If you’re anything like me, you’ll be spending a lot more time enjoying this fun new feature than you would ever have expected. The Mod Postcards feature is found in the “Favorites” section of the Creation Station and for a good reason – you’ll be coming back to it over and over (and more than likely yet again).
1. Postcard Image
The first thing you’ll be asked to do is either load an image or take a photo. “Take a photo” is fairly straightforward. Using either the Vita’s front or rear camera you’ll frame your shot using the front touch screen’s viewfinder. You’ll notice a miniature Tag and his Kart superimposed into the center of the display awaiting the click of the shutter. Simply touch the “Take Pic” icon in the top left corner to take the picture.
The second option is “load a photo”. Trust me when I say this makes things even more interesting. Load any image you have downloaded onto your Vita as the background of your Mod Postcard or utilize Vita’s built-in web browser and you’ll have access to all the images you could hope for via the web.
2. Mod / Kart Poses
The next step asks you to tap on the Mod or Kart and thus begins the fun. Use your fingers to move, pinch, push, pull, squeeze and rotate Tag or his Kart to your desired size and position in the photo. You will also have numerous options for your chosen Mod’s expression as well as pose. Just a press of the save icon (pencil writing to disc) button and voila!!!… your very own Mod Postcard! Oh, it doesn’t stop there – remember the two million-plus creations that you and the ModNation community have created so far?… YEP, you’ll have access to ALL of those Mods and Karts to use in your ModNation photo masterpieces. Think about the possibilities. Ba-BAM! That was your mind being blown right? Yeah, I thought so!
3. Share Your Postcards
With Vita’s connectivity you have the ability to link to your Facebook account and publish your Mod Postcards for all your friends and family to see! hmmmmm… can’t wait to see what the ModNation “paparazzi” come up with. This ought to be fun!
ModNation Racers For PS3
This Week’s Top Tracks: Best of StealthReborn–
Speaking of…, ModNation Photo Challenge!
Over the past year we’ve seen some awesome screenshots (and creative track icons) and thought what better time to collect these “masterpieces” for the world to see!
We will be collecting your best MNR track / racing screenshots and track icons over the next few weeks to ultimately present the grand opening of the “ModNation Museum of Art”. Here are just a few of the categories we will be collecting for our favorites – Action, Floral, Abstract, Sunset, Bizarre, Humorous, Scary, etc… The best part is that they don’t have to be your tracks!

Creations of the Week: Best of craigybaby_86
Hot Lap Track of the Week: UFO Site: Airborn by its2l84that
its2l84that completes(?) his UFO Invasion Trilogy with a track that can only be described as epic! If I was ever abducted by aliens (again?) this is EXACTLY what I envision the experience to be like. I am not sure what was done to me inside its2l84that’s glorious alien spacecraft but when my new(?) friends dropped me back down to earth, I felt a peace and harmony unlike I have ever known before. I also had a profound ringing in my ears and a large rash down both legs; other than that, it was heavenly!
Hot Lap Tracks of the Week:
This was a great week of Hot Lap track submissions by many of the best racers in the game. The top hot lap times on these tracks will surely be a feather in any racer’s cap.

This was a launch day purchase for me but since I heard that it didn’t have ONLINE multiplayer. I will sadly be not buying this until it gets added or is on sale. I’m sorry, but I thought by now developers would already know that ONLINE multiplayer can bring a lot of replayability to game.
I love ModNation but this makes me want to cry and if this isn’t on blog share i’m goin to put it up immediately.
Delay the game and put Online multiplayer or its a no buy and this is from a modnation racers fan. i love the ps3 version, and i’m getting a vita but it isn’t even so important for me to get anymore, if i’m getting immediately it’s only cuz i wanna get Rayman Origins Vita. and i never got the console game yet.
heck if you guys say, We will be adding multiplayer via a update later on (asap like march soon) then i’ll get it. but other wise modnation is dead and Sony should give up on the franchise, cuz they messed up every time and now i can’t defend it, first it was loading times then a horrible psp version and now a superior version to both with both games issues fixed and now the main point of the game is gone! might as well sony start on a little big planet kart racer or make a new franchise for kart racing or even get back exclusive rights for crash and make crash team racing 2. this isn’t getting nowhere in this state
Please delay the game to add ONLINE mp or at least confit
It’ll be added in a future patch or DLC.
As it stands now for me: no online = no buy :(
(I really wanted it too)
Now I’ll be getting wipeout2048
Im in the majority, rather them delay the game just to add the multiplayer feature in. Until then, the only game that I planned on buying at launch has turned into a no-buy.
well San Diego Studios the community has spoken , delay the game and add online multiplayer and we will support it , i was really excited to get the game but now not so much , even the psp version has online multiplayer , why vita version doesnt? no online multiplayer = no buy from me , im sorry guys i love the franchise and i have the 2 previous games but i wont be getting Road Trip until you add online racing multiplayer
No Multi-player, No buy. Sorry.
No Online Head-to-Head?
No buy. Shame too, was really looking forward to it…
Like everyone else in this whole topic has been crying about, no online Ida real no deal for me. Well that adds to my list of self reasons to not get the Vita ASAP. At least I can put that money into other games.
All i want is either for them to delay the game to implement online multiplayer, OR confirm that online multiplayer will be available later, but let us know this BEFORE launch, and then DO NOT back down afterwards, and i’ll still purchase the game, because i enjoyed Mod Nation PS3 for more than just the online play, and alot of us WANT MNR Road Trip for the features that have been touted, and then the online multiplayer too.
We arent asking for much, just give it to us!
I will say this too, since there is no online multiplayer, there is no buy.
Your thought process of using the ghost multiplayer and time trial system for your multiplayer was one of the worst short cuts to ever be made in gaming.
In short, you fail.
Honestly, just delay the while you still have time. Even I was going to pick this game up upon the vita’s release, but I don’t wanna have anything to do with. What were you guys thinking in not including multiplayer in a game like this???
Good to see there will be plenty of people to play other games with online. Considering Vita is supposed to be the mamma jamma connected device, who the hell made the choice to not have online play?!? I wasn’t buying your game to send postcards, I was buying to race other humans and friends. Delay it and do it right or your game will tank. We only say this stuff because we love you, or your game at least.
Please add online multiplayer. I never do this, but I probably won’t purchase this game if it lacks this key feature for modern racing games. Begging you guys! :)
We occupy th PSN blog to get what WE want !
I imported a vita to France, i was going to get this game at launch, but since it has no multiplayer im not going to get it ! I will get wipeout 2048 who has multiplayer online !!!
Everyones, or almost, is asking for this game to be delayed, the vita has a strong linup so give this game a few more month to get the online right. Plus we have wipeout with online multiplayer at launch !
Get Shuhei Yoshida to comment on twitter guys ! He is the man !
no multilayer no buy… this is a disgrace in 2012 no multplayer… dis is an epic fail… this will flop
No online, no purchase. Hope you guys are listening.
San Diego Studios i think the best thing you guys can do is to delay the game ( we the fans wont get mad ) theres plenty of games to play at vita’s launch ( its the best western launch line up of a playstation system ever ) so dont worry we will wait till we can race online with PSN friends and other people , as i said before the community has spoken. lots of us love the franchise but come on vita is supposed to be the ultimate connected portable gaming machine and you guys are taking away the online portion of ModNation ? the guys who thought about that should be fired right away
I was really looking forward to this game but until online is added like everyone else has said is a no buy for me.
All we want right now is a response and some answers. We know that if everyone had been all “sunshine and daisies” about the game, you would be posting here making comments about how cool the game will be; but since we are complaining about no online play, you are all staying quiet. Even if someone just posts a comment saying, ‘You have been heard and we are looking into it’, i think most of us would be fine for now.
You are going to lose alot of sales from those of us who post, as well as those that know nothing about it except word of mouth. And word of mouth will be “no online play”, and for many, that will make it a no buy.
I think most of us understand if you cant push it back because it has gone gold or something, but atleast give us some kind of assurance that online play can and WILL be added later, and i’ll go preorder a copy right away (well, on payday). But if we cant get something like that, then your sales will likely be poor.
Give this to us, please.
Looking through the months and months of Modnation blog posts, this is the only one that, as of yet, has no replies. Strange, no?
Hi vanwinkle and all.
Sorry you didn’t hear from me yesterday. My family and I were off for MLK holiday.
I hear everyone’s frustration and I know its based on a great passion for the game. Over the next few weeks we will be rolling out more info on Road Trip and it’s online feature set. I think there are some pretty cool features yet to be revealed. Hang in there!
