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

[Private Hoffman]

oh fuck. now it's locking me out of my own account? WTF?

You know what it might be doing. It may only allow 1 person to play at a time from the shared account. Is that why some people can download it but may not be able to play it?

Nice article on Reuters, I didnt know we are getting it as PSN download too, awesome!

Sony will release the game, both as a retail disc and as a digital download, through PlayStation Network on Oct 21.

Its not DD anymore, they decided to make it retail only (the game is 40 gigs, that take days to download)

I think reuters is wrong about that I recall it's no longer the case and they are using Blu-ray to capacity. I could be wrong though. Guled where did you hear it was 40 Gigs? The only dual layer game is MGS4 so far.

It was in that interview where the guy said it would be a different game on 360. It's should only be retail and it's 40gigs due to all the tutorials.

Siren was 10 GB so what? We will see what happens, i will cross my fingers...

 

[Aardark]

Siren was 10 GB so what?

40 GB is four times more than 10 GB. Hope this helps.

Where is Reuters getting their info from? January? Mid 2007?
They abandoned a PSN release months ago if not longer!

3 times more?

10 * x = 40
x = 40/10
x = 4

IT ALL SEEMS SO SIMPLE NOW oooooo

 

[mik]

3 times more?

Amazing. :lol

 

[Mesijs]

Why can't I connect a switch to rocket engines? Is that because i glued the rocket engines onto an object...?

Never mind... just made a giant rocket cat.

How can I colour it?

You weren't required to download all 10GB at once.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

I won't believe LBP takes up 40GB of data until I see the disk info on a PS3 running LINUX or a PC w/ a BD-ROM. The beta takes up less than a gig, has the only pre-rendered footage in the game most likely (the 90 second intro) as well as most of the voice narration I would imagine. I mean all the textures and items take up so little space, so even if there are thousands more in the final build it won't really matter. I don't think there's any chance this game takes up 7GB more data than MGS4, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Burekma]

10 * x = 40
x = 40/10
x = 4

I think the keyword you two are missing here is more.

LBP takes 30GB more space than Siren. 30GB = 10GB * 3, Which translates into 3 times more. At least thats how I understood GameGamer.

Touche, touche. I now come as an ass and all I have to show for it is a red-face. Fuck you all, I'm going to bed.

Not really. The more just implies it's a greater number. What if I said a game was 3 times less than 10GB? Following your logic, the game would be -20GB.

But.. then if someone asked you how many french fries you could eat, and you were like "ohh, I dunno, 5 more"...

Nvm, I'm gonna go throw myself into the highway.

 

[SetUhatU]

has the only pre-rendered footage in the game most likely (the 90 second intro) .

There are also several video clips (although horribly compressed) in the stage maker area. For example, if you want to add a race gate it will ask you if you would like to see a video about the topic...there are quite a few of these but I doubt they will add up to 40gb.

I think it's more common to say "4 times as much" rather than "4 times more."

Less first grade math, more LBP

This was the only thing that was posted on the blog just now :lol

no beta key news just yet.

 

[supermackem]

I hope it doesnt need a big install the full game im down to 2 gig as it is now with the beta and wipeout hd.:lol

 

[tehbear]

Most writers confuse "times more" with "times as much" anyways. Assume "times more" is probably used incorrectly and the author intends "times as much." No wonder people are confused.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

why are you guys debating on how much space lbp takes up?

they said themselves they are writing the game, then filling the left over disc space with levels.

so far we know there will be like 50 levels.

so, 50 levels + game = full disc

The mention I've heard of file size for levels is 5MB max. We know the size of the 'game' content, and it's less than a gig. Do the math, and it doesn't add up.

None of this matters at all of course. I just find it amusing when devs feel the need to embellish the size of their games like it matters to anyone besides Sony PR. MGS4 "filled up" a 50GB BD, but somehow that translated to only 32-33GB in real life.

Amazon is giving away a $10 pre-order gift card.

I don't know about all that but I do know I made a shape today and was told something like "you can't add any more to this object". I was gutted. Gutted I tell you.

Ok, I was being incredibly stupid with this item but gonna do some more experimentation.
