Just Say No to Proposition Pluto

Here at LiBiPl.net we’re simple folks.  We don’t have a popular Facebook group or a snazzy campaign site.  We’re ordinary hard-working Earthlings, just like you, who know that our solar system has eight planets.  But some extremists are trying to trick you into giving Pluto a seat at the planetary table, and I just can’t [...]

Next time, you go first

Both sets of release dates (pre- and post-recall) saw many complaints from those who felt that they had a greater right to receive the game first.  At this point, I think it might be more appropriate to be thankful that someone else gets to be the guinea pig.

Since the LittleBigPlanet servers were turned on, attempting [...]

Post-Beta Pre-Launch Blues Part Five

More things to see and read while we wait:

Going to be in London next week?  I’m not, but MyLittleBigBlog is giving away two tickets to see Irish supergroup The Script at the LittleBigPlanet space in Covent Garden on Monday.  So go send in an email, and get out of the house and enjoy some culture [...]

Post-Beta Pre-Launch Blues Part Two

First, without commenting directly on the recent unpleasantness, I’d like to give some words of encouragement to our friends at Sony and Media Molecule.  I’ve been part of enough suddenly-delayed releases to know what a horrendous pain it can be.  If any of you have time to read this between frantic phone calls and urgent [...]

A few Beta notes of note

First, some wise words from Sam Protagonist:

Anything you believe is unsuitable or inappropriate for the game should be reported immediately. By posting it here the only thing you’ll do is encourage more people to look for it and insodoing encourage more people to create levels that people will take offense at. Content such as this [...]

Beta Rumours and Confusion – October 1st AM Edition

This one has already started to spread quickly:  Someone over on the Blu-Ray forums claims that they’ll be opening up the Beta as a Demo for the week before launch.  Despite the claim that “I heard this from SCEE”, I have strong doubts.  The poster goes on to say “The closed public beta is just [...]

Multiplayer Create Limitation – and I feel fine

“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 your [...]

Get this party started

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 pre-orders.  Oh, [...]

Interviews continue

First, ScrewAttack spent just a couple of minutes with Kyle Shubel at PAX08.

GamesIndustry.biz has a two-part interview with Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida was named as his successor as president of Worldwide Studios (part one, part two).  LittleBigPlanet still seems to be on Yoshida-san’s mind:

I can’t wait to see how consumer will create stuff [...]

LBP Level-Building Tips in October EGM

It seems that EGM/1UP’s Shane Bettenhausen (with help from David Ellis) has been making good use of an early build of LittleBigPlanet.  October’s Electronic Gaming Monthly has a nice article giving us some tips from their first level-building attempt.
