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

SRK MODNATION EVENT I

I sent a message on PSN to every SRKer that has MNR. Check it out asap. Those of you who play MNR and do not have me on your lists need to add me asap.

Doing a SRK MNR event tomorrow (Saturday, 8/14). Around 7pm EST time. It’s gonna be a couple of race series, then a championship series. Tracks will be a mix of UFG tracks and user-created tracks OF MY CHOOSING, because this is pretty last notice and we don’t have time to do votes. The next event, people will get to vote on tracks.

The winner of the entire thing will get a mod and kart created specifically for them by yours truly. In the PSN message, I only mentioned a kart, but a mod is part of the prize. 2nd and 3rd place get squat except bragging rights :rofl:

If someone has a capture device, it would be epic if they could record and post the event up here or something.

AHA! Wallride challenged completed!!! After WEEKS of this bullshit, finally…

Oh and I got the drifting challenge at the same time…BOOYAH that’s my trophy right there…all challenges done.

My character “French Tickler” was the one to finally be victorious and snag this trophy. I recently changed his outfit, but he isn’t published yet.

New creation ideas come to mind:
Fat Cat from Rescue Rangers (I just looked up a few pictures for reference)
Random M.A.D. Agent from Inspector Gadget
The Cheshire Cat
a Licker from Resident Evil 2?
Jayce from DBZ
John Wayne Gacy in the clown makeup
Roobear from The Little Koala
Sam the security guard from Today’s Special–heh, talk about obscure… hardly anyone would even know/remember this one.
Ebenezer from Pinwheel, perhaps?

raced online for the first time last night. man, that shit was so much fun. now i see the hype. i haven’t even played through the career mode but i hope not all tracks are short.

i’m down for the srk race. i’ll probly be last on every race :rofl:

Million, your Mayuri is on point!

edit: i still haven’t seen a good Naruto mod yet. all of em suck. someone should make a 4th hokage mod too.

I’ll need to delete and publish the later one though. I think that version of Mayuri didn’t have the purple scarf thing. Also, I forgot to make that…“coat”(a haori? I forgot what those are called) long.

It’s so ON now… it took awhile but I just finished up making Colonel Sanders! It came out surprisingly good if I do say so myself; I’m satisfied with the result. It was also good practice at making a more realistic face with this game’s customization tools. Of course, I made a KFC car for him to race in style. Pictures later of course; I haven’t even published this one yet. It could probably be done with less, but I ended up using about 35 or so stickers for that face!

*sidenote— I’m wondering if they’ll ever add motorcycles thru DLC or just save that as an idea for the sequel?
Other kart-body ideas… I’d like to see a hovercraft body, or perhaps a boat (viking style, or a modern yacht!), a “flying saucer UFO” (hovering would be nice but I figure this might not work with the current programming…I’d be cool with a UFO on wheels too), chariots, a mine-cart, steamroller, etc. etc. There’s so many interesting possibilities out there just waiting to show up in the magical world that is Modnation.

I haven’t received any responses on PSN besides SuicidalGrandpa’s. This is going down in an hour and a half, people. Lemme know if I should just call it off or not.

oh I’ll be on in a bit. I might whip up a new little SRK kart just for the occasion!

I’m gonna drive my old SRK Kart for this one. :rofl:

Should be good times.

Fuu I’m not sure if I can make it tonight. I’ve gotta go pick up some stuff from a friend that lives pretty damn far away, and then finish up packing for my trip. I’ll try and hop on asap, but if I don’t… enjoy! :tup:

I left town on short notice, sorry I couldn’t be there. Can we have a race next weekend?

It was great fun, that track with the giant tank is incredible! The customization in this game is truly off the damn charts. This is why no other racer could possibly compete with this game, imo. The depth of customization on characters, cars and tracks boosts the replay value way beyond any other games with no customization. I still haven’t even played around with the track creation tools…the tank level leads me to wonder what other kind of amazing tracks are possible.

ya’ll are too fuckin good. jesus is no match. and the final score was wrong SWBeta, i got 2nd place ONCE :rofl: thanks again for setting it all up. we def gotta do it again
yea that tank track is fuckin amazing. i fell off 10x

i’ll still suck cuz i’ve spent more time dl mods than racing heh

I’m still not 100% set on what the ideal kart setting is though. The usual for me is +1 Drift and neutral 0 on the TopSpeed/Acceleration stat, or +1Drift/+1 Top Speed. It’s interesting to me how apparently balanced it is that this becomes such a tough dilemma. I think a +2 may put a person at too much of a handicap on the other stat though…it also depends on how frequently item usage comes into play (*the more vicious everyone is with weapons, the more the “high top speed” stat becomes a problem since you will need good acceleration to get back after being hit; obviously a high top speed means your acceleration sucks), and you can’t really predict that aspect of the race until it’s already going on.

*the only thing left for me in Career now is to beat Jez in the grudge match.

*what in the hell?! So “KFC” is censored as well?: ModNation? Racers - ***-1 I guess it’s because that’s a brand name or something? Ah, whatever. It would’ve been nice if the game warned me that this name was going to be censored before I published it. Now I’ll most likely have to unpublish and re-post it with some other name…maybe “KentuckyFried-1” or something, or just “Fried-1”…yeahhhhh…

new mod ideas coming soon:
My Buddy (that Chucky-looking doll from the 80s!)…I could put him in a “Power Wheels” kart
Dennis the Menace
George Jefferson
Bobby Bear from Mapletown
David the Gnome?
Mr. Slate (Fred Flinstone’s boss!)
Sinistar! I just got a good idea on how to do that one…

You could just call it “Kentucky Fried 1” or something.

My bro lended the game to his friend and I haven’t played the game in a while. Will try to get it back by the end of the month and join u fellas for some racers.

Mouse Trap with that cheese block car will be DLC tomorrow! I know that was a pre-order bonus, but it’s great for me since I didn’t get that originally. (*and you can’t edit a kart that was a pre-order or other “special” thing like that if you didn’t get the original…it’s like the airplane kart situation. I didn’t get the air raid DLC that various sites were advertising, so even if I download a “remixable” plane from someone, I still can’t edit it, presumably because I didn’t get Air Raid in the first place.)

Oh yeah, they apparently fixed the issue with extra publish slots not appearing… I got about 20 extra slots when getting online with the game a little while ago! Hell yeah…so I’ve published a lot of stuff just now, and I still have some slots left over. I’ve uploaded “Dr. Tickles”(formerly known as simply “French Tickler”… I figure the new name might be vague enough to avoid that character getting banned or whatever. Yes; this character was envisioned to be a living french tickler.), Broccoli Bob, Evil Teletubby, Psycho Ronald, Hamburgular, Booger Bear, along with a few cars. The “Blood Bus” ( http://community.modnation.com/en-us/players/ZoomSurtr/creations/1812453 ) was intended to be Evil Teletubby’s vehicle of choice. Then there’s Ronald and Hamburgular’s cars…oh yeah and Booger Bear’s legendary car…The Snotbox.

Yeah, the SRK MNR Event was a ton of fun. It was just me, Million, and boom! this first time, and it was too good. I think next time though, I’ll only have 2 series of 4 instead of 4 series of 4. 4 is too long, lol.

We’re doing this again THIS COMING SATURDAY, SAME TIME (7 PM EST). I wanna make this a weekly thing, but that all depends on you guys. I’ll post up official rules/guidelines later on.

lololol Boom!, you got 3rd so many times that I automatically assumed you got third every race :rofl:
Won’t happen again lolololol

Yeah, I do a lot of surfing on MNR’s track servers looking for SICK tracks to play on. That tank track will be a staple track in the SRK series, for sure.

I sent invites to some people in this thread, accept it if you want to race with us this weekend.

haha it’s all good man. it should def be a wkly thing. though i can’t make it this week.

have you played this guy’s tracks? haven’t got the chance but they look really good.

and what’s that site you’re talkin about so i can complain about joining friend’s room via splitscreen.

ah yes…I bought the cheese-block car and mouse guy mod last night. Someone already beat me to the punch quite awhile ago on using it as a kart for Dangermouse though. I’m still on the fence aout the princess carriage kart though…eh, I may as well get that since I have enough $ leftover in my psn “wallet”.

It would be nice if they released that old “Model T” looking kart that can be seen on a blue loading screen…it’s also shown in the cinema scene where they show “the early days of modnation racing”.

:rofl:

Those were the tracks that kept kicking you and Million out of the game. I wanted to race on them so bad.

The Modnation Monday links should be on the page before this. Just post in the comments section and hope they read it.

Edit: Mouse Trap & Kart is a very good DLC. Enjoying it and Nukular & Kart a lot.

^that’s a damn shame. he’s made a ton of tracks already.

i posted on that link already, no response :sad:
