see any problem with having MNR2 as a PS4 title (depending on when the PS4 launches of course).

If this is MNR2 then awesome, if not ,then great too. Would be interesting to see if they have done any work on a new IP.

MrBeatdown4471d ago

I'd rather see them finish up True Crime (or whatever the name will be changed to). I love the creation aspects of Modnation, but kart racing just isn't my thing.

EliteDave934471d ago

Wasnt True Crime bought by Square enix?

MrBeatdown4471d ago (Edited 4471d ago )

Yup, but United Front is independent, so they were able to stay on as the developer. They need to change the name to something besides "True Crime" though, since Activision still owns the name.

Dakidog4471d ago

Modnation was great, story line was funny as hell! It was a refreshing game...as competitive as Mario Kart, great weapons, customization & creating was easy and fun.

hellzsupernova4471d ago

i really had a lot of fun with mod nation great game! probably the best kart racer this gen especially when you consider how much you can do with the track editor and car editor and character it really is amazing,

Modnation Racers and LittleBigPlanet Karting Servers Shutting Down

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

Teflon022204d ago

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

pody2204d 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.

Teflon022203d 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

pody2203d 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_Order2204d 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-Word2472d ago

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