It looks amazing. should eventually get it.

You really think that?

People were so quick to say that LBP was going to bomb before it came out.

hopefully it lets you upload your own images like LBP so you can really customize and put ANYTHING you want on the track

i'll get it at $30-$40 price point.

Yeah putting Nintendo and Ubisoft casual games in that last line would be much more cruel :)

As for the game in topic  it should be perspective view like this:

It looks interesting, but in the end it all comes down to how it plays. In a racing game, you can't explore, play through a story, solve puzzles, etc. It needs to have seriously solid gameplay. If it does, the track editor will be awesome. So I guess time will tell.

Also, they were totally cashing in on the prestige of LittleBigPlanet.  I guess when you've got it, flaunt it.  It did look like it could be fun, though.

looks amazingt

I believe Sony will be helping with this development, if it's needed.

They will make SURE this game plays well. They obviously have a vested interest in it

I took this from the developer's website.

I read somewhere else these guys where making a shooter based in Hong Kong for Activision.

I'm curious if they're making two games. One for Activision and One published by Sony.

They also claim to be "Official developers for: xbox 360 & Playstation 3"
