Pass, from what I understand all USB cameras work for video chat/XMB and it is up to games developers which cameras work in which games (Although the PS Eye seems to work in all games, as does Eyetoy by sounds of it). I only own the PS Eye so have no idea on others apart from I have read.

Nope, getting photos out of LBP seems fraught as well. I took a picture and tried to send it to a friend but it attaches itself to a message as game data.

That is normal. In any of the game modes, press "Start" and goto "LBP Messages" This scans your "inbox" for any messages with LBP "Game Data" attached and coverts them into appropriate photos/custom objects and adds them to your popit.

Send me your picture and I can see if it works if you want, I have used this method to get and give custom objects, stickers must work the same way.

The PS2 eyetoy works, however the PS3 doesn't let you change image settings, so the iamges taken with the camera are often quite dark and look bad.


Maaan I just came back from a mammoth editing session :eek: Some 6 hours and all I did was about 5 minutes of gameplay. I am getting more used to the tools though, so I should have my level finished by the end of the week :) I am including many different gameplay elements as well.

Is there any way to test my level with online friends without publishing it?

No I was trying to send the "photo" to someone without LBP thinking it would just send it as a conventional image format of some kind, but of course it won't.
Probably a good thing anyway, they would think I was taunting them.....
 
is LBP out yet then?

And can you play multiplayer on one ps3?

(sorry little time to read thread right now)
 
Beta is out; game will be released on October 24th.
You can play levels and also create levels multiplayer on a single PS3 :)

There seem to be conflicting stories on whether or not beta levels will work on final game though.

Been having a mess about again and managed to do a kinda gun fight level. It has two "Cowboys" with an arm on a motor you can adjust the aim for the gun then run down its arm and pull the trigger to fire. The object is to destroy a little hut thing with a switch in, but if you blow up the other the player in his cowboy, then you can steal all the prizes yourself! Its only a WIP but it works (just), cant find away for sack boys to spawn at different points ( i dont think you can?) would make it a bit easier.
 
Played it when i first got it downloaded for about 10 minutes and thought it was nothing special. But when i was able to play user created levels it got soooo much better. Really is were its at with this game.

Played a WipeOut level earlier. Very fast level but it was fun and very funny watching your sack guy holding on to the rocket powered vehicle for dear life! :D
 
Time for a reality check. What are people's opinions of this (those that have got the beta). Is it going to have long-lasting appeal? Is it a system seller?

I gave my opinion earlier and after more time playing with it, i would say it has improved. Some of the levels made after a few days without all the tools are fantastic, some are poop, but thats always the same for anything with UGC. Lasting appeal i would guess is down to the person playing, if you dont want to play the UGC or the creator, then it will be far shorter than those that do. Ive heard that the story and levels are as good as SMB, but with only playing 4 levels i cant tell, but the ones in the beta are still fun and the last one gives you an idea of how the levels will be. This game could be a system seller, depends on the marketing, it will deserve every 10/10 it gets, and if theres a game that should sell millions on gameplay (not hype) alone it should be this one.

Got to agree, the user created levels have come on a lot, at first it was all CANNON HURR HURR and ROCKET SLED HEE HEE levels, but have been increasingly impressed with what people are coming up with.
 
As stated above it's always going to be a mixture of utter **** and great stuff when it comes to UGC, just look at Youtube - for every memorable vid there's a thousand ones of someone unboxing something.

Hopefully the rating system will be good enough that you can filter out ones that are universally hated.
 
Whoops, wrong thread!

Well best make a post:

I'm trying to find a beta key :( I think a few are going out today from various sources but probably at like 2am (suppose that's tomorrow then).
