Really want to hear something on LBP for the Vita. Are we gonna be hearing a release date soon?
Steven hopefully you guys dont make the same mistake San Diego Studios did and release Little Big Planet vita with 4 players online multiplayer ( i mean the way LBP is meant to be play online)
@remanutd5,
What!? That post doesn’t make any sense.
i just want 4 players online multiplayer thats all lol
Please just answer our LBP Vita questions, this is getting ridiculous. It doesn’t even feel like the game is coming out anymore after being left in the dark for so long.
@3 he meant that he hopes it’s not like LBP PSP, and wants online multiplayer.
Eager to hear more about this game. Played the demo at the Vita Social Club in NYC & it was fun; it’s just like the console version but the screen is small yet with very, very sharp graphics.
Any word on a special edition, Steven/Simon?
at 6 yes thats one of the reasons the other is San Diego Studios releasing ModNation Racers Road Trip without online multiplayer play i just wish more vita games have infrastructure online play
How about putting some of those overpriced DLC costumes up for sale, eh?
How about making a fairly priced LBP GOTY DLC Bundle with all those DLC items you gave away for free to all the people that waited over a year to buy Little Big Planet?
It’s insane that we haven’t gotten a release date on LittleBigPlanet Vita yet. Sony shipped the consoles with a teaser flier that said LBP was coming in April 2012, which clearly ends today.
The longer we go from that date shows us that Sony had a (somewhat public) target to release the game by now and failed to meet that target and causes consumers to lose faith in the game. Just give us SOMETHING, even if it’s not a rock solid date let fans know what’s going on…
Can’t wait for this game it’s going 2 be awesome
Played the last Japan’s hubs levels and they were all good, looking forward to this months.
On a side note, I heard the LBP2 theme song while out to dinner at TGIFridays. Which made me think it isn’t only a theme song, but it was still weird hearing it in a restaurant. Found out it’s Passion Pits – Sleepyhead, who knew?
@5: Yeah, because adding a new community manager soley for the LBP Vita game isn’t a sign that things are moving forward at all. That clearly shows that LBP Vita isn’t coming out. *eye roll*
Lawdy.
@10: They’ll say more, when they have more to say. The fact you’re complaining about the insert date is evidence as to why they shouldn’t just mindless throw around statements. Then people cling onto them and when something doesn’t match up, even if it’s in their own mind, then it’s a disaster. “WRY U LIE” “YOU SAID SOON, IT’S BEEN FIVE MINUTES!” etc.
Just wait. I love LBP as much as the next guy, maybe even more, but I’m patiently waiting and know it will be awesome and worth the wait.
Believe me, our new LittleBigPlanet Vita Community Coordinator is just about ready to burst with all the awesome news that he wants to tell everyone!
Hopefully he should have some news very soon!
