I think you're being lenient.

I wasn't joking this game doesn't really get me excited no matter what you create its still a kart racer. Its a step toward a 3D LBP but it won't be like LBP2 where you can expect something completely new every time you log in.2012-07-11 20:15:00

All right then. Please enlighten us with your exo-cubic idea so that people with the Beta can try to implement it. 2012-07-11 20:42:00

This.
I don't have the beta, but I watched a lot of trailers and interviews about the games, and one of the videos had a scene of a sidescroller and a top-down racer. If you can make a first person shooter in LBP1, I'm sure you could make a platformer, even if you're still in the car.

I hate to be a downer Danny but... LBP1 has the tools given where it is possible to make fps its possible not probable...LBP Karting is good for making creative tracks not games. So think about it..what kind of platformer would it be like if forward is r2 and L2 is backward and no 3d rotation. LBP1=Platform for making games in 2D LBP2=Platforming for making all games (not saying they are of good quality in 3D) LBP Karting=A racer for making track and open world fields in a car (I think at max you can prob. make a midnight club or NFS game with missions and different cars and stuff. We all estimate that LBP3 or LBP3DDDDDD will be that thing we all love and will be the 3D awesomeness we want, cant wait for me to make Super mario 64 and sonic adventure ^_^

How do I prove that I'm in the beta so I can access the private forums?Go make a post in the official Sony forums, and then send a link to that post in a PM to warlord_evil and he'll grant you access.

(Note: Of course you should not just make some random post there as that would spam their forums. Instead find a thread and make some sort of meaningful reply.)

My older brother just got a code himself. And he rarely plays LBP at all lol. Like I said, they go randomly based on how many of the LBP games you own (Plus ModNation Racers).

Has nothing to do with whether or not you participated in previous betas or any of that other silly stuff.

:/ I'm still gonna stick with lbp 2. its hard for someone who's so used to 2d games and developing 2d games to go to a complete 3d environment. it was the same thing on MNR for me to. i know most of the big makers will go on. but some of the people who arnt racing types are gonna stay on lbp 2. no biggie 2012-07-12 07:24:00

I don't even remember the emails for my alt accounts. I signed up with them though.

@Nick, I don't think it based on just that because I signed up with three accounts and I have every game. So unless I got into the EU beta on my NA account (because I think I may have signed up on there and on NA) then it isn't based on just games.

Not gonna lie, it'll take me a while to get used to working in a 3D environment. I can see where TinyMo is coming from. I was getting really good at LBP2's create mode.. and now I feel like a noob all over again in this beta. But can't give any specifics for obvious reasons.

@Zero I don't think PS Plus will make it any easier to get a code. If you signed up for it and said you had a lot of games then you most likely will be picked. That's it.

they're using a completely different engine but given it that LBP-esque vibe (without anti-aliasing may I add) so I doubt if the costumes will transfer over. they did say they were working on it though

I have a question about the beta... When bugs are reported, do the developers work on fixing them and then update the beta? Or is the beta essentially always the same and we report anything we can find?

The first option sounds more reasonable so they can test if the updates will cause any other bugs/glitches.

You didn't like the gameplay at least? I admit, there's a few things that can be improved (not being specific ) but that's expected from a beta... I think.

You guys should look at the Crash Bandicoot prototype. It's a lot different from the final version that was released 4.5 months later. LBP Karting is about 4 months away maybe, so don't go off saying it's going to turn out to be a bad game. I'm sure that some of you that are in the beta could make something really cool if you put the time in.

I got my beta code from a giveaway, and I'm wondering how I can get into the private forums.

make a post, and send the link to warlord_evil proving you're in it.


And I agree, we should give the game some time to develop. Speaking of developing, I REALLY hope PS All-Stars has a beta. That game looks pretty bad. They need all the feedback they can get!

Yeah, create mode needs ALOT of work. I was expecting more, like to the point where you could make a Sonic Generations remake, but sadly I was mistaken. Just give us LBP3 already...

Well, the LBP2 beta worked in the first way you mentioned, and I think tge game is much better for it (you would not BELIEVE how buggy it was on 1.00,) but the Move beta worked in the second way you mentioned, and I think you know of the bug that came with that update…

The game needs a lot of improvement xD. not getting specific. but create mode is a little sayyy. lopsided. the graphics are good and crispy like he said. but thats practically it. also saying you might want to take some posts and delete them or move them to the private beta forum.

LBPfan lol. PS all stars is there worst mistake ever. Mario bros brawl much? oh well. I'm getting a feeling anyway Nintendo is actually getting ahead of ps3 and xbox anyway. Ps3 copying one of there most famous game franchises. Microsoft copying the WIIU with the smart glass thing or whatever its called...

It's just competition between the gaming companies. Crash Bandicoot was a complete copy off every Nintendo platformer, yet it still turned out fun, amazing, and set a new standard for game development. Well, I can't really say anything for All Stars, but some franchises have turned out successful after recycling ideas.2012-07-13 07:37:00

I don't think it's as bad as some of you are saying.

The 'story' mode gameplay is pretty much perfect. Same with the graphics. The only real issue right now is the slight lag - but that is what you should have expected while using pre-release software.

Betas are typically, if not always updated many times in a short period of time (the length of the Beta) to fix bugs. The updates produce more bugs which causes a cycle until the Beta is over. Expect anywhere of 3 - 5 updates over the course of the Beta.

By having the LBP title, the gameplay needs to be equally playable, creatable, and shareable. If it isn't they should just call it MNR:2.2012-07-13 16:26:00

It's really not.

You guys also need to remember, it's only in beta. If you've seen many games in beta, they're usually gutted and underwhelming. Karting will have a much more in-depth create mode when it's launched.

It's the US form. Hence the us.playstation.com. Since we can still register for that I'm assuming they're just giving out betas for US now. Anyone from EU who didn't get a beta better make an account on the US server before that one closes too.

Aren't codes still going out then? We still have some time to wait.2012-07-14 16:06:00

It's the US form. Hence the us.playstation.com. Since we can still register for that I'm assuming they're just giving out betas for US now. Anyone from EU who didn't get a beta better make an account on the US server before that one closes too.

Yea, or you can sign up there with an EU account. It works, because I tried.

If I get 2 codes, I will give the other one away for someone lucky person 2012-07-14 16:59:00

and thats why you use your dads email for your PSNID :3
I did, I also registered on the website of the United States, I have also registered with 2 accounts ... but that's not the problem ... I am from Mexico, and I only have 1 account registered with the U.S., so, bye beta
It would not be a problem to create fake accounts in the U.S., but I am disappointed that only in those 2 places. (USA and Canada)

Anyway, have fun with the Beta!

Of course you agree to the giveaway part, it's a fact.
And I am quite right in saying no eu codes, as I'm counting the community who signed up. The SCEE group were not required to. (and I got in, so I'm a sooper dooper mega smarty pants on all this)

Well, if I'm correct, you must have an NA code since only the internal testing group has EU codes. Try making an NA account and using it there.

You can also redownload it after you enter the code and realize you don't have enoguh space as i did. (i deleted fallout 3 game data 7GB!!!)

As for LPBK, I am really disappointed by the create mode (talk about hard to navigate) also the track laying feels a bit restricted. I know that there's a lot more improvements coming (seeing as there's probably a lot of stuff i'm missing from story mode) but i honestly couldn't navigate to emit something at all. I couldn't seem to turn the object when choosing to emit it and creating the object was even worse. Hopefully it will be a lot better when it releases, but i'm sure the story mode will be great.

You'll get better at it as time goes on, I'm sure of that. However, I agree create mode is difficult, I personally believe we need more hands on tutorials.

Really?! I must have missed soemthing then as I signed up within minutes and I'm yet to see an EU beta code for me to use. Been on Tiwtter and nothing or I'm too late or they're all US codes.

Anyone have a spare code for me to keep, I'll look after it, promise

UPDATE: I'm not even sure if the EU codes are going out yet? With codes going out quite late and long downloads, I really do hop they extend the beta. As IT seems unfair to those that get codes quite late into the beta as they will have less time.

We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the number of applications we got for the LittleBigPlanet™ Karting Beta! Unfortunately, because we already have so many applications we have had to take the registration site offline.

It's been truly amazing to get such a positive response from you all and we would like to thank you very much for your interest.

Thanks,

Check everywhere. If you have other email accounts, check those too just to be thorough. I was oblivious of the spam box (as I made obvious before) and I didn't even know I got an invite on the very first day of the beta. I missed out on a week, which I really regret, but hey, I got in. :hero:
But seriously, check a lot.

I know how you feel. I just got my beta invite (EU) but I'm away from home on an awful connection. Can't find my long network cable or home plug kit to plug directly into my router.

Beta is on 2% and it says that there is over 600mins left until it's completely downloaded. When I was in the PSN store it kept jumping from around 600mins to over 1000mins. At this rate I won't get to play it until Friday/Saturday. 600 minutes, seriously!? I really hate these awful stupidly slow installs & downloads on the PS3. Hopefully I'll get my extra long network cable to speed things up.

I too have an extra EU code, but I need permission from a certain someone before I can give it out.

But, if I do get permission, I will probably give it out exclusively to LBPC members on twitter.

So follow me! @DominationMags

I told people check your spam (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=71861-Register-for-LBP-Karting-Beta&p=1023753#post1023753) Guess it was lost with all the other posts then.....


Edit to Xenon

Here (http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/LittleBigPlanet-Karting-Beta/bd-p/LittleBigPlanet-Karting) are the forums, it's not a secret link since only those with the beta can sign into it...

I too have an extra EU code, but I need permission from a certain someone before I can give it out.I talked to them. It took four logs of cookie dough, but eventually I was able to convince them it was fine. They say go for it.

Next time though it will probably take six or seven logs of dough to get anywhere.

Anyone who recieved a spare EU code, I don't mean to beg, but I recieved a code that doesn't work.. trying to sort out the issue, if you don't mind giving me the spare I'd love you forever :3

EDIT: Just got off the phone with Playstation, as they suggested I try yesterday, they said my code is an NA code (what I thought) and that it would work if I created a new account, but any content I redeem on there (eg. Beta Test Vest?) wouldn't work for discs in my region (UK).. So, again, if anyone has a spare EU invite, or would like to swap a EU code for an NA one? :3

When it ends will we still be able to run the game, only with the servers being unavailable like with the LBP2 beta? I haven't had much opportunity to play.

If it's time limited would setting the system clock back help?

When it ends access is cut off. If you are playing to the last minute you get warnings like "this content will expire in 30 minutes" and then kicked back to the XMB when time is up.


If it's time limited would setting the system clock back help?

I'm fairly sure theres 2 clocks in the PS3 the XMB one you can alter and another one you can't access. There used to be a problem where the XMB clock would lose time but when you earned a trophy it had the correct timestamp despite the clock on the XMB being wrong.

Same as the previous games, they just add to your score. Except in this game, your time obviously determines the winner, so I'm actually not sure what the point in them is really.

Well your completion time gets broken down into points and added in with the points from the score bubbles, and then posted on the scoreboard.

So they're mostly pointless except that it can be fun trying to get the top score in a level.

Well, I assume with enough points in level you could be the winner without passing the finish line first. Also, the amount of points you gain for finishing first, second or third is tweakable, to make point bubble wins more likely.

And slightly related, you can also tweak the scoreboard to show times in stead of points, so it becomes a pure time challenge.

k. let the spoilers begin! look at this if you want to be surprised

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J---aiyznGQ


SPOILERS BELOW

*there is a 3D option
*there are 2 options. casual and normal, casual only allows you to review scores with sackbots, normal allows you to compare scores with different people.
*the music is AMAZING
*the create mode is similar to MNR
*the game is ALOT like Mario Kart. just saying.
*we never found out what the point of the story was because they only gave us the intro, and 6 other levels.
*the graphics are crispy, good gameplay, there is very sensitive controls. and you'll have to drift a lot.
*the game is very buggy. very buggy indeed.
and thats pretty much everything. play mario kart and thats the entire game in a nutshell.

Well, here are my thoughts on LBP karting from what Ive seen in the beta. Bear in mind, this post is just about all negative. It is due a little to the fact that Im not in the mood to have to learn another LBP creator all over again, something I have spent countless hours doing in the actual LBP games, not this MNR 2 game that someone decided if they added sackboy and a few LBP stickers, they could call it LittleBigPlanet.
I was very excited to play the creation aspect of LBPK, because it is 3D. It turned out to be a complete disaster; it's not very friendly to returning LBPers, as well as having tons of BIG problems which made me rage.

For starters, many of the controls are different and unnecessarily so, such as the undo and redo buttons, as well as making a material thicker and thinner. I already fixed this in my head, to make it as close as possible to how it is in real LBP games, however that was a while ago and I forgot all the buttons. Ungluing and copying an object are both menu based now too, while their normal buttons could easily have been used.

Right now, I should make up a title for something so that I can easily address it. In your popit, in your materials section, you have all your materials. When you click on one and choose a shape, you then have a "ghost" of that material that you can use to place the material or delete other materials with. I will refer to this "ghost" material puter-downer as "Clark" in my below paragraph to make things easier for myself, and you.

Ok, so when you take out Clark, and you place Clark's material down, whatever it is, it is now a physical object in the game, obviously. However, if you move Clark over and place him down again, even if the material you placed is not connected to the first one, and you back out of popit and grab one of the materials you just placed down, if you try and move one you will move all of them. Even if they are not connected in any way shape or form, you still move all of them. The only way I found that fixes this is going into the menu and selecting "make unique" or something like that. How about, if I place down a material, move over, and place another one, you dont assume its supposed to be the same object?
In somewhat addition to this, if you place down a material, then back out of popit, copy it(with the menu button of course,), and try and place it in the material you just made and copied, even if it is the exact same precise dimensions, the materials still don’t combine, and wherever the materials overlap(the spots where they should combine into one material), there is a glitchy texture instead because theres two of them inside eachother. Wtf?

Another issue with it is, I think, the most annoying one out of all of them. You have the normal x and y planes from good ol' LBP. However, you have the Z plane as well. This Z plane is always a visible grid(it doesnt always act like one unless you make it, which is fantastic because the grid is awful too), and you can move this grid around anywhere. I should say, you can move the Z plane anywhere. Say you want a cylindrical tower facing upwards, you would turn the Z planet on its side, and make the material thicker. Basically, all the material shapes in your popit in the other LBP games, thats how they come out in default in LBPK, and if you want them to be a tower, or just face upwards, you have to turn them on their side, and in doing so the Z plane turns as well. So, think about turning all those shapes onto their side, and now the grid is flat. WELL, if you place down a material, and you move that Z plane grid in or out from its current position(not along it; like if its flat, you can move things sideways and forwards and stuff, and if its tall, you can move things up or down), but if you move the Z plane in or out, any material you placeed down moves with it. So say you have a disc, and you want to make multiple discs on top of each other. The Z plane would have to be above or below the disc. Well if you place one disc, and you try and raise or lower Clark(remember him?) to place another disc, the Z planet grid will have to move too, and the one disc you placed will move with the grid. This is true with any material. The only solve I found was to back out of popit completely and get the material out again and reorient it, then place each one one at a time on top of each other. It may not sound like much, but this got very annoying, I cannot convey my irritation without losing your interest, which is probably already lost anyway, you probably went looking for a TL;DR(there is one).

Oh boy, the grid and angle snap. Two extremely useful tools, ruined. Ill start with the grid, its issue is simple. The grid changes. You can keep the settings the EXACT SAME WAY, and if you place down a cube and back out of popit, move around a bit, open popit, and take out the cube again, the same cube as before because its dimensions weren’t changed, I found that occasionally it would be off a little bit if I tried to get it inside the other cube, and no matter where I moved it it would still not be on the same grid as the other one.
Angle snap. In LBP2, if you go into the start menu and change the angle snap to a certain degree, the game already has it programmed as to where the set angles are. So set it to 90, and if youre holding something and turn that something, you can only move it to 4 different directions; up, down, left, and right. If you set it to 45, you can move it in 8 directions; the same as 90, plus the angles in between. Dead useful. BUT! And a big but. In LBP Karting, if you take out an object, and rotate it just a little bit, its now not on any particular angle. Well, we’ll just say its on a 10 degree angle. Then if you go and turn on an angle snap, and set it to, say, 90, the game automatically makes the current position of the object, at its 10 degree angle, its default. So if you turn it once, it wont face up like it should; itll go to a 100 degree angle. Then 190, then 280, Then back to 10. I cannot express how many times in LBP I turn an object, expecting an angle snap to be on and its not, and so I go into the menu, turn it on, and just rotate the object once and its oriented perfectly. And then, many times in LBPK, I turned an object expecting an angle snap and there wasn’t, and RAGING because I had to delete the object, turn on angle snap, then get the object out again. Urgh!

Also, THERES NO CORNER EDITER, OOOOHHHH MY GERRRRRRRRRRRDWTF

These are most of the issues I found with creating in LBPK in just a few hours. I have not a clue in the world how anyone managed to make that cosmos track that was found in the story levels of the beta, and Im forced to believe that it was designed with a computer, something that I havent believed about a single LBP level since that one bunker one with all the perfectly synchronized pistons. All I know is that I will most definitely never pay money for this game. For those wondering, I did watch a bunch of tutorials, but none of the ones focused on the stuff I addressed addressed my problems.

TL;DR:

Objects not touching automatically attach themselves.

Z plane is horrendously broken and almost unusable.

Copying and ungluing are unnecessarily menu based.

Controls are switched around and messed up.

Separate materials cannot be combined, even if they are the exact same dimensions.

Grid and angle snap are both almost useless.

THERES NO CORNER EDITER, OOOOHHHH MY GERRRRRRRRRRRDWTF



my email address doesn't really take anything not school or official related so i guess I have to sit out =/ LBP2 beta was fun though

Youre a tad late regardless.

I gotta say, even though I'm in the BETA, that just about summed it all up. The game's twitchy, the controls are screwed up, and create mode's crap. It's near impossible to work with. Playing levels works out ok, but that isn't what I'm looking for. Not the only thing, at least. Hopefully though, with all the bugs we've reported and suggestions we've complained about, the final product will be more like LBP, as it should be. Thank God it's just a BETA..2012-08-01 03:05:00

I'm on the fence about this, but i'll post my honest opinion about my experience with the beta:

I enjoyed it a lot, and this is coming from a huge fan of Mario Kart and MNR. It has the fast paced action of Mario Kart with the twists and "complexity" of MNR. I toyed around with the creation tools a small bit and made a little private training course for myself (barebone: no decoration, just a simple track) in around 10 minutes by just fooling around. This track making process is a lot like MNR which is simple to get into, but difficult to master.

Now onto other things: This game has seemed to overcome MNR's one "fatal flaw"..LOADING TIMES! I started up the beta and in a few minutes I was in the pod. Also when I started a race, it took a few seconds to load the level, which is drastically shorter than MNR's load screens.

Controls wise, I may just be really good at adapting to different control schemes and settings from playing so many different games in one sitting, but I found the controls pretty nice, though I do agree that they do need to be tightened up, but this is a beta, so I assume by December (or January), they will have that under control. The constant drifting to maintain speed though is pretty...irksome though, because sometimes, it makes me crash rather than help so most of the time, if I am on a straight portion of a map, I just drive straight

One thing though that I am worried about in this game: lobbies. If you want a successful racing game that focuses on online play as a major factor, then you need some organized system to play with people. Kind of like MNR's lobby system, the host picks a level and everyone plays it, and afterwards everyone rates it, and then the cycle continues; however the question is how would they implement something like that in LBPK...especially with LBP's system of multiplayer being through invites and playing with people who are currently playing the level, it would make more people just play the higher rated levels and not give the lower rated levels any chances of being played by groups of people...

Overall, pretty great time for me in the Beta, but I want to see how they work out a lobby system (IF they do...which I really hope) or some type of custom lobby system! <3
