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

Time to finally hit 30, then.

I really, really wish they’d redo a portable version of this on the PSP2 (NGP)! The new portable looks powerful enough to handle a PROPER port of Modnation. I tried this game on PSP and it just left me with crushing disappointment. A proper, accurate portable version of Modnation would seriously be the most addictive game of all time for me… being able to make more and more characters and race anywhere? I would not be able to resist that.

Anyone’s settings preference changed recently? I’m still running + 1 speed most of the time…neutral for drift/handling. If I put anything on that d/h stat, my preference is for drift, so it would be +1 drift. I still think a +2 takes too much away from the stat on the other side.

Of course, the latest addition to my roster, Lord Aizen Sosuke (driving a “Kurohitsugi” car.)…well, he has +INFINITY on every stat…because that’s just how he rolls.

Holy shit, dreams do come true… they just announced this shit on the Sony conference! Modnation is indeed coming to PSV!!! That’s a done deal for me, I’ll get PSV immediately, even if the system’s price ends up being completely ridiculous.

Really, the new game looks incredible… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lejty2xH53c <—here, you can see some new weapons in the later part of the video…a freeze weapon, and what appears to be a “Phoenix” that burns the hell out of everyone?! Niiiiice.

*I hit level 26 today… hell yeah, three cheers for that delicious DOUBLE XP week madness!

*Also… Arctic Tour DLC is definitely worth it. There’s quite a bit of new creation materials in there, including 2 new kart types… a Zamboni (called the “Ice Resurfacer”) and a snow plow vehicle. Heh, I’ve already beat all those challenges and found all the tokens in there.

*After dealing with some extremely tough competition earlier, I’ve gone back to a neutral speed setting just to have slightly better acceleration. The more chaotic a race is, the more you need to have some decent/good acceleration.

New weapons look insane. I like it. I like it a lot.

cheh,

I’ve been playing this game all day, man. I actually started over the career path on my alternate psn account. At first it was to boost my main account’s XP by downloading a few things (*1 of my karts was at 9 downloads, so this extra 1 got me the trophy), then I got wrapped up in career mode. It’s funny how easy this is compared to when it was all new to me. The AI is getting absolutely demolished by me every time, and it’s glorious…currenly playing as a new creation “Pukemon”… I’m up to about 158 created characters at this point on the main account.

I’ve already made “Mullet Edition” Aizen Sosuke (heh, simply because it’s an easy character design)… now I need to make the “Clark Kent form” Aizen of course. Mullet Edition drives the Kurohitsugi car… Classic Aizen might be assigned the “Train of Reason & Logic” as his regular ride. (aka “The Troll Train”?)

…also started on an Oscar the Grouce design, bu i’s difficult since you can’t really make a fuzzy or excessively hairy character. Oscar without a “messy hair” grimey look just looks stupid.
