Little Delay to LittleBigPlanet Content

Archive: 39 posts


http://community.software.eu.playstation.com/content/games/littlebigplanet/LBP_ChineseNY_Costume.png


Looks like Thursday's regularly-scheduled DLC was postponed. To appease loyal fans, Sony just released details of the upcoming DLC for LittleBigPlanet through February. Nothing MGS Pack-quality, but there's some cool stickers and a chance to snag exclusive costumes you may have missed. Give it a look; we've got the full article at the jump.

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

We know you guys have been looking forward to the next batch of downloadable content which was due to launch this Thursday, 22 January. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to release what we had planned at this time, so the wait is going to be just a little longer before the new year's content updates start to arrive. In order to make up for this disappointment, we thought you might like to see all the new content we've got lined up to come out between next week and the end of February, so hold on to your hats as there's quite a bit!

Seasonal content
To get the new year started in the right way we've got matching Sackboy and Sackgirl Chinese New Year outfits which will be available for free next week to help you celebrate the year of the Ox. At the same time you can also dress up as the world famous Groundhog in a bid to predict the length of winter. When February rolls around you'll have no excuse for forgetting to buy a card as we release a special Valentine's Day pack containing 12 stickers and some themed costume pieces for your Sackperson. Each of these downloads will be available for a limited time, so grab them while they're hot!

God of War Costumes and Stickers
If you missed out on the pre-order offers to get hold of Kratos and the God of War content pack here's another chance to get hold of an all time classic Sackboy costume. Inside the pack you'll find Medusa and Minotaur costumes and a bunch of themed stickers to help you recreate ancient Greece in your game.

Supersonic Sackboy
In February why not pick up the pace and splash out on the WipEout content pack. Containing the WipEout costume kit and plenty of stickers to add some flavour to your game this is a very cool pack indeed.

Early 2009 Release Schedule
Please note all these dates may change, but we'll announce what is coming, and when each week.


26 January - Chinese New Year Costumes (free!) - available for 10 days only.

Well, if the delay is to handle the bugs it's good that they're delaying.

Plus, woohoo for Kratos pack. I'm one of the handful of people who actually wanted to have Nariko instead of Kratos, now I get to have both if I want

Also might be good to do a V-day level for the missus... hmmm

Sam_Protagonist added later in this same thread:

Just to stave off the inevitable questions :

- Hey Sam, Nariko?

- Yes, soon.

- Hey Sam, tshirt?

- Unfortunately not.

- Hey Sam, space suit?

- Unfortunately not.

We're committed from here on to ensuring that every region gets the same content at the same time, but sometimes for licensing or timing reasons it simply isn't possible.

I'm not overly impressed with this stuff to be honest. I'd prefer to see more level's, materials, music, general creation tools etc than just costumes. I'm mean, there nice but it doesn't really change the options available to creators the way MGS pack did.2009-01-22 14:17:00

I agree I really want to see the multi-player online creation patch before anything else.

Same here. Nice costumes, but I'd prefer new creation options/tools, new materials, new music/sounds fx...

I dunno, they can't really be pushing out game changing DLC every month or so.

I'm happy just to have costumes and sticker packs for a while, if it's helping fund the servers and Media Molecule.
(Not that I buy the costumes, I don't really have that sort of disposable income, even if it is only a few quid, but there's a lot of people that do apparently).


I like the Chinese New Year, Ape Escape and the Toro costumes, can't say I'm overstruck on the other things, but I like the good job they're doing of keeping up the makeshift aesthetic (cardboard helmets for the Wipeout gear are great).

Looks like we may be getting two downloads next week. The Chinese New Year costume on 1/26 and the God of War, Kratos costume, and Groundhog costume on 1/29.

As for the next level pack, this schedule of DLC takes us through Feb.19 date. And Killzone 2 ships on Feb.27. So maybe on the Thursday before the release Feb. 26 we will get a Killzone 2 pack like the MGS pack. Wishful thinking I know but it may have been hinted at in this article of Sack it to Me.

Sack it to Me CES Edition (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=7524)


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?

This is awesome news for me, the God Of War pack is what I wanted. Sadly I don't see anything about the Nariko costume. I enjoy collecting all of the costumes, but I guess that is one I will never have.2009-01-22 16:53:00

Actually not in my first post of this thread it doesn't. But post #5 I quoted Sam from the LittleBigWorkshop forums:



Sam_Protagonist added later in this same thread:

Just to stave off the inevitable questions :

- Hey Sam, Nariko?

- Yes, soon.

- Hey Sam, tshirt?

- Unfortunately not.

Will the groundhog see his shadow?

I guess this is all we will get today since the Kratos and Chinese outfits came out on Monday.

Then you should have ordered from Futureshop

I'm curious if the Kratos mini pack is worth it, is it only stickers in it or are there decorations and costumes?

I was looking at the Japan LBP site and it looks like the Ape Escape outfit may come out today as well as the Ground Hog outfit under the new items link. It has a 1/29 date by it. Anyone know for sure?

I guess we want get a download this coming up Thursday. Since they released the Toro and Ape Escape early. Maybe they'll release the Nariko in it's place for all the people who still want it. Or the first of the new patches they have mentioned. Otherwise the 19th is a long ways away. 2009-02-08 02:52:00

as much as i love wipeout, those costumes do look really stupid. bu from the short description it seems that there will be stickers as well. and wipeout stickers would be really useful. very unique, great design and could be used very creatively i would think.2009-02-08 14:49:00
