The truth about LBP image import

You might recall we announced the news that LittleBigPlanet will see the ability to import images from the PS3?s hard-drive ?before Christmas?. You may also have seen the denials appearing here, here and well, everywhere.

Considering details of the much anticipated new feature came straight from Media Molecule?s Alex Evans? mouth into our very own ears, we were pretty sure we didn?t imagine the whole thing but, as is our nature here at Attitude Towers, we decided to hold back from further commenting until more information came to light.

That information is now available, and it comes straight from the source?

An official release date of the import tool is someway off but the below image (found over at tawkn.com and sent in by countless readers this morning - thank you all) should add some credence to our original claim that the tool does, in fact, exist.

http://www.ps3attitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/1zegrWe spoke to Alex Evans himself and this is precisely what he told us: ?the work is done on the tool, and it just needs to go through QA and then certification.?

ification.?

With all this evidence stacking up you may be thinking ?Why the conspiracy??. With images now floating around the ?net of the new tool, why would Sony deny it is coming?

Let?s not forget the facts: Alex Evans might be a genius in terms of game design but he doesn?t work in public relations.

It?s quite possible that Sony did not want this information released so close to a holiday season when some people might be buying the PS Eye purely for the ability to enhance their LittleBigPlanet level creating experience. And, for the record, we don?t blame them. They have a business to run and such new information may impact sales of the (fantastic, and we?re not just saying this for the sake of it) PS Eye.

The tool has to go through QA and certification. What if it fails QA? What if Sony can?t certify it for release?

Until an official release date is announced we would like to close this with a simple note: just because something is denied, it doesn?t mean it?s not happening. And just because something exists, it doesn?t mean it will ever be released.

Has anyone else had trouble connecting to "Little Big Planet Online". I want to check out some user levels but the server has been down all morning.

Not working here either.

I was under the impression that the Space and Halloween costumes were going up today.

Tomorrow!

I finished it at about 5:30am this morning.

Was really really good, it reminded me of when I was young and first got my Snes and Super Mario World, that feel good feeling of accomplishment.

Well done to them on bringing back such a simple concept that was so very popular a good few years ago and giving it an updated feel and look, but also giving us the tools to do it ourselves.

That and I love dressing up my Sackboy. :D

Personally I think they could never run out of items to dress up with, I hope they continue to release tons more.

yeah they haven't worked at all since the game came out.

Hmm, odd, maybe if that has been turned off it was what was causing some troubles?

Well i have been avoiding this thread from when people started getting early copies until i got mine :)

Mine arrived yesterday, but after a full days snowboarding lessons i was in no shape to sit and play last night >.<

started playing today though, got my kratos costume :D looks neat, still waiting for my e-mail with my other costume.

i did get a little bored re-doing the first few levels, but it sooned picked up with the new ones :D though i must say it is a little confusing which path to take some some levels, guess they all need multipul plays :)

just need to get some friends to hook up and get the 2x parts :)

I really doubt they are selling them. Seeing as there is only two in the pic and there is no product/price tag.

True, there is no price tag, but the Sackboy does have one of those label things coming out his waist, so he must have been bought somewhere, or has at least been commercialised.

    • It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..
    • It is in fact being discontinued in the US in July.
    • It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
