You might be playing lbp2 sooner than you think (well the beta at least).

Archive: 126 posts

Well I guessed the beta may be out by july because of the fact the modnation beta came out 6 months before the game.<3

edit: mods you can lock this thread now because 1up confirmed it link:https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=28760-There-will-be-a-beta-soon! thank moleynator for the new thread not me		2010-05-13 17:57:00

You guessed!?
Dont post stuff like this only if you know for sure that its true!
And ModNation Racers is a completely different game from LBP!
So I doubt it. 		2010-05-13 18:06:00

Just because one BETA was out within a certain time frame from it's release don't mean that every other game will follow the same time frame.2010-05-13 18:06:00

@Joruto: Well... it WAS posted in the forum called LBP2 SPECULATION and suggestions, so I think this thread is fair. If it was officially confirmed it would be in the News forum.

But I think we should look at the LBP beta vs release date instead of Modnation. I think we'd have a more accurate guess.		2010-05-13 18:07:00

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlebigplanet

The first beta became playable on 23 September 2008, when gaming website Eurogamer began offering beta codes to its members on the same date, with a total of 5,800 codes available; the website quickly buckled under the influx of visitors, with many unable to load the site.[80] Subsequently, several other gaming websites including 1UP.com[81] and GameSpot[82] offered beta codes to their users. Players were able to play the beta until it ended on 12 October.

It was released in North America and Japan at the end of October 2008, and in Europe at the beginning of November 2008.		2010-05-13 18:14:00

Beta should be for:

1. New mechanics testing
2. New network protocol/servers testing (stress tests etc.)
3. and specially, they need at some user levels at launch 		2010-05-13 18:46:00

Gamestop guessing as always:> Xmas season is something special, it's a wave of sales before Dec 25 and earlier (but not too far) product is released then better, November is best (but not only) month to release game for xmas in marketing state point, Gamestop probably guessed by that

Yes that is a screenie of a beta build of the game, but there is no beta that is out there for us (the end user) to test and will not be one for a while if there ever is one.
That would be an internal build of the game. i.e. one that Mm use.

Mm have added an FAQ listing about a beta for LBP2...
http://www.littlebigplanet.com/en-gb/help/faq/will_there_be_a_littlebigplanet_2_beta/

As we get closer to launch we may have an online beta test, but there is not one running at the moment. Keep your eyes peeled for news later in the year.Note "may" have one, nothing is guaranteed.		2010-05-13 21:08:00

...?
I think you are missing my point.

Just because it may look finished doesn't mean that is the case.
Can I say it any more simpler than that?


whos to say there will even be a beta?
Exactly.

Neither Sam's post nor the FAQ listing guarantees that there will be one.
At best they point to there may be one, but nothing is final yet so if there is one we'll let you know (but no promises).		2010-05-13 21:53:00

True, but when there is information out there (from high up sources [Spaff and Sam]) pointing to it not coming any time soon, your speculation is a moot point.		2010-05-13 22:13:00

Yes. Any software these days needs to be tested. But not all of that testing of done by the end user.

For all we know this could just end up being tested by outsourcing professionally it to Testology.		2010-05-13 22:21:00

I personally am hoping they do NOT release a beta. When a beta releases, as stated, large amount of rush/excitement/frustration/fighting will break out on all LittleBIGPlanet forums. Another thing is that the people that are not in the beta will be deprived of the ability to find all the new features themselves when the play the game for the first time. I know those who don't get a code could just stay away from this site until the game's release, but you gotta think, a month is a long time to wait if you're addicted to LBPC and some of us can't resist coming back. Mainly, I'm just worried about excitement killing (aka, spoilers).

But I guess the game could benefit from one, but they also don't necessarily need one as most of the physics based stuff has been in LBP1 already, save gravity and anything else that hasn't been mentioned.		2010-05-14 04:36:00

Maybe not, there was a lot about the water mechanics that wasn't fully known until the NDA was dropped, and they could choose to keep the NDA until launch. TBH though, the benefits of it being a surprise are far less than the benefits of having a far more thoroughly tested end product, let's be honest. I'm sure the unexpected things like hourly system crashes would lose their appeal pretty quickly


But I guess the game could benefit from one, but they also don't necessarily need one as most of the physics based stuff has been in LBP1 already, save gravity and anything else that hasn't been mentioned. I dunno, there is a lot going into this game and the thing is that with something like LBP, it's incredibly difficult to test as the possibilities are endless. There are so many things that need to be tested, so many combinations of features that might break, that getting bulk testing for free is likely to be invaluable to the devs.		2010-05-14 08:54:00

One of those funny things about the English language. "Invaluable" actually means "QUITE valuable!"

And it's very much true, Alex Evans has stated that the biggest thing they have to always keep in mind about LBP is how FAST the community is to push the boundaries to their limits. A working calculator built on a massive scale was created in LBP1's beta phase, before the game even launched.
The best bet for them to get a thorough test of the game is to do likewise, and I'm expecting they'll probably do it.

That or it's a draw and everyone who doesn't get in gets all jealous, and starts hating on the people who did get in, which is what happened with the water beta.

At the end of the day, unless they make it completely open, there will be disappointed people, and some of those people will have got themselves too worked up and excited about the possibility of getting in that they won't contain their disappointment 		2010-05-14 17:59:00

Yeah that makes sense. I guess testing is more important than any spoilers or massive amounts of revealed features. Let's just hope they leave a giant surprise feature for when the game actually releases and all our minds will be blown when we find said feature.		2010-05-14 23:09:00

1 of course it is but mostly to make fans happy though is the reason why.
2 they probably will.		2010-05-14 23:42:00

sorry for the double post but read this.:http://www.mediamolecule.com/blog/article/we_really_need_people_to_help_us_finish_littlebigp lanet_2/

the important text? (Now we’re all settled in our new digs, we need to finish making a video game. In order to do so though, we are missing two vital Molecules, a Network Programmer and a Production Server Developer.)
(bolded the important stuff)
basically this means they need server developers. but the best way to test it is by using beta testing. which (hopefully) means that there will be a beta.		2010-06-06 19:30:00

I came up with a perfectly logical reason that could mean that the BETA is near. But then I forgot it...

But seriously, if this theory is correct (whatever it was). Then I'm a genius.

Well it's not like anyone would take him up on that bet... >_>

Sides, if there is a beta I'm betting it'd be like the LBP1 beta, so it'd be about a month beforehand and be used more to get people in... well, actually that may not worka s well since LBP is already out, so... maybe... LBP1 itself is the beta? ;o		2010-06-06 21:55:00

That or it's a draw and everyone who doesn't get in gets all jealous, and starts hating on the people who did get in, which is what happened with the water beta.

The fact that those that got into the water beta was pretty much a who's-who of lbp's "star" creators did make it seem significantly less than random.		2010-06-06 22:30:00

A lot of people who were famous on the fansites did get in and so there was a skewwing in that manner that might well have been due an element of hand-picking. However, in fairness, the vast majority of the people knocking around the beta forums were basically unknowns.		2010-06-06 23:00:00

They'll probably just say "there's a beta later this year" and that's that. No specific beta until the fall, like in 2008.		2010-06-07 02:35:00

<FONT COLOR="red"> Dang leon, you're helping me figure things out without even trying! THANKS BRO
But i got this odd feeling that we might be hearign soething huge at E3! think about it... when E3 hits, people see the vids... examine EVERYTHING, there will be something huge whether MM want there to be or not... with lbp1 we didnt know what the game was going to be like, so we really didn't care.... but in lbp2 there's stuff that we want more than deep fried happiness!

So, will there be a beta? Good chances there will be..
Will i be in that beta?

i think they learnt their lesson on using songs with lyrics. notice that almost all the songs confirmed don't have lyrics?

ps: only five more days until e3!

pss:this is what will be in the beta
the sackbots
the direct control seat
and of course the games new servers

what i hope will be in the beta
the grappling hook
one of the levels from the handmade arcade
the backwards compatibility		2010-06-09 22:12:00

Am I the only one who sees loads of the text on this page in red?

For example, under the quick reply text box, "Show your signature" is in red. Josh's sig is also in red. And some other stuff is as well....

It's normal in other threads, why is it different here? (Just so you know, Josh's sig is usually in black ).

Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: Just noticed, Silverleon and supersonic's sigs are in grey. Think I see a pattern here...		2010-06-10 21:36:00

you forgot about this post i made didn't you?


they could do what the develpers of uncharted 2 did and have 5 different parts for the beta.

like this
1 early
2 quarter
3 half
4 third
5 early demo

I'd certainly rather there was a beta and I'd also rather it was a private beta as that focusses feedback and improvement more. The point is that the beta testing allows for bulk testing that will oncover issues that the most dedicated and skilled group of professional testers would not come across. It also gives the chance for skilled creators to produce something worthwhile so that we can see genuinely good levels from the community straight off the bat.

Honestly, I think it's beneficial to everyone that we have betas for this game, even if it seems unfair at the time if you don't get in.		2010-06-12 14:12:00

It can or can't. What happens if certain people do not uphold to the beta rules and do not test for glitches and rather do it for fun? A public beta would be more sensible so that at least a handful of great creators/testers are able to help out greatly.		2010-06-13 05:18:00
