"Actually, here's an even better idea: Keep your eyes firmly planted on 1up.com during the next few days for your chance to join me in the LittleBigPlanet Beta . We'll be giving away a bevy of access codes to our users...and while I can't go into specific details yet, know that we'll be editing, playing, and sharing our levels with our lucky LBP Beta winners."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
Whatever.
Seriously the release dates on the beta codes, how they are being handle and stuff is wrong. We get the beta codes later and have less time to play while other countries are already playing. Than the websites GET TO CHOOSE WHEN TO RELEASE IT and its usually on their broadcast days instead of the day they get it. Makes me sick to my stomach. Don't forget about the xbox 360, pc, wii, etc. with no ps3 and they can even get a beta code AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A PS3 WHAT A WASTE.
well let it happend one more time because i want to get into the beta so bad
LBP mania. PS fans are normally very patient with regards to waiting for quality games but this is the only game where everyone is dyeing to get into.
One month before its released and already there are heaps of user generated content for it.
Talked to some of my friends that are in the beta and they said the game is freaking amazing. The graphics, the physics and its pure fun. O top of this they are going crazy over thinking about levels they are building because there are so many things they could do.
While you guys loathe the internet looking for a code..I'm playing the beta right now...I feel special..And not the kind of special that needs a helmet when walking...
