Little Big Planet - Gen. Discussion & Info

Question: Are created levels kept on the game save or the game install file? I've been working frantically on a level and have been worried of losing it. I keep copying my save file to a USB but have noticed that no matter how much content has been added to the level the file save remains the same size. Are levels just that small in size?

Admittedly, this week’s update is a bit on the light side - mainly because we have some great stuff that we have to wait until next week’s post. But instead of not posting anything, we thought it would be best to at least update you on a few things…

MediaMolecule Podcast
As a new feature to the MediaMolecule.com site, Media Molecule has just posted the first of many podcasts. It’s a new endeavor, so they’re looking for feedback - so if you have any, comment away!



Another Clever Commercial from the UK
You’ve seen the hilarious commercials from our UK offices. They’ve just finalized one more and it’s a ’stinker’…literally (check for yourself).

LittleBigChallenge2
We were originally planning to announce today, but in an effort to make this an exclusive and simultaneous challenge for multiple countries, we have to “dot a few more i’s” and “cross a few more t’s” before we make an official announcement. Hold tight.

LittleBigApparel
In need of some new clothes? Love SackBoy? If the answer is yes to both, head to your nearest Kohl’s or Hot Topic, where you’ll find the latest trend in SackBoy fashion. Our partners @ IVGear have several designs of official merchandise in the works and this is just the first of them.

 
I'm thinking about doing a little session to help people get the 4x item bubbles on Sunday at 5 PM EST.

The only 4x levels are:
- The Dancer's Court
- The Frozen Tundra
- The Bunker
- The Collector's Lair


So if anyone wants to get them, show some interest and it should take about 45 minutes to get them.
 
I need the Bunker and Frozen Tundra. That'll get me my "all booty" trophy. Unfortunately, tomorrow is my father's b-day and i won't be home to play at that time.
 
I'm down. I've been needing the 4x for a while. What level is the 3x one on? If we can't do it on sun. than maybe we can put it on hold until we get 4. I'll send any interested a FR

I'm interested- although I must warn, I've only had the PS3 about a week, and haven't reached the levels mentioned yet. (I still need most of the 2x bubbles!) If you can put up with a lot of noob deaths, I'm 'HoshiChiri'.
 
Alright, we've got our 4 players:

- Me
- nballard
- nuness1988
- HoshiChiri

I'll say that it's delayed until Tuesday at 7 PM EST.
The Bunker is the only level that needs 3 players and the last levels are 4x specific so if Dual can't make it to the last levels before Tuesday then we'll do this at 7 PM EST on Thursday.


I haven't found that dragon hat costume piece yet, I don't even know where it is.... :cry:
 
[quote name='nbballard']I think the dragon hat is an "Ace" prize in the Asian levels.[/quote]

:bomb: It's so damn difficult to Ace levels, something always kills me. :lol:

Oh and isn't the Game of Death/Kill Bill style jumpsuit supposed to be yellow? I might be going color blind but mine's a lime green looking color.



Edit: Even more incentive to complete those 4x areas now.

*does quick math* So 7 pm Eastern would be 4 pm Pacific. Crap. I work till 5 Tuesday. :cry:

Well, regardless, I'll push to finish the game so at least I'll be ready Thursday (which I have off.)

Alright, Thursday it is. I don't think there's a need to rush through, it took me about 5 days to finish the story levels, we'll eventually get to it.

It’s not really a big rush, I was about to start the temples anyway. (I’m posting from my PS3! Whee!!:bouncy:)
 
Alright, to update things:

4x Bubble Help, Thursday at 7 PM EST/ 5 PM PST/ 2 AM Moscow time/ 30098 AP Crazy-Subway-Hobo time.

- Me
- nballard
- nuness1988
- HoshiChiri

If you need the Party Person trophy then send a friend request to each other. Is everyone alright with the time and date/can show up?
 
That works for me- I need the "win a 4 player match" one too. I tried to get it on my own, but i can't ever seem to find 4 other players.

oh yea- and thanks for the link to the PS3trophie forum- i'm sure that will help me get my player hearts / level plays.
 
[quote name='sotc1988']I'm cool with that. I think you mean 4 pm pst right? Unless there's been some new change I don't know about?[/quote]

:dunce: I got my own time zone conversion wrong :lol: I'll blame that on daylight savings. 4 PM PST
 
So I posted in the gamesharing thread and its not sparking any interest. Thought I'd try it here to gain more luck.
[quote name='evergoo']Anyone interested in a long-term group for LittleBigPlanet DLC? So far, I have 2 people in our group (jamezuva and I). Please PM me if you're interested.

This group is for people only interested in DLC packs because buying everything is just plain nickel and diming. ;) We can also be selective and decide which DLC packs we want since some are more appealing than others. At the moment, here is what's available on PSN (doesn't mean we have to get all of them):

$6 Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack (Paintinator, 6 levels, 12 trophies, 1 costume, 72 stickers, etc.)
$6 Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack (Snake, Meryl, Raiden, Screaming Mantis costumes)
$6 Street Fighter II Costume Kit (Ryu, Guile, Chun Li, Zangief costumes)
$3 God of War Mini Pack (Medusa & Minotaur costumes, 20+ stickers)
$3 Wipeout Costume Kit (4 costumes, 9 stickers)
$3 Animals Costume Kit (Penguin, Shark, Frog, Gorilla costumes)
$3 LocoRoco Costume Kit (5 costumes)

Total: $30 / 5 people = $6 per person (at most)[/QUOTE]
 
[quote name='GodlyOne']:dunce: I got my own time zone conversion wrong :lol: I'll blame that on daylight savings. 4 PM PST
[/quote]

Don't you mean 4pm PDT?

Also I was thinking about LBP today and I'm kinda wondering why they haven't come out with Trophies for specific community-based levels? I mean, yeah, it is Trophy whoring, but it'd get some people to pick up the game again and play some of the best levels the game has to offer. I'm not saying they'll do it, but it'd be a sweet idea.
 
I'm willing to play with people when I can to try and get the 4x trophies. Doing a scheduled thing probably isn't possible with me, but if you catch me online, send a message and we'll work on it. I also need the trophy for playing a game with 4 people on my friends list, so friend me up!

Hey, I'm thinking of getting a CAG team together to recreate a game/movie into LBP. Similar to what GAF did with recreating Contra - having each person create a level.

Would anyone be interested in this?

count me in!!! guys (especially you nballard, i owe you one for the Wobble Pole key), but i'm not sure you guys gonna be around when i sign in, i;ll try anyway.

I need both 4x trophies (three people not on my friend list and three people are). So, yeah, after the Socialite trophy, you guys will be in my friends list (well, if you accept the invite that is).

And we have times... i need those damn 4x prize bubbles!

i'll look for you guys :) the secret code is CAG...
 
lol. If people still need to "3 strangers" trophie- maybe it would be best to create an open ended level and publish it and just wait for people to join in- after you have 4, run to the end, friend everyone and repeat.
 
Edit: I added the wrong person #-o, I added an "nballard", didn't know you had two b's in your name. I'll hop online in the next hour or so and add the REAL nbballard.

[quote name='sotc1988']I'll be there tonight godly. Just make sure you send me an invite.[/quote]
You're already on my list so you'll be there in a flash.

If other people still want the 4x bubbles then I can set up another game next week if you guys show some interest. Either that or help others/our current group with hunting for the 2x bubbles.

* just a note though, don't mind my pod being filled with random stickers and junk, you can barely see the screen. :lol:

I'd say we can go for the 4x items after this Saturday's Warhawk game but I'm not sure we can get 2 other people there too (plus the fact that Warhawk's been going on for 2+ hours). :whistle2:k

:whee:
Saturday Warhawk usually ends around 2 am Eastern.
 
:lol: That's 11 PM for me, the headset always kills my ear before I can make it to the end of Warhawk nights. Well if you guys want to have a 4x item hunt on Warhawk Clan night, then we can do that. Maybe drag Freaky or SoCal along to make 4 people.

sounds like a good plan, but w/o the specifics, i'll be waiting and waiting and waiting, god knows how long.

Do what I do, have the chat come through the TV speakers, then you could hang the headset on your shirt or something (I use my eye, but that really could work :lol:).
I'd be up for doing that.

At first I thought you meant you hung your headset from your actual eye... :whistle2:k:lol:

I should just tape the headset next to my ear... :lol:


Anyways, got a little schedule now:

Today at 7 PM EDT/ 4 PM PDT:
- Me
- nbballard
- nuness1988
- HoshiChiri

This Saturday after the Warhawk games:
- Me
- DD83
- metaly
- ????

Next week at ???? EDT/ ???? PDT:

Can't guarantee any times (except for today), but if I'm around, I'm pretty much always up for multiplayer LBP. Don't be afraid to invite me (assuming you still want to after putting up with me today...)

:lol: I'm sure you're not as bad as me in terms of instantly dying for no reason.

One more hour until it's time for item hunting, hopefully everyone shows up. :whee:
 
[quote name='sotc1988']Hopefully everybody will have mics because that always makes it easier. There are four levels that require more than 2 people.[/QUOTE]

Ummm... actually, no. Haven't gotten around to accessorizing the PS3 (not to mention I don't have any RL friends with one, so I didn't expect to need one soon.)

Hope it doesn't become too much of an issue...
 
Though it's completely ridiculous, pointing and nodding with your Sackperson works really well. Shouldn't be too difficult for the 4x stuff, should be easy to figure out.

I should be pretty good at that, considering I spent most of the first day with the game waving my arms and making faces instead of, y'know, playing. :D
