If you haven’t heard, we at San Diego Studio are proudly bringing the ModNation franchise to the much anticipated PlayStation Vita and we would like to tap into the brilliant minds that have conceived over two million amazing MNR creations by asking for your input. What do YOU think the title of the upcoming release should be? To help your creativity here are some details about the upcoming game.
- All PS3 user creations will be available on day one for the vita.
- Create a track in only seconds by drawing it with your finger.
- With the power of the back touch you can raise terrain with a simple touch. Likewise the front touch screen allows you to lower terrain in a simple yet powerful manner.
- The fun of ModNation kart racing remains intact with the advantage of dual analog sticks.
It is a great time for technology and the PS Vita gives you a wealth of tools to work with. And this is only the tip of the iceberg! We have much more exciting information to share with you in the upcoming months, so keep your eyes peeled here on the PlayStation.Blog and ModNation.com.
With that, let us know what YOU would name this game. Ask your mom, your dog, your “invisible friend” or just shoot us a title or two of your own and let’s see what happens! Who knows…. if we like it, we just may want to hook you up with some cool ModNation goodies!
Suggestions will only be collected from this blog post. Please leave your suggestions in the comments section below.
This ought to be fun! And now, back to your regularly scheduled ModNation Monday update!
NEW DLC: On The Zombie Bandwagon!

Let the freaks come out at night!

TEAM TRACK CHALLENGE: The Nation That Creates Together Stays Together!
A short while ago we presented a Team Track Challenge to the ModNation community. We randomly placed interested participants together in teams of three with a goal a designing one united track for each team. Teams consisted of MNR “Hall of Famers” and rookie first time track builders to see what they could dream up. We wondered if players could truly PLAY CREATE and SHARE together. Final verdict – YOU’D BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!
Below are five of our favorites that will be showcased in Top Tracks all this week. Do yourself a favor and run a few races with you and your friends. These are truly gems in the ModNation crown. Congrats to ALL the teams on their tracks and the fun they had working together.

Creations of the Week
Track of The Week:
Land of Myths by manlius10a
If someone can make a better track next week or this month, I will be VERY surprised! Players constantly ask me what I look for in a track, this is it! ABSOLUTELY beautiful environment and a great, intense race. I love the little touches like the sunlight angle. At high noon this track would look totally different and this choice makes the colors so rich and saturated, those are the small things that can take a track from a 4 star to a 5 star in my opinion.

ModNation Racers: In It To Win It
Modnation Racers Vertical. Since changing the y-axis using the touchscreens is a bullet point, and the V also ties it back into the system name.
Here are my suggestions, in no particular order. Number 1 and 8 are my favorites.
1. ModNation Racers: All Over the Map (MNR:AOM)
2. ModNation Racers: Near and Far (MNR:NF)
3. ModNation Racers: Pole to Pole (MNR:P2P or MNR:PP)

Modnation Racers: Go!
Modnation Racers: Journey
Modnation: Link
Modnation: Green Light
Modnation: Starting Lap
Modnation Racers: Speed Lap
ModNations: Sprint
I’d drop the ‘Racers’ out of the name because it’s a bit redundant. Few racing games these days actually say ‘Racing’ in them, and the box art should deem it fairly obvious a racing game. ModNations is the iconic part of the current name, and there wouldn’t be a notice in difference because ‘Racers’ was missing from the title.
‘Sprint’ implies fast paced, quick, and exciting racing. It’s also fairly general, so tracks and dlc could take place elsewhere. There shouldn’t ever be a moment where ModNations should be slow, and I doubt there ever will be; so I think ModNations: Sprint fits the bill.
ModNation: ReVitalized
Modnation Racers : ReVamped
Modnation Racers :Ultimate Vita Edition
ModNation Racers :Vita Enhanced Edition (or V.E.E.)
