Earlier this year, we cut some cake and popped some champagne to celebrate Media Molecule’s sixth birthday! We’ve had an awesome time during the last six years, seeing how the experiment we started here in Guildford has grown, giving rise to a thriving LittleBigPlanet community. This year will be no different, filled with DLC, plus new experiments from the LBP family for you to play with. You already know about the fantastic LBP work that Tarsier Studios and Double Eleven Studios are doing on LittleBigPlanet for PS Vita, and now we are delighted to announce today a new LBP collaboration with the hugely talented team at United Front Games who will be leading a new project called LittleBigPlanet Karting! We’ve all seen that UFG has a wealth of racing experience and they’re also intimately familiar with LBP’s cornerstones of “Play, Create, Share.” With LBP’s powerful and diverse toolset in their capable hands, LittleBigPlanet Karting is sure to be an adventure that both LBP fans and kart-racing fans alike will enjoy! We are eager to see what you think of this union and especially excited to see what happens now that you can create in a 3D environment — it’s the start of a whole new LBP world! Have a look at the debut trailer to see for yourself. Thank you so much for your continued support of LittleBigPlanet! Lots of love!

On importing LBP DLC costumes and a Vita version:

Hey ArsenaLC, glad to hear you’re excited! We’re currently investigating what’s possible on the DLC costume front and will have an update in the future on this. As for the Vita, currently there are no plans to release a Vita version of this game.

On load times:

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

On if ModNation Racers creations will transfer over:

Hey Shrapnel__, thanks for the MNR love, it’s much appreciated We’ve crammed so much new functionality into LBPK that bringing creations forward from MNR unfortunately won’t be possible. We can’t wait to see what the community will create with all the new tools available!

I thought they already had this. Modnation racers...

Guess they're ditching Modnation Racers and hoping that the LBP name will help with sales.


At least that's what it looks like to me.

I don't know if I am getting old, or boring, or have depression but most games just seem absurd these days.
Ugh.

Losing interest in something you were once passionate about is discouraging.

That's the exact thing I thought when I read the thread title and I just knew someone had already beaten me to saying it in just the three replies the thread had when I clicked on it.

I thought the next was Uncharted Racing

Not to derail this thread, but for a fan of Mario Kart and LBP would you recommend getting Modnation racers? I'm sure it's pretty cheap by now, is it worth it?

yes and no, its great fun creating tracks and characters, sharing them and downloading other ppls stuff. But the single player campaign is Brutally hard, but it has a good enough story though. Also in my opinion the weapons are decent but not as "fun" as say mario kart or sonic all star racing. So you'll have more fun playing online/couch buddies than with the cpu.

Online for it is nearly dead though unfortunately.

As soon as I read about LBPK, I was thinking of ModNation Racers, too. Also, MNR: Roadtrip did just get released for the Vita. Really though, I actually wanted to see what an Uncharted kart racer would be like, as funny as that sounds.

I enjoyed MNR. If they can eliminate the foibles of that game (load times, load times, difficulty/rubber banding, and load times) they could have a really good game on their hands here.

Love me some Kart racing. MK of course, but Sonic All Stars was really solid as well. Hope this brings the MNR series up to that level.

How about Sony kart racing. With crash team racing universe, modnation racers, lbp kart, and uncharted's unkarted

i am excited for this to come out

Drifting in MNR felt a bit too floaty for me so I passed on it. This looks awesome though especially with features like battle etc (miss those CTR days).

It's like that episode of south park where everything turns to shit

Clearly Modnation was a financial failure, and in order to recoup some of their investment, Sony has decided to re-use the engine and assets but call it LBP Karting. Sony is going to shit. What a joke

The video of LBPK reminds me of diddy kong racing.

So over the next while, my teammates and I are looking forward to revealing more of LittleBigPlanet Karting’s secrets and surprises. Stay tuned for answers to burning questions like: Can I really make any karting adventure I can imagine? I have a pretty good imagination… Can Crazy Uncle Larry play LittleBigPlanet Karting with me? He hasn’t played a video game since 1994… I’ve always wanted to shoot my friends with heat-seeking cows that spew green gas. Can I put that in a race? Please? Pretty please?
