Caris Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Hope they fix the technical issues in this, load times are a joke.
MATtheHAT Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah they are far too long. Also, this kind of game should be running 60fps no problem. One of the quick race tracks chugs along at I would guess around 10. Also, the handling could do with a bit of fine-tuning. But thats what a beta is for I suppose, iron out any flaws before the final release.
Tyson Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Glad its not just me who thought that. Even when it finished loading it was slow, and it leaves you bringing up a thousand menus to figure out the controls.
flameboy Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 well my download finished late last night so not had chance yet, out tonight but will play it over the weekend.
ShavenWolf Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 DAMMIT!!! It's not on there anymore.... gutted.... I wanted to take part in ultra-long load times blended with some fun moddy-racing!
Stewilo2005 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know if i'll still be able to download it? I went on last night and started to download it but couldn't finish it due to internet problems. It's still on my list for transactions in my PSN. The reason I ask now is, i'm in uni and cannot test this myself. Edited January 22, 2010 by Stewilo2005
Daft Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Yeh you will. Just go to your download history. If you started downloading it you've pretty much reserved your place.
Stewilo2005 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Woo xD, Now to wait till the end of this pointless day and get home to try it.
tapedeck Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Hope they fix the technical issues in this, load times are a joke. QFT. And...with the track editor this is driving me mad: I've sculpted the landscape first then when you go to add the track it just randomly drops the racer just anywhere on the sculpted landscape. Sadly though it is ALWAYS in the water when I do it. So the racer just sinks to the bottom of the sea. Really effing frustrating. Especially when you've made a water world of sorts. Thus I have to build the track first and then edit the landscape around it. I'll have another go later and see if this is possible. Otherwise I actually like the game. Reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing rather than Mario Kart. Which is obviously good in my eyes. Still...hope there are tunnels/caves in the final version.
tapedeck Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I've thoroughly enjoyed the beta yet I'd love to see what the single player mode is like as the edit mode is actually quite shallow. Like say, LBP, would be nice to create your own items or structures.
Aimless Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 If anyone didn't grab the Beta whilst it was on the Store I've a spare code going. If you want it then speak up.

Cookyman Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Source - playstationblog ModNation Racers Release Date, Pre-Orders and Box Art! Posted by Chuck Lacson // Associate Product Marketing Manager, SCEA If you’ve been keeping up with the Blog or recent preview coverage, you know ModNation Racers is continuing the Play, Create and Share movement allowing both PS3 and PSP owners to design their own racers, karts and best of all, custom tracks! Creations can then be raced with friends (four-player split-screen confirmed!) and uploaded to the rest of the PlayStation Network! But the question is: When will it hit store shelves? Well it’s official! ModNation Racers on both PS3 and PSP releases May 25! On top of this, we kick off our official pre-order program today with participating retailers. That’s right! Ratchet and Clank, Nathan Drake, and Kratos have officially been Mod’ed! Depending on where you pre-order your copy, you’ll get to race with one of your favorite characters. Pre-order from GameStop and score Kratos and his Kart of Chaos! Pre-order from Amazon and race as Ratchet or Clank! Pre-order from Best Buy and score Nathan Drake and his Jungle Jeep! On top of this, each pre-order gets an additional BONUS Mystery Mod and Kart package that include not just a special Mod and Kart, but additional accessories that you can use to make your own creations! Four possibilities in total, and just like a vinyl figure you buy in stores, you won’t know which one you get until you download it and see for yourself. Wondering what they could be? We will reveal them soon enough! Just look for a future post right here on the Blog. So there you go! Pre-order today and you might be racing with your favorite PlayStation character! To make sure you know which box to grab on May 25, here is a sneak peek at our packfront!
dwarf Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 They ditched the Play.Create.Share slogan from the box then? Will probably be on the back.
tapedeck Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 If the framerate is sorted this is a must buy for me. Hopefully everything is polished and downloads won't take an age. Otherwise it's looking fab. Enjoyed the limited beta too.
canand Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I want to pre-order this game but I want Nathan Drake and his Jungle Jeep I dont now who is doing it Amazon UK (*Get a Ratchet and Clank Mod Pack when you pre-order this from Amazon.co.uk*) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-ModNation-Racers-PS3/dp/B003DNSQO8/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2 Play.com ModNation (w/ UK Exclusive In Game Kratos Character Unlock Code) http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/10296367/ModNation/Product.html

flameboy Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 We have Best Buys in England? they are apparently coming here...but not anytime soon I don't think...
canand Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Could it hurt to read the entire quote? Best Buy is a USA shop I live in UK.
Emerald Emblem Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Then until announced otherwise, lets assume it's an American exclusive pre-order. Edited March 25, 2010 by Emerald Emblem
Goafer Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 We will get all the characters in the UK Hi all, Last week SCEA announced their Preorder plan as well as confirming their release date, while I told you that we are releasing the same week. Well I can finally reveal the European Preorder packs and over the coming weeks I will be able to let you know where you will be able to pick up each pack in your country. So lets confirm the following: * Yes we will have Kratos * Yes we will have Drake * Yes we will have Ratchet &Clank No confirmation of which characters are available where though.
tapedeck Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Just like LBP I think the price of this could plummet after release....Just a vibe I'm getting.
Ashley Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 We have Best Buys in England? 6 are opening this spring across the UK. Pretty sure one is in London. (bastards said I wasn't qualified to be a till jockey. Lying cunts.) Oh wait, no; Aintree, Liverpool Hedge End, Southampton Lakeside, Thurrock Merry Hill, West Midlands No idea why one is opening (3 miles) down the road from me and not London.
