News by Games Industry.biz

Today 14:38

The release of Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation 3 title LittleBigPlanet has been delayed in Europe, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

The game was due for release next week, 24th October, but now some retailers are estimating the game may be delayed by three weeks until 14th November.

However, GamesIndustry.biz understands that the title may not suffer such a long delay to retail, and a new date is expected to be announced by Sony shortly.

LittleBigPlanet has reviewed incredibly well in the specialist press and anticipation is high from consumers who have already had access to the beta of the game.

Sony has said that the game is a system seller for the PlayStation 3, and the title is considered one of the most important releases for the home console this Christmas.

More details to follow.

So fricking lame, yet another delayed game!

WHY????

Someone on neogaf found this:

The neogaf thread on Little Big Planet is going nuts at the moment, but it now looks like the release date is still the 24th of October since some retailers are retracting the delay emails.

I don't think anyone knows whats going on!

I really, really do not think so. That would make no sense at all considering that I have the game and I am playing it, and it would be delayed close to a month on your end Why?? I call Bogus.

Just Pre-Ordered my copy over at GameStation for ?39.99 (Yes I know I can get it cheaper) simply because I get a FREE SACKBOY PLUSH TOY!!

They have it listed as being released on 12/12/2008 which is rather odd...........

Ahhhh so that explains it. I searched around and found it for ?35 on Woolworths website this morning. However when I went to order it it said 14th of November where as all other shops say the 24th. I emailed them to see if this was a mistake before continuing (no reply yet). I guess not.:((

It's not been delayed... I don't think lol

Hello from zavvi,

We are emailing because you recently placed an order for LittleBigPlanet. You may have received an email informing you that the release date had changed to 4th November, unfortunately this was sent in error following an incorrect date feed.

We can confirm that LittleBigPlanet is still scheduled for release on 24th October. We would like to offer our apologies for any confusion or frustration caused.

Like I said, would not make ANY SENSE to me it would be delayed considering I have it, sounds to me like a non news story out of something people knew would get the community up in arms.

Uh-oh. LittleBigPlanet was due for release next week in Europe. Looks like plans are changing. According to GI.biz, Media Molecule's game is being recalled, and a new release date will be announced shortly. "Retailers are estimating the game may be delayed by three weeks until November 14."

According to our tipster Topsu, the cause for the delay may be due to a a song in the game's soundtrack, which quotes the Quran. Use of religious text in the game may be considered insensitive to some. We're currently investigating this story, and we'll update when we find out more.

:angry:

I don't know why people are doubting it? There has been many games recalled for this very reason in the past.

Yeah looks like Muslims are in to ruin the party again :/

To: Sony Computer Entertainment & Media Molecule

While playing your latest game, "LittleBigPlanet" in the first level of the third world in the game (titled "Swinging Safari":smileywink:, I have noticed something strange in the lyrics of the music track of the level. When I listened carefully, I was surprised to hear some very familiar Arabic words from the Quran. You can listen to part of the track here:

mt14.quickshareit.com/share/p...lip22503c0.wav

The words are:

1- In the 18th second: "كل نفس ذائقة الموت" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death').

2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "كل من عليها فان" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish').

I asked many of my friends online and offline and they heard the exact same thing that I heard easily when I played that part of the track. Certain Arabic hardcore gaming forums are already discussing this, so we decided to take action by emailing you before this spreads to mainstream attention.

We Muslims consider the mixing of music and words from our Holy Quran deeply offending. We hope you would remove that track from the game immediately via an online patch, and make sure that all future shipments of the game disk do not contain it.

We would also like to mention that this isn't the first time something like this happened in videogames. Nintendo's 1998 hit "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" contained a musical track with islamic phrases, but it was removed in later shipments of the game after Nintendo was contacted by Muslim organizations. Last year, Capcom's "Zack & Wiki" and Activision's "Call of Duty 4" also contained objectionable material offensive to Muslims that was spotted before the release of the final games, and both companies thankfully removed the content.

We hope you act immediately to avoid any confusion and unnecessary controversy, and we thank you for making such an amazing game.

Regards,

yasser

Nononono.

If LBP is associated to religion wars will break out, people will need to kill each other, and LBP will have to be crowned the most offensive item on the planet :sleep:

Load of bollocks.

This reeks of the Church thing with Resistance.

Damn sensationalists and they're whining about everything.

The song in question is about 2 years old, I wonder if you can still buy it on iTunes/in stores? :whistle:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake
