Servers go up tomorrow

The game servers will go up on the morning of the official release date which is October 27th. You may well get your copy of the game before that date, however the servers will only come online on the 27th. You may even get patched before that date, but that has no bearing on the servers being up.

So, we got our copies of the Brady Games LittleBigPlanet guide and it is a vast and wondrous thing.

There will be no sales pitch here, but the book is huge (300+ pages) and a lot of love and hard work went into it. So props to Martin and Shaun who did our end of the project, and a round of applause for the guys at Brady and Off Base, especially Christian Sumner and Keith Lowe.

Gotta hate the fact the dollar is so weak against the pound just now :(

how much do you think this would this be if it were to be sold in the UK? i've never bought a strategy guide so dont know if the costs are goo or not.

for instance the second amazon option (quicker shipping) works out at ?16.85.

I think most strategy guides around here probably retail for ?14.99 but can be bought online usually between ?9.99-?12.99.

It's a big guide at 300 pages, but you may be paying ?1-2 more for it than what it would be sold for in the UK.

Hardly ripping yourself off or anything, I don't think there is any plans to bring it UK side.

Thanks for that heads up. I have literally not purchased a guide to a game in years and years, in fact the only time I think I did was it came free with a pre-order, but I think I will be getting the guide for this game at that price. Just sounds incredibly well done, and with so much to find in this game, and so little time to play games these days thanks to things like house work and being married among others, yeah, I think I might get this.

I just went a bit crazy on Amazon for my PS3. :blink: :laugh:

  1. I got the LBP Strategy Guide
  2. I got the Playstation Eye Camera
    For use strictly with LBP and if there are any games in the future that use it, but it really was for custom images and textures in LBP.
  3. Finally, I bought SOCOM bundled with the Bluetooth headset.
    I got it entirely for the headset itself, but I figure for the extra $10, hopefully within a few months the issues with SOCOM might be resolved. Key word being might be. I almost went just for the headset by itself, but I figured it was a $10 risk, and I also do think I was one of the only people who actually did like SOCOM when I checked out the Beta, naturally of course when it was working. I also have a USB headset for the PS3, but it is a short line and I cannot sit on my usual couch when I use it, so I wanted a good quality Bluetooth.

I just worked a small side design job for someone, so that paid for me treating myself to the above.

Holy crap this patch is huge.

56mb is huge? :p

Probably partly due to the audio track being replaced.

I assume the game has DTS or some other uncompressed audio format, and the track in question is about 6 mins long.

For a patch it is. That's 3x's the GTA trophy patch.

Did they replace the track with a new one, or one from a different level?

so i think i have 2 levels left to complete to beat the game. i would say that the level designs progress from being "ok" at the beginning of the story mode, to "good" at the middle, to "holy crap that's awesome" at the end. i'd like to get a platinum trophy for this game, but acing some of these will be such a pain in the butt, let alone getting all the prize bubbles. i picked up the strategy guide so it should help quite a bit.

Servers are

GO

ps. Search for the level called "Trophies Ahoy", easiest gold/silver trophies ever ;)

gah, they had to go up right when i get to work. definitely gonna check that level out, though i already made a level with nothing but bubbles to get the 8x and 20x multiplier trophies. :laugh:

now we just need to organize some way to get the trophies for giving and receiving hearts. ;)

Servers getting hammered it seems.

By the way, long shot, but does anyone have a spare Nariko code? How do you even get it in the first place?

I have my Kratos code.

By the way, long shot, but does anyone have a spare Nariko code? How do you even get it in the first place?

i have a spare. got it in the US though, so i don't know if/how that'll work for you. let me know if you wanna give it a shot, and i'll PM it to you when i get home from work.

How did you get a spare? I thought it was for pre-ordering :laugh:

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
    • Now comes with a money back guarantee instead of a replacement! Hah
    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.82 Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.4.2550 Updated MPC Audio Renderer A few crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.
