ModNation Racers -- General Info and Discussion

[quote name='outkastx']Just called in and the allotment of pre-order bonused Amazon had have all been claimed. Dammit.[/QUOTE]

Man that's really stupid. Can't Sony just make more codes for it? I really wanted it but I wanted to test out Track Creation first. So much for a pre-order bonus.

The Demo on PSN has the track creator which is unlocked so you can get tracks ready for the full game.
 
[quote name='Jmclark']You got it early? From where?

Ugh, I really can't wait until Tuesday. Maybe I should go down to some stores today and see if they have it on sale yet. I mean, I haven't preordered it yet.[/QUOTE]
Review copy from Sony.

They did a good job with the custom soundtrack feature, as it pauses during cutscenes in the story mode and continues when the race is about to start. I didn't even know it had the option until I tried to play some of the Shatter soundtrack while waiting for it to load.
 
[quote name='imacjenn']I really didn't want to preorder this either, in light of all my other game purchases this week...it doesn't really feel like a $60 game to me... but I didn't want to pass up the R&C skins. Honestly, and I know I'm in the minority, but I would have rather ordered with Gamestop but I didn't want to Kratos skin

SO - you never know, if you preorder it somewhere else, like Gamestop, you can probably find someone else on CAG that will swap you their Amazon R&C skins for the Gamestop Kratos skin. And if not, with Gamestop, you could always just return it in-store for a full refund...?[/QUOTE]

Sony will put them all on sale as DLC in a few months... they aren't stupid enough to throw all that work away and know they can make tons of money from people who want to get the other costumes.

IIRC, all the LBP preorder stuff eventually went on sale through the PSN.
 
I played the demo and really liked it, but I don't know if I like it for $60...
Although I do want a racing game on the PS3...

Try Wipeout or Motorstorm Pacific Rift...if you haven't already.
 
Amazon is no longer offering the $10 credit on this game. I am expecting everyone who ordered while the offer was still, um... offered, will receive the credit? It was mentioned in my confirmation e-mail. from 2 weeks ago that I would get it.

I've only ordered one item from Amazon with such a cerdit and it was still fofered up to and even past release day, so I have no real experience with this type of situation.

Yeah I know... just want to see how it works and stuff. I dont want to face another LBP editor. That stuff is impossible.
 
You can make a decent track in a few minutes, especially with the auto-complete feature.

I've seen a few interesting tracks like some Mario Kart tracks, some real-life courses, and some that were made just to help you get some of the trophies.
 
Target had the game out on the shelves... the cashier was nice and was trying to sell it to me.. but his manager wouldn't let him!!!!! damn! oh well, I'll wait till Tuesday. I went back and played the demo a couple more times and now I can say that I'm fine with the controls. I do find that I'm losing control of the Kart when I'm coming out of a drift. I wish that you could just use the break or gas to force the drift like in Ridge Racer. I need to wait till the main game comes out so that I can put the finishing touches on my track... "Track Mountain" I wish that I could reverse the track... cause I like the track that I created but I think it'd be better if I could race it in the opposite direction.

I tried Wipeout, I really didn't like it. I haven't tried Pacific Rift, but I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestions.
 
Can't wait till Tuesday for this. Already have a couple kart and driver ideas brewing in my brain and not the usual iron mans or marios. I'll be paying homage to a show I used to watch.
 
DLC codes should be redeemable now, as I just used the codes I had for the Sackboy mod and kart and the DLC code that GameSpot was giving away on their site.

I think I also saw that the Empire City level that was shown in the Sucker Punch Artist Spotlight video was up for download now in the community section of the hub.

Wait.... Your already got the game * sad face * :bomb::bomb:
 
I received my Ratchet & Clank mod code in my e-mail a bit ago to go along with the free Air Raid DLC. The game was scanned in Ontario (less than 30 minutes from here) 4 hours ago, so hopefully I will get it early.
 
[quote name='Thomas96']if you order a game from amazon will you typically get it on the release date?[/QUOTE]

Unless they offered release-date delivery on the title, you'll likely receive a shipping notification today and receive it in a day or three.
 
Not feeling too great. Hopefully will be able to go out and pick this up this afternoon. For the people that have it, how is it so far?
 
[quote name='Thomas96']if you order a game from amazon will you typically get it on the release date?[/QUOTE]

Mine, from Amazon, shipped yesterday and it's currently out for delivery so it'll be here this afternoon.
 
[quote name='Thomas96']if you order a game from amazon will you typically get it on the release date?[/QUOTE]

Unless you got Release Day Delivery, then no. It was like $5 more if you did that. You'll probably have it by Thursday or Friday.
 
[quote name='Azazael13']has anyone found out if the DLC carts are sharable yet?[/QUOTE]

I would think so because I just redeemed the Ratchet and Clank, LittleBigPlanet, and AirRaid DLC and you do it from the XMB so it isnt ingame redeeming like the Red Dead Redemption DLC was :D

So i think it has a good chance it is
 
5:30 PM and my release day shipping STILL isn't here :(

a) I want the dollar van DLC

b) I just saw that online for used Modnation PSP is 15 bucks. . . Interesting.

If anyone wants to add me to play, the tag's mattYoung730. Just please, either mention you're from CAG and include your username in the PSN message, or PM me on here. I easily lose track of who's who.
 
[quote name='Hilarity']I'm picking up my copy after work - I can't wait!!!

Has anyone tried to download the Kevin Butler mod that Sony announced in the new commercial?


I definitely want that - I'm hoping it's available for download when I get home![/QUOTE]

Yup they are up :)
 
@nbballard: Amazon exhausted their supply of pre-order DLC codes a few days ago. If you ordered on Monday you're not going to get one.

Hey what is everyone talking about ? Someone said they got a GOLF GOPHER ? Was that a preorder DLC lol? All I got was the Sackboy, is there something missing here ?

NEVERMIND, I just got an email saying I got the Ratchet and Clank. I then redeemed that and an awesome COW DOWNLOAD appeared. So I am guessing I got the Cow person lol
 
It's WEEZY BABY! He even loves to kart as much as he loves the syrup!
