Hi everyone, Ramone Russell here with a bit of ModNation Racers news. All great games deserve their own website and ModNation Racers is no different. Today we are excited to reveal the Community Website. (For those who haven’t stumbled across it during our soft launch)
Community.ModNation.com is your one stop shop for all things ModNation Racers when you aren’t taking down Espresso in your career or trying to break the Hot Lap time for the day in the ModSpot. Interacting with ModNation Racer’s web community is only the tip of the iceberg. You can search/view all the top rated Karts, Mods, and Tracks from both the PS3 and PSP versions of ModNation Racers. In addition, Hot Lap, XP, and Race leaderboards from the game are searchable here as well.
ModNation Racer’s community portal was built mostly in house here at the San Diego Studio. The San Diego Online Development team started working on ModNation Racers’ community portal over 6 months ago with heavy involvement and input from United Front Games. Providing everyone a seamless experience from the game to the game’s website was one of our goals from day one.
Browsing creations and viewing the leaderboards are just a fraction of the features included in the site. You can also visit the forums and interact with other members of the ModNation Racers community, including members of the development team at UFG. In the coming months we will introduce new features to the site, many of which will come from community requests. It’s also a great place to provide feedback and let us know what you think about ModNation Racers.
The home page of ModNation Racers Community Portal. Here you can browse the Top 5 Mods/Karts/Tracks, view yesterdays Hot Lap Champ and Top Players. It’s also where you can create your personalized signature.
By clicking on the Creations tab you can browse thousands of community created Mods, Karts, and Tracks using the same search options found in the circle menu.
The Leaderboards tab allows you to browse by Hot Lap, Race, Creation, and XP.
Your personalized profile card displays all of your stats and the Mods/Karts you have uploaded to the servers.
Last but certainly not least, ModNation Racers official forums. Be sure to check weekly for official ModNation Racers news and event updates from the development team.
Well, that’s all from me for now. We look forward to seeing you in the ModSpot and on Community.ModNation.com.
Me and my low-rider
P.S. Ready for a new Kart or Mod? Every 2 weeks we will be introducing new Mods and Karts on the PSN! Each comes with new accessories you can use for your own creations.
We kicked things of with Van Man and his Super Nova Kart.
Tomorrow “Vamp” hits the track in a Kart fitting for the undead. A new Mod or Kart for ModNation Racers PS3 is only ($.99) separately and ($1.75) for the bundle.
@47. Thx. I hope that’s what it was. I saw on the hot lap thong some guy blew himeself up at a certain place and it reset him in front of the finish line with another lap completed and he just did that untill he won. He got it in like 5 seconds after starting. I did it to get in the top ten percent and I did and then used it on a race online, then the people got mad that had mikes and then it said my name on #1 and everyone else got DNF and became guilty. Sigh. So then I redid the trophies I got from it and unofficialy earned them the right way, and now I only feel a little bit guilty. I still feel sorry for those people though. So I now know not to do it again and hope I haven’t been banned for life because I got a lot of hard to get trophies and a platinum for batman arkham asylum and almost done with mnr. Anyway, great game!
i bought a copie of mod nation racers and it has frozen while its loading at 65% it doesnt connect online nd if it does it would kick me or freeze at 65% again so i called scea nd the instructions they gave me i followed i changed the tcp ports on my router checked my nat to type2 i did it all i even called my isp nd they said comcast modems have no firewall so i called sony again nd they asked me if i could go to usplaystation.com/support guys i really like mod nation racers please help me get connected online with the game all my other games connect fine last nite i played kllzn2 online multiplayer
Looking forward to the new mod and parts….
My loading has been good….so the rest of ya get of the 256k connection already…8)
I really like this game, having 4 player local split-screen is AMAZING! A major reason I bought this game, my friends and have really been enjoying this feature.
I did notice that the campaign started to get exponetially harder, I’m probably even less than halfway through, I just switched to online. Online is getting much better, online rsces with more than 4 people are actually starting to regularly occur, which is a nice change.
Suggestions:
Please, please, please add a restart lap option when running the hot lap or offline time trials so annoying to screw up 20 seconds into a lap and be forced to continue the whole thing. I think the top mods and charts should rotate more often. One day it could show the newest, the next day it could show the most raced, the next day the most downloaded, the next day it could show the weeks most viewed, etc.
@Kallidoan
Calm down, the game has been just over two weeks, it’s not like they wave their hands and patches get finished. Besides what was said was it would be in one of the first patches, that doesn’t mean the first (obviously since it wasn’t), second or even third.
The patch to shorten the load times is coming….the day after you sell your game!
I’m less frustrated by the difficulty of the Career Mode challenges and more frustrated by the fact that you cannot adjust your Speed/Accel Drift/Handle toggles without having to exit out to the ModSpot to face the wrath of two loading screens just to be able to move your slider bars.
Sloppy execution is sloppy.
I also gave up on XP Races because I’m so very sick of the same 5 or 6 tracks that I already played through a couple dozen times in career mode trying to do above-mentioned challenges.
We -need- more track variety for XP Series if the mode is going to survive.
dont see any problem with the load time . they should also reset the timer to one minute when a person jumps in the xp race . give more time for people to jump in . been getting consistent 10 player race online which is awesome .
This game needs a lot of fixing. I still can’t believe it got such great reviews. I still like the game but hopefully you guys can do a lot of improving QUICKLY.
i agree the patch is coming soon after i sell mod nation for transformers war for cybertron so sad for sony allways releasing a good game same story sony doesnt care xample we want a better p3 network nd they answere ur p3 is free online we dont care i called them when i was watching g4tv the feed came up nd said on e3 june 14 2010 sony will anounce a new psn network nd they replied its just fabricated rumors u c guys sony doesnt care if they did they would listen to the consumer nd fix the psn network frankly microsoft cares hey i partychat on my 360 with my friends while we play p3 pathetic it is to use 360 to partycht u c sony doesnt care
Why is everyone b*tching about LOAD times when Career Mode is the most annoying thing about the game? Load times are not that bad compared to the aggravating Career Mode tasks for Bonus, and Payoffs!! Drift 100,000 and get in 1st, stupid stuff like that when AI cheats like H3LL!!
I also find it really funny that we only get 8 response now that the game is out. When they were blogging before the game (trying to sell it) came out we had a reply for almost ever comment. Huh, go figure.
i really hope you could unlock region locked………….
I’m another person who is tradin in this game. Loadin is so ps1 (whats the huge install for) and the single player is way too hard. Its doable, but I was gettin crazy mad playin the same track 15 times. Creation items for the karts or too little. Besides unlockin the select few of bodies, could have a bunch of body kits for each body. But, too little too late. Trade in. Should have got Blur, it got about the same rating.

This is a place to talk about all things of the game. Why should yours be more important. We should bring up ALL the things that make this game crap, not just your opinion.
This SO better be what unlocks that #14 silly seat I’m missing or heads will roll…
64@SHINSPIKES
You are right, but I think the things I mentioned are far more important than loading, plus they did have a patch for loading in their 1st patch. I don’t think it will get any faster, but we shall see………..
Also I still LOVE this game!! It is the things I mentioned that really bog own the game, and makes it less enjoyable. Playing casual races on-line with friends (who have mics) is really a blast.
The community is flat out awesome. People showing off their mods, and karts they downloaded, or created is a blast.
I know UFG will fix these, but how long will it take is the question? Will it be in one patch, or will it be something like LBP, where patches comes every so often. I just hope they are taking notes, and let consumers know before it gets too late.
Agreed with #50
many flaws indeed

Look man, if you are any good at the game (other people complain as well) then you’ll realize you can come in first place just about everytime in every race if you play smart (ie. not using all your boost all the time, you’ll want to save some from being attacked) How can the AI cheat? because you’re not that good a racer or because they hit you with weapons the same way you hit them with weapons? you make no sense, if they didn’t hit you with weapons and they were all slow and uncompetitive, what would be the point of playing the game???
Do agree about the XP races though, i only get like 4-5 tracks when i XP race.
Also again people complaining about the Payoff and Bonus achievements int the races, just get better at the game, they are all pretty much do about and not that hard (with the exception of the devastator ones, 3 cliff sideswipes, and one other one i can’t remember) so just get better at the game by playing it and learning the way the AI plays against you.
Note: I’ve gotten all the achievements in the career mode and beaten all the grudge matches :D just need to get a few more tokens and i’ve 100%’d career mode.
We changed the XP Race algorithm today you will now see all 28 tracks in XP Races.
