THIS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 2010, ALL THE HATERS AND FRUSTRATED RACERS WILL COME BACK TO MODNATION RACERS!! Okay, end caps, you can really how excited I am for this MUST HAVE update. Wednesday will be the first time I have played ModNation Racers in about 3 weeks. Not that I hate the game, but came to the decision that experience playing the game how it is currently was hindered after a couple hour sessions with the dragging load times. It’s just not good.

You can grab the update 1.02 at 2:00AM PST, don’t waste anytime.

In addition to the BIGGEST request everyone has been asking for since THE BETA…
Those who are single player junkies will love that difficulty has dropped a notch. UFG has added the Casual Difficulty Mode that was mentioned a few weeks ago on ModNation Mondays. You should have a easier time on getting those challenges and trophies done easier, I Hope.

In what I call the 2nd BIGGEST Feature added to the BEST Kart Racer on the market today, XP Races WITH Friends. You can invite your friends to single races or a complete series.

No More Connection Hangs with this feature. You are now able to get into races quicker because they removed the online game room from the ModSpot. I don’t know if that was necessary or not but I’ll update later on Wednesday if it was a wise decision.

Along with quicker connection to races, this is due to Improved Server Stability. Say goodbye to you shooting Level 3 Rockets and then see your self back at the ModSpot, for now.

Hot Lap Exploiters will now crumble! This bug allowed racers to cut the track and post unbeatable times in Hot Lap.

Those who are addicted to Challenge Hunting, you will love this. The Devastator takedown on Wild Run & Mobobahn, and the EVER so frustrating side swiping 3 Opponents on the cliff on Fracture.

Not all things you have to work for. The Tin Bucket is Unlocked and available to everyone by default.

Collector Card has seen an improvement, you can see all player creations in plain sight.

PSB:

This Wednesday, August 4th at 2:00am (Pacific Time), the ModNation Racers Title Update 1.02 goes live improving many of the issues the community has been concerned about. On behalf of UFG, we want to thank everyone for supporting ModNation and being patient as we’ve worked hard to make it the best experience possible. If you didn’t see the patch details on the IGN last Friday, here is a run down:

Load Time Improvements
While there are still loads, you will see decreases in load times throughout the game.

New “Casual” Difficulty Mode
We’ve added a “casual” difficulty setting in the options screen.

Challenge friends in XP Series
We’ve added the ability to invite your friends to XP Races & Series.

No more “Hot Lap” Cheaters
We fixed a bug that allowed players to cut the track and post unbeatable times in Hot Lap.

Get into Online Races Quicker
Along with improved load times, we’ve removed the online game room from the ModSpot so you can get into the race faster.

Improved Server Stability
We’ve addressed issues to improve intermittent disconnects that players were experiencing.

Three Challenges now more attainable
We wanted to provide you challenges, but didn’t want to sacrifice fun. We found 3 challenges that proved extremely difficult and changed the conditions to complete them. This includes:

  • Devastator takedown on Wild Run
  • Devastator takedown on Modobahn
  • Sideswipe 3 opponents on the cliff side on Fracture

The Tin Bucket Unlocked!
Finally this is an item is unlocked and available to everyone by default.

Collector Card Improvement
Now see all player creations in their entirety.

Improvements to ModNation Racers don’t stop here, we are still constantly listening to the community and are committed to making ModNation Racers one of the most enjoyable experiences you’ll have on your PS3.
