LittleBigPlanet glitches to be left untouched; more interactive music planned

Critical Gamer Writes: As you may have already heard, they told us that they thought LittleBigPlanet 2 would be a very bad idea. In part two of the interview, going live on Monday, they give us some more interesting snippets.

"There definitely will be more interactive music. Whether that's standalone in a music only pack… I don't know yet. We'll see how the first music pack does first. We'd love to do that; as with everything we do we'll listen to the community, and see how it goes." says producer Martin Lynagh.

Its ok to leave minor glitches in as long as they're not gamebreaking.

A bug is a bug, and should be taken out when they are known.
These are principles of efficient/clean programming.

I say its lame on their part for not doing it.
But sure if people actually going to defend this...whatever.

Well level designers in the LBP comunity are accustomed to these glitches already .. so it's not a problem as long as the crash-games ones are taken out ... ( i can't help but wonder how much data and testing they need to do just to add water lol )

And i'm intrested in music packs but i'm more intrested in more level pack like the MGS one ..

1.4 - Just an FYI as to the reasoning behind this...
1. Since the game is heavily physics based, any changes could break current levels.

2. Creators are actually using the "glitches" in the system to do some pretty amazing things.

3. None of those said glitches break the gameplay in any way.

1.5 - Agree with Sidar
To say "I'm ok with bugs". Well geez, my job (software engineer) just became a WHOLE LOT EASIER!! WHOO HOOO.

Thanks guys.

I'm not sure you guys are understanding LittleBigPlanet glitches. There's one that makes an item go further than the 3 spaces you're allowed and making non slippery glass or glass you could grab.

A lot of people use those in their levels and to take minor yet cool glitches out would suck.

So, these are actually good glitches that the community loves.

It's especially acceptable when the glitches allow you to do wacky things you aren't supposed to do.

I think LBP is the exception to the rule in this circumstance, because any other game it would become annoying but in LBP you can get creative with the glitches and use them to make unique levels. I think they're making the right decision here, like they say though, if it breaks the game it gets removed.

Job's a good un'

No, all bugs should be fixed, they r 2 lasy. The reason i don't play it is because of the bugs within the game.

I've got to say, the presence of any bug in a game does annoy me, but I must admit that I haven't had the fortune to give LBP a play. Needless to say, if the glitches can be exploited to make room for new creativity, and not just make sack boy snag his sack on the corners, then I see no harm in it.

Combos in the original Street Fighter were never meant to be there - therefore they're glitches. Is anyone gonna complain about them? Thought not. Come on, a good glitch allows for good new stuff...

I agree wholeheartedly. If it doesn't break the game then it's no big deal to leave gliches in.

the glitches is lbp aren't normal glitches. it's just things that people have found to make things that weren't put in to the game. i've got a cool glow in the dark skeleton costume that is a glitch.

There would be a huge out cry from theLBP community if the glitches were fixed, this news will make them sleep easyer now that they don't have to worry about them being removed and now they don't have to worry about them being fixed they will come up with even more brilliant ideas

I've got LBP sitting next to my ps3, still untouched at the moment. I bought a load of games the other week including UC2,KZ2 and inFamous.

I'll get round to playing it eventually.

I played a couple of levels when I first got it, my kids love it and I saw it was something I could get into, it was a lot of fun to play. But the blockbusters were there to play as well.

I'll probably have a crack at it over the next couple of days.

I'm confused. If it's sitting untouched next to your PS3 how have you played a couple levels?

But I've bought every piece of LBP dlc out there to support Media Molecule.

Love the fact that they are planning to add more music.

Yay they won't patch the 3d glitch. This glitch opened a whole new world in LBP.

...has one of the coolest glitches EVER, in the "demonic swingsets". I was very happy that R* didn't fix/patch that part of the game, as I've spent countless hours messing around with the wacky physics going on there. I haven't encountered the glitch this is regarding in LBP (I've only spent about 8 hrs with the game so far), but if it's a similar deal, I see no harm in leaving the glitch in.
