LONDON. "ModNation Racers" is to achieve the dream of an adult child lover of video games Car, Will Ho.
Ho longed to create a universal product that would make virtual driving experience accessible, fun and attractive in the eyes of men and women regardless of their age. The result of objective size is not a racing game in the old way because here the user can design their drivers, vehicles and even the channels through which to compete, either on an island in the middle of a city, in a field football or passing a mountain range.
The game, which goes on sale next May 20 for PSP and PlayStation 3, is the "first product of ambition" of United Front Games, the Canadian development studio headed by Ho and governed by the maxim that fun should be taken very seriously. "We wanted to make the racing game more accessible for everyone to enjoy. Furthermore, adding the possibility of creating extend the experience so that you can access a different game every day, "said Ho.
The philosophy of the game is to "create, play, share" as well as the careers and design offers the ability to compete online with other users and post their creations. The aesthetic is inspired by vinyl dolls used in design. "In a simple but powerful tools and deep" the player can draw, from a permanent body, cars, drivers and circuits more psychedelic.
The most interesting of the game is the detail that gives the generation of circuits: you can choose the environment, vegetation, soil composition, the shape of the curve or the inclination. "We have reached the highest peak in the power of the PS3," said proud Ho, who said that thanks to the personalization of content gameplay possibilities are infinite. "Obviously it is for people who love the racing genre, but also for those who simply want to have a good time because this game is for fun. It has to do with the simulation or domination, but with fantasy, "said the Officer.
"ModNation Racers" was born with the aim of seducing a wide range of audiences and for responding to this challenge the team was composed of nearly 100 people, men and women of different profiles. "In the future games will have to attract more people. (...) For this, we must strive to make more manageable controls, raising the production quality, make the stories very entertaining and believable characters for the product to connect with the audience, "said Ho.
"ModNation Racers" can be played individually and up to three opponents in a single screen, custom or predefined circuits, while the online mode allows up to beat 11 opponents. Whoever wants to go beyond mere competition can choose the story mode, a humorous story in which the pilot has to be converted into an elite driver.
When Ho was a boy loved racing games, a genre that continues to reap success and seek converts among the new generation of players. "I think the neat thing about racing games, making them attractive to people so diverse is that everyone understands the rules. No need to explain that they have to grab the steering wheel or reach the finish line, I know. In other genres I have to understand who I am, what I have to do, what I do, if I can fly or if I can jump, "said Ho.
Now he has fulfilled his dream of "Modnation Racers, Ho hopes that the title will become a classic of the kind, but the years pass, never expire and are having fun.
