ModNation Racers would have to do something amazing...

...to be better than Gran Turismo 5. MNR looks alright and pretty fun but i cant see too many people getting it over GT5.

They have two completely different audiences that to compare them is ridiculous in my opinion. They are certainly not going to compete against each other. One is a racing sim, the other is an arcade racer in the genre of "play, create, share" that LBP created.

Why?

Because 8 year olds can tell the difference between turbo and NA now?

I also think that you can't comprare them. MNR is just a mix of Mario Kart and LBP and since I like both, I'll sure get it. I won't get GT5 though since I'm not into those ordinairy SIM (I can get somewhat into games where you can tune your car as it has somehow rpg elements in it xD)

I don't even think they are supposed to be rivals are they? Seems like ModNation Racers is LBP with cars. At least that's the impression I get from it. GT5 is an actual sim-racer.

Some of you people can really be useless at times. Obviously the two are very different but they are still racing games. I think what this game has to do to win over any potential GT5 buyers is develop a strong community thing. But pretty much any GT5 guy is going to buy GT5 and a lot of MNR buyers are going to buy GT5.

Its not trying to be better than GT5, so where did that come from?

i think the TC needs to change his topic to "what would MNR have to do to prevent people from buying GT5"

Trying to compare the two is stupid. JKnaperek

Besides the fact that you race, they are too completely different games. And in my opinion, Mod Nation Racers looks better (I'm talking about gameplay, although MNR does have a neat graphical design in my opinion.)

I highly doubt that these two titles are competing for the same customers. I'm getting both, but I barely consider them to be in the same genre. MNR is a game I will enjoying creating tracks for, and playing with my wife. GT5 is the game I'll be whipping out my G25 cockpit for and passing mofo's online.

Honestly, I'll probably get both. I love GT, and i also love the idea of LBP+Mario Kart.
