Talk Playstation 3 News

On the forum of LittleBigWorkshop a member told the community that he received an email from Sony requesting him to stop posting any more content related to Marvel. It seems he violated the copyright policy on which Marvel gladly complained about to Sony.

The content that triggered this he concluded, was probably his “SackThing” inspiration. After some further investigation he found out that other related custom Marvel costumes were also removed.

With this news spreading fast, some sites were quick to draw to conclusion that this might indicate that Marvel might have an official pack coming out.

In user-generated content that is acccording to Michael Denny.

Although we’ve had the success in the social genre we want to move that on as well, like finding new experiences with LittleBigPlanet and user-generated content. In the console field that’s an area we can rightly claim leadership to now. We want to look at more areas of that

LittleBigPlanet has almost 180,000 user created levels. Buzz players have created over 100,000 quizzes for the game. So is definitely in the right area at the moment, but the question remains how long with it last.

But Sony is hopeful that Home will continue this great and bring it to a another level, far ahead of Nintendo and Microsoft.

You can land a job at Media Molecule, by making some awesome levels in their upcoming game Little Big Planet. The developers will watch what users are creating very closely, and recruit community designers to work as a development team.

Smith went on to explain the potential for a number of users to be “commissioned” to work on levels. “I think if we were gonna do that we’d rather get the top ten guys and commission them to make some amazing stuff for us,” he told us at the Leipzig Games Convention last month. 

And you might even land a job on the team. “But we’ll be watching it closely, because it’ll be a great way for us to recruit great new designers,” said Smith.

This game just keeps getting better and better.

Pete Smith also talked about users being able to charge for their content. 

“If a user becomes known as being great at making levels, I can’t say we wouldn’t but I don’t think we’d want to take his level and then charge people for it, because it’s free – that’s the whole premise of the game.”

He added: “However, we will be aware of who those awesome designers are and certainly there’s the potential to get them building levels as part of the dev team.”

This is a great opportunity for those of you out there that want to venture out into the gaming world.
