"For those of you who've pre-ordered and are anxiously waiting, we've received great news from Media Molecule - the game code has gone 'GOLD' and we've started manufacturing the PS3 cases, manuals and most importantly Blu-ray discs. Meaning, LittleBigPlanet will hit stores in North & Latin America on October 21 (With Europe releasing the same week). But trust us, you'll want to be there with us during the first week. Why you ask?
During the first week only, to celebrate "Launch", LBP fans everywhere will be able to download a FREE, Limited Edition Spacesuit costume for your SackBoy on the PLAYSTATION Store. (Get it…Launch…Spacesuit…o never mind)"

More after the Jump.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
More goodies just for pre-ordering like I always do?
Kratos+Spacesuit+Free T = I can't wait for 10/21

Wait... so if they've gone gold, what about the beta? I'm sure if you let enough people at it you can cause it to crash (e.g. by making a really complicated physics object, but the thermometer doesn't go up accordingly and it slows to a crawl/crashes). I thought that was part of what they were doing.
I thought of a detailed example of how you could crash this game.
From what I can see, you can create things by adding, say, a big cube, then taking bits off that cube using the delete tool. If I take hundreds of little cubes out of it, then place a ball inside each one, surely this will have a MAJOR impact on the physics and collision engine. An object that is basically shaped like a giant grid with balls in each square, that is a physics object itself, cannot be easy to compute collisions against or work out the physics of the whole system. If this doesn't slow it down, or crash it, I believe there are tools to shrink an object, and duplicate it. So I just make 10 of these on one screen. You see where I am going?
I don't think, without public beta testing, they can tune the thermometer to handle all these issues. So I thought they were doing a beta to sort this out. Seems it's just a server load test kind of thing, which you still can't accurately predict from a beta going into the full retail release because you don't know how many people will buy your game!
WITH ONLINE LBP BETA!!!
