Anyone afraid that there are going to be idiots online that will ruin the game in the same way as they do in FIFA by scoring own goals?

LitteBigPenis levels are guarnteed. Playing some of the user created levels will be like going through the insane levels in psychonauts. Entering the minds of some strange a crazy people. :D

It works like youtube, if a level gets x amount of flags then it'll be deleted. Works for youtube, I don't see it being a problem for LBP. No one is going to go out of their way and spend ages on a level they know will get deleted.

I think a demo would be a good idea, but it would be quite hard to show exactly what its all about without giving to much away. Its a bit like spore in a way, the creature creator is just a small part and the free one was quite limited but it was fun, and i upgraded to the full version. Shame LBP cant do something in the same way like a Sackboy creator and a few levels to play with, so you can get some ideas about the creative aspect and the gameplay.
As for the offensive things, ive heard that its quite good, in that you can highlight stuff as you play mark them as offensive and it stores the level, creator and your info which then gets sent to a mod to sort out. If you want to make little big boobies or whatever you can share content that maybe deemed offensive to people on your friends list only so it wont be modded in the same way.
 
Looks like I could get the chance to have a play of LBP before it's released. :p

Hi Steven,



It’s great that you’re interested in working with us. I work for Shine Communications, a PR firm based in London . I’m working with PS3 on the launch of LBP. In about 3 – 4 weeks time I’ll have a fan pack to send to you, posters, exclusive images, that type of thing. I was hoping to get either your postal address, though if you’re not happy giving it out then have you got a PO Box I could send this to?



Before the launch we possibly might invite you to our office to test the game so you can tell your members about it – this should be in the next couple of weeks but we’re still waiting on dates. I’ll let you know ASAP. How many members does your group have?



Thanks



Tony

should see some of the cars made on forza then must have taken ages
mind you i think they gave up deleting the offensive ones
i know forza threatned bans from live for such things how would this work on a free network surely the user can just keep on uploading the content under a new name?

One interesting addition to the reporting feature that is being implemented is that your storage space will differ according to how popular your levels are. So it would be difficult for any one user to spam lots of offensive content as their space is limited until they put out some decent stuff.
 
Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that it plans to moderate user-generated content in forthcoming PS3 exclusive LittleBigPlanet.

The news comes after TheSixthAxis reported users will be able to rate their own and each others' content, with legal action a possibility if "mature content" gets out of hand.

A Sony spokesperson has since confirmed, "We'll be moderating LittleBigPlanet's user-generated content in the same manner as we moderate all our online games. A good example of this is My SingStar."

In other words Sony will be keeping an eye out for filthy stuff, and will have the power to delete it if necessary.

Sony have said that they have two possible solutions to LBP players who create mature content (someone drawing a penis): self & community policing and the correcting power of legal action.

The first will be something similar to a user rating their own content, and then the community members who play it rating it too. If there is too much of a difference it is sent back to the author to re-rate it. The second is, like you’d expect, legal action.

However, it is fine if you create something obscene as long as you do not upload the level to the community, so you can still share it in your own circle of friends, regardless of how perverted it would be to see a cute little sackboy stood next to a penis that’s 5 times his size.

We can only assume that the mature content moderators will be called the Penispolice. That would be both cool and hilarious.

Sony wants Sackboy to be the face of PlayStation 3

SONY said:
"We want LittleBigPlanet to lead the charge into a new genre of gaming and turn Sackboy into the next emblematic character for the PS3," stated LBP marketer Mark Valledor. "We have coined 2008 'the year of the PS3', and are confident that with the launch of LittleBigPlanet we will continue to see the momentum build throughout the end of this year and on to the next ... This is a very big title for us."

Argh. I hate it when companies do stuff like this.
 
I really hope for Sony's sake this lives up to the hype, they are as guilty as anyone for building it up and are putting a huge amount of faith into it.
