[Official] LittleBigPlanet: Play, Create, Share!


Recommended Posts

Also I have noticed that I can't shake the controller to get the jet pack off me anymore. Is that the same for everyone else?

Circle instead now.

Although I thought the shake also worked.

I played the Little Big Planet beta for a few days, how much different is the actual game than from the beta?

When I played the beta there was an incredible amount of system freezing and latency and it was not enjoyable - understandably it was a beta.

I believe they got complaints from Alzheimer sufferers about the method of removing jetpacks :unsure:

Seriously? That's ridiculous, they'd suffer when playing any sixaxis game, why not have both methods and have the sixaxis with an on/off option?

i haven't got the game yet.

so, is the game as good as all the hype?? just curious.

It definitely is. I went back to my local games shop just to pick up the game guide today as well. Only concern is online play so far... Hopefully they iron out all the online issues as promised.

20 meg patch 1.03 out just got back from Blackpool today so not sure when it was released.

Media Molecule patches LittleBigPlanet to v1.03

According to the verbose snoops at Eurogamer, Sony has patched copies of LittleBigPlanet to version 1.03 in both North America and Europe. As PlayStation 3 owners residing in the former will know, the game's servers are still offline.

The patch is designed to lighten server loads, apparently, which should help rectify "glitching issues" reported earlier in the week.

"We are aware that the online environment of LittleBigPlanet is having server performance issues, and we are investigating the cause," a Sony source told Eurogamer. "We'll have an update to the online gameplay as soon as we possibly can."

We'll let you know of any developments as soon as they occur.

Funny that, every time we have the Beta arguments it's always to "Prepare for retail" or something along those lines, yet it seems many Beta issues carry on to the retail these days ...

exactly. if potentially 0.01% of the population may get offended then a full recall is made, yet if the games not ready its still shipped? it doesn't make sense.

Thank hard drives and multiplayer.

PC games get this treatment.

To be fair complex games are going to need to be patched, we aren't living in the era of console games being relatively straight forward SP experiences anymore. The PS2 only had about 3% of it's population being online :laugh:

However some stuff shipping really is pretty bad. Look at Socom.

LBP has been working smoothly for me since 1.03 though.

Beta's make issues clear so developers can ready patches. Many of these PS games have gone gold, or gone gold shortly after betas have started, so launch goes ahead. (LBP Muslim incident aside).

Not every patch is going to be day 1 or done during the beta stages.

If things are worked out quickly, fuss will be minimal.

Although something like Socom really shouldn't have shipped, but alas they've patched it fairly quickly.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
