The first trailer for ModNation Racers, the racing games from United Front Games based on the Play, Create, Share genre created by LittleBigPlanet, has gone live over on GT.
The game was revealed at E3 and was coined as the next big thing in Play, Create, Share by the developer as well as SCEA president, Jack Tretton. In the game, you can create your own characters, cars and tracks as well as share your tracks and cars and finally, play cars and tracks created by other players.
When we first seen the trailer, 3 words came into our head.
Little. Big. Planet.
While we’re not hyped for it (yet), you cant help but feel it has that LBP feel to it. And that is a very good thing, a very good thing indeed considering how much we loved LittleBigPlanet.
Catch the trailer after the jump.

Oh nofi you tease. Our friends at TheSixthAxis has teased a Xbox 360 “favourite” is coming to the PS3 with the first info coming next month, but that was all that was given by TSA.
Now, think about it. What is happening next month? GamesCOM in Cologne. Better yet, what has happened this week? BioWare stating that the Mass Effect IP is owned by EA which could mean the game would still come to the PS3.
Thats what their guessing over there, and thats what we’re guessing here too, either Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2. More at the link.

Posted in PlayStation 3 with tags Guerrilla Games, Killzone, Killzone 2, SCEE, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe on July 10, 2009 by Jonathan Cullen
UPDATE: Wait, there is?
Original Story: Despite reports of an updated trophy list for the game, pointed out by Kotaku, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has told GOONL!NE that there are no current plans for a 3rd Killzone 2 map pack at this time.
A SCEE rep told us that, despite the new trophies which would look like new weapons and maps are incoming, they have “no plans to release a 3rd at this moment in time”.
We’ve only just released the 2nd map pack (Flash & Thunder), and haven’t made any announcements about, or have plans to release a 3rd, at this moment in time.
We’ve reached out to Guerrilla Games about it anyways, we’re hoping to hear back from them shortly. The game was released back in February (a 10 from us) with two subsequent map packs, the most recent being Flash & Thunder which are remakes of Killzone 1 multiplayer maps.
