It is rumored that Update 2.5 will have in-game screen capture using the PS3's hard drive, this would be perfect for LBP if that in-game screen shot isn't exportable. I can't post a link, i'm on my PS3, but it's on PS3Fanboy if someone could post the link.

Now this is a cool feature, but it is already said about LBP that it will have a feature to take pictures while playing. So you can take pictures of you playing and they are going to llink to other people, here is a interview about it. Eurogamer: How is discovery of levels going to work online? Obviously you'll have user rankings for your levels - but I'm thinking again about the Shrine To My Cat. How do my friends find out about that and go to visit it? My cat is great, but she's unlikely to be high up the level rankings... Alex Evans: The overview here is that we wanted to take web ideas out of various sites that I love - web ideas - and "console-ify" them. I think that text entry isn't an enormously enjoyable experience on a console. "We track the creators of the levels - so the people are as important as the levels themselves."We wanted to find mechanisms that were really simple, and one of those is tagging - so you can tag levels, and then you can search by a particular tag. You can also find recommendations, so if you enjoy a level, you can ask to find levels that are related to this level. Those are two mechanisms - there are four in total that I'll tell you about. There are many more, but those are the simplest ones. Getting more subtle, we track the creators of the levels - so the people are as important as the levels themselves. We have this notion of "hearting", which is basically where you favourite something. You can favourite a person or a level that they've made - and it's really powerful, because we track what you've hearted and we use that to push content towards you that we think you might like, based on other people who also liked it. "People who liked this, also liked this" - that kind of thing. Because we track people, though, I think you'll find a community building up around it - "he's really famous for making awesome levels", or even better, "he's really famous for his favourites list"! You have a favourites list, which is visible to others, so someone could be well-known for finding the good s***. We reward those people with Achievements and Trophies - we call them sharers. If you go in and play a level that nobody has ever played before, and then you tag it, you get bumped up the sharers leaderboards. You might then choose to favourite someone, not because of their creations, but because of the stuff that they're finding. Eurogamer: So those people basically become critics, in a sense. "You get a feed of photos, so every level has a photo feed, and every player has a photo feed." Alex Evans: Yeah, like aggregators, or critics. The final element I'll mention, which is my favourite personally, is that there's an in-game tool for taking photos - screenshots. You can frame what you want to take, like framing your face and taking a big close-up. Originally, that was used for making stickers in-game, so you could arrange a family portrait in the game - full of Sack Boys and Girls - and frame it. What's awesome is that, like Facebook, we know who is logged in under what PSN ID, and we know what level the photo was taken in. Within the LittleBigPlanet universe, we geotag the photo with where you were at the time - and we put Facebook-style clickable links to everyone in the picture! You get a feed of photos, so every level has a photo feed, and every player has a photo feed. You could be browsing around the community and suddenly see, er, Bob. Okay, he sounds cool, let's click on Bob. Then you see a feed of levels he's played, find one that looks awesome... Who's he playing with? Oh, he's playing with Jamie, who's got this awesome costume on... So, there's a social way of linking and browsing the content, which is totally based on tracking people as much as levels, through these photo feeds. We're even going to push those feeds out onto the web, so if you've got a blog, you could create a sidebar with a feed of people who are playing your levels, or levels you've recently played Eurogamer: Are you pushing that data out just as standard RSS?
