Further, since copies of the PlayStation 3-only platformer are already sitting in stock rooms all over the world, the game will be recalled from retailers.Ī new release date has not been confirmed, though UK retailers-who began listing a delay a few days ago-are speculating the new release will come in the week of November 9. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.Įurogamer has confirmed that the delay is worldwide. CVG obtained this statement from Sony's European branch:ĭuring the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur'an. Original Story: Media Molecule's highly anticipated LittleBigPlanet (PS3) is facing a delay and recall from retailers-just a few days shy of release-after being finished nearly a month ago. However, publisher Sony decided that the "right thing to do for quality and support of people with no on-line was to replace existing disks." The company has yet to issue a new release date for the anticipated PlayStation 3 platforming game.

Update: LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule has revealed via its official site that a day-one patch was just completed and would have removed the offensive material. I'll keep you posted as the app is explored a bit more.Update 2: Sony has announced that LittleBigPlanet will now ship the week of October 27 in North America, with more details having surfaced on the song in question.

I'm curious to see how far that kind implementation will take the imagination of gamers, but it's looking promising so far. I'm also impressed that it has some fairly good Kinect integration for some custom content. The verdict is still out.įor now, I kind of like what I see with Project Spark. If there's a right proper balance to it all, then it may not be too bad. If it's the sort of thing that eventually gets out of hand, where every other feature is locked behind a paywall, then I can see how the cash shop can become burdensome. Given that it's still in beta, I have no idea how necessary it will be to dump money into Project Spark.

You can use either tokens or credits to acquire some user-created levels or games. You need to buy the tokens from the cash shop. The credits are earned by using Project Spark, playing around in it, etc., etc. It reminds me a little bit like Mania Planet's planet currency, but a bit more nefarious. Given that the app is free, there is a free-to-play style cash shop involved. I think the Xbox One just found it's real killer app. There's also keyboard support if you really feel you need it.Īnd even if you're not that creative, there are at least a lot of different forms of content to engage in to hold over you interest.

Modifying or changing maps around is almost identical to the geometry deformation toolset from the Far Cry games, and selecting and changing attributes and events for objects is all handled with a radial pop-up menu via the controller. The thing that helps separate Project Spark from a bunch of other creation tools out there is that it's fairly easy to use.
