This game just continues to look more and more fantastic. I can't wait to get my hands on and try messing around with stuff. I really hope some people here pick it up too so we can do some collaborative messing about. ^^

You can count me in on picking up the game. :)
I was basically hooked upon this game, because I liked one of their previous ones: Ragdoll Kung Fu. Adding it on with huge customization of whatever you want to make is a big plus.

I'm definitely getting this on day one, I'm merely waiting for more details on the pre-order bonuses so I can decide which store to pick it up from.

Excellent stuff. I'm almost certain I've got Kago on my Triple friends list, have I got you on there also Rock? If not, we should, because I feel LBP muck about is almost a necessity.

Wow, I thought I had most of the people from GFF on my Friends List, but somehow I missed you! I definitely need to fix that.

I have all kinds of plans for levels, but then I see a new feature, and then I get all these new ideas. But still, I'll make a giant mechanical Bowser on day one. That's my goal.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have a feeling once I get hands on with the tools, and see some of the things Mm have done in their levels there will be a whole wealth of further inspiration for stuff. I'm hoping I can make like a stunt race level somehow. Really am looking forward to getting my hands on this.

Can't believe I missed this, but it seems GameCrazy is getting the LittleBigPouch pre-order bonus. Now we just need word on who's getting the stickers and the Nariko Sackgirl (probably the one I'll get if no real Sackboy plushies are announced).

Don't come in your shorts yet, Lord British.

The UGC is REGION SPECIFIC. Don't ask why. I don't fucking know.

Um...fuck off. Bad idea central. At least it says that levels can be moved from regional server to regional server if they do it manually, but I guess that'll only happen to the highest rated or most popular stages. What this means for our community here...well, it's a kick in the nuts.

Coming from Leipzig, it plays every bit as fun as it looks.
No big surprise there. Teaming up to get a platform across a chasm has never been this much fun.
Plus it really looks just amazing. Guess I'll really need at least one more controller for this one.

That's good news. It wouldn't have stopped me buying the game, but that would have been rather irritating. Guess Skills and untwist his knickers now. :p

Well, that's good then. I was worried about not being able to share levels with you, Omagnus. Would have annoyed me greatly if that was the case.

Looks like a free build mode for multiplayer which may get annoying with all the players in the screen but also pretty damn fun. Also shows a glimpse of the pause menu which shows a "Videos and Voice over" option which I'm not sure what it does exactly.

EuroGamer have a cool interview up with Alex Evans from Mm:

Damn, I can't wait. I'll see if I can't pull some strings and get my hands on a preview code or something:/

In case anyone missed it a few days ago, Nariko Sackgirl has been announced for Best Buy.

I went to one of the BBs in town today to see if they had the vouchers yet, but I didn't see any. Once they do get them in I'll definitely get one, though I don't know if I'll be getting the game from BB (I already have the code for Kratos, but I'm definitely not getting the game from GameStop).

News both good and bad (to an extent on both counts):

Shame that the online level editor won't be available from launch, but I can live without it for a little bit if we get the game a little bit sooner (and we will at least get the functionality down the line). The spaceman costume looks quite cool.

I was just reading about that yesterday. While I am kinda miffed that one of the game's biggest and most touted features won't be available from the start (and, since no timetable was given for when it would come out, it could be weeks), there's still plenty to do otherwise that it won't be that noticeable (at first). I can still make levels offline with my sister, and hopefully the time will allow for most people to become good enough with the level editor so that people can work well together when they do finally go online.

Thanks to Taco I've managed to get a hold of a beta key, which I managed to download last night (eventually). Sadly not had a chance to install and play it, and now I'm off to work. Will definitely be giving that a whirl tonight after work.

theres a beta :mad:

Well I just preordered mine for the nariko sackgirl and can't wait till I get my hands on the game. Checked out the intro for the beta as well with all the picture in credits level which seemed interesting. Just like what people did with spore, I'm guessing some levels created will be on the mature side of things.

Game is awesome, confirmed. Stephen Fry's narration = <3

Hopefully I'll get a key today, and then I'm going to create something retarded.
A question, Omagnus: The beta is limited, but how limited is it? Can you make things we've seen in the trailers or are any obvious functions missing?

I've not got far enough in to hit any obvious walls. You can play various story levels and I imagine they are limited after not too long (though I've played about 3 or 4 and have about 7 unlocked). I've played with the level creation stuff and I've played some custom levels online with a couple of people. I've not actually played all the various tutorial bits and pieces that teach you all the tools they give you access to (with the excellent Stephen Fry narration).

I'm sorry, what? Stephen Frye narrates this?
