Gone to a regulard.

chrissy – Sorry

pj – I’m like a child at Christmas

why on earth wont it work
does anyone have any useful tips pleasseeeeeeeeeeeee?

I have been trying constantly to get back in and nada.
It’s dead as a doornail. If you are not already registered forget it you will never get past the registration.

im registered and logged in it just wont show the actual page with the button to press to get the beta key :(
im so frustrated at the moment :@:L:L

I’ve played it. It’s ok.

I only got as far as the first level, there’s a lot of introductions. Seems very promising.

I don’t have the time to use my key today, but once it’s downloaded, can it be played offline?

48%…

Gah. What a time to be late home from work ‘cos of a meeting

Looks like EG’s going to be down all night and I’ll never get a key now. Boo.

Just added an update: EG tech chap just told me there are about 1,000 keys left now.

omgggggg ive got one praise the lorddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd :):):):):):):):):):):):):)
it better be worth it, im presuming it is for now though

woohoo!

There are 1245 left, says EG tech man.

1179 now – managed to get one.

Guess that’s this evening’s entertainment sorted once I’ve given my son his last feed.

Nice

70%

*glares at TV*

Testament to just how poor EG’s servers are that these keys could still be there after this amount of time.

Replace the hamster you numpties.

Yup. I got here at 5:38 and couldn’t get on EG, so assumed I’d missed out on it. I’m sure all the keys would have been gone had everything held together perfectly.

Although it’s quite funny to see people on GameFAQs complaining that they can’t register for EG because it’s so slow.

EG is surely going to have to do something about these beta giveaways though. EG will probably be out all night now.

I like it alot.
Steven Fry seems to go well with this kinda jiggery pokery

Ja, it’s certainly an “issue”.

Download speed on the client’s slowed to a crawl now.

You’d think EG generated no income seeing as they seem to be running on a K6 with 128MB of RAM…

Lol

god bless gremmi’s “oh fuck post” otherwise my 3 buddies wouldn’t have gotten it =]

Stupid thing is it will probably be down now for the rest of the night … and tomorrow it will be nothing but … pleeze giv me a ky.

EG tech man says all keys are gone. Just filmed the first 15 minutes of play. Will sort now.

Playing the beta is an invite to get bombarded with messages from courious friends lol.
I’m likeing it up to now, alot of tutorials in the creators.

Is the game good anyone

i have an extra home beta code im willing 2 trade 4 extra LBP code

my PSN is Maioran add me if interested

Oh, ffs. I’m at work all day and come home to this. What’s the f@*£ing point of that – posting beta keys at 5 in the afternoon? Wtf?

Little big annoyed.

maioran. how do i contact you?

lol… EG completely offline now.

Probably just trying to get the message through that the codes have all gone. As long as the site is failing to load, people will keep coming.

ps3 fans kill eurogamer shocker

Played extensively now. It’s “alright”. Can’t see myself playing for hours upon hours, but then it’s only a small portion of the game.

Movie’s going to be up in about an hour, I reckon. It’s pretty big.

Made a friend to come over to my place to test the offline multiplayer. Was really great fun, much better than playing it on your own or online.
Seems pretty good so far, don’t know how long it will last and how much more there is in the full game. I think I will pick it up on launch.

One thing that’s really annoying is if you have Blu Ray remote, the game keeps on asking you to sign it in.

So I have to sackboys but I only want one.

i didn’t get one

The beta is huge, according to someone on GameFAQs.

Well before I out pen to paper I’ll have to finish it, although I’m already feeling like I’ll have to push myself. Shame I couldn’t create a level.

can’t you just hold down the ps button on the remote and turn it off like a normal controller?

Ah ha!!!!

Top man Dr Damn!!

/is an idiot

Well, that one minor annoyance out the way.

EGs back, although it’s not registering my posts.

Same here. They’ll probably appear though, so don’t submit them 20 times.

heh.

So what do you reckon so far ecu? Will this the system-seller mega-game that it’s billed to be? Has your excitement been justified?

Well, you asked for this. /essay mode

I’ve only played the tutorial and the first level. Seems very good, the platforming is nice and responsive, I got straight in to it and found it all very intuitive. I’ll try and play a bit more tonight, and I wouldn’t mind giving the multiplayer a go, but I don’t have a headset or keyboard so I reckon it’d be a bit shit.

A particular highlight for me is the various levels of mood that you can set for your sackboy, and nice touches such as holding X when you restart, the sackboy sort of strains and then zips off. It’s very polished, I like it. Nice subtle use of the motion controls too.

It’s still way too early to say if it’s lived up to the hype. It’s not like a big action game, where you can tell from the explosive, action packed first level whether the game is up to scratch or not. This is evidently going to be a grower, and you’ll get more out of it, the more you put in. I can’t see it being the type of game I’ll play for hours on end every night until it’s done, but it’ll be more of the ‘stick in and play for an hour’ every now and again. There WILL be some truly brilliant levels in this game, I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.

Sales? I don’t normally like to be drawn on sales, I’m not Psychotext. Sales of new IP’s are extremely hard to predict, but given the money Sony are ploughing in to promoting this, it could be huge. It won’t get your average Wii owner interested in PS3, the machine is still to expensive for this, but it might push a few regular gamers over the edge. Alright I’m done. Sorry.

I find it strange you find it so responsive. People I’ve spoken to have complained of the lack of responsiveness and how clunky and jerky it feels. Also, the whole moving to the foreground and background is again, unresponsive and doesn’t seem to work. And I agree with them. In fact, that’s my main complaint.

Sackboy’s cute. The pre-made levels are nice, but I’m gonna need a lot more.
