http://littlebigplanet.us.playstation.com/ finally loaded for me! no beta code yet...

[reaperchad]

When you guys get into the beta look up High Seas by me, its still being worked on to make things work better but its fine as it is.

I really would like to hear some ideas to improve it.

[megaglow_z]

Ps...i seem to be able to get it to load on the ps3 better then my pc.
-=Double Post Merge =-
here is a question..
Do we get to keep all the stuff we do if were in the beta?
And does all the UC content stay up as well?

[emcp]

and the rest are on cool levels

i just dont know where i am in terms of levels

The games fine, the problem is this, the disc-provided levels upon completion would result in you either making your own, or playing stuff others have made.

Heres the problem, right now, with a limited beta, very very few of the uploaded levels are any good... and thats with 12,000 or so users... times that by ten, or maybe even 20?, and you end up with a vast sea of ****ty stupid levels, in addition to that, the level editing system, while extensive and varied, is essentially crippled by the inability to change the way objects look side-on, add to this a fixed location 3 layer system, and theres only so much that can be done.
In addition, if someone follows you they can paste just about anything they want in your pod, including pictures from their camera, i can honestly see this function being used, and abused to annouy people or possibly more sinister ****, take for example, a parent buys their little daughter this game since it would suit a little girl.. random internet weirdo follows to her pod, slaps pictures of his genitals all over the walls.. what kinda **** is that?
Theres no way to moderate it either without crippling the games functionality, and anouyingly, the pod cannot be saved, only 'cleaned' so you could spend ages decorating your pod just how you want it, only to have someone step in and trash it, meaning you either live with it or clean it to nothingness.

I'll pick it up when it drops significantly in price, or when i see a cheap enough used copy, by that time hopefully the kinks will have been worked out, all of the retards will have moved on to other new games and left it to the hardcore LBP users, which will hopefully make the game really shine... until that point i see no reason to own it.

I have thought of that as well, but mine was a gift, so by the time all the idiots have gone, i should in theory be pretty good at it..lol

Supposedly, there will be a limit on how many levels you can publish, then you have to wait till they are tried and rated before you get to do anymore.
It was stated at one time that it would be set to 3 levels per person you can publish.till you get awarded permission to do more by the community.

But this is only what i have read and i don't know for sure if it is correct.
There is also suppose to be way to report abuse and weed out the idiots.

Imagine, 500k sales in the first week.. that's a possible 1.5million levels.. if we're kind and say HALF will be good, that's still 750,000 crap levels..

Yes, but by the time your done messing with it yourself,a few weeks im gathering...you can just look for the high rated ones.you wont have to go slogging through all of them, just skim the top
But thats just my opinion.

[MetalmanPS3]

Ya I wouldn't mind testing the beta, I never liked the look of the game, but its progressing into a real cool looking game. whether its a rental type of game or purchase guess I won't know till I try it. If anyone has any extra beta keys, send one my way if possible. If not see ya when I rent the game lol.

[megaglow_z]

Well, there doing 1000 beta at lbp news...but im completely locked out.I give up.

[nicodemus82]
