I dont understand these public beta releases... Its just a glorified demo at the end of the day.

The game is being released in 3 or 4 weeks, if this was an important process for media molecules they would or released it months ago.

The game has probably gone gold already, any bugs encountered will not be fixed in the final version.

Guess it just another way to build up hype...

Um isn't it obvious for LBP?

Getting it out now means there will be levels created for online mode day 1 when people buy.

Rather than online mode being empty, or limited to internal testers levels.

I've already started playing people's levels!

I'm loving Sony offloading all these public betas/demos, we've seen more from them than 3rd party devs all year :laugh:

R2 and KZ2 still to come this year!

Why do people obsess over what it's called?

We had this in the Socom thread as well. If we find things that are wrong regardless of what the downloads called it gives developers the heads up. They also get good server stress testing before release.

That's the most important thing usually, outside of filling an online mode with content (LBP's case) or just having the chance to play something early.

Ok, so having a collection of LBP levels is not a bad thing i guess.

Its not just LBP though... thats the thing. Seems like a lot of games are jumping on the public beta bandwagon these days.

Beta implies that the software is not finish and need debugging... Most of these games are practically complete by the time we get our hands on the game.

It's a great way to hype a product, limited selection.

Spot on... pure and simple hype.

Those guys who got the keys are bound to be huge fans already and feel privileged for getting into the "beta".

Im sure we'll see a LOT of screenshots over the next few days and rave reviews from the fans.

Well it's allowing people to test and play early, I mean, what on earth is the real complaint with that? :blink: :p

I'm all for trying stuff early.

Yup, excellent way to keep the 'lovers' onboard and the 'haters' out in the cold.

Oh well, seems to be everyone's approach these days.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
