Like middle-aged men and golf, big-name videogame characters – regardless of their backgrounds or god-killing aptitudes – just can’t seem to stay away from cutesy kart-racing games. First there was Mario, then Sonic (and Banjo), and now Kratos, Ratchet and Clank, and Nathan Drake have undergone the necessary cranium-enlargement surgery to ride in tiny cars.

A GameStop listing on the company’s website has PS3 game ModNation Racers listed for PSP and down for release in June 2010.

Listed only as ModNation, when contacted Sony declined to provide any details.

“Unfortunately, we can’t comment on rumors or speculation related to ModNation Racers,” a Sony rep told D’toid.

This wouldn’t be the first time GameStop outed a game before its official announcement – nor will it probably be the last.

TheGamerAccess is reporting that a beta for ModNation Racers is already underway.

The beta for the game – which was announced at E3 at Sony’s presser from United Front Games – is most likely to be an internal affair for now as the site claims the beta was being played by a Sony employee.

Gamers who bought the GOTY edition of LittleBigPlanet in the US will have access to the beta when it’s publicly released.

As for Europe, we don’t know if, when or how to get the beta. But we’ll send an email off to SCEE to see if there are any plans for the beta will come to Europe once available to the public.

Find more info through the link. The game’s out next year for the PS3.

United Front Games producer Dan Sochan has said in an interview with Edge that the studio picked PS3 as the console of choice they wanted to release ModNation Racers on because of the fact the PlayStation Network is free.

“As we were coming up with what we were doing and what we wanted to create, we spoke to some different publishers and immediately there was this sort of synergy between us and Sony.

And in terms of the hardware, the power of the PS3 and the PSN network being free – that we could make sure that everyone who buys a copy of the game is able to get online for free and then share all this content – were really important for us,” said Sochan.

Gamefly rental service has listed ModNation Racers on its website under PSP alongside the PS3 version.

According to the retailer, both games are slated for February 28 and considering Gamefly has been known to leak games in the past, it’s a distinct possibility that the PSP version and the date are both true.

Or, it could just be an intern screwing things up.

We’ll send a shout out to Sony and see if they respond.

Thanks, Siliconera.

The first trailer for ModNation Racers has arrived thanks to GameTrailers, and we have it posted for you below the break.

Yesterday, Sony announced a new franchise exclusive to PS3 from United Front Games called ModNation Racers. It’s all part of the whole play, create, share thing that LBP started and it’s a racing game.

In it, you can create “whoever, whatever, and wherever” you want to race and Sony says it’s only possible on PS3.

During a demonstration, a couple of little avatars were shown along with two cars. Costumes decals, shapes, sizes, all are there for full customization. A monkey in a suit was shown, we know you like monkeys, and the demonstrator dressed it up and put it in a purple buggy – changed the color, decals, and drove off.

The game demo also showed the RT physics which according to what we saw, seemed very smooth, and the best part is that you will have weapons – which is always a good thing.

A track studio is included so you can design your own track in under five minutes and save it to your hard drive for later use. To create it, whatever scene you are driving around in – be it mountains, fields, or brush – just drive your car in a circle and the track is created.

Add a starting line, and change the road to dirt or gravel as a whole or just spots of it, and then create obstacles like mountains, trees, and lakes. Dynamic lighting also comes into play with the changing of the sun’s position in the sky.

Sounds fun. CVG has shots of it here.
