Some minor problems w/ the front page news.

Archive: 5 posts


I three minor problems with the front page news:

1) Everything from Media Molecule's site gets posted on the front page, even if it has nothing to do with LittleBigPlanet. Sure, it is fun to know what their current favorite cake is or who wore a dog suit to work today, but that news has nothing to do with LittleBigPlanet.

2) Sack it to Me articles and posts from LittleBigWorkshop do not get announced here. I don't see why I have to go to three or four different sites to find out all the news about LBP. Sack it to Me articles sometimes have information that is not posted on the Mm site, and every once and a while something gets posted on LBW that isn't on the Playstation Blog or Mm's site. I would like to see these in the news.

3) No LBP PSP news gets posted there. There is a ton of news about this game since it is so close to the launch, but none of it can even get on the front page. Last time I checked LBP PSP news is LBP news also.

1. Yup. While MM is not the same thing as LittleBigPlanet, a lot of us are interested in the goings-on of their company. Their personalities are what make LBP so special, so it's kind of a fun insight. Sorry you don't share these sentiments.

2. Confusedcartman does his best to keep the site updated with LBP news, but he is human after all. You can't expect every little detail of LBP to make it here. Also, you are able to make posts in the news section as long as it's relevant. It won't be shown on the front page, but if it's big news, people will find it.

3. Good point. Since we get most of our info from MM (who are not making LBP PSP), we tend to not be on the inside track. Again, we invite you make some threads in the LBP PSP forums whenever it seems necessary. Confusedcartman recently made the LBP PSP forums more accessible by adding a link in the main forums page, so more people should be finding it (even though it is a tab).

I do share those sentiments, but it just does not seem right that that is on the front page while actual news goes unnoticed.

I thought that he was supposed to go through those forums every once in a while, and promote the big news to the front page. Also, if there is too much news for just one person to keep up with, why is there only one person keeping up with the news? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a news team?

I still think that forum should be searched every once and a while and some of the noteworthy stuff to at least get a chance to be able to go on the front page.

I know the news has been rather lax lately, especially on the LBP for PSP side, but I promise that's not for lack of trying! There have been other things that I have been working on and, to be honest, I simply haven't had the time to look through the news as often as I'd like. What articles have I missed that you feel are newsworthy?2009-10-29 03:32:00

Don't worry, I don't think that you are not trying. It is just that I never saw some major ones about LBP PSP, like how there is pre-order DLC. There are some others that do not bother me as much because I do not think you do merchandise news, but there was news about how there was going to be a LBP case for the PSP that comes with a Sackboy plushie, and there is a strategy guide coming out that covers both LBP PSP and the PS3 Game of the Year edition. Most of those are old news now (except for the PSP case one), so I don't think you should go back and post these on the front page, but I do feel that some you missed out on some of these.

There is one piece of recent news that I would like to see on the front page; they have been releasing exclusive developer diaries for LBP PSP on LittleBigWorkshop for the pass couple of days. They are on the third one right now, and it would be nice if you could share the fact that they are out with the people who use this site for news.
