European Release Date, New Story Trailer And More!

Archive: 68 posts


From the EU PS Blog:

The year is drawing to a close, here in the UK we?re recovering from ?SNOW CHAOS!? ? but soon the days will slowly start getting longer again, so let?s celebrate with some great LBP 2 news?

European Release Date!
Over at Media Molecule, everyone?s been working harder than Santa?s elves, and I?m pleased to confirm that LittleBigPlanet 2 (http://eu.playstation.com/ps3/games/detail/item278594) has now ?gone gold?. The new game is 100% finished, and will be released on Wednesday 19th January 2011 across Europe, Thursday 20th January in Australia and New Zealand, and Friday 21st January in the UK and Ireland. Just four weeks more to wait?

Reviews!
All the folk at Media Molecule (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/tag/media-molecule/) have done a fantastic job of filling LittleBigPlanet 2 with even more fun, possibility, excitement, creativity and delicious cake. It's an amazing combination, but don't just take my word for it; you?ll begin to see reviews hitting over the next 2 weeks, and the first score is already in ? a delightful 10 out of 10 from Official PlayStation Magazine UK!

?Full of simple-to-grasp tools, all with huge potential ? and you could easily lose more time to LBP2 than any other game released in 2011.?

?Never going to build anything at all? This is still an indispensible package, rammed with creative potential and imaginative gameplay.?

Demo!
Even more excited now? Desperate to get even a small taste of that delicious cake? Then don't forget that the LittleBigPlanet 2 (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/tag/littlebigplanet-2/) Story Mode Demo will be available on PlayStation Store (http://eu.playstation.com/psn/store/) tomorrow, 22nd December. Here?s your chance to experience a few of the many cool gameplay additions, like the Grapple Hook and Sackbots, and meet some of the characters that will be joining you on your epic Sack-quest.

There?s lots more cool stuff to come in the new year, as we get closer and closer to release ? so I?ll see you all in January with more news ? in the meantime, Happy-Christmas-Holiday-Festive-New-Year-Seasonal Sack-Greetings to one and all!
Oops, one more thing ? after all that, I couldn?t leave you guys without a little more trailer-y goodness, to keep you going until 2011?

Men... story looks more epic done then i though, i'm more hype to it. I like how characters voice actors are actually the same as the one who recorded those bubbling noises to magic mouths, you can't hear the difference ^^2010-12-21 18:44:00

3 days later is not worth moaning about, we used to get games months or years later in previous console generations.

Sorry - I kinda doubt that though. Wouldn't it take up too much space? I'm not sure though - did the LBP1 demo have create mode in it?

Pure speculation.
Up until the recent announcement from Sony, there have been no official dates for the game for the SCEE regions. SO quite frankly, they are lying, but likely though no fault of their own, But probably under information passed on from higher up in the company.

Also if they know the release window but not the exact date companies always use the last friday of the release window.

Only three hours until the demo.

Remember that is based on average time of previous updates it can be an hour or more either side of it.

Yeah it does, "Next is the announcement of a single-player demo of the game. Launching on the 21st, the demo will also include the CREATE mode, so it should give a nice taste of what the game offers." I hope they are right!!

No need to be nervous they tend to take a few days to update the dates.

I am SO HAPPY! i can wait! well, this will be the best game for a long time. a 10/10 is awsome.

Then don’t forget that the LittleBigPlanet 2 Story Mode Demo ...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it WAS in the OP. IGN have got their facts wrong about several things, including stating in a Daily Fix episode that the beta was going public.

@Holuguin- When the demo was first announced, it was officially stated that the demo has create. Things change, but I hope this isn't one of those cases.2010-12-22 01:09:00

And you know that, how? Both Mm and Sony said it would, so until they tell us otherwise or until I see in the demo that CREATE is absent, I'm gonna stick to the belief that it is infact included.2010-12-22 01:17:00

Okay, I pretty much got from that trailer that Eve has a thick Mexican accent, Victoria said something about muggles, new Clive is a curmudgeon, and Higgenbottam has pies for eyes. What?

Hey, anyone else notice that they used the old pictures of the Curators, but the new story footage?

I'm so glad to hear the game has gone gold. Best news of the day, IMO. I'm a little compelled to play the demo, but I'm in the beta, so... If someone could tell me if there's more in the demo or not, then I might download it.2010-12-22 02:57:00

I'm so hyped up about this. I've been waiting for this since I heard about it early in the year. And this new trailer has gotten me even more excited about it (the mission impossible feel in it was so awesome). I only have one more month to wait. I'll be in school when it comes out, but I plan on preordering so I can have it on the 18th and play it that friday! This is going to be SOOOOO EPIC!2010-12-22 04:01:00

I don't think Sony or Mm have said at any point that the demo has create - it's just IGN that have said that, and they've been misinformed on several occasions. Still, hope you guys enjoy the demo ... one whole day before us. 2010-12-22 09:09:00

The gang at Littlebigplanet just put up another Featurette video up on Youtube (I'll bet there would be PS blog entries on this real soon)

This time on the storyline and they put quite an epic trailer showing the story cast.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RaVMmD0AKA

What surprises me the most is it looks like the story characters are getting voic-overs (Cmon, you'd honestly think they would hire voice actors just for a trailer?)
