MY first level is ready for the world. It was an amazing experience. I must say, creating is as much fun as playing it.

Possibilities are limitless. Detailed impression will come later. In the meantime anyone who wanna try the level, add me up to your PSN list. Also dont forget to heart it and leave feedback.

 

I cant publish it to whole world until I get certain amount of reps first.

 

Also please suggest a name for it.

You'll look for inspiration for levels, mechanical dilemmas or puzzles in every corner of your life. And in your sleep. It will take over your conversations with fellow players. You will become obsessed. You have been warned.

 

 

It is already happening with me. Man, this guy was so right.

LBP Levels Getting 'Moderated' Out of Existence

 

custom_1226246252943_chewit.jpg

 

There's a growing clamor on the LittleBigPlanet forums about level 'moderation' — if by 'moderation' one means 'summary deletion.' Without warning. It doesn't have to involve penis innuendo creations or anything blatantly offensive, either. Just create a level that references anyone else's IP, and you're at risk of losing all your work on the spot. Considering some people are spending standard workdays on these things, keep that in mind before you plunge into your Metal Gear Solid tribute.

 

Reader Robbie M. angrily wrote us after his level was taken down. "So many cases have no questionable content in sight, even ones with humorous light hearted violence have been taken down, like the popular GoW Demon Skull level," he said. "Whats the point of having a community driven game if you're not going to let your community do anything with it in an act to try and please everybody?"

 

It's not a case of removing the offending content and republishing the level. One's it's taken down, it's gone for good. One user posted a strategy for keeping a copy of a level offline and republishing it in case it gets deleted. But Robbie says there are instances of unpublished levels getting "moderated" too. "I've never been so infuriated over a game," he says.

 

Traffic on the LittleBigWorkshop discussion board seems to back him up. "This just happened to tons of levels in what seems like a matter of minutes, including my own level 'Failure To Launch.' " Says one user. "By the trend I see from the levels I can no longer play from my recent levels on my planet, its all about copyright. Some levels I've seen now unplayable due to moderation: Pacman, Batman, and Scrubs related level."

 

If "Failure to Launch" was taken down because it shares a title with a romantic comedy from 2006, then this is truly out of hand. The thread is more than nine pages long now, including a claim that a level based on the PlayStation 3 was taken down. Destructoid rightly points out the absurdity of a console exclusive being unable to refer to that console.

 

Seriously, what on earth did Sony and Media Molecule think would happen here? One of the first things you see in any decent game with a custom level editor is someone's homage to Super Mario Bros., to the point that it's become cliche. I understand that those levels are not hosted online, and that's probably what the lawyer-mans told them created risk of exposure to a lawsuit. But your freedom to create absolutely isn't as open-ended as they've implied. And this creates a huge chilling effect on user-created content for the game that was supposed to set a new standard for it.

i wonder what'll happen to LBP if most of the wonderful user-created levels get moderated out.

 

i read the article in kotaku, which i posted above and was shocked that MM could do such a thing.

 

nobody really bothered about that ?

copyright materials are not end of the world. DO NOT underestimate the power of end users. You will still get PLENTY of new level to play on daily basis.

More LittleBigPlanet Sackboy Costumes Are... OMG A SHARK

 

more_lbp_dlc.jpg

 

North American LittleBigPlaneteers are going to be on the receiving end of a downloadable content assault from Sony and Media Molecule starting this Thursday. And so is Japan. Plans on the other side of the planet for LittleBigPlanet include all manner of man and beast. We're getting the frog and gorilla, we know that. But that sweet Shark get up? Helluva lot better than that lame Penguin one.

 

Japan's first "premium" Sackboy outfit, Toro the kitty cat from the Japan-only Mainichi Issho, likely won't make it to these shores. And we're OK with that. We're still figuring out how to come to terms with the Ico and Yorda costumes we'll unquestionably buy, should Media Molecule whip 'em up.

LittleBigPlanet Gets MotorStorm DLC

Mike was right. No way in hell Toro the cat was going to make it to the US as DLC for LittleBigPlanet. Poor guy just doesn't have the following in the West that he does in Japan. But as for all those other animal suits we showed you the other day? They are, as expected, going to be coming to the US PlayStation Store this Thursday. Along with a suitable replacement for Toro: MotorStorm dude. Or, as they're calling him, MotorStormer. Prices for the costumes will vary, with the "sack-eating plant" (which was designed by a fan via competition) free, the animal suits going for 99c (get all four for $2.99) and MotorStormer going for the "really?" price of $1.99.
