That seems more like a unique twist off Nintendo's Idea.

I mean just look at the video, doesn't it look like Mario Kart 7? Sure there are no hand-gliders, but the drivers have laso's to make them swing bigger gaps, and both games have air tricks.

Just with this and the upcoming Smash Brothers clone, it seems Sony is trying to expand their library by copying Nintendo.

"seems more like a unique twist off Nintendo's Idea"

what idea specifically?

The whole Kart Racing physics look awefully similar to Mario Kart.

"the drivers have laso's to make them swing bigger gaps"

lasos came from the original lbp games...

Yes, but they were included in a way most similar to Mario Kart 7. Sony easily could have made them weapons, or methods of cornering better/differently, but noo...they had to make it like MK7.

"both games have air tricks"

modnation had air tricks and it came out before mk7 and seeing as how this game builds upon modanation i'd expect the air tricks came from that as opposed to mk7

But it came out after Mario Kart Wii, which is where Air Tricks comes from.

"the upcoming Smash Brothers clone"

the game hasn't been announced yet and furthermore if the rumours are true how does it automatically become a clone?

What other game uses IP's from their franchise in a Smash em up title? Capcom always faces someone else (Marvel or whatnot) and everything I hear about this game seems like a Smash Bros immitation. Only time will tell, but I felt it's worth noting this game

... i find it funny though how when mk7 was shown to have kart customisation no one said that they may have gotten the idea from modnation, but i guess thats how things work as nintendo is apparently the only company to come up with anything

Again, Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii beat Mod Nation Racers to this. However the way LBP is doing it, I would say is different enough to be unique. Just the gameplay....damnrip off from the video in the OP if you ask me.

Really....now Mario Kart's status is being questioned by Crash Team and LBP? What? What? What? Makes no sense, you people need to play more then just Sony games.
