LittleBigPlanet 2's Cross-Controller Expansion Actually Works - Push Square

Push Square: "LittleBigPlanet 2’s hotly anticipated cross-controller add-on launches later today in North America (tomorrow in Europe), and we’ve already been lucky enough to experience the opening couple of stages. For those out of the loop, the $4.99/€4.99 expansion adds several new cross-controller levels to the PlayStation 3 game. It also implements all of the tools that you’ll need to construct your own dual screen experiences, which can then be shared with the title’s online community. You won’t need the full expansion pack in order to play the user created stages, but you’ll still need pockets deeper than Simon Cowell in order to get set-up."

I've been looking forward to this and the trailer is cute.

It's just a horrible rip off of the wiiu lol. That requires 2 different consoles and doesn't work as well with more latency...

GribbleGrunger4139d ago (Edited 4139d ago )

please... This was announced and demoed BEFORE the Wiiu was announced. And if you want ANY true third party support for your Wiiu, you'd better hope that the Vita/PS3 combo give devs a good enough reason to bother making games of this kind. You people really don't understand how this actually helps you, do you...

Actually it should be the other way around. Vita and PS3 owners should hope this type of gaming takes off on the Wii U so that 3rd party publishers will do it on Sony's devices rather than just Sony. It will be much easier to persuade Wii U owners since every Wii U owner will be capable of this type of gameplay.

This type of gameplay needs a Vita and a PS3 which makes the potential customers much lower because you don't know exactly how many customers there are. You also run into issues like developers who may want to charge twice for the software, one for Vita and one for the PS3. Again that's a lot to ask and expect to become mainstream. There are simply more hurdles in place for Sony to benefit. We saw what happened with the Playstation Move and how niche that device was. Wonderful product (much like Vita) but hardly any software that really took advantage of it.

WalterWJR4139d ago (Edited 4139d ago )

How would you know it has more latency unless you have both consoles? In which case you got "ripped off"

BrianC62344138d ago

Maybe the Wii U is a horrible rip-off of the PS3 and Vita.

Yawn. It's an eight year old Nintendo fanboy. Run along and play with you new toy.

JonathanG4135d ago

Maybe the Playstation Move is a Rip-off of the Wii.

vikingland14139d ago (Edited 4139d ago )

I have PS3 & Vita so this might be an awsome feature. And I have LBP2. Kingofwiiu did you read the article? it states that it works seamlessly.

punisher994139d ago

Why does Nintendo fanboys always think somebody is ripping off Nintendo?? Last time I checked, Nintendo did not invent video games.

-Falaut-4139d ago

Hopefully this extra feature will be supported not only by first party titles but third party as well. I don't think this will happen though and will mirror the situation that the MOVE is in that regard (good first party support, no third party support(honorable exceptions: Portal w/ Move support and the upcoming Bioshock apparently will have Move controls built in)). The reason being parity, unless of course Surface takes off. Then third party publishers will have a feature that is usable across all three viable platforms (Wiiu - Gamepad PS3 - Vita Xbox - Controller w/ Surface).

There was also that leak/rumor (with pics!) awhile back about the controller for the Steambox having an integrated screen.

ZoyosJD4138d ago (Edited 4138d ago )

Notable games (released and upcoming) with move support: Beyond:two souls, Bioshock Infinite, Child of Eden, Counter strike: GO, Dust 514, Goldeneye 007: reloaded, Heavy Rain, Infamous 2/FOB, Killzone 3, LBP2/ SPM, MAG, MLB: the show, NBA 2k, Ninja Gaiden 3, No More Heroes, Portal 2, Resistance 3, RE 5: GE /UC /DC, Sly collection, Socom 4, socery, sports champions, the unfinished swan, Toy story 3, Tron, until dawn.

I consider this to be quite a good mix. there is literally something in there for everyone besides an RPG only player. I've had the option to use it on a suprising number of games I own and it can create an even more engaging experience when implemented properly.

I hope that the vita will at least see this many games with the option to use it as a second screen.

BrianC62344138d ago

I don't think Surface will take off at all. Isn't it $500 for one of those things? And up? I think it was aimed more for corporate users. If you want to spend that much just buy an iPad.

porkChop4138d ago

Not Surface. The Microsoft tablet is called Surface. The Xbox tablet app is called SmartGlass and you can use it with any iOS, Android, or Windows phone/tablet.

An update on the LittleBigPlanet server and online services

Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.

darthv72947d ago

It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.

Snookies12947d ago

Whaaa-? That's crazy. Didn't expect it to be permanently shut down...

Teflon02947d ago

It's still up on PS4, they just shut down the PS3 end because hackers on PS3 can't be stopped and go on the game making announcements that can't be avoided without having to go back to all the old game codes and updating to remove the feature etc. It's one of those sad and garbage things where hackers ruined a good thing. I'm mostly sad about the Vita, I'm not sure if I have my music stages saved to my Vita, meaning they're gone forever if I didn't save them back to it. They were good too :(

Profchaos947d ago (Edited 947d ago )

Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.

Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.

Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.

MadLad947d ago (Edited 947d ago )

Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.

Battlestar23947d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

I reread the article, and changed it, to be as honest on the topic as possible.
Let's be real, it was an easy reaction to have considering their actions of late.

***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet.

But now? He's a full time designer at Media Molecule working on LittleBigPlanet 2, one of the most anticipated titles on PlayStation 3. This is his story.***

of course there is.. He was stealth trolling stating all LBP contributors wasted their time making levels for LBP... I pointed out that some of the contributors for LBP + Dreams have actually got JOBs because of the CREATIVE console. Just like Gran Turismo fans

Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.

That's the thing I guess if it wasn't them it would just be someone else and we would still be in this position regardless of their intent.
