Release Date Confusion?

Despite this reveal during Sony’s Leipzig GC Press Conference:

it seems there’s still some confusion in the press. I’ve seen October 19th as the PAL release date in a few places,and GameSpot even tells Australians that “LittleBigPlanet will be getting its local release on October 28,a week and a half after the [...]

Pre-Leipzig Plethora

I promised myself that I wouldn’t do any more of these mega-posts. But with a ridiculous backlog,and the Leipzig Games Convention looming,it’s clear that I was lying.

Et tu,Wal-Mart?

Looks like Wal-Mart has an exclusive trailer to encourage pre-orders there as well. With even more camera angle goodness. And ghosts,and a skateboard passenger,and rolling the orange and football across a bridge,and…

Unfortunately,they do have the game in their database as “Little Big Planet”,and the URL for the trailer implies [...]

Hating on the Haters

When GameDaily included LittleBigPlanet in their list of “Games That Will Probably Suck”,the community responded quite strongly. Ripten even went as far as to post a rebuttal. GameDaily’s comments come off as extraordinarily uninformed,apparently based upon only watching the Sony E3 Press Conference. I’m frankly a little surprised,given GameDaily’s previously positive coverage.

Proof of Water? Counterargument.

Recently there have been a few forum threads about this screenshot:

Some are claiming that it’s proof that liquid water has already been implemented in LittleBigPlanet. “This Pink Rubber material floats”,therefore it must float in liquid. And look,it belongs to the Seaside Theme. And for a category to be called “Dissolvable”,there [...]

The Kerfuffle

Well,the LittleBigPlanet community certainly responded to the recent comments by David Reeves.

Quite a few sites picked up the news (TheSixthAxis,GamesIndustry.biz,SCRAWL,Sarcastic Gamer,Platform Nation,Edge Online,TheGameReviews,TalkPlaystation,LivingPS3,videogaming247,Evil Avatar,GameKult,PS3 Fanboy,among others). Some sites were positive about it (most notably Sarcastic Gamer’s take,which is worth [...]

Kotaku absolved;IGN is much worse

[Update:Actually,this IGN writer seems to know the release date. Maybe they just need better internal communication.]

IGN’s Insider review of Sony’s E3 press conference is hard to fathom. They seem to have entirely missed the idea that LittleBigPlanet’s release date has been announced:

[...] let them skirt the issue of when LittleBigPlanet will [...]

Kotaku notices release date,calls delay?

First of all,we love Kotaku. Always a great source for news,and one of the family of sites that inspired LiBiPl.net. That’s why it’s so surprising to us that they represented the October 2008 date confirmed at E3 as some sort of new delay. It’s been the planned release date for some months [...]
