MM no longer patching lbp2?

Archive: 27 posts


I keep hearing this but i refuse to believe mediamolecule is done patching the game. They just released a dlc yesterday. And the game has a ton of connection issues etc. Are they really done? Is there a link to confirm this? I would rather not have ideas or opinions i just wanna know.2012-08-16 21:40:00

Mm is done with LBP1 for sure, but I don't think they're done for LBP2. They should actually do something about what's left. Hedge Hopping (working for one player) isn't working for multi-player, cool pages should be taken care of, and there's still another creator kit that should be coming.

I found a great plan to finally take care of the cool pages. You have to be spotlighted or fansite picked to appear on the cool pages. They should take out the robot that automatically chooses what levels are in the cool pages.

Another thing Mm should actually do is to disable posting stickers on any costume (they can put decorations on still). It's the only way to get rid of the emo costumes.

I stopped reading there, because that idea is flawed. Sharp Tooth decoration? Emos uses that to cover up their forehead. Also, what if we came up with this awesome costume with a custom skin, but we can't make it?

I 0% agree with this. Putting stickers on costumes is so handy its not even funny. If you found the right costume parts but with the wrong color, would you change it? I use stickers all the time with costume making. If that was disabled, then costumes would majorly suck.

@amoney: You're right. I edited out that section from my post. And what about the Vandal pin? If we disable that option, that pin will be impossible. I agree that we should have the right to choose what color you want your outfit to have (as we don't want to match the colors of your player color), but kids are using this option for the emo-costumes to make inappropriate ones. Even I put stickers on my costumes. So no, we shouldn't disable this option, but we shouldn't be able to have emo-costumes. How ironic that adults know it's a kids game so they try to follow the rules, while the kids are the ones who are inappropriate.

@madmarsrocks: Thanks for telling me. I thought they find some hair from scratch, but now I know how they make the hair. Another thing I noticed is that people are making fake crowns. But yeah, trying to take care of that is similar to what California is doing: passing business unfriendly laws.

@fumetsusozo: I'm not the only one who finds the emo costumes hideous or inappropriate. There's a lot of people who are tired of these costumes too. I took out that third paragraph to regret the suggestion. I'm not selfish, and I hate people who view me as selfish. I'm trying to help those that complain too so they can stop complaining.

Now just to get back on track, I say we are already reaching the two-year mark. LBP2 was released after LBP1 was two years and three months old. Even though it sounds like Mm is stepping away, they really do care as there's still work to be done. There's work that needs to be done in LBP1 too, but we're already done with that. It's a ghost town.

Hopefully they will not stop patching LBP2 yet. There is still a nasty game breaking glitch. The best thing you can do is back up your profile every time before you play online. Making a new profile backup every month is a good idea to.2012-08-17 01:48:00

lbp2 is not done with updates. since lbpv and lbp karting is made by different people then we should be safe until the next lbp game by mm. come to think of it. let's take a look of the other lbp games.

no more patches:
lbp1
lbp psp

still patching:
lbp2

upcoming lbp games that will have patches in the future:
lbpv
lbpk

so right now most lbp games are done patching but when the next 2 come it will just get better for lbp community.

Well I would think they'd need a patch for the cross controller DLC.2012-08-17 02:56:00

I'm pretty sure Mm is done with LBP, but isn't LBP2 being handled by someone else now? Like Double Eleven or something? (Sorry, I don't remember who it is exactly, but they're the ones that have been doing the DLC for some time now)2012-08-17 05:09:00

Yes, oh yes. Little Big Planet Vita is not a PS3 game, so Mm should not only monitor the Vita game, but they should also monitor the PS3 game. LBP Karting is a PS3 game however, but it doesn't mean they can abandon LBP2. LBPK isn't the sequel to LBP2. They also have another game called "Tearaway", but that's not LBP related, and it's Vita. So by the time LBP3 comes out, LBP2 will become a ghost town like LBP1.

LBP1 is now like the older consoles as Xbox (not the 360 one), Gamecube, and Playstation2. They are no longer popular like they used to be, and people just don't care about them anymore. There are some things that are popular at the time, but they are now going out of style. Arcades for example were really popular in the 80's, but now since we have online gaming, people don't go to arcades anymore. This is what LBP1 and LBP PSP are. Even LBPC is going to delete the forums of LBP PSP and LBP1.

this is nonsense. Are you really telling me that they'll stop patching this game even though we are constantly getting DLC for it and the major DLC coming this year adds even more functionality such as cross play and cross control with the Vita. It will continue to get patched2012-08-17 07:00:00

From the way I understand it, no one at Media Molecule is working directly on LBP anymore. There's a group of developers working on the LBP franchise, but we just don't know for sure who is directly managing LBP2 at the moment.

I'm sure they have plenty on their plates at the moment with Vita, Karting and Cross Play DLC. (There's at least 3 developers working on these collectively, including Double Eleven, Tarsier & United Front) I'm sure that when the time comes, updates will come along.

But I can stake my salary on the fact that MM will not be the ones responsible for such a thing.

...we shouldn't be able to have emo-costumes.

Nonsense. For some random reason there is something you do not like and you cannot stop raving about it until it is removed from the game for everyone - even though it does not concern, bother or obstruct you in ANY way unless you choose to look it up. Go make yourself angry over stuff that actually matters, please.

On topic: most new DLC requires patches before it is released. Often they fix one or two bugs with such patch. Although not frequent and it may appear that only DLC is the driving factor behind patches, some of the updates in recent past suggest that they do care about things that are broken in this game (i.e. the live emitter bug). I think most people wish they'd fix more and more frequent, though.

I don't think Sony is done with LBP2 yet. Mm maybe are, but they are not the only studio involved.

Oookay, I think we get the point that we disagree with that statement. :T

But didn't Mm say that they were "stepping away" from it for a while? They didn't say forever. So they could come back to it whenever they aren't super busy. It's really weird when people say Mm is "lazy" and "don't care about LBP" when they're really working too much to manage something so large at the moment. Not saying that that's what you're implying, but when other people say stuff like that.

Excuse me! Did you read what I said when I was commenting fumetsusozo? I said that I'm not the only one who's annoyed by it. There's a lot of people who hate it too. It's not just annoying, but it's obscene. I am not selfish, and I HATE people who look at me as selfish. I take that last sentence as offensive. So if you (or any of you) ever read my posts and comment on my solutions, do not make me look like a bad person online.

@Sackpapoi: Yes, it's annoying that people are lying about Mm. Just because they haven't worked on a game in a while doesn't mean they're done. They got other stuff to do. The difference between "too busy" and "too lazy" is that one of them means they can't work on it or do something about it because they are being occupied on something else, as the other one means they don't want to work on it. Mm isn't too lazy to work on LBP2, but they are too busy.

@WESFUN: What made the emo costumes a problem is that half of them are undressed or half-dressed.

So Mm shouldn't do anything about the emo costumes, but they should make patches that can solve other problems. A long time ago, I thought of a good solution to tackle the rating system. Currently, it's either you yay a level, or you give no rating at all. It's unfair to actually yay levels even when they are poorly made. So my rating system is the 1 to 10 scale. Mm should accept that. And for the disabling comments/reviews, I now find it a bad idea. While trolls lost one privelege, they now earned another. They are abusing this option. Whoever suggested the block option where nobody can view levels or profiles of people who blocked you or you blocked, that's a good solution.

So if you see, there's more to do.

Not saying so ARE selfish, but saying that you want a certain way of dressing your sackboy should be removed because you think it's vulgar is a selfish. It's like walking up to an 'emo' in the street and telling him to get a new wardrobe because you think what he is wearing is rubbish. It's not your choice of clothing, or many others but that doesn't mean its wrong. Would you like someone to tell you what to wear and not what to wear?

On topic, Mm said they would step away but even if Mm aren't patching it, they have other buddying companies who are doing it. So LBP will continue to be patched, don't worry

but karting is mostly made by san diago and united front games. you don't even see mm logo in the game anymore. the beta showed san diago and ufg. i didn't see mm. so lbp2 is still safe until the next lbp game by mm mostly.

Hate to say it, but I think you ranting before thinking at times is really getting a bit old. If you do not wish to look bad online, then refrain from posting before you have thought about what you are going to say and after you have calmed down.

To get back on topic... what Ria said.

Ok, my mistake. Sorry if I misunderstood you. I always try to come up with solutions to problems, and some of them are WAY OUT OF hand. I remember coming up with one solution to the cool pages, where no one but adults can go there. That one sounds like a bad idea because there are kids who are good and adults who copy too. I also came up with a different solution where all copied levels and levels that are identical to Latin_Player's levels should be moderated. That will interfere with kids' rights. When I came up with a solution for the copy option where people can copy but not re-publish or publish any content from the copied level, people are agreeing with me, until some "liberal" told us that copying and re-publishing should not be disabled because kids like those levels.

@Sunbunny: Judging by what you said, LBPK is LBP related, but not Mm related. Even if there's a lot of work to do at once, LBP2 will still get some aid from Mm.

Wow really? I asked about MM patching the game still, i am happy to have gotten the answer
but did the community really need to get brought into this? Couldn't a simple "media molecule is still patching the game they just have other projects to work on been sufficient? Anywaaay I got the answer so unless you have
something productive to say then probably best to let this topic fall under the magical forum couch to collect dust.

I took track of ten problems with the community, and I listed some solutions to these problems.

Cool pages - we already talked about this a million times. Creating protest threads and protest levels aren't going to solve anything. In fact, it can lead to forum wars. Maybe Mm should determine what levels go on the cool pages instead of a robot, but how are noobs going to get popular? There should be another section like the cool pages called "Amateurs Choice" or something like that.

Copying - simple. Just disable republishing copied levels and auto-delete all levels that have been set to copyable (except for that keyboard one). You can still copy, but not re-publish or publish levels with the copied content.

Mm Picks - newer Mm Picks isn't a problem at all. It's people complaining about it. So we should try to teach everyone that Mm Picks are what Mm likes, not good-detailed and high-quality levels.

Emos - it's not the emo costumes that's a problem; it's the behavior of who's wearing them. Also, only part of the emo-girl costumes are obscene. You can't stop the source, but you can report them through the Sony Entertainment Network (formerly PlaystationNetwork) website if they're acting inappropriate online. Just don't make any protest threads or complain about it.

Trolling - the US state of Arizona illegalized trolling with a tough punishment. That law is extreme, but it's right. So they already solved this problem, the rest of the US should do something.

Advertising - this will never stop. People will always send H4H requests and advertise in the story comments. Everyone should at least get popular, but it's spamming and immaturity. I even allow advertising on my level comments.

Boo removal - after what effects this has caused, I think this was a big mistake. My 1 to 10 rating system works better.

Disabling comments - trolls are abusing this too. And this isn't just blocking trolls; it's blocking innocent people. A more precise block option should be added.

Lethal sackboy glitch - it's patched. You don't have to worry about people cheating or bullying others with this glitch. Problem solved.

Move Pack mini-games - this problem will never get solved. I know it's rediculous to expect kids to work hard, but if it's the way how it's built, it should stay that way. Besides, the trophy from "The Tail of Claude the Field Mouse" isn't required.

There's more to do than that as I know of. I suggested new secret pins like getting spotlighted on LBPC or collecting all of the Move Pack pins. And what if more glitches are created in future patches? Mm will try to take care of them.

Since you have your answer I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread.

@Apple2012- We all appreciate that you have a passion for LBP. Your position on these matters is already well know. You have started threads, a blog and made numerous posts about these issues.
In the future please stay on topic and just address the actual subject.
