?Sack it to Me? ? Post CES Edition

Archive: 23 posts


Sony posted a new edition of Sack it to Me, their way of updating the community with new information related to LittleBigPlanet. Give it a look, we've got the full article after the jump.

------------------------------

Welcome back for another edition of ?Sack it to me?, where we provide updates and answer some of the burning questions within the community. If you?ve missed some of our answers, check out our previous weekly posts, here.

Well, we just returned from CES and it was great talking to all of you that attended and came by and chatted with the LBP team ? myself, Leo, Eric & Chuck. We had a blast playing some of your levels and talking real-time. We?re also glad you enjoyed the Metal Gear Solid packs and new Street Fighter characters as we love hearing that feedback. We?ll spotlight a few levels that we found / you told us about while at CES on another post?

Sack it to me ? 1/14/08

Mm blog updates
Level Rankings - Now that the in-game level rankings are working, Mm has provided a quick guide on ranking protocol.

Mm Picks ? is continuing with their weekly highlights of levels they?ve found. Check out the latest batch.

Viral Crazyness
First our LBP fans created the commercials, then a slew of dancing videos, then their own versions of popular machinima videos, unique ?top ten ways to die in LBP? and now?their take on popular viral videos!!! As LBP fans ourselves, we?ve been beside ourselves with all the user-generated videos / machinima appearing on the web. Extremely funny stuff?keep it up, keep it clean and keep it legal?and you may find a Prize Crown in your in-box?

Great new fan sites & communities
Thanks to all of you making fan sites for LBP, we?re honored. One site has really grabbed our attention, LittleBigPlanetoid. They have tons of updates & feature articles, including a very thorough DLC FAQ. Great stuff.

Also, in addition, to our own LittleBigPlanet forums, another active community is quickly growing over at LBPforum.net. We?re glad to have you.

?Full Profile?
We?re still seeing comments about this on the forums and thought it was worth mentioning again. For those of you experiencing the ?Full Profile? message - because the issue revolves around the amount / complexity of the community objects in your Popit tool, your best bet to avoid this message is to delete a chunk of unwanted objects from your inventory to free up your profile.

Upcoming DLC
We?re getting ready to start another year of DLC on the PS Store at the end of the month - we?ll have a better update next week. Again, thanks for your patience - we needed the rest over the holiday break. Also, we saw all your comments asking for the previously shown Killzone ?Helghast? and Final Fantasy VII ?Sephiroth? costumes. Don?t worry, it's on its way?BTW?when does Killzone 2 come out?

Upcoming Updates
As mentioned last week, Mm is hard at work to continue to improve the online experience in 09. We?re testing the newest update now and will let you know more as we near release. Also, wanted to assure you that we didn?t forget about ?Online Create Mode? and the Play / Create / Share counters ? it's on our list to ?check off? (hopefully soon)

Sorry if I sound butthurt, but a forum with 69 total users gets mentioned while we're left out to dry? Did we make them mad at some point?

On a happier note, LittleBigPlanetoid looks like a great site for LBP news and info. Definitely not going in the same direction we are, but it looks like a great place for LittleBigPlanet related news.

Yeah I agree with you CC, i feel kind of hurt in a way, I can not imagine, i mean they put Kratos's tank up on the news page and that was a gift for LBPC members, AND we have hundreds of users, and we are still not mentioned... *sigh* maybe next time... maybe they are gealous of our tank or our great creators here at the site .

Cheers!

How did we get left out to dry? Maybe it is because it rivals Sony's forums in the battle of #1 LBP forum?2009-01-15 03:14:00

They've never really given us any real publicity aside from one link on Media Molecule's site (which was an afterthought more than anything). I just think it would be fair, especially since we've got tons more going on than the forum they listed. Still, you've got a point; I make a point to check out as many LittleBigPlanet fansites and forums as possible, and we're by far the most consistently active and the most involved in our community, including the official forums.

Hmm?


I'm starting to think the Helghast costume will come out at the same time of Killzone 2's launch.

yeah my first thought when i saw that we haven't gotten mentioned was...what the? not only are we huge and great but have been around for so long too. I mean i joined the site in 2007, we would have to be the longest running LBP fansite no?2009-01-15 05:41:00

I agree that the community presented here is a very small one but (growing). However, it is probably the reason to get mentionned...2009-01-15 07:32:00

So we have 2,000 + members (granted, most of them are inactive) and, like Cartman said, they mention a forum that doesn't even have 100? Pretty weird if you ask me...2009-01-15 10:57:00

IMO, it would have been better if they released it as a promo

I did notice their site looks pretty pro as far as the web design goes but I would say with the much larger population and ideas and everything going around here i think its pretty terrible that this site wasnt even mentioned at all. I heard about that site before but never went there after I found out about this place ...wow just noticed we have 1,764 "active" users not sure how they judge active but thats still pretty impressive it is really sad this didnt get mentioned, and if it soley on their web design thats pretty unfair; it seems they just mirrored the MM LBP workshop site's style2009-01-15 22:09:00

I believe LBPforum.net was mentions as were a new and growing forum, not because we're "OMGWTFBBQ UBERLEET"2009-01-16 00:58:00

Now they're starting to get more promising.
MediaMolecule's best bet is to assure us of the best stuff coming over the hill, then we're happy.
