3D PSA:Qore Confusion

It seems that a segment on the latest issue of Qore implies that 3D adaptations of everyone’s favourite PS3 games are just around the corner. Just in case anyone missed the clarification from Sony:

Unfortunately,our feature did not make it clear that the 2D game footage was included for demonstration purposes only. We apologize [...]

Tuesday’s Child is Full of Grace (and video games)

Well,the handheld release we’ve all been waiting for is nearly upon us.  And also,LittleBigPlanet PSP is coming out!  The joy of playing with Sackboy and creating levels on those long train rides is finally within our grasp.

Of course,no LBP release is complete without a little controversy.  The lack of multiplayer [...]

Little Bits for April 27,2009

All of the cool kids in the UK are picking up LittleBIGPlanet for ten quid or so,while it’s still over $30 everywhere I look in the USA.  (But then,sometimes prices are a bit inflated.)  Either SCEE feels that it’s worth discounting to attract people to PS3,or they expect to make back [...]

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,[...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
