    Re: LittleBigPlanet Delayed to November 14th, Gaming vs. Religion Strikes Again!

    To nitpick, people actually having seizures didn't cause WipEout HD to be delayed. It just barely failed the tests and models set up by the industry to ensure safe gameplay so the developers decided not to take any chances and completely rework the part of the game that was experiencing the problem, Zone Mode.

    That's a totally different situation though, as the game did benefit from the delay. While the art guys in charge of Zone Mode were reworking it, the rest of the team was able to go in and mirror all the tracks for gameplay, add in trophy-support, beef up the online options, tune up the motion controls and add custom soundtrack support.

    And yes, I have plenty of games to play, but LittleBigPlanet transcends all.

    And yeah, TGM, those are all the in-game bonuses available. I think Amazon was giving out some sort of sticker book or whatever. Sephiroth and the FFVII pack, along with Old Snake and the MGS pack, will be coming in December. They will be bundles that include more characters and levels designed by Square Enix and Kojima Productions.

    Media Molecule's mentioned that they've been talking with other first and third party partners, for instance Keiichiro Toyama of Silent Hill fame, and Fumito Ueda of Team ICO fame. Pyramid Head and Ico sackboys please!

        Great article you found!

        I don't think they should have had to recall it at all. Under free speech, they have the right to simply not buy it.

        What I just said may sound "intollerant," but I have to say that business is business.

        Though flipping it around, if someone made a game about bashing Jesus, i'd be pretty offended too. I'd complain about it on boards like this, but I'd never vote to ban it or have it changed. I just wouldn't ever buy it.

          I'm glad to see that the Muslim community agrees with the majority so kudos to them. I totally understand how they could be upset over the issue but how it was handled was wrong. Lets hope we've all learned a lesson here and can move on. (And fyi, this had nothing to do with people whining about their game being delayed a few extra days.)

            Just got a voicemail from gamestop saying it would be out tomorrow. Called the one I reserved it at and yes, some stores will have it tomorrow, others may not get it until monday. If you had it reserved you may call and find out for sure if your store will be getting it in tomorrow.

              And yes, I have plenty of games to play, but LittleBigPlanet transcends all.
              I don't understand the appreal, really. Its a design-a-game game. Its not going to come close to the potential it could have had had it been created for PC. Two words: Mod Community. Yes, there are lots of possibilities, but its still stranded on a console

              This might have slightly longer shelf life than things like RPG Maker or Mario Paint did. Couldn't stand any designable console game more than a week before moving on to something else.

              Anyway, my alpha consumer days as a gamer are long since passed. Side effects are more money in my wallet, more game actually beaten that I do have, not spazzing about any form of delays and only buying RPGs on release, waiting for everything else used.

              Irony of this thread: People who complained about why this game and disagreed with Sony's so-called censorship will be buying the game anyway. This more or less tells Sony it was OK to do what they did and now, they'll keep doing it if they feel the need to. So anyone who wanted to feel like a winner about that Edge story: If you buy LBP and are against censorship, you lose

                  Got a call from GameStop and a e-mail from Best Buy saying LBP is going to be released on the 10/25. I checked both places today and they are not in yet. Both places stated sometime next week, the 27th or so.

                  Yes I have 2 pre-orders... Nuriko and Kratos ftw. I just need my spaceman suit and I'm all set.

                    I'll let the mods and admins decide what trolling is, not you or Feba. Thanks.

                    I think screaming censorship and buying it is just as hilarious as refusing to buy it because of what little of practically no gameplay or story substance was taken out.

                    And all this over a game that got delayed for a week and a half? I'm sure Sony is really sorry about whatever inconvience this brought to a spoiled gamer's sense of entitlement.

                      You really ought to know better. We know trolling, we do a fair deal of it. Just because you aren't moderated doesn't mean that the moderators don't think you're trolling too.

                      And yes, believe it or not, there are those of us who refuse to buy games (or even entire consoles!) because we've been pissed off in some way. It has nothing to do with WHAT was removed, it has everything to do with WHY things were removed; and also HOW. Even if you have no problem with removing a song from a game, you can still have a problem with delaying a game for weeks to remove it for no good reason.

                        Its out now and that's whats important.

                        Is anyone else not able to connect to the LBP servers? Internet is working just fine, I imagine they aren't up yet or are just overloaded.

                          Probably the latter, usually the case when a new online game is out.

                            Everything he's saying only relates to US related issues. But seeing as this game is being released world wide, none of his arguments really hold water. I.e. the guys who complained, they don't have the first amendment.

                            But many people would "vote" to ban or change it. Hell, plenty of games/movies/media had their share of problems from religious fanatics of all religions. Crazy people are crazy, no matter what "gods" they believe in.

                            Then you really don't know anything about this game. My nephew got it today and me and him spent a good 6 hours just *playing* it. No building or anything, though we did fiddle with the creator for maybe an hour or so. Even if you're not a fan of make-it-yourself games, this game comes with 60+ pre-built levels, using the same system you have access to, right out of the box. That should be more then enough to keep someone busy until the servers open and fan made levels hit the net. Not to mention any other official DLC levels and such being released. And that's one of the major aspects that will make this game far more successful then previous creator games. Right from the start there will be a massive, built in, world wide community of creators and players.
