North American LittleBigPlanet gets 1.02 patch

by Majed Athab { Oct 26th 2008 at 11:15AM }

If you've been keeping up with our LittleBigPlanet coverage, you'll know that the v1.02 patch removes the controversial lyrical content from Toumani Diabaté's "Tapha Niang." That patch, which has been in Europe for a few days already, is now available in North America.

While the game is now ready for the public to play, the online servers are still not ready as of this writing. With "week of October 27" still locked in as the official release window, those online servers should be up sometime next week.

RasenganFury @ Oct 26th 2008 11:28AM

Downloaded the patch this morning, I wish the servers were ready so i could get my God of War costumes and make some levels.

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 26th 2008 12:27PM

the site that it tells me to go to to register my code says it's no longer available... wtf!

Gman @ Oct 26th 2008 11:32AM

I love LBP!!!!

Dejammey @ Oct 26th 2008 11:38AM

Yea Just got the patch and still no online play!!

Dave @ Oct 26th 2008 12:22PM

I'm returning this game tommorow , what a let down.
Seriously its mediocre , found the single player experience well ... short .
Making my own levels was sadly as much as i tried to like it just plain boring , I wish the developers the best of luck and it will sell buckets due to the hype i'm sure , but just not for me .
Think I will get Farcry or perhaps Fallout 3 instead. I think it is an ok game perhaps a 7/10 .

PS. I just wanted to point out how bad the simple physics are in LBP to . Just simple things like running and jumping are very poorly executed.

HeavyToka @ Oct 26th 2008 12:28PM

you my man are an idiot

strike @ Oct 26th 2008 12:34PM

Before everyone starts bitchin at this guy, it is his opinion. If he doesn't like LBP, it's his problem and loss. I also do not think LBP is that good, but that is MY opinion.

ANt @ Oct 26th 2008 12:49PM

Exactly.........game of the year!!

Kevin PSN: Keviseg15 @ Oct 26th 2008 12:51PM

what are you serious?
this game has to be the best game since it has infinite replay value because the community will keep making new levels plus it is the best game ive seen graphic wise running at 720p, they are just so sharp and amazing.
and gameplay is challenging at times but you say the story mode is short well thats why when you finish it the name of the trophy is"just the beggining" because there is so much more to do

Kspraydad @ Oct 26th 2008 12:54PM

A review of your past commentary on this game : http://playstation.joystiq.com/profile/1469044/page/2/ : reveals to me that you never wanted to like this game in the first place....so why the focused need to bash this game?

Sept 2nd "i fear that it will be the biggest over-hyped game since GTAIV . "

Sept 2nd "This is nothing new or groundbreaking as claimed , I can remember mucking around with the Jet Set Willy editor for the Sinclair Spectrum 48k back in the mid Eighties"

Aug 27th "I must be the only person who just isn't interested in this game ! I don't see the fuss about a platformer . "

And I think out of your 70 odd comments you've mentioned the Sinclair about 80 times...maybe you're just old and stuck in your ways?

NipGrip @ Oct 26th 2008 1:02PM

"Dave", you're a joke, please go away. The online portion which is one of the MAJOR draws to the game isn't even complete. We get it as pointed out above, you don't like or want to like LBP so yes, go play whatever shhot 'em up that pleases you.

As for it being his opinion, fine, my opinion is he has very little taste is gaming and enjoys a narrow niche of games.

OLDMIKE @ Oct 26th 2008 1:05PM

the story is short???? i call BULL
the bata was only one chapter and takes a bit to get every thing
i bet your a Xbot and dont even have a PS3

adolson @ Oct 26th 2008 1:19PM

OLDMIKE, yes, playing through the story levels is short, especially if you aren't trying to get every single prize bubble. I have had the game less than 24 hours and haven't played it for all that long, really, and yet I'm getting quite close to the end. Have you played it yet? The replay value will come with community levels. I wasn't expecting the included levels to last all that long to begin with.

PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Oct 26th 2008 3:28PM

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. IMO this is not only the best game of the year but the best game ever made. It's my favorite of all time. Truly epic.

Devin @ Oct 26th 2008 5:31PM

So I guess if a friend of mine had the opinion that when he was crossing the street that he wouldn't get hit by a car I should just let him keep his opinion? I think not. No one is entitled to their opinion if it is completely one-sided and adds nothing to the subject. LBP is that car, that luckily for him it can't actually kill him.

Considering the fact that you would've had to preorder the game, which according to your previous posts lead to a 100% "no way" on you even purchasing the game, I call BS that you have even played it and can form "opinions" such as the ones above.

Wayne @ Oct 26th 2008 5:35PM

Kspraydad totally owned you. Watch your Internet history lil man.

GummiTarzan @ Oct 26th 2008 12:28PM

I have actually had the came for 12 days, since I was at a pre-release party by the danish company hwo "runs" PS3 in Scandinavia.

There for I have happended to cross the server access once. And I am for sure the first to put levels up!

Search for Flying Sackboy first day the servers are up, or add GummiTarzan to see my online trophies. So keep trying, though it will for sure be a one time exp. since I can't make it online again :(

Tristan @ Oct 26th 2008 12:31PM

I have to agree with the previous commentor about some of the issues with the physics. At times it seems like the running and even some jumping is a bit difficult to execute, or even just bouncing on some of the platforms that allow you to go higher and higher is a bit tricky to get a hang of.

What level is the song on?

Ranben @ Oct 26th 2008 12:52PM

The African Level where you met the lion is the level with the song.

PS the lyrics where cut off for me prior to v1.02

GummiTarzan @ Oct 26th 2008 12:31PM

*The game of cause lol

devilmaker @ Oct 26th 2008 12:36PM

Stop talking about LBP!!! I can't stand it that we here in the UK (Where the game was made) can't have it until the 5th of november, its only 10 days away now, but I'm simply going mad hearing all the news about it, and it hasn't landed here!

Ptrack_Git @ Oct 26th 2008 12:42PM

My GoW code riped when I was pealing the sticker off of it... I think I figured it out from the scraps I pulled off the sticker... unless its more than 10 characters... if its 12 I'm screwed... I'll find out tomorrow I guess...
Oh yeah, YAH 1.2!!!

Kevin PSN: Keviseg15 @ Oct 26th 2008 12:53PM

its 12
your doomed.

NipGrip @ Oct 26th 2008 1:11PM

I've got a code for you if you need.. Hit me up on the PSN: NipGrip if you need.

sean @ Oct 26th 2008 1:15PM

same exact thing happened to me. just call gamestop up and ask if they have another. the guy even peeled it off for me just in case i did it again.

The Aggie CEO @ Oct 26th 2008 2:10PM

sticker???

mine was a scratch off........

Devin @ Oct 26th 2008 5:36PM

My g/f did the same thing. Yep, it's a scratchoff.....

TTownEP @ Oct 26th 2008 12:44PM

That way, you will remember, remember, the 5th of November.

DrunkRaba @ Oct 26th 2008 12:52PM

Love that movie!

TTownEP @ Oct 26th 2008 12:46PM

Also, I didn't hear any lyrics on the song BEFORE the patch. The song is in the second set of levels, the African Zora levels.

adolson @ Oct 26th 2008 1:21PM

Probably because you have the same disc as I do - the repressed version. You can tell by checking your UPC code on the back of the case.

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 26th 2008 1:48PM

Is the site for the GoW code working for anybody else? it says it doesn't exist for me... and I want my Kratosackboy!

The Aggie CEO @ Oct 26th 2008 2:18PM

more than likely its all connected to the same servers.....

so no......we cant get it yet either

The Aggie CEO @ Oct 26th 2008 2:20PM

I've had my LBP on all nite.......so I havent got the patch yet.....lol...

dont really care tho.....Its nothing major so I'll get it next time I restart the game

PSN: MaN_uTd_10 @ Oct 26th 2008 2:41PM

Philip @ Oct 26th 2008 2:42PM

MCX @ Oct 26th 2008 4:24PM

So I have the game right. I really want the "Launch Space Suit" anyone know how you get it?

Danicus (Surrey BC) @ Oct 26th 2008 4:27PM

Codes will work as soon as official release dates hit...

limit_45 @ Oct 26th 2008 5:13PM

"game is short"

what are u guys talking about?
got my copy yesterday and just got to the sahvanna level this morning(spent all night plying with my friends).

Unless your just running through the levels trying to beat the game as fast as you can theirs no reason the game should be short.

And as for the phisics. what, you were expecting the game to feel like every other platformer(supper mario)? its a new game with diffrent controls and diffrent phisics(which add to the dificulty of the game).

I believe most of these complaints are comming from people who:
a) try to play this as just another platformer
b) its a new game(not upper mario) or
c) don't have any friends to play with

ps:the games alot more ffun when the people ur playing wth are right next to you:)

I think the only ones complaining about this game are haters in the first place. I was a little skeptical in the fun of this game and how good it would be for me. I am happy to say I love the game. I couldn't stop thinking this morning of building a new level and everything that would go into it. Stop comparing it to Mario. Mario has nothing on this 3-D side scroller.
