In late May, ModNations Racers producer Dan Sochan told Kotaku a patch was in the works that would shorten the gameās lengthy load times. Today, IGN reports that such a patch will be out next week.
First on the list of tweaks coming via the patch, the outlet reports, is:
Slashed Load Times
Yes, there are still going to be load times, but Sony is reporting that in some cases those loads will be 50 percent faster.
A new casual difficulty will be added and it seems that players wonāt have to go to the gameās hub ā a journey with load times of its own ā to access online play.
ModNation Racers is a great-looking game with excellent track/kart/character editing tools. Being able to play it without sitting through frequent commercial-break-length pauses would be a delight. Letās hope next weekās patch accomplishes that.
