LittleBigPlanet - 'Catch-All' Hype & Information Thread (UK beta codes gogogo)

From my thread on LBP at PAX. If you find the info interesting use it.

Q. Can I copy a level to a Memory Stick or USB drive and share it with a friend or copy it to a PC for upload on a LBP Level site?
A. He said that at launch you will not be able to do this. It's possible down the line, but copyright issues are big hurdles for this.

Q. Can everyone on one PS3 log into their own PSN account profiles? And if so will everyone get trophies?
A. Yes and Yes

Q. Every dev created level shown has had the distinction of being able to be made by the user, but there are big video screens in some of the levels that are basically tutorials. Will we as level designers be able to create these videos for our own levels?
A. No, they were made specifically as tutorials for how to learn the basics of the overarching game.
 
I need a LPB billboard.
I can trade you a picture signed by the warlord and barbarian and a 45 record of jerry lawlers old OLD entrance music thats also signed. lol thats what I got : )

This is going to be the greatest game ever released, I'm sure of it.

You can create a level based on potatoes, porn, The Beatles, or skydiving.

That's the right mentality to start creating levels.

There is no STOPPING YOU!

Lost all credibility.
It's interesting how the Mm logo on the Euro box is really prominent, but it's hardly readable on the US one. I wonder which box Mm had a big part in designing? :p
 
Awesome thread, I'm really looking forward to this game.

Also @Quaz: you're that pixel counting guy aren't you? I see you've expanded to counting materials now. Allow me to submit a humble suggestion.

It's going to be weird after LittleBigPlanet releases...

instead of waiting for the "next big game" to release...

it'll be, "oh, damn, I can't wait until I see _______'s new level"

Hmm, no. "It's still going to be I can't wait for game X." :X

Way too much hype. Time to go into complete media blackout.

What's even funnier is how times someone's unknowingly made reference to someone's username and that person popped up a few seconds later.

ice (or glass) is now just slippery material (like at E3), no freezing function now

this is old menu with freezing function: (build number 18596, last video is build 25343
Isn't it a possibility that they just removed it from this build and not the whole game?

I mean I wouldn't want them to show me every single tool, object and sticker that's going to be available in the final build. Some things are best left as surprises for you to discover after you buy the game and that includes create mode.
 
Is there a specific video people would recommend for folks not really feeling the game? I've looked at quite a few and aside from maybe the Wedding Reception one they look... not for me.

The one above that.

I'll update the OP a little later with the info people have added :) I'll probably revamp the Popit guide also.

Son of Godzilla - what aspect of the game are you interested in? Playing or creating or..?

I think if you're interested in 'playing', and you like platform games, then an example like the Wheel of Doom videos should push some buttons. A lot of the levels shown have been from easier levels, but those ones look to be from a more challenging one.

Okay, that giant wheel is amazing. Yeah, I was definitely looking at the game from the Play aspect, mainly concerned about how slow and floaty the platforming seems. But that giant wheel really sells the game to me, even if it doesn't really assuage my concerns.

Also I think you've got the videos backwards, the Part 2 leads directly into Part 1.
 
Turning into a block of ice was the main creator's favourite thing! The short bloke, I don't think they'll take it out if the short bloke likes it?

Oops, I will fix that!

edit - also re. platforming, it's obviously momentum based. But jump length or floatiness is dependent on how long you hold the jump button. Tap and you'll have a shorter more deterministic hop. Like in that 'wheel of doom' video..it demands some precision jumping.

Maybe they are printing the French versions and getting it there before they announce it. >_<

Probably, I picked up my ebgames Kratos yesterday and it was obviously bilingual.

I need an information online play is region locked yes or no?

You can play levels from any user regardless of region.

Whether you can play with anyone from any region..not sure if they've explicitly said that actually...(?)
 
Here's a bit of unconfirmed info from Leipzig: apparently you must finish the entire game before you even get access to the editor. Can anyone else confirm this? It would be kind of stupid, but on the other hand it would give you a lot of inspiration before you go in and just create penis levels...

i don't think (i'm sure no) because this function appear only in one demonstration video and after disappear in all demonstration, all story level video, all editor video and function menu video
they have totally removed this function in the function menu (you can see the function menu in lot of video) since several month

No, you have to play a few early levels to get access to it though, IIRC. Things branch off then...if you want to continue to play and collect more items, you can, or if you want to take a more create-orientated approach you can start doing create tutorials. Or you could do both.

If you want ALL the unlockable objects though, you will have to complete the game though, sure.

yes, and there are about a thousand items (object, material, sticker, costume...) to collect in story mode (aproximatly 50 items per level and about 25 levels, party game level don't containe items)
and apparently all level containe one way need a minimum of two player for access (this way is indicated with a board and a "x2" inscription with a sackboy stickers on the side) and collect this secret items
for collect all items, co-op is mandatory. it's a good idea
