LittleBigPlanet 3 Private Beta Invites

Archive: 427 posts


Hey Everyone!

It's the news that you have all been waiting for...

Our LittleBigPlanet 3 Private Beta will be beginning next month and we have hand-picked a small number of you brilliantly creative folks to participate!

What this means is that we will be contacting our selected community creators over the next couple of weeks via your favourite fansite's Private Message inbox to extend an invitation to the LittleBigPlanet 3 Private Beta.

Please be aware that space for this Private Beta is incredibly limited and only a small number of you will actually receive an invitation, however we thought it would be better than you hear about this Private Beta directly from us than just through the grapevine.

So please don't be discouraged if you didn't get chosen this time around...
We still have plenty of news to share with everyone between now and release! And we certainly won't forget you all!

Looking forward to hearing back from some of you fantastic creators soon!

PLEASE PICK ME!!! I'M A VERY BIG LITTLEBIGPLANET FAN! And if you do pls message me here, on PSN or PS Forum. For PS3 please, and if I don't get picked I hope public beta! BTW does having the Awesome Steven in my PSN friends list give me a greater chance? 2014-07-24 11:48:00

I'll just go with - whoooot!

I'm sure the beta is going to be awesome fun for everyone involved - Steven approached us, and many other fansite staff, some time ago to help select active community members. I have to say, I really don't envy Steven for having to make these kinds of choices - it was sooo soo tough to choose from the awesome community we have here, all the while bearing in mind the huge variety of playstyles that should be represented in the beta to help Sony out in the best possible way.

That being said, I'm so stoked to see the people who are going to be playing! It's a shame that everyone couldn't be invited, but I'm sure this is the start of lots of good news and tidbits incoming!

I'd like to reiterate - please be patient regarding your invites - Steven has a whole load of people to get in touch with individually, and it is going to take some time to get round to everyone.

So basically mostly only popular LBP2 creators in the beta? No Vita creators? No impopular but super awesome creators?

I don't know how the betas will work, but if there won't be an open beta, this will ruin some chances for people (including me, but don't tell Steven!).

i wonder how and for what reasons they'll pick the beta testers? will they pick active creators who have been publishing a lot? or will they pick people who are very active on the forums? since this isn't the normal open beta the main LBP games often get from the sounds of it that means anything could go far as how they choose. the fact they will PM you on the fan forums themselves and not by email says straight away how different it is this time. *mew

also im curious if the beta will be just for the PS4 LBP3, or for both versions?

I'm gonna go ahead and say creators, but let's hope they allow youtubers to do things.

Also, are youtubers allowed to record the beta? or is that forbidden?

If there's an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement), then no.

Those invited will be able to choose which console they will be participating on.

Console ownership had no effect on the selection process but to my knowledge we naturally acquired a good mix of both PS3 and PS4 owners.

I would love to participate in the LBP3 beta test.

I love creating platfomers, musics, circuits and anything. So I can enjoy spending much time for test !
LBP3 must be one of great games. If you don't pick me, I hope public beta test. It also will be fun. I cannot wait !

i wonder how and for what reasons they'll pick the beta testers? will they pick active creators who have been publishing a lot? or will they pick people who are very active on the forums?

I wondered how long it would take for this to come up .

Why is it that the word 'handpicked' instantly gets translated as 'popular'? Popularity and fame are both incredibly subjective, and terribly fleeting. Fansite staff were approached to choose helpful, active members of their community for the beta. At no time were we told: Hey guys, could you give me the names of all the creators you can think of who have been picked eight times / have awesomesauce / crown / get spotlighted every month?

Nope.

The names I personally added and wanted to see on our list were members of the community who have given something back in the last few years. Whilst many of the community fled to other games, these people stuck around and helped our site, and by extension, LBP's community as a whole, to grow and have more fun. They published tutorials, they organised contests, they curated content, they published a level which made our jaws drop. In other words, they did something which put them on my radar. I'm sure I speak for all of the staff here and on other fansites when I say that I never checked how many hearts said players had, nor did I care how many posts they had made on LBPC.

In short, people have been chosen for what they had done and how they conducted themselves, not what their name was. This is a distinction that I really feel more gadders should be making.

I gotta know; how do you even pick out the creative people? Will you be taking people who created Team-picked levels, or people who is active on the forums, or people who won a contest? How does this work?2014-07-24 12:09:00

It's looking like the Beta will be cooler than LBP2's with the community fansite invites and all that.
I hope they'll squish the bugs, polish the wood and bowtie it up for final release goodness.

I've spent alot of time creating cools levels, the one I'm most proud of is "The Wacky Wreckshop" Go try it one day.

Okay that's nuf' of that, I should hope everyone behaves appropriately and haves fun.

well it was just me being curious, it's not a big deal. i know you were replying to more then just me, but just wanted you to know to not take what i said the wrong way. also i myself never used the word 'popular people'

Creators are obviously very important, but don't forget the players. Playing the Beta for LBP2 and LBP Vita there was lots of ways to break the levels, escape and glitched jumps that are mostly still around in the games. Just wanted to point that out

Also more hyped for this beta then most finished games released this year

Definitely! there's a very broad mix of playstyles represented in 'the list' (sounds secret agent-y) - from creators to musicians to players and beyond. It's a very healthy smorgasbord of Gadders 2014-07-24 12:31:00

In an ideal situation they'll need experienced creators, forum contributors (some of the spotlighted staff on here for example, tutorial makers and players always helping in the help forums), as well as people who have made few levels, or even zero levels, in order to test the accessibilty of the create tools (especially the new tools).

Thanks for the heads up Steven

*crosses fingers*

and for those worrying that only experienced creators will get in here is some food for though. They will be wanting to test how accessible the game is for new players and those less experienced so it would make sense in a testing environment to have a varied pool of candidates. As I stated in the mega thread this is a test and not a demonstration and it will help the developers greatly.

Could have something to do with this:


What this means is that we will be contacting our selected community creators over the next couple of weeks via your favourite fansite's Private Message inbox to extend an invitation to the LittleBigPlanet 3 Private Beta.

It takes time to message people, I'm sure they will do their best to go as fast as they can.

You can always brag about how active you have been and how much you have helped the community but it doesn't grant you any higher chances of getting an invitation to the beta. I personally got both sad and happy, I know I'm not getting handpicked, but I'm happy for those who deserves it. I am also sad for those who wont get an invitation, even when they deserves it, there will probably be many of those... Anyway, cant wait for LBP3!2014-07-24 14:24:00

Will anything from the beta be carried across to the full game this time around? I know it wasn't possible in the LBP2 beta because of bugs which could have carried over to the full game, and this will probably be a similar case to be honest. I ask because I already know I'm not getting invited, but I'd still like to be able to play whatever gets made. If not I hope it can at least be recorded.2014-07-24 14:34:00

StevenI really has to make some difficult choices! I couldn't possibly face the task of picking people for the Beta! Good luck buddy

One quick question! Do vita creations count?

I ask because the last 8 levels I published are on Vita

Can't wait the Beta to start! Even if I don't make it to it it gets me even more hyped for the game 8)

Steven,

I hope I can be one of the people selected for the Beta. I am very good with bug finding and finding glitches. I also understand LBP very well and have a game development background. I think I would be a valuable resource in the beta.

Cool!

I was literally JUST randomly wondering if making a fully 3D chess game with AI players would be possible with better optimizations to performance in LBP3.

If I were invited, that would certainly be the first thing I'd take on.

Just curious though, how many players have been invited? Over 50? Over 100?

Seriously though, its coming. Also I hope people realize how limited this beta will be and not take it personal if they don't get in. It doesn't mean you are not important enough or anything like that. We can't all get in, but we can all play and appreciate the work the testers do in the final game.

I knew I should have published something, at least a gallery of my art. I have about 4 levels on my Moon and I'm trying to work on all of them at the same time, and I have never published any of my levels because I never get to finish them, I always think of a better idea and scrap the old ones. 2014-07-24 16:29:00

Congrats to all those who have/will make it into the beta, as I know the staff have chosen well and LBP3 will be put to the extreme test. Regardless, I can't wait to finally enjoy my PS4 to the fullest extent in November.2014-07-24 16:30:00

I knew I should have published something, at least a gallery of my art. I have about 4 levels on my Moon and I'm trying to work on all of them at the same time, and I have never published any of my levels because I never get to finish them, I always think of a better idea and scrap the old ones.

I know that feel bro.

I... er... Deserve to be picked... Because I have a disadvantage... If LBPCentral worked on Internet Explorer, I'd have been constantly active on the forum over the last three years... And... The... Er... Forum is what motivated me to finish my projects... I'd have finished all my levels... And I'd be well known... And I'd have improved the community... Now I'm three years behind and using Firefox because you discriminated against my browser! It's not a choice... I didn't choose IE, it came pre-installed!... It came pre-installed... *bursts into tears*

LBP is my pastime of choice. Building a level is like sculpting or modelling, playing with logic is like playing sudoku, creating music is like... creating music and collecting a costume is like collecting a stamp. And like stamp collectors, I don't plan on dying until I've collected every last piece... Including the bug blaster. Even if I haven't made an impact on this game or this community, this game has made an impact on me. It has inspired in many ways and has allowed me to develop who I am. I may not (I may have?) have been invited to this beta, but you can sure as hell expect me to try again for the next one. And that's from the heart.

And congratulations to those who did get in!
There will be an open beta right?

...Okay, StevenI, look. I know we've had our share of issues in the past, what with publishing increasingly dangerous Esmerelda stuff, but if you could throw a bone to at least one of our crew (me, bonner, actio, squid, etc.) then that'd be super excellent.

Also I don't really know if we've had our share of issues. You seem neat. :B

It seems that the famous people got in first. I doubt that StevenI announce that there's a second round of invites because it was very limited. I feel like a underdog pardon the pun because I am in the shadows as people don't know me well.

If that the case where there's no extra invites to anyone who desired to participate, then I'll wait for the release and also buy a week 1 shirt on that day.

Couldn't have said it better. Whoever got invited that is being tagged as "famous" got that tag for a reason, whether he actively created contests, events, made incredible levels or in general guided the community to being a better place. If you play LBP once a year you cannot really expect to be known in the community as these awesome guys. After all, the Beta is supposed to test the game in every aspect and the people who know the best of this community is the ones that are the most involved in it.

Those invited will be able to choose which console they will be participating on.

Console ownership had no effect on the selection process but to my knowledge we naturally acquired a good mix of both PS3 and PS4 owners.




Just thought you should know when you send my invite, I need a PS3 code. kthx

Well said!

Fame is a dumb concept in a game about community. If you're a good person and help out, you'll be acknowledged for that. It's not about the levels you make or however many hearts you have. It all just comes down to being a cool dude.

As cliche as it is to say at this point: I can't wait either! I'm sure the individuality of the people being picked is going to benefit what kinda content they make that may squeeze out a few bugs or ideas for the future; iron out the game to perfection. I haven't published much except for a few Sonic-motif levels... Can't wait for new information to come along once the NDA is lifted, regardless if most of us DO get in to see it ourselves.

To all who get in; create the heck out of it for us, get rid of all them sneaky little buggies.

I would love to get in on this! I know, we all would.

I don't do allot of creating, mostly playing community levels since 2009. I had beta from LBP2 and Karting. Bought a PS4 just for LBP3.
It's just been sitting on the shelf while I play LBP2 on my PS3, waiting for LBP3.

Those who will get in the beta are going to be incredibly lucky. I mean, you get to test LBP3 in August! I wish most of you guys and myself get in the beta.

How awesome would be to try all the new stuff out, testing everything, playing some story mode levels and reporting bugs, learn how all the new gadgets and logic works out, creating and testing the new 16 layers, making simple gameplay ideas with Oddsock, Toggle or Swoop.
Ahh man, let's hope most of us get in!

Steven approached us, and many other fansite staff, some time ago to help select active community members.

I'm in the staff of the 1st french community fansite, but Steven (or someone else) didn't approached us. The french community will still be forgotten in spite of our big activity ?
Sorry to ask it like that but we are a little bit frustrated that our forum isn't at the same place as the other fansites.
I hope we will have picks in our community

You are correct.

This is what it said.

Little Big Planet 3 Closed Beta Announced, Codes Given To Fansite Members

Today the LittleBigPlanet 3 fan community website LittleBigPlanet Central announced that a LittleBigPlanet 3 Private Beta is beginning next month. The website is also giving out a very small number of Beta access codes to its community members.

Codes will be distributed to LittleBigPlanet Central members via private messages sent to their lbpcentral accounts. The site is giving away only a few vouchers, as the space for the Beta is very limited.

LittleBigPlanet 3 was announced for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 at this year’s E3. The newest installment in the Sony exclusive platforming franchise will continue the tradition of emphasizing customization and content creation, but introduces new playable characters in addition to the series’ mascot, Sackboy.

LittleBigPlanet 3 is being developed by xDev and Sumo Studios and is scheduled to release this November. For more info on the platformer, check out the E3 trailer, or these screenshots.

Thanks to reader Shawn for the news tip!

If I remember correctly, LBP2 had a private beta, then later opened it up to other members of the community as well as anyone with a PS+ membership. If you had been part of the beta in the past, you got in during the second or third stage.

Can't wait for LBP3!
The game seems awesome... I want a beta code, omg.

StevenI, Will you make a list like you did with LBPV telling us about the new tools and stuff? :/

I don't know later down the line there's is another beta somewhere in late August or September for people who been in any of the lbp betas (like lbp2, lbpv) or someone who received the bug blaster.

Right out of the bat was for the famous people, then later there's a sign up for people who wish to participate. Pass beta testers get invited automatically.

I know my speculation may be far fetched, it because some wishes that there's another round of invites.

Oh wow! We would love to be in the beta to test out all the new tools and goodies!The best part about being in the beta is that you set the example for the rest of the creators who pick up the game after the beta closes. What happens before the game, somewhat decides the fate of the real game. And just the thought of being a part of something as awesomesauce as that just makes my little burlap heart skip not one but several beats. I'm excited Steve!2014-07-25 00:34:00

Nice to see newbies... Not so nice since they won't be getting the beta key they're signing up for :/ As I'm assuming it's not a lottery of active users.

Part of me wants to be in, but then I realize I don't have the skill to make ARR PEE GEE so I go in my corner and cry.

Anyway. Yeah. Hope some of the newbies actually stay.

This place does need the boost...

I'm looking forward so **** much to release, my needfulness only increases! It'd be greatly appreciated to get a code but I have doubt, or I hope there's at least a public beta. I really want to know the new tools and any more additions to the game to experiment with.

I remember StevenI sent me a PM on the official LBP forum with an LBP2 Beta code for being an active community member

I highly doubt fortune will shine twice on me (especially since this beta is for well known creators).

Does anyone think that this beta will become more open? I know that it'll continue as a private beta, but I really hope they send more invites to a broader crowd.

I kind of doubt I'll get into the beta. I didn't get into the others and I'm not the most active for periods of time. "Some time ago" makes me kind of feel like I definitely won't get in. Plus I haven't actually published a level in LBP2 or LBPV. Woops. I like to experiment in create but generally I never get around to finishing levels due to too much experimentation.
Can't wait to hear about the beta though
(also where does it say famous creators that people keep talking about? I reread the first post and it just says creative, active users.)

Good creators or StevenI's friends? :3

As far as I know, different fan-sites were handpicking people.

Lets not forget, its nice to start off with a small private beta. It means they want to take it more seriously and want to test for critical measures. Sometimes its best to take it step by step.

If they went with a mass opening and thousands of people went, that phase would have skipping a more focused phase for testing purposes.

Destiny was already made and it was like a demo, hence the huge mass of players in their betas.

I like what the LBP team is doing for now, its strengthens accuracy in focusing on the main mission to make LBP3 the best for all when the time comes.

I already have beta vest and bugblaster from when I was in lbpv beta so does that increase any chances of getting into lbp3 beta or do you have to be an active user of forums like these? I'm not so active on forums as I struggle to use them. >.< My grammar is rubbish and always end up posting in wrong place. I hope that is'nt the case as I'm not active much on forums like these maybe a post once every few months but that's about it. I sure hope people who already got bugblaster and beta vest get a chance. They won't have to make more codes for those users then atleast but then I guess they may think it unfair for those who don't have them. oh well still hope I get it 2014-07-25 03:55:00

My first post on LBPC! I'm glad to see news about the beta, I can't wait to start creating again in LBP with my shiny PS4! I really have not used LBP fansites, but that will change come LBP3.

Even with all the crazy beta stuff going around, I think we can all agree that we, the community are in good hands for LBP3!

If we want to properly beta test the game, then we'll need my talents in pushing the logic aspects of the game to a great amount. I'm arguably one of the top logic expert of LBP, so receiving an invitation would greatly benefit the game because I'm also known for my critics and would address the game's strengths and weaknesses. I'm credited in countless Mm picked/team picked created levels and hold one of my own. If anyone deserved one, it should be me.2014-07-25 04:33:00

Im sure many of you know this but I will bring it up for those that don't.

When you watch LBP2 go into screensaver mode you will see many different sean's that were put together by the LBP2 testers. I think this was the first round of testers. They also had their names listed in the credits if their work was used.

For those of you that get in. Create like there is no tomorrow. You could end up in the credits a well!

I may have to. I can't participate in the LBP3 beta and work on my dream town in animal crossing at the same time. But thanks for your positive foreshadowing.

EDIT: I was actually working on my town in Animal Crossing as I wait for the LBP3 Beta. I got too sidetracked to the point where I wouldn't show up. Maybe I would have enough time to participate in the beta.

It's really nice to see the community being revived with this outstanding announcement! I really, truly hope that this will be retained and not vanish because of hype!

I feel as though the beta, in my theory, will be worked into two phases.

The first being, obviously, good and well done creators of LBP, to create with the new tools and smash bugs while at it. And then the second phase would be the invitation of smartly chosen and active LBP forum posters/players to not only playtest these levels, but to also hunt down, give feedback and suggestions, and help eliminate missed bugs within the beta. But we can only hope! FINGERS CROSSED LADIES AND GENTS!

Some may have fun but for others testers, the testers goal is to find as many evil nasty bugs as possible. Let hope they find them all!

Besides if i was chosen for the beta the first thing i'll do is test and play around with the new tools. ^^

Can someone define "well-known" creators. There are many excellent if not amazeballs creators that haven't received ANY sort of recognition, but still love to create just for the fun of it. In my opinion it should be those people who get to test the beta. The number of picks, hearts, plays, or anything of the sort should be irrelevant. Lbp has always been against discrimination. Saying that some people cannot join because they are "unpopular" is garbage. Congrats to those who have been excepted. I'm glad you feel like you earned it.2014-07-25 06:51:00

Just want to stop you all there. At no point has the phrase 'well known creator' been used by anyone in the process of selecting those to participate in the beta.

Phrases that have been used, very often in fact, have included the words "active", "helpful", "talented", "proactive", and above all, I really want to emphasize this word, "friendly" - The only people using the words 'well-known' and 'popular' are those who seem to instinctively feel that they aren't included.

Stop twisting words - it helps no one.

I've already made a lengthy post describing the attributes of some of the creators chosen, and I don't intend to again. Page 2.

The invites haven't even gone out yet and people are already complaining. Beta time is the best time.

Remember the online create beta that was hand-picked as well?

I made stuff like this:

And got this:

http://i.imgur.com/QIkgo43.png

The reason I got in the beta was because I was decently active on LittleBigWorkshop at the time (I think I had like 200 posts or something).

We literally know nothing right now. Stop it, yo.

But seriously guys, no one (not Steven nor any of LBPC crew) never, ever, said testers would be chosen out of popularity or being well know creator as Ria said. There's no point in keeping the discussion on this matter but, again, you cannot really expect to join a private beta if it is the first time you touch the game in years And if you do play the game regularly then maybe you will get a code!

False accusation mr. I was blatantly posting my opinion. I just feel somewhat sorry for those who were not offered the chance to help the community. Well-known and popular are just titles that people have been giving those who are getting codes. In no way am I angry that I did not get in. Disappointed... Maybe, but why would I get angry or upset over a game that is made purely for fun. But a large portion of the game is the play factor and I do think that it there should be a few players as well as creators. Not to cherry pick an anyone but as an example: pj15 i think his name is, is pretty darn good at playing.2014-07-25 07:13:00

I will agree with you on the undiscovered creators, Yes there is many of creators who has a brill talent for creating, Which is why some level may got spotlighted but... for that matter I always didn't care about be popular i care about creating new and fantastic creations for the whole community. I maybe slow but i'm lazy and still the community is still argument with the famous having to go first and nobody else. Whenever i play a Level, I give them a yay and heart them and sometimes i even write a review for them wither they good on the level or they should fix that or even that and also i don't play as much Team Pick levels as much as some people do. No, I simply Queue them for whenever i get bored and maybe i wanted to. I even help some LittleBigPlaneteers for whenever they're stuck in a jam.

But my main point is this, LittleBigPlanet is not about the Hearts, Plays, Team Picks, or Fame there is. It all about the 3 Golden Words Play, Create, Share and it's also about your how well you make your ideas from your greatest imagination. LittleBigPlanet may have passion but they'll always be Drama inside a little universe.

(The Beta is not even out and Invitations aren't even sent yet so calm down and create a little and wait until August, You still have time)

How's that? And count my hopes in as well. I'd love nothing more than to put my PS4 to use testing this wonderful new installment in the franchise (Oh and count my Vita in for remote play testing too... Well you know, assuming I make it in!)

The game's out in November isn't it? So even if you don't get in the beta (most of us won't), it's not like you'll have to wait long to play the real game. 2014-07-25 09:12:00

While that does make me a bit happier, I can't get my hopes up.
I remember how dissapointed I was when I found out they delayed LBP2 to January.

But then again, this is a different studio, so for better or for worse, it'll be different this time around.

A beta would be great. But I'm expecting to wait until the "other" beta as I haven't played in a while.
I made my most popular level in the LittleBigPlanet 1 beta. Even if my creative skills got better over the years, I'ts never been as many play as that one from the beta.

Remember guys, this is a beta, not demo. Many of us want to get into it, but it's hard work. You need to report bugs, problems... Only a few experienced people can do that. So don't be sad that you didn't get into beta 2014-07-25 10:26:00

Some things

1. Beta invites are not just being sent to "famous creators", you don't need 10 team picks to get in. Active community people are on the list too.

2. Beta invites are not exclusive to LBPC members and they are not just being sent via LBPC. You don't need to be active here to get one. Any article on a gaming site that reports otherwise is wrong.

3. There is a list and AFAIK that's it for now. Writing poetry or spamming the forums to make yourself look active will probably not help you get an invite this time.

4. Invites will continue to be sent out over the next couple of weeks so don't worry if you haven't heard anything yet. Steven is a very busy guy and he's obviously not going to be sending messages 24/7. The beta won't start until everyone on the list has been invited so you won't miss out by not getting an invite on the first day.

5. Every LBP game has had a prerelease beta and every one has been different. The LBP team have enough experience to know what works and what doesn't, and they believe that this is the best way to start testing LBP3 - and thus the best way to ensure the finished game will be as good as it can be.

6. Picking specific people who are known to be active in various aspects of LBP means that the beta testers will be more likely to find and report bugs than if codes were sent out to a group of random people who signed up. This isn't like Destiny where the beta exists largely for promotional reasons and people are treating it as a demo. This is LBP - the kind of game that could probably set fire to your system if something goes wrong. It needs to be tested.

7. It is always possible that more invites will be sent out at a later stage so don't think it's the end of the world if you miss out this time. November is still a few months away.

8. Even if you don't get in to any beta, the finished game will be released soon enough. The finished, stable, fully functional game that can only exist after some thorough testing. Beta testers will have to cope with a horrible, broken, glitchy, buggy version of the game that will crash every 5 minutes. You're probably better off sticking to LBP2! [insert joke about how buggy LBP2 is]

9. These are all things I've tweeted but I thought it would be better to post here. The numbers are completely unnecessary and I could probably have squashed all of these points together into one definitive statement:

10. Don't worry.

P.S. who is raresackboy and why didn't he let me be batman

EDIT: hearing reports of people getting fake codes. FYI, the codes being sent out at the moment are just for registration and not redeemable PS store codes, those will be sent via email when the beta starts.

EDIT 2: just read the thing again and you it looks like you won't even get a code via email, the email will just be a link to the beta site and a message to say you can log in to get your code. So again, if anyone has sent you a 12 digit PS store code over the last couple of days, it's fake
