[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.

Video: http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=15372

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...

Edited by houlty

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.

EGTV: LittleBigPlanet Expert Design Walkthrough

As many of you who are participating in the beta have probably discovered by now, this level design shenanigans isn't as easy as it might look.

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

    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete.

It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
