A Message From Ace Creator

Archive: 67 posts

Hello everyone! I was just clicking my way around the forum when I saw that Ace Creator had posted a message on his own profile concerning updates and DLC, in response to a message left by SketchNZ.


Hi SketchNZ (and everyone else),

As you can see, I do read messages. I didn't reply to amazingflyingpoo's because it soon became obvious why I was here: to give out sticker award codes to competition winners (I've had plenty of correspondence with amazingflyingpoo, so don't think I ignore anyone). Sometimes I can take a while to reply to PM's, but I hope no-one takes it personally; it's just an occasional bit of disorganisation on my part.

Anyway, to business: updates. We are not currently planning to do any further updates, but there is plenty more bonus content on the way, with themes such as Robin Hood, Wild West, King Arthur... I've said too much.

Watch for my signal.

AceCreator.

So! Two pieces of information here:
1. No new updates are on the way, as of yet. This could be good, as it means no chance of the third layer glitch being patched. However, it also means we won't be seeing a fix for wobble bolts or other problems for a while.

2. We'll be getting more DLC! Robin Hood especially has me excited.

Enjoy the info!		2010-07-21 17:34:00

Is Cambridge making a new LBP for PSP? I only have a PSP so I really hoped they would make a new LBP PSP. If they do then they should add the following,

Multiplayer, so 2 or more sackpeople can play in the same level.
Online Multiplayer, so 2 or more sackpeople can play ONLINE in the same level.
Sticker on sack person, so costumes can be much cooler.
A better create mode, my levels jam and then I have to restart the WHOLE thing.
The ability to move your hands instead of dance, Its cool when you move your sackperson's limbs. Not that their's anything wrong with dancing though.

And thats about all I really want.		2010-07-21 20:03:00

So pretty much you want LBP for PS3?
It's nice to see you have high hopes, but honestly this is the PSP we're talking about! I think it should be pretty obvious that it doesn't come close to the PS3's abilities.
By the way, LBP for PSP was released last November. Why make a sequel of game that isn't even close to old?		2010-07-21 20:40:00

the news of no new updates is a little of a let down, i think they should adress some if the issues facing stability of the game as well as issues like bolts and other things. but the dlc content sounds good im looking forward to robin hood.2010-07-21 21:51:00

Read somewhere that they have enough add ons to last through the end of the year.

I remember them saying that somewhere but if they accually mention every week till Christmas, then they will not get all the dlc out by then. We have only been getting dlc like every other week.

Unless they planned on releasing them almost every other week, we should be getting that dlc till next year.

Anyway, we really need an update to fix the Turbo! Pack bug. I feel that is the main one that need fixed.

Oh, and they could never take away the 3rd layer glitch, because we already have levels with it in them, so all we would need to do is to make a copyable level with it in it(is that confusing?), and then everyone can have the glitch.
So there we go, they can't take it away.		2010-07-22 01:49:00

Sort of sad that they have no updates planned. I knew we would never get anything huge added on like multiplayer, but it would be nice to get more small stuff like microbombs.2010-07-22 04:35:00

I'm really, really disappointed by this news...I would take a better core game than DLC anyday, and I feel it's a shame that there are sooo many problems (and annoyances) in LittleBigPlanet PSP right now that money comes first. It kind of reminds me of Modern Warfare 2...2010-07-22 04:47:00

i dout its a money comes first situation.

and anyway you can still creat, play and share levels as long as you make sure you have a copyed version.

I cant wait for the new DLC packs hopfuly they put in some new music too some time soon.

and why am i not getting any thanks from any1 Its because of my message we got this info
Im not coplaining or anything just saying		2010-07-22 05:16:00

The game isn't broken or anything. The game plays great and there isn't anything hugely frustrating as long as you are patient. People knock this game way more than is necessary. Just play and be happy. 		2010-07-22 08:55:00

I'll still play this game even if they don't patch it (probably more than necessary ), but it's disappointing that there are a lot of bugs and they're not doing everything they can to fix them, or putting them as first priority. Although DLC would be nice (especially if they have actual tools instead of just a couple costumes and ten stickers for $2.99), I would rather them patch the bigger problems now (Profile Corruption, Wobble Bolts, Piston/Rod Connectivity, TURBO KIT MATERIALS) and then throw out the DLC soon after that.

But whatever, I'll just have to live with it for now, finding loopholes and workarounds like I've been doing; or if all else fails, give up on the idea and create it on PS3.		2010-07-22 16:35:00

To my mind, "still as good as ever" means 'still broken' and I couldn't give a flying **** about costumes. All I want is for the basic mechanics to work as advertised, which they don't. This was just about tolerable when there was a promise of future improvement, but now that is not the case. The one level I was still working on is ruined because of the un-selectable material glitch and the problems with bolts and gadget connectivity are just heinous.2010-07-25 12:24:00

Yeah, they shoudl really fix the red screen of death! Also I find that sometimes a level will turn off and whenever you try to load it the PSP turns itself off again. It doesn't sound as bad as one of the PS3 glitches which involved a speeding motor bolt which left people unable to turn on thier PS3s 2010-07-25 12:30:00

I think the create mode is fine... in most cases.

Yeah, I agree, I have created over twenty levels on psp, and never was not able to finish them. The game is not broke, it just has it's quirks, and they can all be dealt with, but you MUST have patience. The red screen of death is a pain, but it happens, I start over and life goes on. I lost a level I was making once due to corruption, but that is the only time I actually got mad at the game, but it was really my fault for not backing up my data.

I do wish they would update the featured levels, we had the same featured levels in the US for four months, and now the same levels for over two. One of my levels is featured now, but I have made four more levels since then, not that I think they should be featured too, I just think it's not fair to other creators to not have the same privilege to have there levels in the limelight too.

Yes! Updating the featured levels would be awesome. Especially since there are only ?6? Levels. It would be nice if they had at least one full page and cycled them every 2 weeks or every month.2010-07-25 19:49:00

My Freeze Statistics For Today:
3 Normal Freezes
1 Red Screen of Death
And 1 Corrupt Level

So yeah... It has been really annoying lately. Though I do find something good does sometimes come out of freezing. Sometimes when I lose a section of my level due to freezing, when I come to rebuild it I push myself to make it better.		2010-07-25 21:29:00

Overall, I think that LittleBigPlanet is pretty much perfect. There's not too much tools, which prevents the game being over laggy, but it has just enough, so you can build whatever you want. A couple of drawbacks is the community moon...
There is a search by friends option, but as you can't add friends, it's a little bit pointless. Also, there seems to be an empty window in my pod, which may never be filled as Ace said there is probably going to be no more updates - which is fine, but slightly annoying.
People who complain about corrupt data, there is a solution, it's called backing up
How to back up data:

1: Every 5 times you save the level, exit to main menu
2: Find the level you're working on and copy it to another slot
3: Repeat 1 and 2 Until you have finished the level
4: If the level crashes and becomes corrupt (Turns PSP off when you try to load the level), delete the slot with the corrupt data and replace it with your backup.


Sometimes when I lose a section of my level due to freezing, when I come to rebuild it I push myself to make it better.
I totally agree, you seem to look at the game from the position of someone who is going to play it, almost critically. You then think, what didn't I like? You get a chance to fix that without deleting it all!		2010-07-26 13:04:00

I just recently started to get the Red Screen of Death on my PSPgo. This morning I just went into a level I was working on and started using Corner Editor to make my shapes. Twice in less than thirty minutes I got the red screen...Although I didn't lose too much I was still kind of frustrated...

Thanks for the support, Cambridge 		2010-07-26 20:53:00

Yeah, I save almost every time I corner edit something. But I would like to have faith in the games that I play I would like to not worry about something not connecting right or something causing my level to corrupt or freeze...

By the way, three red screens today and four freezes! I'm on a roll, huh 		2010-07-27 06:29:00

Backing up admittedly helps with the whole lost data thing, but I don't really see that as an acceptable 'fix'. I make multiple copies of my levels and shift between them every 20 mins or so, but the point is, I shouldn't HAVE to. If it had said 'this game is a buggy mess' on the back of the UMD case it might have been a different story.

Congrats to those that haven't encountered serious issues, but just because you haven't experienced them doesn't mean they're not there.

So far I've had 3 total corruptions, approx. 30 unloadable projects, 4-5 red screens and one bizarre issue that left me stuck looking at a broken level until I took the PSP battery out. As most of PSP create time sees me unable to access a PC, backup isnt always possible.

What annoys me more than anything is the way Cambridge are content to let these problems slide and focus on empyting my wallet further, when in fact I still haven't got what I paid for in the first place. I really wanted to love this game, but Sony aren't making that easy to do.		2010-07-27 13:38:00

Me too. I can just about see the point of them on PS3 'cus you can show them off to other players and capture them to create characters in your levels. On the PSP they really add nothing to the game.		2010-07-27 18:30:00

I agree with you 100 Percent! Yeah, there are ways to back up your data to prevent the multiple crashes, but no one should ever have to do so in the first place. Putting make-up on an ugly pig will still make it look ugly (Or at least, that's how I think the saying goes...)

Cambridge may have well just abandoned this game in terms of fixes at this point. They're trying to squeeze some more cash until LittleBigPlanet 2 comes out, in which case they're going to abandon this game period.		2010-07-27 20:15:00

Strange that there are so many mentions of the Red Screen on this thread, because I just got my first Red Screen yesterday while corner-editing. I thought for sure I would have lost the level or profile, but luckily nothing came out of it and I was able to corner edit the same object that caused the crash right afterwards with no trouble.

Still it's a bit disappointing that they haven't addressed the issue from the Turbo pack, that is the one problem that has me the most worried.		2010-07-27 20:30:00

1) Most of the time the Community Managers don't post anything unless it's really important
2) AceCreator is just a PSN/Username. AceCreator works alongside/with Cambridge
3) He probably only post here for really important reasons
4) He just posts updates if anything...And he may look at suggestions, but I don't think he ever asks for them.
5) He most likely will not reply. I'm sure he's very busy.		2010-07-28 22:44:00

Why not LBP?

Because MOH isn't using the PSP to it's full potential in the first place. When you turn on the WIFI, the PSP's CPU power is cut by 1/3... the PSP struggles enough with LBP as it is. Don't get me wrong, multiplayer would be great, but it's not going to happen.		2010-08-31 19:32:00

Yeah but it'll crash every five seconds. Plus EVERY single level is designed for ONE player. So all levels will become either ridiculously easy or impossible depending on the level. But it won't even matter because it'll crash before they start. Besides it's much easier writing a story for a level when there's only one person instead of trying to incorporate other people.		2010-09-01 01:11:00

You make a slight possibility for multiplayer sound horrible, Mr. Negative.

I would really like to see them try to make multiplayer. If they are trying now, I would love to know. Even if it won't work. Just to know that they haven't forgotten about us because of the PS3's LBP2. 		2010-09-02 04:03:00
