Hi all, as many of you may have heard already in an interview at Leipzig the senior producer for LittleBigPlanet announced that the game is region locked. This is in fact not the case, and all shared levels in the game will be available worldwide. The confusion arose out of regional differences in how moderation will work as there are different legal rules each region have to play by, and at one point this looked like it may require the game to be independent in each region - however this has been worked around and there will only be one region for the game.... a LittleBigRegion.
Those Beta levels aren't in the EU beta. More likely they are testing different things on each beta. I noticed in this video, this beta's level opens with a Zipper (EU's doesn't).
Different Beta Builds is more likely reason we don't see their levels.
It appears that the video is running off of a KOREAN CLIENT. What's more is that the quest dialog (i.e. "go do this and bring that cart back to the X spot, etc") is written i Korean as well.
So, while the maps may be sharable, if there is any text within a user-created map, those will obviously not be translated, which may limit the extent to which people will be able to share their maps.
But I have to say... those damn Koreans never cease to impress me. How does a country so small (compared to others) have so many talented AMATEURS? They really need to find ways to get these kids some real jobs so they can make some legit stuff on their own...
(and if anyone still has any doubt, these guys appear to have made this level as a tribute for a Korean movie; the posters shown early in the video)
lol, your preditcions are the most bloated and off mark...
remember this PM to me from one of your many accounts?
(MGS4 will easily outsell GTA4 on OPENING DAY Sales considering the fact that it will sell 2m in europe on launch day and a definitive 1m at launch day in JAPAN )
hehe
I must say, I do agree though, this game should do well. It looks great, but overhyping is always bad.
Er EVERY 'LittleBigPlanet' Video is AMAZING!!! ;-P
Can't believe after nearly 3 years out the xBox 360 hasn't made a Game that is as BRILLIANT than this Game??? If you want boring P.C Games stick with a xBox 360!!! ;-D
(bastard f*cker MGS4 has sold 670k copies in Japan that is equal to x360's LTD base in Japan
It has definitely reached around 2.5m-3m in europe
MGS4 will sell 10 m lifetime
LBP will tear away the TRASH BOX 360 this Fall
just wait for the reviews to pour in )
Let`s not forget his MGS4 sales prediction...
((MGS4 will easily outsell GTA4 on OPENING DAY Sales considering the fact that it will sell 2m in europe on launch day and a definitive 1m at launch day in JAPAN ))
And I repeat, LBP will do great, it looks like an amazing game.
I wish PS fans stopped labeling everything PS related as "Incredible" "Awesome" "Unbelievable" "Amazing" "Breath Taking" "Ground Breaking"...
...Because in this video what I see is a good platformer and I know it has much more potential than what has been shown here. However, judging by this video alone, there's nothing "Amazing" for a fully featured game.
Aw man the japanese are gonna have some very detailed levels, I can't wait to get ahold of this seriously, you look at that and you're like how is that NOT fun?! lol
if i could get a us beta key would be sweet, i have motorstorm pr demo,socom beta, premier access to R2 beta but no any sackboy action b4 october 21st yet and im dying to play it
Wow, does this game belong in Japan or what. This has weird asian game written all over it.
This is by far the lamest piece of garbage I've ever seen in my entire life. This looks and plays like it belongs on the Wii. I've never been so bored watching a gameplay video before. Wow that game is an embarassment to console gaming.
borgome... you are wrong as can be. This game will appeal to the masses. It will take a big chunk of the casual market, while still keeping the hardcore gamers happy.
Mario did not become popular from CASUAL gamers. Mario was a staple for the gaming community to grow off of. This game has taken Mario to the next level.
So you must like shooting games a lot. And that is fine... they are fun, but having your choice in genres is a GOOD thing. There are plenty of people out there that think this game is a very welcome breath of fresh air...
Endless indeed, so many ways to play the game. Playing story mode levels will is a completely different experience between playing by yourself and playing with 4 people.
Played user-created levels with a couple guys for hours, jumping from one new level to another, granted there were a lot of rocket levels, but some people are coming up with some great ideas.
im currently in the beta and I must say that YES this is the next big thing. This game is amazing from start to well.. start seeing as how it cant finish lol. But yes, this game will move systems infact im going to go out on a limb and say that this game alone even has the potential to derail the wii a bit with hype and such innovation. I mean already people are making brilliant levels.
The graphics are brilliant, the gameplay is spot on and i find myself hooked on this game! Just the beta alone deserves a very easy 10 on a 1-10 scale. I honestly cant find anything wrong with this game whatsoever. I was sort of skeptical on this game and worried that it would be too complex for casuals but that is not the case it all.
This game will change how gaming is viewed and played and quite frankly when i go back to playing games like Warhawk, COD4 and Halo they all really pale in comparison to this game. a perfect 10 in my book
The Casuals can get into this with no problems even if they never create any levels...there will be hundreds if not thousands of levels created by other people. All you will have to do is logon and play a new level...just like you log onto youtube and check out new videos each day...all for free. This game will change how we play and create games....Sony will now rule the console world...
LBP will be the hottest ticket this christmas...unless wii music beats it out....
That was a really well made level. I especially loved how the designers purposely lured players on the hill with rolling goodies followed by a flaming barrel and most of them (players) fell for it lol.
Kinda like video games are for kids? Since there are no blood n' guts, big ol' boobies, or expressive usage of the word fudge? Last time I checked kids know how to play, so anytime any of us adults want to have a good time, aren't we just acting like kids? I need a videogame where i sit around drinking cognac, smoking cigars, and talking about the economy.
That's a nice way to dismiss a good game. "It's for kids".
If you'd played any of it, like I did with my little brother yesterday, you'd know that while kids can get through it with some help, the game isn't just aimed at them, it's aimed at those of us who grew up on 2D platformers and those of us with creativity and those of us who can sit and play games with a stupid smile on our faces instead of an angry scowl as we frag the next noob.
A game comes along and reinvents and genre and people are always going to hate.
For Kids yes your right this is the type of game that kids should be playing not Halo not Gears not Resistance... And not only kids but this is an excellent game for everyone (casual gamers, women who don't play games like halo or resistance, and hard core players) hell this is even an excellent game for older people to play and spend time with there grand children.
Imad maybe this game isn't for you so what if it not for you stay out of the thread there are plenty of blood n guts games coming out soon enough.
Maybe it is a game for kids...Maybe I am extremely immature for loving the game...Maybe, but either way this game is incredibly well done and I haven't been so inspired by a game (let alone a beta version) in a long time...maybe ever! Call me what you want, but I am not going to let people with narrow minds deprive me of one of the greatest games I have ever played! I know I am not alone and if you think that it will be only "kids" playing this game you are very wrong. There has never been more of a reason to get a PS3 than October 21st!
I'am amazed someone managed to that in less then 24h with limited tools.
Just wow.
mark my words
This will make a killing in reviews and sales
Very good work.
Aw man the japanese are gonna have some very detailed levels, I can't wait to get ahold of this seriously, you look at that and you're like how is that NOT fun?! lol
Do I hear a bid.........
