Some sad news for everyone in Japan who's still playing and enjoying LittleBigPlanet content. A post on the Japanese PlayStation blog (and then translated by NeoGAF) stated that the servers for the original title, its two sequels, the karting game, and portable/Vita version will all be shutdown on July 31st.
Oh say, can you see that LittleBigPlanet will be offering some patriotic DLC for its players this week? That's right, show off your love for red, white, and blue with a green Sackboy costume of a well-known American lady. Incoming tomorrow, July 3rd, LittleBigPlanet will make a special "Sacktue of Liberty" DLC costume available...
LittleBigPlanet 2 has been around for quite some time now, but this excellent 4 player co-op title is still getting premium DLC. The latest comes in the form of DC Superheroes, dress as your favorite heroes and villains, but also get new assets and skills to play with.
LittleBigPlanet 2 has been out for two years now and over that time seems to have had more DLC than the entire Wii catalog combined. It is hard to know what to buy and what to miss; thankfully Media Molecule have removed this tricky life decision and created the LBP 2 Extra Edition. This new retail version of the game is coming soon and will contain the original game, plus a 'best of' selection of DLC.
Do you think that LittleBigPlanet 2 would be perfect for a WiiU game? Sony thinks so, but rather than bringing the game to the new WiiU console, an upcoming DLC pack for LBP2 will introduce cross-controller play between the Playstation 3 and the Playstation Vita. This is great news to gamers who already own a PS3 and a Vita, but probably sad news for WiiU owners who don't have those two consoles.
Summer is here! In parts of America this has meant a boiling heat wave, in Britain it has meant constant rain and flooding - the usual then. In the world of LittleBigPlanet 2 it means something entirely different. Summer is celebrated in the form of some free DLC for the game. Catch it now as the DLC is on...
Remember a few weeks ago we talked about the Alice in Wonderland costume DLC for LittleBigPlanet 2? This week, we have a few costumes being release that are more involved with PlayStation gaming.
Time Burton's Alice in Wonderland may not be a super good film script-wise, but I guess it did a pretty good job of capturing the look of Lewis Caroll's classic book. Nobody may have been crying for it, but LittleBigPlanet 2 owners can now play as those difficult-to-connect-with characters, thanks to the 'Alice in Wonderland Costume Pack.'
Little Big Planet 2 is one of the few games that makes me a bit jealous of PS3 owners. That game looks awesome! This Saturday, February 18th at 8PM Central, I'm going to be even more jealous, because I'll be missing out on a Little Big Planet 2 co-op night. If you own a PS3 and Little Big Planet 2, you're invited to join! Unfortunately, I won't be making it, unless the Co-Optimus community surprises me with a PS3 and a copy of the game before Saturday. No? Dang. It was worth a shot.
If recently reaching over 6 million user made levels was not enough for LittleBigPlanet 2, developers Media Molecule are doing even more for fans by partnering with The Muppets for The Muppets Premium Level Kit. The pack contains a bonus Rowlf costume (to go with the other Muppet costumes you can buy), but also 5 new levels, new stickers and 'Attract-o-Gel', which allows Sackboy et al. to walk on walls and ceilings.
6 million is a lot of levels. Imagine starting up the new Mario game, only to find you have 6 million more levels to play! The chances are you would have to pass the game on to your decedents to complete. Sounds like complete fancy doesn't it? Not for the LittleBigPlanet franchise which has just hit 6 million user made levels - and not all of them are rubbish people post up for a trophy.
It’s not uncommon these days for successful games to be bundled with their DLC and repackaged as Game of the Year editions. It’s a great way of attracting gamers who passed on the game originally by offering lots of extra content. Just as the first LittleBigPlanet got the GOTY treatment, so too will the sequel – this time dubbed LittleBigPlanet 2 Special Edition. Sony will also be offering the Special Edition in a Playstation Move bundle for an even better deal.
