Hello everyone!
Ramone Russell here, Community Manager for ModNation Racers and avid kart racer.
One of my Mods I call 5-0
Everyone at United Front Games and SCEA are extremely exited to finally put the game in your hands. I’m here to give everyone a quick peek into some of the features and content available in the ModNation Racers PS3 public beta.
In short we are giving you the ability to race, share, download, remix, rate, and most importantly create. Everyone with a beta code will have our state of the art creation tools at your finger tips. We’re absolutely stoked to see the Tracks, Mods, and Karts the beta community will create.
The public beta will include three tracks from the full game Farm Frenzy, Market Run and Sandstorm. There are a couple of race options included in the beta as well. In addition to playing online with up to 12 players, you can compete for the best lap times in Time Trial.
It’s home on the firing range here on Farm Frenzy. Drift and shortcut your way through these meadows, but look out for the sheep! Especially if you dare to take the jump off the barn roof.
The desert oasis in Market Run (left) looks calm from the outside, but the action inside is anything but. Crash through the crowded alleys to max out your weapons and pull out 720-spins on the big wall jump to build up your boost. In Sand Storm (right) Deep in the heart of the desert, this off-road race winds through rolling dunes and treacherous cliffs. Try not to break a sweat as you explore the many paths through the buried ruins.
The next area of the game included in the beta I would like to talk about is the ModSpot. What’s the ModSpot you ask? It’s the central hub area in ModNation Racers you load into once you download the beta. Everything takes place in the ModSpot. It’s where you can meet up with your friends or make some new ones. You can also view, rate, and download the top rated Mods, Karts, and Tracks as well. Lastly it’s where you launch into the Creation Station where you can create your own Mods, Karts and Tracks.
Remember, in North America the ModNation Racers Public Beta will run from today, December 18, through January 10 for everyone who was lucky enough to procure a beta voucher. If you already have a voucher (Did you pick up LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year Edition?), fire up your PS3 and redeem your code on the PlayStation Store to get in on the action. If you don’t have one, you’re in luck – the PlayStation.Blog is giving away a few hundred today! Keep your eyes peeled to the PlayStation Twitter feed and Facebook Page today for details (If you’re unlucky today, even more Beta vouchers will be given away on Monday!).
My favorite mod so far what or who will you create?
Before I go, we want to let everyone know we need your help. To make ModNation Racers the best kart racing game possible, we want to hear from you. Things you like, things you don’t like, concerns, suggestions, bugs you find, and feedback, we want to hear it all.
To share your thoughts with the ModNation Racers, go to www.playstation.com, login to your PSN account and then click the “BETA” link located in the top right corner under your name.
See you in the ModSpot!

hey, guys relax, he is posting this for us, when he could be doing something much better, his last post was 2 hrs ago, he is probably processing them now, so just be patient…

I wish i had a code for the beta.

cmon please :p
can i hav a beta code? plzzz =) mine was ripped

@thrasher
Hsaw aknow
i didnt make it in time :”[
Please i have been looking to play this for a year now, even before it was shown at e3 i love mario kart and i love little big planet this is a fusion of the two to create perfection if there are any extra codes blackwingedangel will be grateful =)
I haven’t received my Qore code either. What gives?
Do I still have time. I would love to have a code, please?
I think they be done till monday.
damn I missed them! Have another!? :)
The is an issue with the censorship in the description. I inserted “A Nervous Lass” (a character description of a female MOD) an it came out “A Nervous L***”. Good idea for the censorship, bad idea to censor parts of non-foul words.
Also no BETA button under my name, fix please.
kinda weird i was givin 2 themes instead of a beta code anyone want a theme just message me first come only serve
Probably covered, but I tried to play earlier today and lost connection to the online servers constantly. When I could connect, it took for-ev-er. I’m sure you guys are working on it though… I’ll fire it up in the morning and check it out.
This game is awesome. Sony please keep this as yours. It is just a great fun game.
seriously?
who can even try to enter more than a handful of these on the ps3? each one takes like 3 minutes to type in, and it seems they’re all used anyway.
guess i won’t be helping with this :-\
mariosmaker – lass to l*** is nothing, even their own label ‘overpasses’ comes up overp***es. lol. this thing is absolutely great, though – I just lost 5 hours to it without realizing it. can’t wait to start up again tomorrow, great job United Front!
will not let me enter the races online
I’m dying for a beta key!!!! Please please
give me one.
It’s too bad that everyone that buys the original LBP when it comes out misses out on all the free add-ons and special offers of game of the year edition games. I think people that purchase games when they first come out always seemed to get ripped off and end up paying more. It is impossible to find a beta code for this game I guess i’m gona miss out.
Seems like a great game, however, there are some severe issues present currently:
-game freezes when the race is over (happened once, tried quitting the game, playstation restarts)
– framerate is all over the place
– loading times are horrible (biggest issue for me)
Enormous potential, but needs some serious polish. Seems more like alpha than beta to me.
Oh yeah, forgot something. A game like this should really run in 60 FPS – graphics are nice, but this is no killzone 2 or uncharted 2, so I see no obstacles in making it run smooth.
i wanted in this beta so bad. ive been looking forward to this game for so long now ive supported the ps brand and contributed valuable insight on quite a few betas now. but i cant land one of these codes for the life of me. by time i enter 1 of the lists 2 more have come out and been used up already. lol. i really hope you will be giving more codes. obviously people want them. ive been an lbp owner since launch. I WANT THIS CODE!!!! come on psb!!!
but instead a bunch of kids that will not provide ANY feedback or people not even eligble to have the beta but have made american accounts have gobbled up all the codes. you guys remember when beta testing was for an elite few that earned it in some way shape or form? psn id: inkme1
damn… I really want a code. If you have an extra one I would really appreciate it. I have tested every beta game for sony since they have started doing it for ps3. It would really suck if I cant do this beta. It was my favorite showing at E3 and the game looks incredible. Like a classic mario kart snes with little big planet rolled into one. Damn I want this.
I GOT IT. THANKYOU I WENT A FEW PAGES BACK AND TRIED ABOUT 35 DAMN CODES. EVENTUALLY ONE WAS STILL FREE. THANKYOU THANKYOU YA. YOU MADE THIS OLD WAR VET FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN!!!
still havent received my qore code? WTF!? never had a problem before. so why now? f++ken useless! i am not interested in calling anyone. just get me my damn code FFS. i pay for a sub to qore for the beta’s. there is no point other than that. $ony seem to be getting progressively worse over the past year or so. think i might just go back to 360.
@brad_z7
ya man I completely can relate. I was an annual subscriber to qore for the first year. I cancelled that garbage after 12 months. It was a waste of money and they still owe me crap. They still owe me two games that I have yet to recieve. One of them being PS1 classic Syphon Filter. You can never count on them. The only ones that can do crap is ourselves. thats why I cancelled. Im not going to pay 25 bucks a year for a subscription service that should be free or no more then 10 bucks in the long run. I have been a gamer for well over 20 years now and PS Qore is a complete waste of money. Stupid interviews that can be seen for free online via google, youtube, gamesites etc. I recommend staying with sony but atleast cancelling Qore. Also send me a friend request via psn. Also my xbox live i.d. is WARRIOR REVENGE. Just tell me its you and I will accept it.
can some1 plz send me a beta code
Sony PLEASE GIVE ME THAT CODE I NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this game. The beta is incredible. My only complain is to much loading screens and it takes a lot of time to much time.
Also I agree with Prophet-48. The game freezes when races are over or I get disconnected and the game didn’t stop loading when I launched it. I restarted it ’cause the HDD light wasn’t flashing and nothing was happening.
Any chance for a couple codes today?
Got my code and downloaded the beta; have yet to play it though. Probably give it a go when I finish up with my Christmas shopping today.
I Want This To Play
It’s funny how betas have turned into a bunch of people “ohh I hope I get it”.
It’s a beta. It should be available for all to try.
So we hang around for a free voucher?
I would love this. Im so glad I made the switch 360 to PS3!@
Very impressed with the beta so far, the token that I am supposed to leave comments for on playstation.com is not showing up, any ideas?
I’m very desapointed with the Beta, Only Time Trial is avaiable, Online Races don’t work, so! For now I expect a update for this beta, because singles player time trial is very anoying for me! C’mon San Diego/United Front/SCEA!
I’m pretty sure there won’t be a sequal like Little Big Planet (unless you count a psp version,but that’s not gonna happen is it)?
can i have a code plz
yea my first post, i should be rewarded with a code huh?lol
Even crappy game sites are giving away MNR Beta codes but we , QORE members who paid $$$ to SONY for this , haven’t got anything.
Let alone game sites , even here SCEA giving away codes instead of sending them to QORE members.
Good job Sony , good job.
