Sony Europe has told Eurogamer that all user-generated content in LittleBigPlanet will be free at launch.
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.
Well, yes, they said only the best of the best would have the option to charge, so if you want money, better get creative and build a rep.
i wouldnt expect to pay for the contents right away anyway. i mean allot of people will need to get use to the creating thing for this game. But i do think we will be able to sell them after a couple of month. Hopefully HOME open beta will start by then. IDK im kinda of thinking this game is set for HOME beta release or something.
I believe that the ranks of your creation would count wether or not you can sell it. They have that online ranking thing so they can sort out how much it will cost through there.
is that your lvl has to be aprove cuz i would hate paying for something that sux
LBP Is gonna kill and be alot more fun then another generic 4 hours shooter like gears of war 2.
Well I figured everyone blew it out of proportion when SCEE said that you could charge for your content. I mean, you have to be able to prove that your stuff is good enough to begin with. And I know they wouldn't just let crappy stuff slip by, and so only high end stuff, stuff that'd you expect from a dlc on most games, will come at a cheap price, and it gives great incentive for people to create stuff well after the first few weeks.
Anyways, the greatest news is how responsive MM is. They probably heard the bad hype the pay for content was getting, so they made sure everyone knows it'll be free for starters. And the good news is it seems they'll be asking the community if they want to charge or not. Which is fantastic. Nothing like a development listening to the community. I see nothing but good things from LBP. Can't wait!
