According to a post on the Official US Playstation Forums presumably made by Media Molecule, their long-awaited PS3 title LittleBigPlanet will be graced with a limited public beta sometime this month.
Swedish PlayStation 3 site PS3bloggen.se has received a press release stating that LittleBigPlanet will go on tour in playable form in Sweden during September and October, starting next week. This is the first time the Nordic public get to play the game.
Now comes word that LittleBigPlanet is basically done--and will enter beta in short order. In a post this week on the official PlayStation forums, a Sony developer going by the handle "Sam_Protagonist" flatly said "the game itself is all but complete." He continued to say Sony and studio Media Molecule are looking to stress-test the game's online mode, which will allow millions of people to upload content created with the game's detailed level editor.
You know you want one. In-game models aren't enough, no matter how adorable they may be. Now video game importer National Console Support sends word that Taito is getting ready to give a little SackBoy loving to the world in the form of official LittleBigPlanet plush toys!
PlayTV, Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet were the titles that brought 'Best of GC' awards back home for Sony. More info on that here, and click through to read SCEE official press release! What do you guys think? Did the right products win?
Sam_Protagonist over at the Official Playstation Boards, is a developer on LittleBigPlanet and has posted that a Limited Public Beta is still on track for September. He notes that it will be made available either through sign-ups or invitations, and that full information will be made public in advance of the beta.
The Sony Rep previewing LittleBigPLanet at PAX has publicly stated that Disney would be making DLC for LBP.
Speaking to VG247, Sony worldwide studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has predicted that Media Molecule blue-sky platformer LittleBigPlanet will be the biggest PS3 game this year on a global level.
TalkPlayStation.com writes:"In a recent interview, producer Pete Smith and interface designer Jim Unwin has revealed that the creation limits are at minimal. There is a thermometer displayed when your creating a new level, as you progress adding new content to the level the thermometer will move up and get hotter, the more you add the hotter the thermometer reads."
GameXtract writes "With LittleBigPlanet becoming the new title to watch out for this fall it only makes sense to see electronic retails scrambling to secure all sorts of promotional giveaway with their copies of the game. We have seen exclusive trailers from retailers such as Amazon, Wall-mart, and an exclusive Kratos Sackboy kit, but now we have found something equally as good. Play.com is giving away an exclusive Nariko Sackgirl character with your order of LittleBigPlanet."
Looks like this is the version that Play-Asia.com's "Asia Version" refers to, the Chinese/English version of LittleBigPlanet, likely to be released on October 30th by SCET for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore market. Since English is in there, I think I will get this instead as Play-Asia always ships Asia/Japan version faster, plus it's $5 cheaper than the US version too. More LBP in Chinese after the jump.
A European LittleBigPlanet bundle has just been confirmed for 399 Euros. It should be reminded that the pack will contain a DUALSHOCK3 controller and 80GB of HDD. Full details after the jump.
For those that might've missed it, Threespeech.com had an exclusive feature two weeks ago that unveiled the finalized LittleBigPlanet packaging for UK. Question on everyone's mind of course, what about the US? Now we're confident that most of you have seen our LBP Coming Soon Box at various websites, and perhaps even mistaken it as the final US packaging. It's finally our turn to unveil ours! Here's an official look at the US – LittleBigPlanet packaging.
As you can tell from the Little Big Planet News Site, "Sticker Mash-Up" is one of Little Big Planet's favorite ways to customize in LBP. And now you can decorate your own items with...
We IGN PlayStation folks are the dreamin' type. Sometimes it's games we'd like to see get a Trophy patch, but this time, it's all about the PlayStation franchises we'd like to see getting the LittleBigPlanet sackboy treatment. Hey, it worked for not only the lovely Nariko, but for brooding, seething angst factory Kratos, right? Just try to deny the potential cuteness for the games on our list.
Media Molecule's Alex Evans has explained how you'll be able to control the distribution of content you create in LittleBigPlanet.
PS3Fanboy writes - Chalk this one up as a LittleBigWin for LittleBigPlanet fans. A Sony representative has posted on the official European PlayStation forums to clarify the region locking issue, stating that "there will only be one region for the game.... a LittleBigRegion."
The Dutch website PS Only released an in-game picture that releaves some new LittleBigPlanet Trophies. The Gardens, The Savannah, The Canyons, The Metropolis, The Islands, The Temples, Expert Creator and one Platinum trophy.
