Should Sony ditch all LBP beta content? You decide

In an update on the official PlayStation forums, Sony is giving you the choice as to whether the user created content in the LittleBigPlanet beta should be carried over and made playable when the full game is released on October 24.

Here’s the notice in full:

With the LittleBigPlanet beta coming to a close on October 12th at 23:59 GMT, we’ll be getting everything ready for the launch of the game.

As many of you are doubtless aware, at present we are not planning to make shared creations from the beta test available in the full version of the game, however we’re aware that a lot of time and effort has been put into what you’ve created so far.

With this in mind we’re going to give you the choice! Whether you took part in the LittleBigPlanet beta test or not your opinion counts – would you rather that created levels and items from the beta test were available when the game launches, or would you rather we removed everything and the shared side of the game started from scratch? Vote before Monday October 13th, and we’ll go with whichever option receives more votes!

Please bear in mind that what we’re talking about here are levels that have been uploaded already, any save game data, offline creations or progress cannot be transferred into the full game.

So get voting. Now.

    Yes, delete all the shitty rocket and generic race levels, but keep the 50 good levels.

    And Operation Sackeater if that is not in the top 50. :o )

    But surely all those levels will just come back once the game’s out. Better to leave them in and encourage people to try something else.

  3. Syrok said:

    True. A better rating system would be a good idea, too. Or one that works.

    Only a total nobber when put forward an outright no to this. It’s not hurting anyone, and it would be a shame to lose a lot of the effort that’s been put in already.
