E309: UNITED FRONT DEMOS MODNATION RACERS PAINT-BRUSH TRACK EDITOR

In case you still haven’t made your way through video of yesterday’s Sony conference, video of one of its most pleasant surprises: United Front demoing their “race, create, share” game ModNation Racers, specifically their honestly quite impressive and intuitive paint-brush track editor.

I’ll be interested to see how the community really can exploit the system more than just cosmetically and create tracks that truly set themselves apart: Front hasn’t fully demonstrated verticality or suspended tracks, and my gut reaction is to wonder how varied they can ultimately otherwise be (though I have, just now, started mentally designing elaborate offroad shortcut side-tracks).

Two additional screenshots showing a bit more of their vinyl-toy-inspired customizable characters are embedded after the jump.
