ModNation Creations of the Week
Amazing creations in ModNation get shared every day and we are playing a ton of them. If you are interested in submitting your mod, kart or track to be a future “creation” of the week be sure to visit up on the official ModNation Community site and who knows? You might see your handiwork on the PlayStation.Blog.
With the release of all the new parts packs, we want to see your tracks with those new props in them.
Mod of the Week
Mod Name: Kratos Sackboy
Creator: Toasterscribble
Jason Coker says: This is a sweet tribute to the man in chains. He’s got that Sackboy texture, but with the Kratos attitude. Still, at risk of insulting a guy with the power of the Gods, he sure is cute.
Kart of the Week
Kart Name: Wide Ride
Creator: FuzzyEdges
Jason Coker says: Flashy without being over the top. That’s a tough balance to maintain, but this Kart does it well. The detail is there, but it’s not all over the place, which adds a lot of class to the old school body. Hey FuzzyEdges, can you hook up some paint on my hybrid?
Track of the Week
If you have a video(s) of your track submit them to MNR’s YouTube channel by emailing ModNation@Playstation.Sony.com and we will include them in the blog if your track is showcased.
Track Name: Christmas Eve
Created by: C_Smith
Jason Coker says: Yes, yes, yes. I love to drift, and this Track is a drifter’s paradise. Loads of snaking curves give plenty of opportunities to get some boost, and various hazards and shortcuts keep the races competitive. Well done, C Smith.
Track Name: Amusement Park I
Created by: SergioChileno
Jason Coker says: Here’s how I imagine a conversation between me and SergioChileno about this Track –
Me: Dude, are you kidding me?
SergioChileno: No, not kidding.
Me: Hold on – Clown pop-ups AND the K-Wrecks? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?
SergioChileno: No, not kidding. Also, I just beat you.
This track is potentially frustrating, but well worth it when you dodge this or that obstacle just right. I raced this one until my fingers went numb. Good stuff.
