First,an Important Note: No,I don’t have any keys to give away. If Sony takes leave of their senses and gives me a few keys to distribute,I’ll let you know. The demand for Beta keys has certainly been astounding. It seems like everyone’s itching to get a chance to recreate their favourite TV [...] While the internet’s going Beta crazy,some more has come out of the Game Jam at Parsons: This appears to be the animation in the winning creation’s creature’s brain..? MTV’s Multiplayer blog did a time-lapse of Team Awesome building their level. Team Awesome co-won “Most Innovative”;the lighting,the crazy platforms,the high jumps.. can’t [...] Well,word around the campfire is that there’re no more keys at Eurogamer (see below). And lucky gamers in the UK are already playing offline,with the servers not up yet for online play (tomorrow?). I hope we receive some details on the North American Beta soon,and I wish my European brethren good luck [...] [Big Update: Eurogamer is giving away 5800 keys to registered users now,and says the Beta starts tomorrow. (Further update:Eurogamer being overrun with traffic,relatively nonresponsive.)] [Thanks to all tipsters,especially Oxoc!] Beta codes continue to be offered on various European websites: Gamepro.de is giving away 250 keys,although the entry period ends today;[...] It looks like the 24-hour Game Jam event at Parsons The New School for Design was a big success. Team Sportmanship walked away with the “Best of Jam”prize for their large-scale punishingly-difficult Ueda-inspired level. PS3Fanboy has a good write-up with some pics and videos,including the good news: Thankfully,you’ll be able to play [...] “And,lo,there was a great earthquake;and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,and the moon became as blood.” Our trusty friend Sam has confirmed what I was so certain wasn’t the case:At launch,multiplayer Create mode will be limited to local players,not online. The ability to create with [...] Lots of activity on the LittleBigPlanet Beta,with a certainty of more to come. The first pieces of solid info came from the Japanese PlayStation sites,which told us a fair bit (anyone with better Japanese skills,feel free to correct me): 1. Japanese PSN users can download a Beta “ticket”application to apply [...] Just in case you missed it: Media Molecule announced that LittleBigPlanet has gone gold,gifting us a cool sackboy spaceman pic. Then the official PlayStation Blog spilled the beans on a sackboy spacesuit available at launch,as well as “first week”t-shirt. Certainly these elite items will have the intended effect of spurring on more [...] [Oops,I forgot to thank Alex** for the tip. Sorry!] While it’s not clear if it’s someone breaking NDA,or just gleaned from one of the public demos (most likely),there’s a list of 48 LittleBigPlanet trophies up on various websites. Since the list includes secret trophies,this one’s definitely worthy of a SPOILER tag,[...] [Update:Joystiq clarifies that the press release "was issued by an outside PR agency in the UK on behalf of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe". But they have received confirmation directly from SCEE,including the detail that the date is for all of Europe. They also talked to SCEA,who repeated that "We have not yet [...] | |
