they didnt opt to use the home avatars instead of these cute and quirky characters. Then again, if they did, it wouldnt be a cute and quirky game.

My avatar just sits at "home" till there is a use for him I guess.

inbfour5403d ago

I see your point. But I'm actually pretty stoked for this game.

FamilyGuy5403d ago

There was only one new thing that i learn from that trailer about the game though.
You can squeeze the track so cars have to bully their way through.
Scratch that, there was one more thing, the seats. I didn't know the seat were customizable too.

I like cute things so that mixed with the level sharing are why im getting this when it come out.

JL5402d ago

Actually this game seems too "cartoony" for Home avatars. I think it's much much better with how they have it here. Gives much more range for character creation too. I can't wait for this game.

ReaperXL75403d ago

Honestly I just can't wait to get my hands on the game, much like LBP it just looks like so much fun.

The customization options look pretty awesome, and the track creator looks extreamly streamlined and easy. I'm just curious how deep the track maker will actually be by the games completion.

JL5402d ago

I agree. I'm getting this day one already. I can't wait for it. Looks like I'm going to be sinking LOTS of time into this game. And the track creation DOES look easy and streamlined which I really like, cause to be quite honest, LBP's level create is kind of intimidating and isn't all that easy. This one looks like I'll definitely be creating though. As for how deep the track creation is, seems to me that already it's about as deep as it needs to be. From what I've seen it seems fairly extensive or plenty extensive enough to suit my needs (not to mention, I'd almost have to bet that updates will bring other things).

GIJeff5403d ago

this is like track mania meets little big planet. this looks like millions of hours of fun. i hate this. too many good games.

JL5402d ago

I know how you feel. Way too many good games. I'm thinking though this game might even sneak into my Top 5 wanted. At least my Top 10. I REALLY can't wait for this game. Lots of fun to be had I'm sure.

I used to describe this as Mario Kart meets LBP, but upon further thinking about it I think I have to change that. Seems alot to me like Mario Kart meets LBP and has a baby who grows up influenced by uncle Crash Team Racing. Which is all fine though because I loved both Mario Kart and CTR. Would be awesome if this ended up including like a battle arena like CTR did though.

Ravage275403d ago

anyone knows if there is splitscreen like Motorstorm 2?

JL5402d ago

I'm with you man. That is one of my biggest concerns about this game. Because Mario Kart and CTR were awesome back in the day because it allowed me and my friends to sit here and play together. But nowadays it seems local multiplayer is going the way of the dodo almost. It's insane when it's a rare thing for racing games this gen to have split-screen local multiplayer. This game just HAS to have it. I mean it'll almost be unacceptable if it doesn't. I'm praying to the god I don't believe in that it does have split-screen. I think it's practically necessary here.

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 :(

XisThatKid2473d ago (Edited 2473d 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

danny8182473d 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.
