Daft Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 There are framerate issues and the loading is a little long and the online didn't seem to be working when I tried... But the racing is rock solid. It's got powersliding and all. It pretty much is like Mario Kart except you can't snake. After a bit of powersliding the boost kicks in. The customisation is immense. I haven't tried track customisation, not sure it's in the beta, but the cars and the little people are ace. Also, I take back what I said about the little people being charmless, they are ace. From what I can tell of the tracks that are included, track creation is going to be pretty comprehensive. The important thing is the racing feels fun.

Daft Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Looks like there'll be a bit of a story with the career mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most important thing, I was kinda worried that the racing experience may be lacking but sounds like that perhaps is not the case.

Daft Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yeah, it's alleviated my worries. The camera seems a bit close to the racer but you get used to it pretty quickly. Can't wait to try some online races. I'd definitely play this online. No problem. FPSs are a bit too intense for me to bother online but racing, I'm all for.

Daft Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just did an online race and found the track editor. The online was fun. Didn't seem like many people were online. There is a hub, like in Diddy Kong Racing where you access everything, career mode, online race, time trial etc. So it isn't really menu based, which I love. Also, the hub is linked online so I bumped into another racer while I was in it which was pretty cool. Also, all the electronic boards in the hub have up to date info. Also, I found the track editor and literally within 5 minutes I created an awesome track and had a race on it against 7 bots. It's a breeze to do. My one concern is the inability to edit the width of the track. Otherwise, I'm now officially excited for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Took me 5 minutes to make a good track. It took me about a week to make a crap LBP level. There's even an auto complete option and an auto populate option (which puts items and stuff in). They couldn't have made it any easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 It started doing that once they ran out of codes apparently. Anyway, I've got a spare theme code for anyone who can make a decent trade for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choze Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Use the codes on the US account. Euro beta is next year but it will be a better version at least. Right now imo its got a alot of slowdown. servers are crashing constantly. Havent had one online race yet. Customisation is excellent. Controls are abit fiddly for my liking. Would prefer face buttons for accelerate and boost. but it works so far. Looking promising but i havent tested multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choze Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have to say its quite good. But its odd that you keep trying new tracks all the time. Its chaotic and part of the appeal is to master tracks which seems hard to do... Perhaps different skills will prevail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
