LittleBigPlanet Goes Portable!

282 0

LittleBigPlanet is here for PSP! Yes, we’ve finally finished, and I don’t mind admitting that molding Media Molecule‘s PS3 game to fit its new home on the PSP and PSPgo has been a rollercoaster ride for us all.

The game is in stores beginning Tuesday and I have to say that we’re very proud of it. When we were first asked to make a PSP version of LittleBigPlanet, we wondered how on earth that much physics was ever going to fit onto something so much smaller, but to be honest we’ve enjoyed the challenge and now have a whole new world of LittleBigPlanet to show for it.

A world that contains thirty-eight newly created levels across seven different environments, all ready for you to play and explore – in addition to the whole Play, Create, and Share experience that’s synonymous with LBP.

The process, however, has not been without its share of hiccups. We are aware that the game is not yet available on the PlayStation Store, but we’re currently working around the clock to get this issue worked out so keep your eyes peeled for updates this week. We appreciate you bearing with us!

We’d also like to thank Media Molecule for all of their hard work in coming up with the incredible world that is LittleBigPlanet in the first place.

We’ve now added our own sprinkle of magic dust and we’re thrilled to bring LBP PSP to the fans so that they can enjoy it anytime, anywhere. To raise the excitement level even more, here’s a look at our launch trailer, as well as some of the great reviews that have hit thus far…

  • That sony, is a demo. you know, where the developers usally give you one or two levels to…wait for it… TEST the game! *looks at calender* hmm, its the 19th.. im pretty sure you eather release the demo before, or along with the full game, not two days after the official release of the game O.o i even got this demo yesterday from the hong kong psn. come on sony :( i get home, get on psn and i got REALLY excited seeing LBP on the front page banners. i go to check the new released psp games and assassins creed is still there.. in LBPs spot >< i was crushed D:

  • @150

    My guess is that it’s because the wireless radio is required for communicating to the PSP, it can’t do both at the same time.

    The PS3 is essentially acting as an ad hoc “tunnel” or “bridge”. A network bridge connects two disparate networks using multiple network interfaces, one connected to each network.

    Make sense?

  • Sonys like a selfish person at christmas time, all take no give. They expect us to shell out $250+ on the pspgo so they can get rich then screw us over on one of their biggest psp releases. We are all tired of waiting Sony. We scratch your back with our wallets now you can scratch ours with giving us info on LBP

  • screw info, im fed up of “later this week” and “difficulties” and “were working very hard to get it up” i want the game up. they managed the demo just fine, shouldn’t take all this time to get this game up

  • How can you justify doing this to us its fu**** thursday the day when the store gets updated and still no lbp ive just about had it f*** you sony!!! You cant even get it out 3 days after launch!!!

  • and another thing, why even update a store thats broken?! thats like driving a car with a flat tire. and if its not the store, how was i to know? there was no way for me to know with the lack of communication between us and sony. “theres a bug in the store and we should have it fixed by friday” could have REALLY helped. not “oh, its just a hiccup” -.-

  • I phoned sony again and now they say they have no date for the release!! Wtf make up ur mind

  • its not like they have to remake the game!! christ sony. good job.

  • I Stuck with a Psp 3000 because of varying memory stick storage options. I could get LBP on UMD, but Since i have no case for my Psp i carry it in my backpack, where 2 UMD’s have broken, so LBP is too precious of a release to get on UMD. Sure, I’m a bit disappointed that my chance to play lbp for the first time was delayed,especially since i don’t have a ps3, But i can wait. Thanks for the update and letting us know that the problem is being worked on. Also, thanks to all of the people who work at psn for releasing the demo to hold everyone over till the problem is fixed. By estimate, do you think it will be released by the end of this week or do you think it could be next week?

  • I give up
    by chaosmastr Nov 19, 2009, 6:29 PM PST

    I see it doesn’t matter what i think or want as a loyal customer you will just take your time on posting this game no matter what. Amazing Demo by the way but it just frustrated me even more playing the demo not being able to get the game!! What frustrates me the most and tell me if you guys agree they put up LBP for the UK today which today is The UK release date but they wait 3 days to put up a demo??? Guess it shows you what sony thinks of their US costumers making us wait 3 days and uk getting theirs on the release date. Let me correct this 3 days and still counting :”(. I give up sony do whatever the he** you want. You just want my money and congrats you have it so why would you care!!!!

  • I give up,

  • I say that when LBP PSP comes out on psn, whether it be tomorrow or in a week+ that no one downloads unless we are promised some sort of appreciation just to say ” ya we f***** up, sorry for your troubles.”

  • you broke my heart…i love you!

  • Complete fail not having this on PSN on release day. What does that say to anyone who bought a PSPGo? I mean really it is almost like y’all are trying to fail. 75% of the stuff you do (or in this case don’t do) is completely ridiculous. Get your stuff together, and do it fast while you still have people willing to give you a second/third chance.

  • dont expect it to be up until december if they dont post it by Sunday. Because they did no update thursday last year since it was thanksgiving!! Why cant they say when it will be released geez!!

  • Unreal, I was upset when PSN did not release FF Dissidia along with the UMD release. I felt like the PSP Go had turned me into a second class citizen. While UMD’s were being shipped worldwide and releasing on time, DD content was late to the party. This was a slap in the face, but I took it in stride as my PSP 1000/3000 friends teased me about my decision to buy a Go and enjoyed FF Dissidia. Now LBP is late to the party and once again I am made to feel like I paid more to get less. It’s bad enough that Go users do not get a price break (no shipping or manufacturing cost means bigger profit margins), your making more money off of me than a UMD buying PSP 3000 owner and I am the one who is getting shafted? Sony really needs to make this right, but based on past experience Sony will ignore its loyal customers and, with only a half hearted apology, move on. They get away with this because they can. As much as I whine and cry about what a mistake buying a PSP Go (I now call it the PSP No) was, I will still buy LBP and other titles as they come out. Sony knows this and will treat me and everyone else as bad as they want to while we will continue to cry and buy.

  • Yeah, it is highly disappointing as a launch day PSPgo owner. To be out in the cold, looking through the windows and watching all the kids with their PSP-3000s happily playing LBP, wearing their sweaters and laughing.

    *sniff*

    So much for UMD/PSN “parity”.

    Can we get an update, please?

  • ok, every other PSN has LBP, EXCEPT the US store!!!!!! (not sure if theres a store for canada) if the others can get it up then you can too!!!! no excuses! maybe the team behind the US store are just a bunch of morons. or sony favors everyone but us. what ever the case, either stop stalling and get your jobs done, or your going to loose ALLOT of faithfull customers. i dont see any problems in Nintendo, thats why there my favorite, microsoft has faulty systems, sony has the worst costomer service , hell the worst service in general, but nintendo on the other hand, i havent heard of any problems from them (that can be because i just dont know about it) but sony, step up, take charge, do your job, you release a system with NO support, that gets shafted every time theres a major release while the older models get everything on time hell, sometimes a few days early! and the worst part, the Go users are gonna eat LBP up when its released anyways, even if you increase the price by an extra $10. i think Media Molecule should have chose Microsoft or Nintendo to host there amazing game.

  • I agree 100% sora could you imagine lbp on xbox live brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it

  • imagine the support it would have then : /

  • Sora how do you know every other psn has lbp except us you mean they all got theirs released on the actual release date wow thats a new concept for the moderators of the US store :O!!!

  • Friday November 20th and still no lbp it makes me so happy that i decided to buy a GO!!!

  • I love it this is like waiting for christmas but the day of christmas keeps changing so you never know how long you will have to wait. It is terrible poor sackboy is crying because he is in an office somewhere waiting 4 his game to be uploaded so go owners can buy it and play using him makes me cry just thinking about it :”(!! But seriously sony please get it up sometime today even if its frickin 8:00pm tonight i dont care i cant stand waiting for this game any longer. Especially when i dont know how long i have to wait!!!

  • Hey maybe they are just waiting till the 20th of november pst. Because all the other regions have their release date today well had their release date on the 20th. I cant imagine psn not having the game up today looking over at the other stores which do. But then again we do have terrible customer service from SCEA!!!

  • If anyone stays up till 3:00am est or 12:00pm pst check and see if its up maybe it will be im going to bed and will check the forum in the morning to see if sony actually did their job night guys!!!

  • Since no retailers got the download voucher cards at all,this probably isn’t some last minute techinical issue.Sony seems to be trying to sell as many umd’s as possible before leting all the GO users download.Releasing a demo isn’t a bad idea as it’ll give us an idea of what we’re going to be buying,and for GO users paying for without any trade value.Sony not making any sort of statement since early yesterday?…One of many reasons why they are number 3 and continue to make huge mistakes over and over.What’s possibly sadder is it’s one of their big exclusive titles and they still managed to screw it up.

  • They only do nothing.
    “Sony hasn’t put up LBP on the internet yet, just a demo”
    “That’s like playing the PS3 version without the downloadable content. It still gets the job done, but come on!”
    “They hate extra support too!”
    “Come on!”
    “I know, right?”
    … “What’s wrong with them?!”

  • I had a plan.
    90% of the plan went ok.

    Today i’m leaving town for a “nice” vacation on a farm.

    My plan:
    Monday: sell psp3000….. done
    Monday: buy psp go….. done
    Tuesday: buy LittleBigPlanet….. not done
    Wednesday: play LBP….. not done
    Thursday: play LBP….. not done
    Friday: play LBP….. not done

    I’m leaving in about 5 hours, about enough time to download the game and be a happy sackboy fan.

    Thx for ruining my vacation sony

  • So… sony, or anybody. Maybe we could get ANY info when LBP will be up? I dont really care what the reason is, thats your problem.

    I’m your customer, you lied to us, so i would like to know if i should go sell my GO and buy back my 3000 and loose some of my money, but be able to play for the next 2 weeks, or maybe i should delay my vacation.

    Dammit talk to us, which other company of sony’s size can’t handle a stupid server?? Tell us when. It’s all we need to know!!

    (Microsoft please give us a handheld, and proper support!!)

  • I bought a psp Go for this game. I am a bit disappointed in the way the download system seems to be working out. LBP still not available. We got a nice 1.5 level demo FINALLY, but honestly…delayed releases on this and other games is a bad way to start a new gaming system.
    Selling my pspGo and getting the 3000 instead. I really like SOny and I enjoy LBP…sad that I am left so unsatisfied by the brand new nifty system….

  • well guys all i can say is that i know that the store usually gets updated at 12:00pm pst which is 3:00 where i am at i cant figure out why every other store would have this game available except ours hopefully its up by the end of today or they only have 2 more days to get it out before they lied again some time later this week ok. :(

  • That LBP demo is like a slap in the face…..Here take this for now….I’m even more upset to have played the demo, I was done in like fifteen minutes. What a tease!!! This is how you thank loyal customers!!!!
    Slap….Slap…in the face, after I purchased the psp go. We need some statement from you guys apologizing for the wait, don’t you think that is the responsible thing to do. Or, maybe some time of explanation ;that will make me feel a little better knowing what is going on…Now, Can we say DISCOUNT!!!!

  • In true ‘Sony Style’ it’s been 2 days and no update from Eric Levine. They could at least post another excuse but Eric Levine and the powers that be at SCEA are choosing silence over addressing customer concerns. It is a shame that a quick google search shows that the PSP Go is quickly becoming a bad joke because Sony is failing to stand behind their product. I was at out drinking coffee late last night and took my Go with me to keep an eye out for Sack Boy. When someone asked me how I liked my PSP Go I told them to buy an iTouch. It made me feel a little better.

  • theres onely one day left of this week. doubt it will be out by then. and im looking for updates, like you said, but nothing. its been 2 days. after you get this game out i sugest you bring the store down for a day or two and dedicate those valuable 24-48 hours to fix the store!!! theres obviously something wrong, otherwise we would have littlebigplanet, that or your doing this on purpose. theres obviously nothing wrong with the game. seeing as all the other regions managed. sony, you have gotten games this big out before! and seriously.. wtf is Promethus? -.- looks like it was a cheep knock off of metroid made by a 12 year old! theres so many bugs, the over all controls are just horrid, the sound is horrible, and i was able to walk through 4 different enemies. you guys are really gonna put this game out??? i dont mean to bash the developers. im just proving how bad sonys expectations and values have gotten. just…wow sony… and i thought i lost all faith with you guys on wendsday… just wow..

  • please tell me this is a joke sony

  • As a community manager myself, I understand there are some hard situations to be in. Users ask for a lot, and sometimes there’s just no information to give, however, it’s been two days since any kind of response at all. Maybe it’s time to go bully your programmers into giving you a timetable?

  • any info at all for us sony? : /

  • dear Eric Levine

    would you please give us sony fans a time frame of when lbp will be on the playstation store…2 days, a week, 2 weeks…please give us an approximate time..please respond

  • they try to make us to buy assassin´s creed !

    where is the LBP on PSN Store?!

    And the PSPgo owners?!

  • So my question is this. If I had bought the PSP Go on the promise from Sony that “All first party titles will be available via PSN the day they launch,” and now this Little Big Planet PSP incident, is this grounds for false advertising? To me it seems that Sony has lead consumers to purchase their product on false pretenses and have been terrible to the platform and it’s support in general since it launched. There is no justifiable reason for the delay. This has been promised since E3 for god’s sake and I think all of us faithful deserve a full and proper response.

  • It could be some ridiculous market scheme, or they just don’t like us.

  • I wonder if i smell law suit in the air. All of us PSP 1000, 2000, and 3000 ex owners who sold old systems in support of new PSP Go with promises that have not held. How much money has Sony made of us upgrading to the Go and handing us failed support. Repeatedly. I have been a Sony fanboy for over 10 years and now im starting to rethink where i’ll be spending my money.

  • like i said before, all other region stores that had a set release date for LBP have it. eather they have WAY better developers or they care for there customers more. there really shouldn’t have been a problem with doing the exact same thing they did. and if there is a REALLY bad problem which im starting to think, seeing as its taking 3 effing days to put a game up!!! going on 4 in 4 hours for east coast! if there is a problem, dont you think we the customers have the right to know this(we’re the ones spending our money on you), after all, a promise is a promise, the best way you can fix a broken promise is to tell the truth on how you couldn’t deliver this promise, especially if the other regions can deliver. whats going on sony? im pretty sure the people refreshing the store, this page and searching for a reason would LOVE to know!

  • Amen Brotha, well said

  • Well played sir!

  • i know it was stupid of me, but iv been staying up until almost 1 alll week, just to see if its released. this is the single psp game that iv been watching ever since the announcement, hell, ever since the original LBP was announced i was there, iv never played it but iv watched video upon video or the amazing levels that people have made, im so excited to make my own. i can honestly say (sadly enough) this is one of the only things iv been legitly excited about, iv trained my self not to get excited about things for this very reason, it usaly leads to disappointment. sony, you have (im guessing) thousands of people waiting on you to release this game, yet you dont announce anything more then “we are working on it” im pretty sure we figured that one out, although i wouldn’t be surprised by now if you wernt. we want a “we are having problems uploading LBP to the PSN” or “the PSN is not accepting LBP and we need to mess around with it for a little until we can figure out whats going on”. all we get is “we hope to have it out later this week, look for updates”

  • Like I stated earlier. This has been promised on the Go since E3 in July!!! There are no excuses for the delay. We have gotten men to the moon so the technology isn’t that hard to handle. If other countries already have it Sony has failed their US consumers once again just like shafting us with no free copy of Gran Turismo at the launch of the Go as they did with EU. Instead we got an amazing (sarcasm intended) demo of Rock Band: Unplugged, and still not even the full game.

  • hmmm, i think sony, nintendo and microsoft should all make a system together, nintendo and microsofts support, sonys ability to put a system out every couple months, nintendos ability to communicate with there customers. it would be amazing! o:

  • We need the full version! Or else we won’t get the 6 costumes. You’ve got until December 4th to upload this or this offer will expire. When will you even upload this game? It’s been 3 days after the release.

  • What are the 6 free costumes? I havent heard about this! Now i’m getting a little more anxious and edgy about the release >:(
