This really is what Modnation Racers should've been in the first place.

Looks solid.

 

[SykoTech]

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!

It's on PS3, so you're in kuck.

 

[Kyoufu]

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.

It's top down RC I think.

 

[VanWinkle]

I really loved the look of that, but since it is United Front, it will most likely and unfortunately be 30 fps and have long load times.

 

[Prinny]

I'll buy it if it's possible to make a Rosalina sackboy. Or a penguin.

Spoiler

Or a penguin Rosalina.

 

[Xater]

United Front is behind this.

All my hype is gone.

We have known that for a while. I think it looks better than Modnation Racers.

 

[Teppic]

Modnation Racers was great, and this looks even better.

 

[RoylAsult]

wow, cmon VITA!!

 

[Gravijah]

not bad. hope it turns out good.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Did we know United Front Games was making this? Nice to see them get some more work but let's hope they don't repeat the same mistakes they made with MNR (super long loading being the main one, though I disliked the floaty physics in the beta I played). The LBP art style alone is a huge improvement though.

I think my biggest problem with this is that it throws MNR Vita under the bus. Why even bother with more MNR games when you've already ditched it on console? It makes absolutely no sense. Did the PSN monkey get promoted to co-ordinating first party games?

 

[mescalineeyes]

We have known that for a while. I think it looks better than Modnation Racers.

I haven't so now it's my time to be bummed.

and yes, it looks a metric eff-ton better than MNR. Let's hope they've learned from their mistakes.

 

[Shiloa]

I hope they really tighten up the controls. I enjoyed MNR but its handling wasn't brilliant. A kart racer needs to have very tight controls, Sonic and Sega ASR is probably the best recent example.

 

[Ninja Moomin]

:O


Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Want.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

That looks really fun, especially the battle mode.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

will need a sweet tooth sack boy for battlemode

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

This really is what Modnation Racers should've been in the first place.

Exactly. That game is headache Inducing.

 

[nelsonroyale]

First person view looks great. Would love to see this on VITA

 

[EhrgeizVII]

Looks great. A Vita version would seem like the ultimate competition for Mario Kart DS. Maybe we'll see more at E3, but consider me interested nonetheless!

 

[The Praiseworthy]

I wasn't interested at all.... but after seeing this, COME TO PAPA

 

[plainr_]

Looks very good.

Sackboy is adorable unlike those MNR characters. Those were disgusting to look at.

 

[Ushojax]

This is what Modnation should have been in the first place.

 

[The Omega Man]

what frame rate is it running at? it looked choppy and with some bad slow-downs, can we expect the game to run at 60fps or is that too much to ask?

 

[Epcott]

Wasn't excited for this until I saw the battle mode and boss fight agaisnt that centipede truck in the Pac-manesque level.

I would love to play a battle game of capture the flag using karts. I hope the eventual Vita version is online too.

 

[jett]

ModNation was 30fps, I assume this is using the same engine, so probably is still 30fps.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Seems to be using LBP engine as opposed to MNR one tbh. It looked really really good. Specially that part with the hood cam, hope that's available in the game.

 

[Boogalogist]

Whoaa...looks like great..LBP is one of the better IP I like this generation.

BOUGHT!

 

[Comet]

I love LBP, and I love kart racing. Yup, I'll be getting this.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Looks awesome.

I've played as much Mario Kart Wii as I can, time for something new.

 

[jett]

It'd make zero sense for UFG to ditch their MNR engine.

 

[Bomber Bob]

looks fun

 

[Mr Swine]

Looks good, but honestly this could have been a DLC instead of a brand new game

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Yeah, this better come to Vita.

 

[Gacha-pin]

[SykoTech]

I hope UFG have improved the items as well. Again, I've just played MNR's demo, so I'm probably not the most fit to judge. But the items there didn't seem that hot at all. Pretty lame actually.

There was no BS Blue Shell at least. Still, I hope LBP Karting does better in tht department. Trailer seems promising.

 

[Boogalogist]

Yeah, this better come to Vita.

Better be on both!! Remote play!

 

[codhand]

¿Cuanto cuesta?

 

[dallow_bg]

because the LBP brand is more established.

I think you misread his post.

Just like in Mario Kart!

 

[AwRy108]

Completely forgot about this title.

I like how it's made by the same people that made ModNation Racer.

...which means the load times will ruin the entire experience.

It would be nice if the game automatically detected all your costumes from LBP and LBP2.

...you're quite the dreamer, aren't you? NEWS FLASH: they're going to sell you everything a second time.

 

[krae_man]

Now we'll never get our Uncharted Kart racer

Looks cool though.

 

[mescalineeyes]

...you're quite the dreamer, aren't you? NEWS FLASH: they're going to sell you everything a second time.

They didn't with LBP2. Why start being jackasses now?

 

[SykoTech]

...you're quite the dreamer, aren't you? NEWS FLASH: they're going to sell you everything a second time.

Can't tell if you're joking or not, but they didn't do that with LBP2 or LBP Vita.

 

[Ranger X]

Can't wait to see the create mode. This is the feature that will decide if I buy or not.
I hope it's not like Modnation Racer and more like LittleBigPlanet

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

So much potential.

Officially on my radar.

 

[Nightz]

Battle mode has me sold. I just hope they improve load times.

 

[Yjynx]

Hope we get PS3 and Vita cross play.

This.

Seriously it would be VERY awesome if we get Vita version and also able to use it to cross play with PS3. Don't miss this opportunity Sony!

 

[Metalmurphy]

It'd make zero sense for UFG to ditch their MNR engine.

It wouldnt if theyre using lbp assets. It just looks very much like lbp2, lighting, mlaa, dof, smoke effects, etc.

MNR looked very capable, and had all sorts of effects too(including motion blur). It's just MNR with a new coat of paint.

 

[AgentP]

Looks great, like every other LBP game. Now my most anticipated game of 2012.

From the blog:

Hi iriihutoR48, the team here hears you load and clear on the importance of load times. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you get your hands on LBPK

I bet they just started with LBP2 engine and assets and went about making a kart racer. LBP2 has everything they need.

 

[deejay8595]

This actually looks cool!
