ModNation Racers Patch 1.02 out August 4th


Recommended Posts

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 ofUFG, 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.

Yup, ?10 please Shopto.

+1. I only bought LittleBigPlanet when it got that low; hopefully this will get there quicker.

It would be sweet if a good bunch of people on NW had this for some fun from time to time.

Won't be considering a purchase till it's sub ?20 though. Still going for around ?28 online (cheapest) :/

Yeah, it's bloody annoying. I'm still waiting for Heavy Rain to go sub-?20. That's one's holding its value too well. It's worse than the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games.

This game looks fun if I had kids or my niece/nephew were older. I just see myself getting bored with it playing it as an adult, but I'm glad they are releasing patches.

Yeah,i'm not into the whole mario cart type racing. If I going to get a racing game it would have to be one of the more serious offering out.

Nice update. Played some 3 player split screen the other day and it's great fun to play with friends and family. Just the load times were annoying. Let's see how they've decreased them.

Definitely looking forward to the patch, played through about half the career mode before putting it down as I had other games to play (friend had lent me the God of War series). Was going to start it up again but figured I'd hold off until this patch hit, so it looks like I may have to get into it again now. Hopefully the load times are a lot more bearable than previously.

Yep, pretty much the same thing on my end, just had other games to play. Especially since it is the "slow season" (next game I really am kinda sorta looking forward to play is Kane and Lynch 2 which is a few weeks away), I am gonna finally play this and try to get my money's worth from it.

Thanks for posting this AB, as I would not have thought about the game otherwise.

The game is good fun in split-screen mode. My group has been alternating between this and Blur whenever we want our racing fix between Halo matches. Being able to download user-created maps and try them out has definitely given the game a lot of longevity with us. Without that feature, we would probably have gotten bored by now, as the actual racing itself is admittedly nothing special (in my humble opinion).

Glad to see that it's getting patched. I thought that the load times were suppose to be fixed on the week of release, but hey, better late than never :).

you cheap ******* lol.

Lots of new games aren't worth the retail price they're asking...so people wait

ModNation is barely worth $5 to me....worst purchase ever (PSP version, I don't have a PS3)
