Hidy Ho Sackfolks! Remember that awesome 2.03 update for the PSP? It fixed a lot of issues, but if you think really hard, you may remember that it caused some major problems as well, and it even broke some levels that were already published!
Well, today is a good day to be a PSP sackboy/girl, because the 2.04 update is out now, and it is supposed to fix all of those nasty problems that 2.03 introduced. Here is a nice handy-dandy list of info about the update that Arrestor (PSN: Maboe84) was nice enough to post:
size: 14mb
Changes:
- Pistons now work normal when attached to a dynamic object first
- They wont get stuck to the popit anymore
- Scoreboards trigger if upside down (i think we can thank lleonard for that )
- no more problems when emitters emit the same myobject (didnt notice anything)
(source: in game news)
Update: The info is now also available on the official LBP website.
Those of you already having fun with LBP PSP may be pleased to know that there is an update available now that fixes some problems in the create mode and other minor issues.
However the update is not automatic but fear not Sam_Protagonist explained how to get it:
.Due to the nature of updating on PSP it is not possible to automate this process, so to update your version of the game please take the following steps :
- Locate the LBP icon on the XMB
- Press Triangle
- Select 'Update'
- Follow steps as dictated by the updater
Note that the update is available a little bit later in the US.
Hidy Ho Sackfolks! We've got some interesting news for you today, the Game of the Year edition of LBP has been announced.
So, you may wonder, what's so special about this new edition? Well, let me tell you:
7 different DLC Packs
18 NEW levels made by players (not by Mm)
Exclusive access to the upcoming ModNation Online beta!
Pretty exciting stuff, huh? But this leaves an obvious question for us folks who already have the game, will we be able to get our hands on these level? Kinda makes you think that maybe this is going to be Mm's big upcoming announcement (that there will be an 18 level DLC pack...hmmm... sounds like that would make a good Rumor Mill...
Anyway, here's what we've been given on the Game of the Year edition so far:
Friday is here again - just as it was this time last week funnily enough - and Mark Valledor (Marketing Manager for SCEA) has delivered his regular `Sack it to me` post over at the PlayStation Blog. This week he covers the Spike Video Game Awards, the Official LittleBIGPlanet youtube channel, both the 1.06 and 1.07 patches and – well, that`s it. He must have missed our coverage of all things MGS. I suppose we have been spoiled with lots of lovely Little Big Planet news already this week, so we`ll forgive him…this once 
Together with this week`s DLC update there is a rather hefty 25Mb update available for LittleBigPlanet. Apart from supplying the data for the new costumes and Festive Pack, Media Molecule have brought in some changes to the moderation system. The release notes are as follows:
The latest update (1.06) brings in some much requested changes to LBP’s moderation system. While the rules of what is and is not acceptable content for people to share have not changed, we have listened to your feedback and have made the following changes :
Moderated levels will now receive more detailed information once action has been taken
The notification message will remain in place on screen, removing the chance that affected users miss the message
Any moderated level can now be accessed for editing by the creator, whether online or offline
Additional information is now displayed on the “Good Grief” screen advising users on how the grief reporting functions, and warns against making spurious reports
Some very welcome changes there, I`m sure you`ll agree. The moderating issue has been one of the major bugbears with the otherwise excellent LBP and we here at LittleBigLand hope that this now goes a long way to alleviating the problem. Nice one Media Molecule
UPDATE: Sam Protagonist over at the LittleBigWorkshop added this following statement
These changes, coupled with additional work behind the scenes should alleviate most of the issues that creators have experienced with the moderation system, and there is more to come in the new year. Whilst the number of levels that have been moderated is fewer than 0.1% of the number that have been created and shared overall, we recognise that better communication is essential and we'll continue to improve the system in response to your feedback.
An explanation of what constitutes unacceptable content to be shared can be found in the game's End User License Agreement (EULA) which may be read at any time via the Settings menu in the game, however we recommend you follow these general guidelines :
- Ensure that the content you share with other users is suitable for all ages - everybody has access to your level if you publish it.
- Please respect other people's intellectual property rights. For example, don't use images, brands or logos that you're not entitled to use.
- If you come across any content that you feel the need to report, then please do it responsibly. Hoax reports will be considered inappropriate behaviour.
This update also includes some more server-side changes to the game however these are minor. There are more game updates due in the near future.
Weighing in at a tiny 15Mb, the latest update for LittleBigPlanet is waiting for you to download it before you next visit your pod. No official word on it`s contents but we can safely presume it`s the latest downloadable content data
