""You can basically dictate the distribution rights on any object you create. If you put something in your level as a collectable item, people can collect it. People can control who comes into the level, both by how hard it is and by giving away keys, but you can also choose whether to copyright that object."

Once you've collected a copyright item, you'll be able to use it in your own game levels. However, you won't be share it with anyone else.

If an item isn't copyright, you'll be ab..."

""This is in fact not the case, and all shared levels in the game will be available worldwide. The confusion arose out of regional differences in how moderation will work as there are different legal rules each region have to play by, and at one point this looked like it may require the game to be independent in each region - however this has been worked around and there will only be one region for the game.... a LittleBigRegion.""

"We're confused, Mr. Pete Smith, producer of upcoming platform-a-thon LittleBigPlanet. When we spoke to you during today's LittleBigPlanet breakdown session you said that "the game will have a global server." Now we hear that you told CVG something a little different. User generated content will be region locked? Normally we'd say "we're not sure who to believe" at this point, but seeing as both statements come from the same person, we're doubly confused."

"Games Convention 2008 is home to many games and goodies, but the Leipzig hosted event certainly has a monster on its hands in the shape of the mighty Sackzilla; destroyer of cities! Ravager of towns! Crusher of people!

There's a lot to be said for the ability to build a diverse array of content in platform based creation title, LittleBigPlanet - and this video is a great expression of that. Sackboy shows exactly how you can form a lovely and fully working monstrosity that bears more than a..."

"Last week on the Official Playstation Blog, Mark Valledor, SCEA Marketing Manager, announced a whole slew of LittleBigPlanet pre-order promotional giveaways and I salivated. A few seconds later when I realized these giveaways were U.S. only, I sobbed. Fortunately, Media Molecule didn't want to a see a grown man cry, and have announced on the Official LittleBigPlanet blog that Canada will also have pre-order campaigns. Two in fact! Oh sure, our U.S. brethren will be getting five pre-order camp..."

The last game to have adverts of this size was Grand Theft Auto IV, but LittleBigPlanet seems to be challenging the throne with this new mural put up especially for the Leipzig conference that is scheduled to take place in just a few days time.

"Sony is preparing Little Big Planet's Sackboy to take on the hefty role of a PlayStation 3 mascot, according to a report from Advertising Age. We know that the company is counting on the downloadable game to sell hardware, but the planned marketing push goes much deeper than that. "We want Little Big Planet to lead the charge into a new genre of gaming and turn Sackboy into the next emblematic character for the PS3," said SCEA marketing manager Mark Valledor. "This is a very big title for us.""

"Above is the finalised UK cover art for hot PS3 title LittleBigPlanet… as if we needed to tell you! What do you think?"

"Announcing the LittleBigPlanet NewsSite!

We’re very pleased to launch - what we hope to be - a key destination for anything LBP. We have lots of plans to keep you informed and active, before and after the game launches in October. We also want to take the time to thank all the fans sites out there dedicated to SackBoy and his ever-growing fanbase - you’ll be hearing from us soon …

See you there!"

"Sony Computer Entertainment is doing a nice event this summer for its upcoming community game LittleBigPlanet for the PlayStation 3 in Odaiba Tokyo. The game will be released on October 30 in Japan, here are some photos!

More images after the Jump."

"At this point, I’ve seen and heard enough about LittleBigPlanet that I feel as though the game isn’t even real and that it’s never actually coming out. Thankfully, Sony brought along their first-party titles for us New Yorkers to try out and I can confirm that the game does in fact exist and will be coming out this fall. But after finally getting my hands on it, I think I’m going to have to turn down my hype meter just a bit."

The Game Critics have announced their E3 2008 awards for this year and there are some pretty interesting winners, with Fallout 3 taking the "Best of Show" award, Mirror's Edge taking "Best Original Game", and LittleBigPlanet getting the "Best Console Game" award.

""It's still LittleBigPlanet, but people will be saying, 'I thought it was this - now you're telling me it's this as well?!' That excites me hugely.""

"Character Customization:
- There is a Tron suit you can wear in the game, along with a killzone helmet and mask.
- Not only that, but there are about 25 different materials and designs that you can choose to have your sackboy made out of, including 3 types of camo.
- There are held items that you can choose from, such as a wooden sword and a magic wand (a stick with a star on the top). You can't use them as weapons, but when you slap while holding an item you hit them with said item.

SCEE and Media Molecule have guaranteed fans of the up and coming title LittleBigPlanet that all the content that is going to offered on the launch of the game is going to be at the price of nothing!..

In addition they also mentioned that they are exited about the future of the game once it is released as they should be able to be offering the "users uploaded" content but as of now that will have to wait.

"Sony has stated that when LittleBigPlanet is released this October, it will allow certain users who have created content for the game to charge other players for downloading that content. The service is being likened to online consumer powerhouses iTunes and eBay.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's President, David Reeves, has the statement and PS3 Fanboy has the report: "What we're trying to do with LittleBigPlanet is almost iTunes meets eBay in the sense that once an individual or a de..."

"Adam Sessler and Kevin Pereira present X-Play's award for Best Game of E3."

"That’s right. This September, most likely near the 1st week, LittleBigPlanet will definitely have the beta launch ready for fans eagerly awaiting the wondrous dreaming spectacle of the infinitely large world that makes it up."

"

"Another LittleBigPlanet video has appeared on the net. This one, like all the others, shows off the sheer amount of things you can do in this game, where you are limited only by your imagination and creativity." Keep flow and sentence length in mind."

"Q: You have shelved the development of Eight Days and The Getaway: what was the thinking behind that?

SY: People were doing the right things on the projects, and there were things in the games that were working really well, but the projects were coming to the end of the pre-production stage, and that is the time when we evaluate every product. Because after that, we would assign more resources to them, and they would really become major investments. This is a regular appraisal process for ..."

"Is there anyone that hasn’t already been won over by LittleBigPlanet? The irresistible cute sack boys/girls wearing Elvis suits or donning a dragon headpiece, it would make most male gamers feel queasy were it not so perfectly crafted to endear even the most hardened heart. If you haven’t already, it might pay to have a look at our preview (here) before reading this post. I wanted to talk about what gives LittleBigPlanet the potential to be a mega hit. Sony know it, you can see that here.

"Though Phil "Game 3.0" Harrison may have moved onto green ... err, different pastures, his flock of PlayStation 3 developers haven't forgotten his lessons. After taking a handful of upcoming PlayStation games out for a spin last Friday during Sony's Pre-E3 Judge's Event in LA, I noticed a recurring phrase in my notebook: community website. Think Halo 3 and Bungie.net; a game-specific site chocked full of additional ways to engage the title. It's like ... Web 2.0 plus ... Game 1.0 – wait, we f..."

"I don’t mean to brag when I say that I had already played “Little Big Planet” a few times before trying out the malleable PlayStation 3 platformer again last week.

Instead, I mean to convince you that I had good reason to think I knew about the coolest stuff in the game. I’d run through levels. I had used the game’s mighty content editor to create all sorts of wild costumes and level props.

And yet I was floored five times during my brief opportunity to play the game with “LBP” technica..."

"Reports of the public beta’s cancellation emanating from an early May Sony event in Europe were labeled a “miscommunication” by the game’s technical director Alex Evans from development studio Media Molecule.

It’s not a dead issue, Evans said. He said that the game is currently in private beta and that what the game’s team meant to tell the European press is that “There’s no public beta now.”

I asked if there will be a public beta and he said: “It’s a question of how much, how big.” He ..."

GamesRadar has updated their LBP gallery with screenshots fresh from the showroom floor. Right from Sony's Gamer Day to your monitor are all the latest images of LBP. From Pirate ships to Serengeti. It seems like Media Molecule has already made some of the cooler levels.

"In our most recent hands-on with LBP, we’re busy creating a mock wedding, merrily slapping wheels and bunny ears onto an EyeToy photo of ourselves before rolling it down a hill to a chapel, where it will ‘marry’ a photo of a fellow journo, decorated with shells and vampire fangs

But that doesn’t explain what LBP actually is - it defies pigeonholing. Is it a platformer? Yes - there are stacks of platform-based Story Mode levels, as you leap from one end of the level to the other, avoiding t..."

"5:00 BST: Just to confirm the earlier Killzone 2 release date of February 2009--no news on whether this is worldwide, but as this is a European conference, that will definitely be the Euro release date. [UPDATE] Thus far, this delay has been announced for Europe only.

4:40 BST: Killzone 2 will be released in February 2009 in Europe.

4:28 BST: LittleBigPlanet will be released on the PlayStation 3 in October. Hirai highlights the success of PlayStation Network, and says that communities w..."

"The channel interviewed Kyle Schubel, senior producer at SCEA, who touched on a number of areas. Although the level in the hands on was created by one of the developers, it was made with the same tools that will be available to all users. And it's a pretty cool level as you'll see from the video below.

Schubel commented on the cloudy issue of dying, dismissing suggestions that the game would be too easy. During the hands on, one of the sackboys falls into a fire pit but simply respawns at ..."

"For those of us hyped up about Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet, we've got a special little update that should hype you up even further about this particularly-quirky title that lets you create your very own world from the bottom up. We have a new trailer that talks about how LittleBigPlanet is not just a game, but an evolving experience.

In the video, we see quite a lot of gameplay, and from the very informative voice over, we are told that LittleBigPlanet's development doesn't stop the m..."

"The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 have brought HD gaming into the mainstream. After years of High-Def in the living room being a hazy concept that really only affected A/V aficionados, the more technologically inclined, and the affluent, these videogame machines have made HD Gaming as simple and affordable as “plug n’ play.” But as with any consumer device, the hardware, for all its potential, is just that — untapped potential. What really brings out the true worth of the machine is the soft..."

I can most certainly say that tekmosis wishes that it was him that managed to get his hands on the leaked build, however who it is, is a wonder, but what can be said is that it's the friend of the Administrator of PS3-Sense.nl website. Caught playing this via the Friends list, you can see it being played in the picture below.

"It's been another sad and lazy month without any updates from Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet. Fortunately, a rumor heard from CVG's sources should help drum up some renewed interest for the game. It was recently reported that Sony Studio Liverpool is currently working on a PlayStation Portable version to LittleBigPlanet."

"GamePro readers have spoken: the most eagerly anticipated PS3 title this year is none other than Metal Gear Solid 4.

The news might be unsurprising to some, given the amount of hype and anticipation surrounding this upcoming system seller, but what is slightly surprising is just how much of a win MSG4 achieved over other highly anticipated PS3 IP in GamePro's most recent readership poll.

The Hideo Kojima title pulled in 57.7% of the vote, a full 46.4% higher than second place finisher (..."

"Details originally cropped up here, claiming the company had pinned down a September release for LittleBigPlanet

When contacted by videogaming247, an SCEE spokesperson stated, “Yes this information is all correct - although it has been in the public domain for a while now.”

Although LittleBigPlanet had previously been pegged for a September release in Europe, both Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 had yet to receive any information on when PAL gamers could expect them on store shelves."

"Dead Space (Oct 31, 360/PS3/PC)

Dead Space feels eerily similar to Aliens, but the introductory trailer and our first hands-on demonstrated a level of suspense, mood, and intensity we haven't seen in a while. The premise: the entire crew of a deep space mining ship has gone missing, and it's up to you, the sole survivor, to rid the vessel of alien baddies. It should be noted that EA's survival horror only marginally beat out Left 4 Dead (360/PC), the fast-paced Zombie Killer by Valve with ..."

At the European PlayStation forums, there is some word that the moderators have the game in a closed beta stage. While this may anger some Little Big Planet fans, you shouldn't worry much cause there hasn't been a confirmation yet. So until we hear more about this, its going to be put in the rumor bin until more is found out.

"We’re all totally in love with our little Sackboy character, we’ve spent a couple years watching him run, jump and slap his way though dozens of levels, and the little chap has so much personality we could almost believe he’s real.

So our collective jaws hit the floor when we saw what one of our artists MOTHERS had made, Silvia’s actually made Sackboy, for real, in all his knitted and stitched glory! It’s so good we wondered if we’d hired the right member of the family to work here! (Not r..."

Sony is showing off one of their big hitters, LittleBigPlanet at CES 2008 (Consumer Electronics Show). In the video you will see the world map through which you can share your games to particular locations and Media Molecule demonstrates how to give away your creations as prizes. As for the release date, rumors are spreading that the game will be released fall 2008. No way to tell until the official announcement.

"Wired's annual Vaporware Awards went up yesterday, and because this is the Internet quite a few of the slots went to videogames. But we're not nearly done yet.

We have some slightly different rules for this list. The game in question didn't have to ever have an official 2007 release date attached to it, just as long as the hype coming from the publisher vastly outweighed the substance."

"From around September or October, the PS3 will move into top gear: that’s when Killzone 2 will arrive, to truly take first-person shooters into the next-gen era. And – more excitingly in my book – when LittleBigPlanet – will arrive. Again, LBP will provide an unknown gameplay experience – firstly, because it is so unlike any other game and, secondly, because it will be up to us to define the gameplay. As the new video of LBP shows, it’s going to look amazing – we’ll get the wh..."

"Not merely a high-profile gong ceremony that saw BioShock yesterday emerge as the winner of the coveted 'Game of the Year' category, the 2007 Spike VGAs also offered up a plethora of 'World Premiere' trailer exclusives, which include Rainbox Six Vegas 2, LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo 5, and more.

"Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet could be a driving force in improving PlayStation 3 sales early next year, according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter.

Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz from the Tokyo Game Show, Pachter said the highly-anticipated game from the makers of Rag Doll Kung Fu should appeal to a family audience - something that Sony and rival Microsoft have so far failed to capture with their next-generation machines.

"Remember those old concept pics showing Mario, Master Chief and Katamari Damacy in LittleBigPlanet? Well it looks like it's entirely possible to have them in the final game yourself.

"That was just early concept art," creative director Mark Healey informed CVG, "but you can customise your character so much that that's entirely possible." Our LBP character's going to have a nice set of Master Chief armour then...

Healey says that because you can pimp out your character with "stickers" im..."

"LittleBigPlanet is a new PS3 community-based game with a hugely innovative concept behind it. Players meet on a blue and green planet scattered with individual plots – and use their character’s amazing abilities to play, create and share what they build with other gamers throughout the world via PSN.

It would seem someone had gotten too excited and leaked the official boxart of this upcoming PS3 exlusive game. This has neither been confirmed nor denied, we will keep you posted."

"It's funny -- I don't think we actually mentioned this previously, but yes, we will certainly have enemies in the game; I think that's a fundamental part of good gameplay," said Wilson. "They will range from little robots that simply roam from left to right to spectacularly complex beasts that pose quite a challenge. We've recently built this big, huge giant, and, as with other objects in the game, he's composed entirely of materials that you wouldn't expect. He's quite intimidating, and show..."

"Unfortunately, before I had even settled into my seat, a Sony rep walked up and said, "Alex, we really need you to do interviews now."

"Oh, ok. Should I shut this game down?" Alex replied.

My heart momentarily sank but my hope rose again when the Sony rep said, "No, we've got somebody else coming to demo it."

Okay, even with someone else running the demo, I figured I'd still have a good time. My eyes drew back to the screen in front of me. My fellow editor had created a sticker the s..."

"It seems as if LitteBigPlanet public beta is almost ready and could be hitting PSN very soon, maybe by the fall if the rumors are anything to go by. The game has got many gamers exited and lets be fair it does look fantastic.

There are so many great features being added to LittleBigPlanet, one which I personally like is your character’s different mood changes, which can be changed just by hitting a direction the your D-pad. With these different moods the character will act differently, i..."

"When you first get your hands on LittleBigPlanet, your reaction will be to laugh at it. It might be even a little giggle, but some form of laughter will definitely come due to such fun and brilliant innovation presented by Media Molecule, the talent behind Rag Doll Kung Fu. LittleBigPlanet begins primarily with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are obstacles to explore, and puzzles to solve, all of which requires a combination o..."
