Chris Morell from the PlayStation Blog has a talk with Dan from United Front Games from GDC 2010 and had quite a few things to announce for the release of ModNation Racers, coming May 25, 2010. From the feedback, you, the community has given UFG, they have delivered on 4 player split screen lan gaming. Four player split screen makes me remember the days of Mario Kart 64 days and should for majority of you Karters as well. Along with 4 player split screen, you will be able to race online with a buddy on the same console on two player vertical split screen. That is not all, with two and four player split screen available, Dan reveals you can also have tri split screen.
Another, BIG tweak and improvement with the feedback is the camera angle and zoom! This was the MAJOR thing that bugged me and a lot of beta testers when first playing the game during that beta run a few months back. With the improvement to the camera angle and zoom brings a better drifting experience for all to enjoy!
Dynamic props will allow you setup triggers and setup triggers and shoot triggers. There will be certain areas on each map to reveal hidden areas and shortcuts for you to exploit on other racers. Something that ModNation Racers and one other racing combat game allows you to do is drop items. In this case, you can reactive a trigger when one of your opponents is in front of one of your triggers you have planted beforehand.
When the public beta was out for those in the beta, you only saw about 15% of the Total content available for the full release of the game. United Front Games knew the community would create great things but was “blown away” from the content that was uploaded to the ModNation Racers content servers.
