ModNation Racers thread (Double XP week til June 13th!)

My Jet Moto creations are live, as are a few of my TMB stuff. Feel free to rate & dl, srk.

edit: they deleted the page. basically it was a naked woman mod with man juice all over her face and body. disgusting as shit.

I’ve made a bunch of Mod-Karts myself but have been to lazy to publish or even take pics of them. When I do I’ll put them on here.

a few new things: ImageShack Album - 4 images

  1. Backwards Clown Guy.-- I kinda rushed thru this one simply due to some excitement over the concept itself… I should’ve made it a lot more creepy than it currently is.

2.the Bookie Bus.–name subject to change of course… that was a silly “placeholder” name.
3. Thwomp in a Suit. I have to admit I stole the idea for making a Thwomp from someone else though…I saw they used the paper back and the pyramids for spikes.
4. Captain Crappo driving the Bookie Bus. haha, notice the flies on the bus and Cpt. Crappo himself.

ok, I was finally able to check out the PSP version in person… and that saved me some money. It was a terrible 1st impression to say the least. It looks nice… as long as you aren’t actually racing, heh. Best Buy had this set up on the psp kiosk. What the hell happened to the speed?! I noticed this in the youtube vids, but it was sadly confirmed when I actually played it on the kiosk. It’s downright criminal what they did here. It’s like comparing the high-powered sports car that is the PS3 version to the bootleg Smart Car that some shady auto dealer is trying to pass off as a new “compact” Aston Martin or somethin’. At no point did it look like my car was going fast…it’s like you’re a little kid in a “Power Wheels” on the sidewalk trying to keep up with someone in a sports car. It was just sad. Any new people that happen to read this, please avoid the portable version and just get the ps3 version.

I made a new track: Turnbout Highway.

a mention of the upcoming patch:

ModNation Monday: Community Picks and Patch Update ? PlayStation Blog
*ah, it appears they are adding a “Casual” difficulty option in Career Mode. I forgot how much of the challenges I have done by this point, but it’s probably most of them with several grudge matches complete. Oh! I just remembered I still don’t have all the tokens yet… I’d get on that right now if I wasn’t so damn tired from work.

I haven’t played this in awhile though thanks to other games, but I still have so much more stuff to create…like “Piss Pot Pete”, various STDs made into characters, and all kinds of “in poor taste” things that would not last long online if published.

Haven’t posted here in a while. Just started playing this again. Too good.

Made a new kart:
Lecksis

Anyone got new track recommendations?

We never got together for that SRK race. We still need to do this, peeps, so post up if you’re down.

I’m down. I haven’t played this in a while, but I miss it.

I still haven’t beaten the Bonus challenge on Fracture. Rage.

EDIT: Disregard that, I finally beat that shit. Phew. And I didn’t even wait for the “Easy mode” career to come out.

I’m in. What day/time we shooting for?
I’m available Fri after 6pm (MST) & free all day on Sat.

Today was my first time playing in probably a few weeks. The recent update apparently boosted the Create XP quite a bit. Suddenly I got an extra 1000 from 1 of my creations, then all the others that had been downloaded were bringing in 100 points a piece…there were about 40-something messages I had where the game was telling me about this updated information…so just by going online today I was bumped up to level 22. hehe, nice.

I can’t find my usb drive at the moment, so I don’t have high quality pictures unfortunately, but my latest creation is Duke E. Greene: ModNation? Racers - DUKE E. GREENE

I gave him the Buuki-Bus to drive: ModNation? Racers - buuki-BUS

Oh yeah…That was fun, J-Nav. Haha, how 'bout I forgot how to even do the quick-start!? I had to look it up again on gamefaqs just now.

Here are the more detailed images of my new character Duke E. Greene and the Bookie-Bus: ImageShack Album - 5 images My other Crap-Allstars? were of the brown variety, so of course I had to throw a green one in there. It’s amazing to see the level of detail one can get with the characters and karts in this game, especially when you view the snapshots on a computer screen. This character looks absolutely disgusting…vile, repugnant, nasty…exactly what I was going for. I’m having fun with this one already.

*idea----ooooh, what about an Al Gore character, complete with a “Sex Poodle” car…YES. (*may have to be “S-Poodle1” something like that to get around the censor.) I must make it…in fact I may start that one up right now… I’ve already saved 2 or 3 pics of Al for reference.

ModNation Monday: Title Update 1.02 Releases August 4th, Brings Improvements ? PlayStation Blog

Nice…

So, everyone liking the updated MNR so far?

Yeah, was fun. I thought that was your strategy, not doing the quick-start, cause you beat me twice! :rofl:

Glad they finally fix the glitches & decreased load times!

well, I don’t see much of a difference in Casual mode…

Anyway, I went back to “Drift Paradise” for the #2 and 3 challenges, and that shit is still impossible to me. If you go for Wall Ride points, then say goodbye to 1st place. Sheeeit, say goodbye to FIFTH place. Going for those points means you’re taking the slowest damn path for the entire race…and it seems like Jez has “Speed + 10” + infinite boost whenever she feels like beating you by a good 10 to 12 second margin. I can either race “for real” and get 1st OR I can get the goddamn 4000 Wall Ride points and come in 5th or worse.

I’ll try with some different kart setting later, but this is still as frustrating as the last time I tried it back when I was “new” to the game.

My latest creation… Al Gore with the Sex-Poodle kart! (heh, notice he’s still “keeping it green!” with a green car + the solar panel engine!):
ImageShack Album - 4 images

Making a realistic face is more difficult than I imagined in this game, so Gore has a typical cartoon mod-face right now that isn’t really accurate. It will take much more time but I’ll go for a realistic Al Gore face later. I made the car first since I just unlocked the solar panel engine recently.

I should’ve gotten the Air Raid DLC when it was advertised. Sadly, I cannot edit any airplane body-type karts that are downloaded, apparently because I never got the Air Raid dlc. Even if the person left it “remixable”, the game won’t allow me to edit it.

The next Play/Create/Share thing----> I need one for the “beatemup” genre! Come on Sony, or whoever…MAKE IT HAPPEN. Please make it happen. I think a similar cartoony style (perhaps slightly larger body types though for more detailed fighting) to Modnation would work perfectly. I’d love every minute of it…designing the hero characters, the enemies, bosses, the stages, weapons, special/super moves, perhaps even the look of the powerups… vehicles too? It would be legendary…basically a new Streets of Rage/Final Fight/etc. where YOUR creations are the stars of the show once again. Someone out there please make this happen.

HELL YEAH! First place on Mt. Pain is DONE! Even on “casual” difficulty that was still completely ridiculous.
HELLLLL YEAH AGAIN! 5 Modbot challenge on Mt. Pain DONE. God bless the Casual difficulty setting. :rofl:

Let’s do this on a Saturday.

We should all be able to knock out that one trophy that requires you to invite 5 unique friends while doing this :slight_smile:

Not this coming Sat, though. I’m busy :frowning:

The update has gotten me back into MNR big time. I played it a ton yesterday. I grabbed all the DLCs and they’re all awesome. I like that Nukular mod. :rofl:

I’m liking the boosts to Create XP. 250K for the trophy is still too much, though. Now if only they boosted the amount of XP you get fro placing top 3 in races. Getting first only nets you 74 right now, which is crazy if you’re in your 20s trying to get to the next level.
