"Comment From Zyketor:

The PSP version had 6 player Infrastructure Online multiplayer, but according to the official box for MNR: RT, it only supports ad-hoc, no online multiplayer (racing, not sharing). Can you please give us a for sure answer as to if Road Trip has online via infrastructure racing, not just sharing?

Vernon:

Hey Zyketor, we are supporting Ad-Hoc however not infrasructure as in Head to Head. With all of the other online features though, Ghost Laps, Regional Leaderboards with times beat notifcations, etc. We went with more of an Asynchronous online feature set that is really robust! We'll share more about all of these online features as we get closer to launch! "

"Comment From Xuphor:

Will Modnation Racers: Roadt Trip support a ModSpot ala the PS3 version for a lobby, or will it be lobby-less like the PSP version?

MVdor: We wanted to keep ModSpot unique for the PS3, but with Near, you'll be able to interact with PS Vita owners around you and share your unlocked items via the PS Vita's 'gifting' feature. ""
is online important too you?

That's pretty weak, especially if the PSP version had online. Does anybody outside of Japan even use ad-hoc?

-_- Does sony realize they are taking the franchise a major step back doing this? Next they will take out the ability to make characters. At least got the psp version free on the welcome back package. If I get a vita, I will just play that superior version.

Damn, I was looking forward to this only for the online.



Panama on 11 January 2012

I actually only wanted this for the online. Makes no sense to give this game superior track making features then take out online multiplayer.



Xxain on 11 January 2012

either way this game destined to be ignored. The studio behind this should move on.
