LBP at E3 2009
LBP was well represented at E3 this year. LittleBigPlanet PSP made a sweet debut on the PSPgo and was playable for the first time at the show earning great impressions and award nominations from both IGN and 1UP! As many of you know this title will offer the complete LBP Experience, now letting people Play, Create, and Share on the go and I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s looking amazing on the PSP. If you didn’t see the trailer yet, here you go:
Also, popular creators from the LBP Community, Lucas Sparks (LittleBigDeadSpace) and David Dino (Azure Palace) took booth visitors through awesome user-generated LBP levels on the show floor and got to rub elbows with some familiar faces. If you haven’t played their levels yet, you are definitely missing out.
Check out David hanging out with Qore host Veronica Belmont-
Lucas ended up doing some interviews with some fansites.
Overall, it was great to have these two representing our community and can’t wait until our next event to invite more of you out.
Sackcast
Sackcast is a new community podcast, and they released their first episode last week. In the premiere episode, the guys discuss some community levels, ideas for their own levels, and answer a few questions from the Mm community team. Check it out below, oh and don’t forget to head over to their website too!
LittleBigHouse
At the start of last week we received an email from a very proud father. His Son Ben had been tasked with decorating his house as part of a town Gala. He chose to decorate his house LittleBigPlanet style – check it out! Ben will be crowned for his creative efforts, we should probably get him to come and decorate our office.
LittleBigPodcast Interviews Media Molecule!
To celebrate their 20th Episode, our friends at LittleBigPodcast scored a great interview with Media Molecule. Take a look!

I think it’s great that the support for LBP has been constant.
However, it’s time for more level packs like the MGS one, but on a bigger scale. I think that kind of expansion to the single-player experience would sell quite well.

As much as I love the Team Ico games, I really wanted to get some premade levels with this like the MGS pack.
Didn’t purchase it because of this, maybe in the future we’ll get a level pack.

The ICO and SotC stuff is great and all, but all Media Molecule does is release costumes. Honestly I was hoping for some ICO & SotC inspired levels. More content, less superficial stickers and outfits.
Like #14, I’ll purchase when we get an ICO level pack.

Thanks, Im really excited about LBP in PSP. About the new costumes, you guys should put levels with each costume, 5.99 bucks it’s a bit overpriced for just costumes and stickers. The Metal Gear levels are great.

I like the costumes and all but I think I am done with this game now. I cant keep buying only costumes that do nothing for the game. I mean its cool that MM is supporting the hell out of their game. But what we really want as customers is level packs.

Same here, I tried supporting LBP as much as possible. I bought every costume up until about 2 months ago. It just got too expensive. And I really only use about two of them.
You guys need to make more level packs. I wont be buying anymore costumes unless they come with levels.

Hey Mark, is there any level kit pack coming along with more trophies (such as MGS level kit)? Also, what happened with the *patch* that was supposed to allow us listen to our XMB music while in-pod?

@24
Can’t agree more – would love to see more level packs, not costumes! Not that playing user generated content is bad, but MM levels seem to be refined and show that extra detail they’re great at.

Why you didnt make a Ico pack like MGS one? Ico was a good opportunity to do so
I’m waiting for a new pack to play LBP again
Stop selling us only costumes, we wont buy them if we are not playing the game, give us more lvls packs with costumes

Man, I love LBP. I think it’s a brilliant experience – though I do think that Media Molecule hasn’t been supporting it well enough beyond simply offering new costumes. How about a developer level pack? How about updating the in-game news section weekly with new featured levels?
I love LBP, but there’s no way i’m buying a costume pack for 5.99. That’s probably been said so many times… And it’s not that the costumes don’t look awesome. I just wish you’d support the LBP community differently.

Hey jeff do me a favor, inform capcom that I will not be purchasing Lost Planet 2 for PS3 if they make it timed exclusive for the X360.

I’m tired of getting the shaft from supposed “Cross-platform” companies like capcom. Either treat us like equals or choose a side.
I will be encouraging others to do the same.

This was a great opportunity to release a full ‘expansion pack’ with added ‘sword/ stick’ fighting mechanic.

+ Watchmann on June 12th, 2009 at 2:37 pm said:
listing the content of the costume packs item by item does not create a convincing enough illusion that these skins are in any way worth the money. There’s a good reason why I’ve only purchased the MGS *level* pack.
Again, other than this recurring issue with costumes, this is a bloody brilliant game.

What’s that, $250USD? I’ll buy a PSP 2000/3000 and 16gb Memory stick pro duo for $50 less then that cuse I’ll get better battery life and I’m an internet savy digital consumer and know how to find a better deal online.

LBP on the PSP Go looked promising. I was at E3, and got some hands-on time with it…But it took forever to load! Hoping that’s just an issue with beta software and the fact that the PSPs are all basically displays with buttons hooked up to a computer…

Not really interested in costumes – I liked the level of customization in the original game but once my character is created, that’s it. I just play with it and don’t really care about its appearance.
Added costume parts, stickers, etc., should be free as they’re basically useless – I can’t believe people pay for this stuff – but as long as they do, it’ll churn out…

A level pack like MGS for $5, I’d pay that, but costumes? They’re pretty but, golly, are they expensive!
