They're having a level design contest, complete with crown costume prize.

They're sponsoring a contest where they want you to make a level based on the Playstation 3 after taking down levels based on the PS3 because of IP issues?

I thought the same thing.

But this time it's okay because you'll have a special code in your level name.

Either that, or they made it easier to tag for moderation.

Seriously? Do they not realize that people who make that tag in their level are more likely to have their levels tagged by other contestants?
 
Look what i found! Looks like we might be getting a Street Fighter themed character pack in the coming weeks:

"You heard about the Street Fighter table for Pinball FX, but that was just the beginning. We've also got a Street Fighter UNO DLC pack, featuring cards with signature Street Fighter specials, as well as your favorite SF backgrounds and themed music. And last but not least, Capcom will also have another “Little” Street Fighter surprise coming to the PSN soon."
 
Wow those are sweet, well the first one at least. The second one with the Loco dudes sticking out of the arms like warts or tumors looks dumb.
 
Are we gonna have a CAG LPB night? I see some of you guys online but never at the same time to be able to play 4 player and get the "Socialite" trophy.

I'll play. Let's do it!

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']heads up! guess what we get on Tuesday... (look in lower left and upper left)[/quote]

Are those Sackboys wearing LocoRoco costumes? That's pretty awesome, if so.
 
So...yeah, my beta level got moderated. Not a shock to me or anyone who played it.

I played a bit of it tonight for the first time in a while. Azure Palace is up, the Mirror's Edge level(s?) is still up. The God of War level isn't, and it doesn't use any copyrighted material, so it should still be up in my opinion. Surprisingly enough, the Zelda II 1st Palace level is still up. I wonder how you flag levels. I still have no clue how to do a lot of things in LBP.

Is anyone else still disappointed that when you download the Costume DLC, it doesn't give you the complete Costume setup in your Costumes menu? I might be lazy, but why should I have to assemble the costume when I download it? It should have it set up already.

YES!
:lol:

What was your beta level? Wasn't that the really dark level? I don't remember anything that should have cause it to be removed if it was that level...
 
[quote name='suko_32']I just played Rolento's Ice Cream level. I know I'm late, but it was great in a wtf way! Very cool or something![/quote]


:lol: yeah, it was intentionally meant to focus on the whole WTF idea :)

glad you liked it or something ;)

My beta level was basically 2 challenges where you had to choose a path on. The first one, if you chose wrong, required a restart. The second one had a sticker I got off my laptop, depicting "You're Winner" if you picked the right path.
 
oh ok.... thanks... I just got it last week and haven't played it a ton. looking forward to exploring it more. maybe i will get motivated and make a level
 
This might be a dumb question, but does LBP support voice chat?
I keep putting on my headset when I play online but (in the 3 days that I've had the game) I've never heard anyone else talk.

It does, it's just that I couldn't find my headset when I was playing with you. (I found it last night though! :D)

Ah, OK. I knew you had snagged a headset a little while back...I presumed that since you weren't talking, the game didn't support VOIP.
 
Finally got a chance to play DarknessBear's levels. I really recommend them to anyone who hasn't tried them out. I really liked the Dead Space looking one. The stars one was also a lot of fun, if a little weird sometimes.
 
How do you setup local multiplayer? My SO wants to make a Sackperson and play through the levels with me, but we can't figure out how to start a new character.

Just played through these, too. The Dead Space one is really incredible...perfectly executed, and very evocative of the the game it's based on. Be sure to wear your spacesuit when playing it!

Just set up another user account on your PS3 and it will let you select it when you push start on a second controller. I'm really impressed by how well it handles multiple accounts, actually. I even put my save on a memory stick and played it as a second account on another PS3 and all my items and costumes showed up seamlessly. I don't know why all multiplayer PS3 games don't work like this.

Ah, that's excellent. Thanks!
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']oh wow! sweet thx broly for the link :)[/quote]
Nice man!

I hate this "cool levels" thing. It's so messed up, the "Fastest Sackboy alive!" level has been on the 1st cools level page this whole time and its the worst created level I've ever played... how are they getting up there?

Click to expand...

Thanks man. My only good level is the Dead Space one, the Winkle and the Stolen stars was made during Beta and didn't have really any objects, the only lights I had were stars. Haha.

Been working a bit on a new level, but I don't think I'll finish it. I don't see much point... I mean if they used the "spotlighted" levels feature like they are suppose to, or had the original idea of top levels of the day/week/month than maybe its worth it. But there isn't much influencing me to spend a hell of a lot hours working on another level.

125,000 people on the first week decided they would rather have instant trophies rather than quality.

So they all play it, get the trophies then heart and rate it... making it one of the most played levels... and keeping it on the front page.
