LittleBigPlanet Official Thread: Live in your world, play in ours.

Have there been any Muslim groups complaining about this? Or is it just one guy and this group of friends he's talked to?

I would just like to see them explain some things, like why didn't they complain 2 years ago(?) when this song came out, and about the fact that a Muslim did the song.

you missed his earlier comment, which was edited very quickly for good reason. This should be a topic about the game being delayed, not the start of some religious slurring. It's completely uncalled for, and only starts trouble.

i edited for that exact reason. It wasn't on topic or terribly relevant. If you're offended by it, please accept my apologies.
 
I need to know whats going on. I have an NA version. Its so close to release date here in the US. If this gets delayed it will hurt sales.
 
You can expect in Sony's statement that there'll be absolutely no specifics about the content that's causing the delay.

Which should lead to at least a few days worth of journos (hopefully) putting the pressure on Sony to admit what it was that resulted in the delay. I hope it creates as much controversy as possible so as not to make it worth sony's while delaying it for a guy and his few friends.

You've said this about 3 times now..once it's out by Xmas it won't matter.
 
The song is 2 years old...and it's my favorite song in the game. This is as bad as the Qu-arn song being taken out of David Byrnes and Brian Eno's album.
 
MThanded said:
why. Its his personal opinion he is talking about an family internal issue not an external one. Dont flame the fire man. Backseat modding is not needed.

His family issues are irrelevant, he's still being an asshole.

I totally read his post before he edited it. My problem is that your post wasn't relevant to the thread at all. All those poster calling for bans are uselss. Leave the mods do their job, you bring nothing to the discussion with that behavior (or the forum well-being).
If you were personally offended it's fair game but you should just post that you're offended and why.
 
Sadly i actually like this song in the game. I was playing the level with it yesterday. This is so crazy. LBP is a really high profile title and what a huge twist this late in the game.
 
LBP is so huge! Got the whole nation of Islam mad at it.

:lol

Man, that sucks though :'( PS3 needs sales bad, and delaying this until Resistance 2 time isn't such a good idea.

Love your avatar man.

Anyway, but what the lyrics say? Its something offensive like :'kill every arab or something like that ?'
Click to expand...
The words are:

1- In the 18th second: "كل نفس ذائقة الموت" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death').

2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "كل من عليها فان" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish').

well not to derail this anymore, but I was just trying to warn him. He obviously agreed with me. So what's your problem again?

That explains why the press was asked today to send all LBP review codes (and promos) back to PR...

LBP. Delay. Bitter tears. Pissed off Steroyd.
 
Again, as per the supposed original complaint..it's not the lyrics themselves that are offensive (even though they may seem that way), it's that they're from the Quran and mixed with music.

The lyrics could be about Mary-frickin'-Poppins - but as long as they were from the Quran there'd be the same complaint.
 
If I hear of an NA delay I will go buy some more copies right now. Maybe i can help gaf out and send them. My bank account will be crying though.

Keep some shrink wrapped if you can.

It's like the gaming-equivalent of stamps that get fucked up (i.e. they get more valuable).

There are muslims in America, right? WTF is only Europe getting delayed?
Click to expand...

Because, people in America only care if Christians are getting offended. :lol

If this happens, that sucks. That would mean it launches right with RFOM2.

Make sure you don't go M.T. Handed.

That was lame, so very very lame I am sorry for offending you.

I'll buy one off you if it gets delayed
 
From threespeech.

Just to keep you all in the loop we’re expecting SCEE to send us some official information on the situation with LittleBigPlanet very soon. As soon as we get it we’ll set it live, so keep watching this space…

This IS real

Everyone in NA better go to the store right now and try to hunt down some broken street date copies.

I actually laughed.
 
I guess this could explain why a certain AU online store just shipped their whole inventory to customers today. :lol

I guess this means a day 1 patch as well in case people who own the original copies will try to attach the song to their levels.

truth.

I don't see any other avenue other than recall, if the press has had to return their cpoies and promotional materials.

It's a massive shame. I'm sure many many sub-groups of European cultures could find something reprehensible and offensive in a relatively 'clean' game such as LBP.

I wonder how many people are offended because the narration is by a homosexual Stephen Fry?

All boils down to people wanting their beliefs and opinions validated by their actions to supress and negate other's opinions and intellectual works.

Lucky for those customers. I was half wondering if some retailers would put out their stock today and get it sold. It would piss off Sony of course. But I wish some would.

Truth. And there is free speech in Europe. This is just, effectively, giving in to bullies.
