ModNation Racers

[Number45]

Has anyone been able to confirm whether this lock is down to the region of the game or the console?

I really hope this gets patched out either way.

Sucks but the online dosen't work anyway so no big loss.

i can play with my friends from china and america so i don't think this is true if it is then it doesn't apply to me, could be your connection or that the Modspot itself is region locked idk.

Are you all using UK copies of the game?

The region lock needs to be taken off. Or at least give people an options to turn it off!

William Ho, United Front Games’ Lead Designer on ModNation Racers, has confirmed our speculation:

“About regions: ModNation Racers works across all regions for all community features, but not for online races at this time. In order to ensure quality of service while synchronizing twelve players, weapons, and dynamic elements, we are limiting race matchmaking to your region (i.e. Europe, North America).”

The most important words above? At this time. OK, we admit it, we’re reaching a little.

So nintendo can do it with the Wii and MK but UFG can't do it on the (imo) much better PS3 system and PSN, wth????
