Karting BETA experience so far (NDA)

Rate this Entry
I know I'm not supposed to talk about the beta details (gameplay, logic, creating ect.) but I am allowed to talk about the features you guys already know from the trailers and interviews.

So far I have played some of the gameplay and create mode. Its really fun! The carting gameplay is very well done and feels nothing like Modnation racers. It feels like LBP! The way sackboy bounces abound in his kart really makes it funny and light hearted. The weapons, grappling hook, bounce pads, ect. are very smooth and easy to use for creative races. The music is amazing! In my opinion better then LBP2! Online mode is also very clever and well done.

The creative mode is great as well. At first it can be confusing, but once you get used to the controls, you can make some pretty cool 3D objects and maps. Anybody who has played Modnation Racers will be familiar with it. There are still a lot of bugs, but its still in the early stages of the alpha, so it'll get much better as it gets updated.

I have played the game for three days now and so far I have published a Race called "Volcano Highway" and reported 12 bugs. The community races are kind of lacking a little, but there aren't that many people familiar with the controls yet, so its understandable. You know how there are thousands of levels on the LBP2 cool pages, well LBPK Beta only has 5! XD

If you guys have any questions then comment below! Keep in mind, the beta is under NDA so Im not allowed to give away the experience, but I can still answer some simple questions.

Thanks for reading!

    I think they have a big hit on their hands. I was so disappointed in Modnation Racers, thinking it would be the Little Big Planet of karting games. Fortunately, we have that now. I enjoyed my few hours on the beta.

    There goes my life for a while. Yay!

    technically, you can't say ANYTHING about the beta unless it's overly ambiguous :S (like: It's great, but things need work.)

    The NDA is pretty tight for this one. :S

    Yea, but knowing how the trailers and interviews clearly state and show certain upgrades (like bounce pads, grapple hook, and weponator) I'm sure its fine to talk about those in low detail.

    i'd be careful none-the less.
    some things have changed w/ those previously shown features, and under NDA you can't state those changes, even if you do is by accident. Just be careful
