ModNations Racers is not only a Greatest Hits title, it has also achieved a huge milestone since the game was released. The game hit 1 million creations back in August 2010, and it’s taken only six months for users to create another million tracks, karts and mods.
On October 26th, ModNation Racers is getting the first of many track-enhancing part packs. The Stunt Pack is the first of the packs, and each one features a group of new parts to make the already amazing tracks out there even better. Best of all, the first pack is free to download for the next two weeks.
In less than three months since ModNations Racers was released, the online community has created and published over 1.1 million items of content. This means there were roughly 633 karts, mods, and tracks published per hour, which equates to roughly 15,000 creations published per day.
A new patch for ModNation Racers will be released this week, bringing many improvements to the game. The patch will be available to download on August 4th 2010 and will feature improved load times, a new “Casual” difficulty mode, as well as fixing bugs and exploits in the game. Check out the changelog below.
United Front Games have been working hard on the next ModNation Racers DLC, which is currently in the final stages of development. The new patch aims to further optimize the load times and also adds the ability to race a friend in the XP races, so you can level up and show-off to your friends at the same time.
United Front Games, the developers behind ModNation Racers, are currently working on a patch for the title to bring several improvements requested by gamers. The patch is currently in testing and will be submitted to the PlayStation Store after passing Quality Assurance and approval from Sony.
In our review of ModNation Racers, the biggest letdown for the game was the incredibly long loading times. SCEA has now confirmed that they are aware of the issues and are working on a patch. However, the patch won’t be available until after the game has launched according to Chuck Lacson, SCEA associate marketing manager.
We have recorded more footage of ModNation Racers for you to enjoy below. This time, we’ve taken a look at the Track Studio and have shown how easy it is to create a track and race on it. We also show how to create your own Mod (character) and Kart using the content you unlock in Career mode. Check out the three new videos below.
ModNation Racers has not been released to the public yet, but the game has already received it’s first patch. The patch updates the game to version v1.01 and is 28MB in size. Unfortunately, the changelog for the patch has not been revealed yet so we are unsure of what has changed in the game.
The PS3 version of ModNation Racers, the upcoming kart-racer from United Front Games, will be getting a demo soon. If you didn’t get a chance to join the Beta back in December, this will be your chance to try out the game before release. The demo doesn’t have a confirmed date yet but Chuck Lacson, Associate Product Marketing Manager for SCEA, did let slip that the demo will be available “very soon”.
