(So stolen from rag)
Welcome to the thread about the best game of the year, maybe the best game we will see this gen, the most innovative game in years, Littlebigplanet.
If you dont know what it is yet, well what is wrong with you!! Go look up info on the new official site www.littlebigworkshop.com which is also a site which will allow you to blueprint levels, share with others and have your own webspace.
You know the reviews, its one of the highest rated games of the year.
Now onto the good stuff, the user created stuff, below will be pics and videos of the amazing levels users have made. Your imagination is the limit here:
A boss fight someone is making, nice!
MegaMan for your 8-bit delectation. Pretty simple yet effective stuff!
An attempt at Link. I'm sure a Santa hat will come along at some point which will be infinitely preferable to the headscarf
Some one made a Gradius level, AN ACTUAL GRADIUS LEVEL , WHAT?!?! See its crazy out there. This same guy made a functional Tetris game as well.
More levels:
Azure Palace (excellent)
Rag Tag Commandos (Bionic commando level)
I can go on and on, so many great levels and thats not even getting into the single player which is the best 2D platformer since Mario in the SNES.
I will be posting soon with pics from my first level and then I will blog the creation of my epic Zelda level.
Some guy made an original Mega Man level, somehow he got the camera angles to work just like a mega man game, awesome level.
Actually I explain this in the podcast (sounds so cool that I am on a podcast
Yeah, but I asked that question on the podcast, and GG asked it here. Great minds do think alike
Would it not have been possible to make it so you can download people's levels but not re-publish them? Or stick like a permanent watermark one them or something?
I know nothing about programming of course...
Yes and no. While it would be trivial to just have a "this user made it, you can't publish it," there's a programming rule of "Never trust the client." You can't prevent them from just changing the ID of whoever made it to their own, and you also can't stop them from recreating it.
Users here can't edit YOUR post, but then can quote it, they can quote it and remove the quotations so it's just the same post, or they can write the same thing word for word.
I think there is a misconception going on about playing others levels. You dont download anything with this game. When you play a level its just like accessing something on the disc, you do so from their servers, in 5-10 seconds you are in. Nothing is transfered to your PS3.
If the creator allows their level to be copied then you can choose than option and transfer that level to your level section of the game which is where your user created levels are stored, then you can play or edit that level offline at anytime. But you can also republish it under your name without their consent, which is why no one allows coping of levels.
Ah, I see. So it really is gone when the administration delete it.
Right, from everyone except the creator, who can republish but no one dares too after a level is modded since they get no explination as to what needs changing.
