LittleBigPlanet [PS3] - Out Now!

[JP]

I haven't played the game for ages and I keep buying the bloody DLC. According to Kotaku, this week's money grabbing stuff that I'll probably won't use for months is...

[anephric]

I'll take Rorschach, they can keep the rest.

[Tig]

It's not often that you see positive news involving gaming but the White House has announced that Obama will be making sure that US kids get access to LBP centred courses in their libraries.

The competitions will include the 2010 Digital Media and Learning Competition, a $2 million yearly effort supported by the MacArthur Foundation that advances the most innovative approaches to learning through games, social networks and mobile devices. One of the competitions will be open only to children, to help them develop 21st century knowledge and skills through the challenge of game design.

This year Sony will participate in one segment of the competition and encourage the development of new games that build on the existing popular video game LittleBigPlanet.

Haha, they are awful!

[Darwock]

Yeah, really low quality after some of the great ones we've had before. I wonder if the costume designing has been handed down to the work experience kid? I think they under-estimated the importance of the eyes to Sonic's visual appeal (they nailed that before with the ape escape costume, so why not this time?)

Do any of these work with the PSP version? Seems a bit pointless to pay for costume parts that nobody will ever see except yourself, but it's a bit sad if the PSP sackboy is limited to what you get in the main game.

Aha! So that's how they are introducing the water element. Good stuff, I was thinking earlier how great it was last Christmas to get the bonus DLC and spend the holidays going through it.

I don't care much for Pirates of the Caribbean but MMs level designs are always great.

[Number45]

I will buy that pack for sure.

[Tig]

wow, where did that info come from?

[Malc]

Anyone got any pictures/detail on how the water works or can be used in your own levels?

If you sign into your PS3 and compare LBP trophies with another user they're at the bottom. I haven't seen it on any gaming sites or anything yet though

Anyone got any pictures/detail on how the water works or can be used in your own levels?

Water was announced in August, it just fills the level like a fishtank

Nice. I can finally create my Tomb Raider Underworld inspired level with underwater caves!

[Phar]

Looks like Sony have acquired Media Molecule, hardly surprising really, great developer to add to their already impressive line up though.

The announcement on their site is quite funny as well.
