They never promised anything. But Mark Healey and Alex Evans talked about the possibilities, with people being able to just create themselves a 'homepage' or whatever. That doesn't mean weblinks, just more of a blogspot. The lack of user content means any homepage would be an assemblage of in-game assets, making them much of a like and pretty redundant ("like blogs," do I hear you say? :p). IMO the original concept was far more open.

Are you sure of that? That'd make more sense, but the way it was described...

It sounds like each of these is a territory, each territory has levels and a curator, and the Beta levels seemed to span an entire territory with the King telling us to jump on a ship and visit the next curator. That'd be 8 territories and 3 levels each, 18 levels, which gels with the articles remark on there being 20 levels. The IGN review calls the three English Garden levels 'levels' and not 'sublevels'.

I see Eurogamer and IGN have hit on issues raised here, like the random tags. I hope the game is properly progressed. I feel confident it will be.

It's somewhere in the IGN review, and it fits with the 60 levels number we heard before, and further more 8 x 3 = 24.

Edit: First page of the IGN review says: 20 main levels, 3 stages each.

no it's 8 world with 3 levels and 3-4 party game each
it's what we have always saw on all past videos
there are lot of videos where you can see the earth of the history mode with all levels, it's not a surprise, it's just 20-25 main levels (really enough for me, particularly for 100% challenge) and lot of party games

I see. The pods are better than blogs though.

What's missing is www links (e.g., publish video to YouTube directly, send greeting cards, RSS, ...).

EDIT: At some point, they need to turn LBP into a utility. If it's useful for certain non-game purposes, the momentum and traffic will propel the community forward.
 
Thanks Arwin, that was great.
The first segment made me want a Star Wars SackKid video for some reason.
And I'm quite surprised how well Little Big Puppeteering works for rap.

Anyone tested lipsync in offline mode? There isn't much point but still they might have enabled it for machinima.
 
I played that level ... it looks great, but the gameplay still sucks a bit ...
 
Can you tell before you get into an online game which region the other players are from?

Is there any kind of lobby or a way to chat or do you use the XMB?

Not that I know of. The XMB profile does not include nationality. Only spoken language is displayed. LBP uses the same infrastructure but you can access them in-game.

Yes, you can bring people back to your pod (or follow them to theirs). You can talk or text chat in the levels or in the pod.
 
See you guys at retail. I'll probably be in LBP 24/7 so if your not on my list add me and I'll gladly come test your levels with ya.

I send you a friends invite. I intend to spend a lot of time creating levels, trying to recreate Uncharted. So could use some feedback on my levels. And I'll happily test anyone's levels. If someone wants to add me to their friendslist, my PSN name is cornsnake.
 
Once LBP is with us, how many of these sackboy avatars and videos will be hitting peoples blogs, facebook entry etc? It really has potential to be huge if Sony play it right.
 
Yes there will be plenty but they won't flood the world. Not unless Sony makes it very easy to integrate or output LBP thingamajigs to the web (quickly).
