Team behind LittleBigPlanet unveils ModNation Racers

Imagine a world where you paint a racetrack by driving through the air. Where the game automatically makes overpasses, tunnels, hills, and valleys to fit your creation, optimizing turns and smoothing out wrinkles so everything turns out exactly as you meant it to. Imagine a world where you can make a production-quality racetrack, replete with lighting, obstacles, powerups, buildings, and terrain, in about five minutes.

That's the dream of ModNation Racer, the PlayStation 3 exclusive from the minds that gave us LittleBigPlanet. It's a racing game where physics is integrated into everything, where sliding through a turn just feels right, and where you can customize your car and character into a near-infinite number of combinations.

Just like LittleBigPlanet, you'll be able to save, upload, and share your tracks on the PlayStation Network, and you'll be able to do it soon -- ModNation Racers is playable on the E3 show floor, which means it'll be coming to a PS3 near you very, very soon.
