'LittleBigPlanet' Beta This Month

Posted by John Manalang - Wednesday, September 03, 2008 9:05 AM

Media Molecule is making sure their anticipated platformer, LittleBigPlanet, is in tip-top shape when it launches this October 21. And to everyone's luck, they're turning to the public for assurance as Sony is planning to host a public beta test for the title this month.

According to the PlaystationBoard post, the beta test will focus more on the multiplayer aspect of the title--content uploads, downloads, sharing and more. "This kind of testing is often referred to as a Stress Test, however we're looking a little more deeply into the game experience than simply throwing thousands of players at the online side of the game at the same time," as stated in the developer post.

Sign-ups and participation information "will be made in public in advance of the test". So as soon as Sony gives the go, we'll let you know. LittleBigPlanet, published by Sony Computer Entertainment, will be available for the Playstation 3. Check out the latest vid of the title after the cut.

If I didn't hate virtrually all platformers, I'd probably check this out. At a friends house.

This will not make people want to buy a PS3. Stop hyping it.

In the words of an iconic rapper from an almost as critically acclaimed film for all time titled, "2 Fast 2 Furious", ...."Hater." That's you The_Big_Badd

I already have a PS3 for LBP.

LBP is the game that says to us instead of being told what to do in the game, it's saying to us what do we want to do in the game.

Posted by loco91 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 2:59 PM

i havent been following the game much. could someone give me the rundown on it? hows it played?

Posted by husker_360 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 5:22 PM

Good news, you PS3 owners will save $60 once you play the beta and realize it's not worth it.

Really, Halo 3 Map Editor is more entertaining than this.

Posted by blakseed - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 5:44 PM

There's that crazy s$t. Your a 360 fanboy. Of course you would say that. You guys are famous for not playing a game and then trashing it. Unless it' s on the 360, then the game can do no wrong.

Posted by bill_lumburgh - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 5:53 PM

@husker

this from a guy who talks about how good infinite indiscovery and too human and fable 2 and alan wake are....wow
you guys got 2 good games coming out..gears and left for dead, thats it


thats really pathetic

Posted by husker_360 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 6:42 PM

@blakseed

Glad to know I've got a little follower. Heck, I've shut you up in every forum you've been on. Are you coming back for lessons on how I do it?


@bill_lumburgh

Yo are clearly a new guy, and we have never had a formal conversation, so don't act like you know me, you whiny little girl. I never said I was excited for infinite undescovery and too human. Look it up, if you can quote me saying it, post the URL and I will eat my words. I will not hold my breath for a legitimate answer.

P.S. You forgot Fable 2 and Fallout 3 among others. I only get excited for the REALLY good games. You probably wouldn't understand.

Posted by Aztec23 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 8:25 PM

Fallout 3 is for the ps3 too idiot. Also only gears & fable are the only good games you got comming.Left 4 dead is rumor to come for the ps3.

Posted by megaq692 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 8:57 PM

@husker

The only people who bash LBP are 360fanboys who hold on to their cancer infested 360(RROD) and hope and pray the good lord will give them some good exclusives. Gears and Fable..........and????

PS: fallout 3 is coming out for PS3 too stupid

PPS: Once the beta is released the game will be even more hyped, not the other way around.

Oh yeah and one more thing...do you think that you are some kind of cool person because you apparently say that you roasted someone in another forum. You even go so far as to say "I RUN THESE FORMUS!" um?????? yeah......

@ husker

PS: dont f#kin bash on a game and people wont get in a fight with u?ill make it as simple as possible dont click on ur mouse 4 this article.its that simple.so stfu

Posted by Tasomo - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 10:54 PM

Guys, just let the 360 fanboys rant.

It happens in every single mention of a game that isn't for the 360. If it's not for the only system they could afford then they must hate on it, for if they don't then they'd eventually realize that there's more to life than screaming racial obscenities over XBox Live.

Still, god is it funny to watch someone claim how badass he is on a forum. Yeah, there's a real accomplishment in life. A self-proclaimed notion that no one else will back up...yep...just more internet chest thumping. About as intimidating as Michael Jackson singing about how bad he is.

Dear Sony fanboys
I'm a 360 fanboy and have to say. LBP looks like it's gonna kick so much @ss. This is one game that I will defend from any idiot that thinks it will suck. You guys have an awsome game coming to you. I apologize for

husker.. he's an idiot who's mom only let's him play halo as long as he stops dating his sister.

Dont get me wrong still love my 360, but I think LBP is freaking sweet.

Posted by blakseed - Thursday, September 4, 2008 2:36 PM

@Husker360
Damn, I didn't have to say more than I already have. I think your over with in this page my friend. Time to move on.

Posted by TheIdealogue - Thursday, September 4, 2008 6:08 PM

Fanboys are just d-bags who can't afford both. Both consoles, both games, both controllers, etc. If you can't get over your own bias enough to take a chance on something new, you either can't afford it or your so set in your own ways that you're going to go through life being cynical toward things you know nothing about.
I've got a Wii, a 360 and a PS3, and I have more fun than anybody in here because I don't have to bash and flame a game that I might secretly want just because I don't have the console to play it. So while you tards are in here flinging poo about how much your console rocks (or more likely how much the others suck) I'm gonna be playing every console-exclusive game coming out. Get over yourselves, you'll have much more fun.

Now that I've got that off my chest, let me tell you about the few minutes I had with this game at PAX. There's a quality to the graphics here that unlike other games gives the right TV a sort of "window to another world" effect. We had about 5 minutes to play which obviously wasn't enough, but sated me well enough to make the coming weeks of waiting easier. The level we played seemed like it could have been traversed solo, but there were objects that could be moved together that made things go faster for the team. Of course, it was just a tutorial level so there wasn't much there that was drastically different from other platformers, but from what I've seen there is obviously limitless potential to create worlds unlike any ever designed.

I WANT IT I LOVE THIS GAME..I PRE ORDERED IT LIKE ALL OVER SO I HAVE ALL THE GEAR ALREADY
