The only problem I see with games like Modnation Racers, is they have an identity problem. And Sony knew this with LBP which is why they tried really hard to push the "sackboy" identity. But gamers identify games by their main characters or something in the game that is "tangible". That's a real issue for "creation" games because there is no central character, central theme, or central setting that mainstream gamers can grasp onto. It also makes marketing the title rather difficult.

So although it does have that similarity to Mario Kart, the lack of a true identity could hold it back. People go in an ask for a Mario game or look for that red plumber. That's something that will hold this game back unless an extremely effective marketing campaign can be drawn out by Sony.

I don't doubt for a second the loyal Sony userbase (which by sales has shown to be a very consistent buying userbase) will probably buy the title in masses, but getting that mainstream support could hold it back to being more successful than other new IPs.

Your prediction will fail very hard.

Here are few things that should beat Modnation Racers

1. Red Dead Redemption
2. Alan Wake
3. The game that Natal is bundled with
4. The game that Move is bundled with
5. The game that Wii Vitality is bundled with
6. A new 3DS game
7. LA Noire
8. Just Dance is a 2009 title, but sales in 2010 will probably easily beat Modnation racers

Other new games that could easily beat Modnation racers are Heavy Rain, Alien Vs. Predator, Bayonetta, Darksiders, Vanquish, The new shattered spiderman game, and more. We'll see.

I would be very, very surprised if Modnation racers could beat Red Dead Redemption though.

Finally, the Sonic kart racing game has been selling terribly on both PS3 and 360.



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D

You are right.. that is a bold statement



“Absolutely, we can do much more with it. I don’t know if we are even close to 50 percent of PlayStation 3’s power at this point,” said Asmussen about God of War 3.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Don't forget Agent for the PS3 IF it releases this year.

6+ million for Modnation Racer? LOL, hell no.

Were you one of the people that thought LittleBigPlanet was going to put the PS3 above the Wii?



Notorius.A.i.G on 04 April 2010

I predict :

Metacritic Score : 92

First Week : 600 K

At the End of 2010 : 2 Million

I personally think Red Dead Redemption could be the best new selling IP this year.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Isn't that a sequel to Red Dead Revolver?

Nope, it'll be Nunokuni. 2m+ in Japan alone.

That brings to light another potential contender, then: The Last Story.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
