[Official] LittleBigPlanet: Play, Create, Share!

Mind = Blown

Did you receive my amazing pinball table, Audio? lol

I got the message whilst watching a film last night lol.

Haven't booted up LBP to check it out yet! :p

Also,

LittleBigPlanet boss "annoyed" by controls

Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey has admitted that controlling LittleBigPlanet "annoys" him, but insisted the studio can "refine" this after the game releases.

With thousands of gamers currently getting an early experience of the much-hyped title via the beta, some have complained about the basic controls of Sackboy, specifically moving the character between planes in the "2.5D" perspective.

Speaking to Eurogamer TV last week, Healey acknowledged the issue, stating: "The Z [axis] movement is an incredibly hard thing for us to get right. There's times when it annoys me actually, but we can work on that if we want, and refine it. But on the whole, we got to a good place with it I think, because we wanted to cater for my mother and someone that's a hardcore player, so it was hard to get the balance there."

Healey added that the game had been designed so that changes could be made post-release, via a downloadable update.

"There's definitely room for improvement and we've got the channel to be able to do that as well," he said. "I'd really love to be able to do backflips and all kinds of things with my Sackboy, and there's no reason why we can't add that and refine that."

LittleBigPlanet is out exclusively on PlayStation 3 on 24th October. Check out our most recent LittleBigPlanet hands-on preview for more, and watch out for some very special LBP coverage this week and next.

Back flips FTW :p

I'm glad they do understand controlling LBP can be frustrating, however the forgiving nature of the game means after the learning curve, even if you're still dyeing, it doesn't make you want to stop playing.

Any refinements though, whether it's tweaking to make easier, or adding movement features is welcomed (Y)

And finally,

The Eurogamer TV Show - LittleBigPlanet audio design special

LittleBigPlanet is quite a big deal. We know that because the entire internet logged into Eurogamer at once when we doshed out some beta keys last month. In order to satiate a bit of your sack lust in the time until release EGTV has recorded a few master-classes from the top dogs at Media Molecule on how to make successful levels. Here's the first, all about audio.

Yes back flips are needed, as are sliding kicks and double/triple jumps. Mario 64 basically.

I haven't tried, but I take it you can't use a mouse in create mode? I think that would be cool.

Also, prepare to witness fail in it's purest form, when you see my pinball machine.

wow, lovin this beta so much i just pre-ordered the game from amazon. the only thing i hope is improved in the final version is the online situation. it lags so much its almost unbearable (i just did a game with kol and it probably took twice as long as it should of to finish the level).

also, can someone please tell me how to get 100% on skate to victory. im at 96 % right now and dont know what else to do. i've done the co-op thing with 2 players, but now im stuck...

edit: i think i need the lion sticker from the tutorials for creating, so i guess i'll watch them...

Very awesome. :D

I hope this is what comes with the Kratos code us ukanians got too, and I'm assuming you have to complete the level to get the extra costumes.

That looks awesome. I actually got a reply from Helen Woodey (Operations Editor) today about my code too, a week after I sent the mail. :)

In short:

  • It was caused by an error at the printers
  • They will send out the codes before LBP is released
  • They will NEED proof of purchase

Ok, an oddity today.

I went on, played some games with a friend, and then played on my own with some on-line levels, during one I unlocked something, which I don't know what.

But after getting out I had access to two pairs of shoes for my Sackboy?

items keep appearing, its odd, are they unlocking them over time or something?

That looks awesome. I actually got a reply from Helen Woodey (Operations Editor) today about my code too, a week after I sent the mail. smile.gif

In short:

* It was caused by an error at the printers

* They will send out the codes before LBP is released

* They will NEED proof of purchase

Don't want to send her a email and ask if we get this level stuff too with the code do you? :p

Just had the multiplayer lock up my system. It has done it about three times now. It does it when other people join. Also how do you get points in the Play, Create and Share thing?

from what i can gather, you get points from playing, creating and sharing. :p

I signed up just in case I get lucky and some other people don't.

Which apparently just happened. If you guys don't get a code from this shoot me up with a PM. First come first serve.

That was quick. I'll let you guys know if I get anymore.

LittleBigPlanet - Beta Created Levels

With the LittleBigPlanet beta coming to a close on October 12th at 23:59 GMT, we'll be getting everything ready for the launch of the game.

As many of you are doubtless aware, at present we are not planning to make shared creations from the beta test available in the full version of the game, however we're aware that a lot of time and effort has been put into what you've created so far.

With this in mind we're going to give you the choice! Whether you took part in the LittleBigPlanet beta test or not your opinion counts - would you rather that created levels and items from the beta test were available when the game launches, or would you rather we removed everything and the shared side of the game started from scratch? Vote before Monday October 13th, and we'll go with whichever option receives more votes!

Please bear in mind that what we're talking about here are levels that have been uploaded already, any save game data, offline creations or progress cannot be transferred into the full game.

So sit back and soak up a few tips from the master, Media Molecule's Dan Leaver.

    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.

    • That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
