ModNation Creations of the Week

Amazing creations in ModNation get shared every day and we are playing a ton of them. If you are interested in submitting your mod, kart or track to be a future “creation” of the week be sure to visit up on the official ModNation Community site and who knows? You might see your handiwork on the PlayStation.Blog.

With the release of all the new parts packs, we want to see your tracks with those new props in them.

Mod of the Week

Mod Name: Kratos Sackboy
Creator: Toasterscribble

ModNation Racers PS3: Kratos Sackboy

Jason Coker says: This is a sweet tribute to the man in chains. He’s got that Sackboy texture, but with the Kratos attitude. Still, at risk of insulting a guy with the power of the Gods, he sure is cute.

Kart of the Week

Kart Name: Wide Ride
Creator: FuzzyEdges

ModNation Racers PS3: Wide Ride 1

ModNation Racers PS3: ModNation RacersWide Ride 2 ModNation Racers PS3: ModNation RacersWide Ride 3

Jason Coker says: Flashy without being over the top. That’s a tough balance to maintain, but this Kart does it well. The detail is there, but it’s not all over the place, which adds a lot of class to the old school body. Hey FuzzyEdges, can you hook up some paint on my hybrid?

Track of the Week

If you have a video(s) of your track submit them to MNR’s YouTube channel by emailing ModNation@Playstation.Sony.com and we will include them in the blog if your track is showcased.

Track Name: Christmas Eve
Created by: C_Smith

ModNation Racers PS3: Christmas Eve

ModNation Racers PS3: Christmas Eve 2 ModNation Racers PS3: Christmas Eve 3

Jason Coker says: Yes, yes, yes. I love to drift, and this Track is a drifter’s paradise. Loads of snaking curves give plenty of opportunities to get some boost, and various hazards and shortcuts keep the races competitive. Well done, C Smith.

Track Name: Amusement Park I
Created by: SergioChileno

ModNation Racers PS3: Amusement Park

ModNation Racers PS3: Amusement Park 2 ModNation Racers PS3: Amusement Park 3

Jason Coker says: Here’s how I imagine a conversation between me and SergioChileno about this Track –

Me: Dude, are you kidding me?

SergioChileno: No, not kidding.

Me: Hold on – Clown pop-ups AND the K-Wrecks? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?

SergioChileno: No, not kidding. Also, I just beat you.

This track is potentially frustrating, but well worth it when you dodge this or that obstacle just right. I raced this one until my fingers went numb. Good stuff.

  • First? Need that dlc

  • Can you try to add new track packs related with the dlcs? I would love a killzone or Ratchet and Clank track pack so much! :D

  • And video isn’t working right :(

  • Great to see the DLC will continue into next year. Awesome support!

  • Is there somewhere on the web that shows all of the weekly track/avatar/kart winners? Maybe something like that could be included online/in-game? Just a thought.

  • Now you need to make an official Playstation course that only PScharacters play in. I’ve said this on a few different blogs.
    Oh, you also need a Warhawk kart or Starhawk since that’s supposed to come around soon.

  • Any new weapons packs anytime soon? Everything else looks awesome for sure though.

  • Dear UFG, that’s great, but…two things:

    1) Fix the Trophies. That’s insane to get 250.000 creation XP and 500.000 XP for the Level30 in a normal life. Please do something about it, like raising a LOT the XP gained after a race/download.

    2) Cut loading times even more. We need to be able to join an online race after 2-3 minutes of loading/credits.

    Thank you!

  • Congrats on the nominee guys…. In my opinion your game is the best racing game there is! =)

  • ok because ramone pick my elite game show…. i will create another track even if my two christmas track is ruined because of the lagg and losing of sound… :|
    oh well thanks ramone for picking my track again… and please repair the lagg and lost of sound when the snowball launcher and carnival props with sound are together… the launchers will fail

  • Killzone and Jak and Daxter mods and karts look awesome looks awesome

    Also, I agree that you seriously need to fix the trophies. 250,000 was only possible if you were one of the first people to create a mod of someone famous like Mario or Crash Bandicoot or a kart like the A-Team van. It’s not promoting creativity. It’s just telling people to make copies of already existing characters

    Also, we want MORE WEAPONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It would be cool if you guys could add battle mode arena similar to the one found in Crash Team Racing. I feel that it’s one thing this game is missing.

  • oh by the way i love the helghast mod! but its available feb… i will get the KZ3 game so maybe goodbye for modnation…
    good job UFG for the new theme! i hope its FREE then that will be a blast!

    • The beauty of MNR is you can walk away from it for a while and when you come back there are new tracks to race! :)

      KZ3 is going to be sick.

  • I don’t care if I get any flack for saying this, but those Mods are so cute!

    I especially like the Killzone one. :D

  • @VinxiUSA Stop crying if you aren’t creative enough for people to download your stuff just do download for download like every noob in the game is doing! or just don’t play the game and move on. They give you 100 XP for every download and before they changed that it was just 5 or 10 XP (I don’t remember) and I just needed a little more to reach the 250,000 XP before they did the patch!…. So start creating stuff and don’t be a lazy butt! and stop your whining…

  • WHOOT!!! I feel like having a party!! There are at least 2 new themes promised here. The Far East Theme which I personally am very excited about, and the video shows many many shots of a full-blown snow theme. Way to deliver!! Soon my newest 2 tracks will be obsolete, though….

    PS: The video isn’t working well. First it plays all the audio, then it plays all the video.
    PSS: I can’t believe people here are still asking for more before even congratulating the staff on their slow but steady responsiveness. The community seems to be beast with an absurdly insatiable appetite….

  • Helghast Mod and Kart looks SICK!!!! :D

  • y does audio come first then the video without sound? lol

  • is there gunna be any dlc for the psps version coz i would love that, also you should make a sackboy one (from little big planet) seeing how theres already a Tag lbp costume

  • @XxT_I_K_IxX_PR, HMS_Victor said everything you need to read and everything I meant to say. I’m really happy about your creativity, seriously.

  • Found the video on youtube (Search for “modnation racers DLC”, sort by upload date)

    Finally we’re getting a snow theme! (Its in the video)

  • Any more trophies being added with the extra career content?

  • Haha love the little Helghast

  • Woah yall caught me off guard! Almost peed in my pants! Bring on the dlc!

  • heres the link of the video….

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yr1VybDwD4

    the snow theme are SICK!!! OMG my only wish in this game is to have more PLAYERS! hahaha many players will love this game but the game launch problems took many players buy this game… sigh… but now this game is FUN!

  • YAY a new theme! Thanks for this UFG =D

  • @VinxiUSA Thanks, dude but be careful with what you guys wish for. I was one of the people saying to drop the trophy like you’re saying now but when they did the patch, I got the platinum as soon as they did the patch I was happy yeah but then I realized I was gonna get bored of the game because the fun was reaching that almost impossible trophy with all my friends, soon after we got the platinum my friends began to leave the game and I stayed alone playing it (because I love it but like every game if you’re alone it will get boring eventually)… read 2nd part

  • Well I left, I still have the game and I would still play it but none of my friends play it anymore because they got the platinum and the fun of the game ended. What do you prefer? To win the trophy or that they give it to you just like that? @VinxiUSA Maybe this won’t happen to you but this happened to a lot of people… So right now I think the trophy couldn’t be easier. Just create stuff and tell people to check your stuff and if they’re good they will download them. Just do your best =) Of course there will always be buttholes who will insult you and maybe give you a 1 star rating but there are the people who tell you “dude, your stuff is awesome!” (Every time someone said that I was so effing proud lol) I would like to play this game again Ima try to get on on the weekend lol I miss MNR and again congrats on the nominee United Front games and again MNR is my #1 racing game =)

  • Nice…..will this add on come with trophies????

  • Whens the snow theme thats in the video getting released?

  • i want the helghast mod now!! T_T its so freaking awesome! it will be the first mod dlc that i will buy… i hope many players will buy this game… its very cute, fun, and awesome!

  • @28 – They mention in the video that it will.

  • A DLC character wearing 3D glasses? Foreshadowing that a 3D pack is on its way?

  • Well, well, well… I’ve been HIGHLY critical of the lack of decent DLC before but seeing that video and the Asian and Snow themes I’m VERY excited and faith is quickly being restored in you guys. It will be interesting to see where this game is in 6 months time, if you keep supporting it with good quality content then it should be able to maintain it’s popularity for a long time to come! :)

    Just do us ALL one favour: Remove Tiku Tik Mountain and the various 100,000 Drift points tracks from the Top Tracks once and for all. It’s embarrasing that they are constantly showcased (by way of your odd algorithms) especially since there are literally a million creations more deserving than them!

    • Glad that faith is coming back. UFG has been working hard to make some cool things for the community to play with.

  • Will there be new trophies for the Career Extension tracks?

  • @35

    Yes.

  • I can’t hear the video very well, but I was wondering if we are going to be able to race against our own creations soon? I am close to giving up on this game, but if this gets implemented than I am back on the drivers seat blowing up my creations! Also have the option to assign karts to mods so that picking our characters doesn’t take so long. I have more than 150 created mods and karts and it takes too long to go through all of them. Maybe a sort would help. Please answer me on this!

  • I need some missile launchers and gun parts. Still the DLC we have been getting is awesome.

    I agree drift tracks are horrible to actually race on….at least the noob trophy tracks anyway..

  • that helghast kart looks niceee

  • When is the PSN releasing the Black Ops 1.04 Patch?

  • Thanks for picking my track !!. The news of the DLC´s coming are great, this game will be still more spectacular and funny, and MNR is really the best game than I have played since I was baby racer (because also I love to create new tracks).

    And, Jason: Truth that “I am not kidding”… LOL

  • Excellent to hear there is career extencion finally, I really hope it means more trophies aswell?, really looking forward to it!
    Plece make more of those in the future :)

  • We should have the ability to exit vehicles in the ModSpot!!

    I agree
    This is my NUMBER ONE Feature Request since the game was released…

    UFG please make this happen!!!

    This has been mentioned and even commented on by your developers/programmers since the beginning…what is the status of this functionality?

    Also,
    Have you fixed the GoGo Gravity kart sticker problem that’s been documented in the Forums (you claim to read ALL the time) both in the Official BUG Thread and in a separate post… those who purchase this Soap Box Derby kart (as part of the Holiday Bundle) may be a little upset if the stickers aren’t working correctly.

    Thanks for the new Full Theme next week.

  • I stopped playing the game after like a month or 2 only because of the crazy long loading time it just took too much of my time… the game was fun though and I enjoyed making my mods,tracks and karts…just fix the loading time…

  • Also was hoping for your next game u guys add more modes add like team modes and when playing split-screen make all a.i available…

  • WOW! This is awesome! I am going to have to play this game again!!

  • I’ll have to say extending the single player experience can open the gates to a lot more to this game and might bring some people back. Especially if more career tracks will also mean more XP tracks. Can’t wait.

  • Hey UFG I have an idea and I need yall to tell me what you think! Ok, could yall make chinese new year track and possibly mod dlc?! For track dlc I was thinking of the long chinese new year dragon ballon and allowing racers to take a bumpy ride through it, or a bumpy ride on top! I’m sure UFG can figure out the rest! ;)

    • well grey_jeep, it sounds like you have a specific idea for a track….now with the new track pack you can make it yourself. you can do a Mod too! I bet you someone is going to make it the first week we release this pack.
