LittleBigPlanet [PS3]

Don't forget that map won't import into the final build! So you have 13 days to build and enjoy it

Didn't know that. Bugger. A real shame as well, they should have filtered through the user maps and put the best 100 or so online from day 1.

Now I know this, I'm rushing my map through and will complete it tonight. I've scaled it back, not that I had it planned out, but it was going to be many, many levels going vertically, now it's only a few

I'll try and post a few pics later

They did say at launch that they wouldn't be transferable but they also said that they would include the best with the game. That may have been levels submitted via one of the competitions rather than levels that have just been published in the game.

I've always wondered John, is that you in the drugged up sackboy avatar or Thom Yorke of Radiohead?

[Matt]

POFS. This can suck my LittleBigBalls. For the second time I've turned it on to get a Corrupted Save Data error for no apparent reason, and of course it's lost my 95% complete map.

Bugger.

I'll wait for the full version.

No, not me!

I've got a replacement ready to go but I just can't be arsed changing it tonight.

And remember kids say NO, NO, just say NO to drugs if you don't want to end up looking like a sackboy!!


I was thinking about this earlier (The LittleBigPalanet thing, not the saying no, no, no to drugs thing) and was thinking that LBP is probably going to end up as a really good machinima creation tool once people have got the hang of it.

EDIT:
There you go, proof that it's not me from the NTSC Photowall.

What surprised me from doing a level was how precise the jumped is. I wasn't sure how the true platform elements would hold up, but I'm please to say I was putting together some high Mario level style jumps where precision is key, and the controls held together wonderfully. Mixing that in with some fun physics will make for some unique, fun levels.

[Rossco]

That is class! It must take ages to learn everything though and be able to make something that complex, just like the Tetris level too!

[Brad]

That's what makes this game so amazing. The Mario games are great but never was there any opportunity to combine the mechanics. I mean, in Sunshine you had Fludd and in Galaxy you have the Bee costume but in the LBP world you could strap fludd to the Bee outfit and make something different. I like being amazed in games and LBP amazes me every day.

My Beta is downloading now so i hope its all its cracked up to be (i'm sure it will0 and i can create some awesome levels! Just a question, is there voice chat in this game?

[Brad]

Apparently yes.

IMO this game really does deliver on the hype. If you like the sound of what you've heard it can do then you should like it.

[Cuber001]

Awesome about voicechat! It should be mandatory.

Ok so just finished 2 hours of the game. Man first thing, there is a LOT of tutorials. And man, does it take getting used to. I had and sometimes still struggle with the creation tool for just stickers. I'd hate to see what its like to create levels! But man what a game. Its sooo much fun. I have only completed the first 2 levels, and so far no option to build my own, but boy, what a game. Its fantastic. Can't wait to play online. Everything i had hoped for. This game WILL shift consoles, its fantastic. Shame the last 4 nights of trying to get a beta and only getting around 3 hours sleep a night has killed me. I'm so tired and my eyes are burning. But i want to play more, i just can't.

Just a quick question. There are only 4 MM levels in the game yes? So that is the 4 in the garden? Also anyword on whether there is a storyline to this game?

[funkydan]

There's 4 garden levels in the demo, but once you've played them all, you get another 2 moons; and on one of which you can create your own levels

[elaniel]

Yeah, there's only the 4 levels, then you open online play and creation I've been playing all morning and this afternoon again
