ModNation Racers General Discussion

[Rawr_Its_Nano]

Well if you look at all the Mario mods out there, it's plainly obvious it takes more creativity to make a good character, no matter where the inspiration comes from, than it does to create that looks like complete crap.

That's what I was saying.

Only the best looking ones are going to get all the downloads, either way.

Which takes a level of creativity, to be able to understand how well the tools work.

But the most downloaded mario is not necessarily the best, I can't be bothered finding a better one at the minute but I do remember thinking upon seeing it that it wasn't even the best representation of mario.

Not that I think mario should even be the top mod, but thats a different matter.

You caught the irony of that too did you. A title of "Think outside the Box" most certainly does not mean using someone elses copyrighted material in any way, shape or form; it doesn't matter if it is "only once" or a dozen times.

UFG let us export/import photoshop files using your car/body templates...  hahaha

I only understood the first two lines, really.

I didn't have the patience to brute force my brain through the rest of it with Fitty staring at me like that.

 Yeah, I think irony was the word I was after, I was more concerned with the extremely dubious use of the word 'plagiarism' though.

Okay I know this might be off topic, but I need help

2 days ago, I was level 17 in online and had just over 5000 XP

When I played today, I was level 22 and had over 16'000 XP

Did my account get hacked, or is this something to do with the game?

Please help me!

Thanks

Creativity and talent are two very different but like things... you can be talented at using the tools in the game to shape and manipulate stickers and objects to re-create something, key word being re-create...

But it takes creativity to come up with something on your own and put it in the game... Maybe its not the creativeness that we should be questioning, but the imagination of those who copyright...

So, yes, they are very talented people, but the imagination is lacking...

Maybe in another few years we'll see some newer Idols pop up, but don't hold your breath... sonic, mario and those other icons have been around for quite some time, and they probably won't be going any time soon...
