One million LBP levels now uploaded News
PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson
More than a million user-created LittleBigPlanet levels have now been uploaded.
They've been played over 244 million times. A new level has been published every 21 seconds since launch.
Did you see it on the video? Oh no? Then visit the US PlayStation blog, where there's a special trailer to celebrate hitting the million mark.
The post suggests popping back to the blog on 18th August as, "The folks at Media Molecule might have something interesting to tell you about then." Ben Fogle Sackboy costume? Here's hoping.

red_shift - We're working on some new ways for creators to promote their levels, which should mean that more of the best created levels get played.

Wombat,
why the fuck are you comparing a book to a game? Just because 90% of the custom levels are crap doesn't mean anything, there are some real diamonds in the rough in LBP. I mean, 90% of retail games released on PS3 & 360 could be classed as shite but that doesn't invalidate the consoles themselves does it?

I love LBP, it's one of the best games ever made.
If you look properly, you can find some absolutely mind blowing levels on there. Love it. |

One million levels 9,999,900 of them are copy/pastes, trophie makers, pointless roller coasters, costume tutorials and "sightly daring" (plays itself) uninspired levels. The game is impressive, and some creations too, but the community... most of them "play my level" or "heart4heart" bots. Not to say every level is overrated: 5/5 means "decent"...

lol I was just saying that quantity doesnt equal quality, hence the analogy of a book being full of words but using more doesnt necessarily make it better. I wasnt saying that the game was crap, I think its a good game. I just felt that "One million levels uploaded" was a bit of a useless statistic. I also dont doubt that there are some excellent levels. Ive seen some that are based on films, and they are very creative. Ive seen others that are just wasting space/bandwidth *shrugs*

"dunno why this got negatives - i agree! " Well, one of the main reasons for giving a negative would be the perception that the opinion presented in that post represented uneducated bias rather than having actually tried out all the functions that he tends to criticize. I was one of the contributors to Gaol's post's negative score. For example, I have played the game, and thought it a VERY GOOD platformer with realistic physics (for a protagonist made out of cloth), thought the community functions (uploading & sharing a level, commenting on a level, rating it, submitting grievances, etc) were equivalent to several game-related websites out there (e.g. Gamespot, IGN) and the editor bent over backwards to make creating quite a lot of fun (even if not as fun as actually playing). |

Well even if 99% levels in a million are utter crap or rip-offs, that still leaves us with about 10000 decent/original ones. The best still are naturally selected by the community, through ratings and popularity.
Think about it, how many platforming games give you so many levels? Not many, I can tell you that. I can live with those statistics... and the editor bent over backwards to make creating quite a lot of fun (even if not as fun as actually playing). I agree that for those seeking to get the most out of it, the editor can become quite complex. But then again, this is a game. The editor should never need to be as fun as actually playing the levels. ;)

By 'bias' I presume you mean some kind of fanboy bullshit. Well news is I'm a PS3 owner and even 'fan', I just didn't think much of LBP. Imprecise and floaty, I had more fun with Sonic the hedgehog nearly 20 years ago. Finding good levels isn't made much easier by the crappy search and rating functions and the level editor seems an unintuitive fiddle. /shrug |

"By 'bias' I presume you mean some kind of fanboy bullshit" You presume wrong. By bias, I mean one or more of these: a half-hearted attempt at playing LBP, any prejudice against platformers (or for other genres), or maybe you just weren't able to get into the game or didn't give it the proper time of day and were giving an opinion for something which you have not properly played through. One does not have to be devoid of the PS3 to be lacking in any sort of bias. I have played the game through and disagree on each of your points of critique.

Well, the only thing you describe that could be described as 'bias' would be 'bias against platformers' and as I mentioned, I've played and loved them for years. I suspect you really did mean anti-Sony bias.
In terms of playing the game, I completed the single player and spent a few hours in the community levels. Don't assume someones opinion is less educated or valid simply beacuse you don't share it. |

"I suspect you really did mean anti-Sony bias." As I've stated earlier, you suspect wrong. However, if you've really got it into your head that I was referring to you being anti-Sony, then unfortunately there is little I cando to disillusion you. "Don't assume someones opinion is less educated or valid simply beacuse you don't share it. " You didn't do a very good job of explaining yourself when you first posted. Even when you posted your reason in detail, it seemed your opinion was based off EG's review (re: floaty controls) and approaching the game with something less than an open mind. As it is, the controls suit me just fine (and I suspect most others who do give it an honest chance) and the community functions are quite good (except for the few unfortunate incidents of some levels being modded/deleted).
