And although they didn't confirm it, Mod Nation Racers appeared to be a PSN game. Once the racing started, it looked like pretty standard Mario Kart-style gameplay, with power slides and weapon pick-ups. Like LBP, it all at least appeared to be pretty intuitive and easy to use. Once the track is set, players can change the track type (making portions of it into a dirt track, for instance), add scenery items on the sides like trees and houses, and place power-up items on the track itself. As it was demonstrated on stage, a player lays out the track itself by driving around a large expanse, with the track being laid out behind them.

Indeed, the game basically looks like a cross between LBP and Mario Kart - players create and customize their own karts and racers, and the big hook is a track editor. At their E3 press conference today, they announced Mod Nation Racers, a kart racing game inspired by Little Big Planet, and with a heavy emphasis on player-created content.ĭeveloped by United Front Games, they're making Mod Nation Racers in the "play, create, share" model of Little Big Planet. For everyone who thought the world didn't need one more kart racing game, Sony seems intent to prove you wrong - and they're using inspiration from a critically acclaimed PlayStation 3 game to do it.
