I didn't play MDR beyond the demo, so I don't know exactly how much in there is new and how much is just a reskinned version of that game, but it looks all right. I really enjoyed the controls in MDR, it's the loading times that really killed my intent of purchase. I hope they've fixed that here.

Kyoufu · Mar 22, 2012

This looks good :O

Pie and Beans · Mar 22, 2012

An honest to god proper battle mode has sold me, big time. FINALLY.

Ragus · Mar 22, 2012

For me, the trailer screams: VITA.

Looks fine.

Mik2121 · Mar 22, 2012

Completely forgot about this title.

I like how it's made by the same people that made ModNation Racer. It would be nice if the game automatically detected all your costumes from LBP and LBP2.

GameE · Mar 22, 2012

I just saw this, not sure what to think but not as bad as I thought it would be.

Suzzopher · Mar 22, 2012

That looks like a lot of funny actually.

The_Darkest_Red · Mar 22, 2012

I love a good Kart Racer but I really grew sour to the LBP series over time. The concept and style of the games was very impressive at first but the games had terrible platformer mechanics at their core. If this game manages to avoid a similar pitfall then it might be worth checking out.

Only time will tell.

aknbad30 · Mar 22, 2012

Will buy! Hope its for Vita too!

NateDrake · Mar 22, 2012

Looks like a LBP game in a Kart. Not sure what to think just yet.

snoopeasystreet · Mar 22, 2012

Looks great but makes me wonder why they made mod nation racers in the first place. Should have been this from the beginning.

Nibel · Mar 22, 2012

Looks adorable

darkwing · Mar 22, 2012

why is this not on Vita

TheBioLover · Mar 22, 2012

Hope we get PS3 and Vita cross play.

Mims · Mar 22, 2012

As long as they don't kill this game with long load times like modnation I will be on it day one.

Blablurn · Mar 22, 2012

looks like LBP on karts. not bad.

Alex Connolly · Mar 22, 2012

Intrigued...although when it comes to kart racers on the horizon, it's hard to divert my excitement away from the Sonic & SEGA Allstars Racing sequel.

Goldrusher · Mar 22, 2012

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/03/22/littlebigplanet-karting-coming-to-ps3/

Our goal with LBP Karting has been fairly simple provide a fast-paced experience that captures the best of classic Karting gameplay, married with the unbridled creativity of LBP. This new adventure will be accessible to players of all ages and have all of the variety necessary to satisfy both the hardcore and more casual players.

This is an LBP game, so we could never talk about it without mentioning the create tools. LBP Karting is set in an entirely 3D world allowing players to create rich and varied gameplay experiences. Tons of familiar LBP gadgets will be present, along with a brand new toolbox specifically tailored to allow for building in LBP Kartings 3D world. Along with fan favorite racing and battle modes, players will be able to modify the rules of the game itself to create completely new modes and challenges. All of this is wrapped up in a community experience that should have LBP fans feeling right at home.

BadWolf · Mar 22, 2012

Looks really good.

On the one hand this should have happened day 1 and not Modnation Racers but on the other I'm sure they learned a lot from mistakes made on that one.

Corto · Mar 22, 2012

Looks like a riot of fun. This makes Modnation Racers rather redundant though.

Jinfash · Mar 22, 2012

Dare I say... eww?

It's obviously nowhere near completion, but as of now it screams "jank."

Rootbeer · Mar 22, 2012

Usually when I see these type of Mario Kart inspired games I am immediately turned off. But when something is good, it's simply good. And this looks... GOOD!

Echoing the hopes for a VITA version. Please, Sony!

SykoTech · Mar 22, 2012

Looks great. Very happy to see them announce things like Battle Mode and splitscreen multiplayer right off of the bat. That 2D racing part looks neat as well. I also like how they incorporated LBP items like the grappling hook in there.

Just please have custom controls this time. Or at least a setup that let's me use X for gas and a trigger to drift. The lack of that kept me away from ModNation, despite all the great things I heard. Using R2 to drive in a kart racer just felt awkward, no matter how many times I tried the demo.

Alrus · Mar 22, 2012

Looks pretty nice but it is baffling they didn't make this instead of ModNation in the first place.

because the LBP brand is more established.

SykoTech · Mar 22, 2012

If this game does come out on Vita, it probably won't be for awhile. ModNation did just come out at launch. I don't see them putting out two kart racers on the Vita in the same year.

Load times are my biggest concern as well

WillyFive · Mar 22, 2012

It seems like a clear improvement over Modnation Racers; but we still don't know what the loading screens and game engine is like. Hopefully both change drastically from Modnation Racers.

Atolm · Mar 22, 2012

Looks very good to me.

y2dvd · Mar 22, 2012

Honestly wasn't a fan of LBP but this looks like a lot of fun. Don't plan on getting a Vita so I hope it's on the PS3 or both!

Was going to say this EXACTLY, lol.

BruiserBear · Mar 22, 2012

I'm definitely intrigued. Just hope the racing gameplay feels right.

I'm already fearful of launch day impressions like "the racing parts are awesome, but then they keep throwing in these platforming bits, which break up the flow. I wish I could just race, uninterrupted".

xxczx · Mar 22, 2012

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to look that good.

Day one.

panty · Mar 22, 2012

Holy crap, that looks like awesome. Hopefully this is for both, the triple and Vita. Definitely interested.

gogogow · Mar 22, 2012

Wheels goes through the kart. They need to fix that.

Yeah, not a big deal but that did jump out at me.

rouken · Mar 22, 2012

what's the modnation community gonna say about this?

looks great by the way, they should've done this in the first place.

Salih · Mar 22, 2012

will put this game on my watch-list.

Man-is-Obsolete · Mar 22, 2012

Looks awesome! Make it happen for the vita!

Visualante2 · Mar 22, 2012

Doesn't get the blood pumping the way Little Big Planet's original reveal did.

Seems like they've finally fixed the floaty controls from LBP though. Good for them.

Oh man, insta-buy if they did this.

Kenshin001 · Mar 22, 2012

I bought MNR, made a couple of tracks, raced a few times and then promptly stopped playing it. If they had released this in the first place I probably would have gotten it but now I can't see that happening unless it gets a big community.

mescalineeyes · Mar 22, 2012

United Front is behind this.

All my hype is gone.

JustAnotherOtaku · Mar 22, 2012

Looks better than I was expecting. I'll buy it on PS3 but would also love to see it on Vita.

Acquiescence · Mar 22, 2012

I will lap this up, I just know it. Looks absurdly fun.

Inanna · Mar 22, 2012

Love me some LBP goodness, and the trailer looked awesome so definitely going to get day 1. Hopefully this is gonna be mad fun just like the previous LBP games.

Captain_Spanky · Mar 22, 2012

I HAVE A HAPPY FACE

botty · Mar 22, 2012

I do not play the LBP games (first one was too floaty for me), but I was certain they had some sort of racing/karting in LBP2.
