Read the LittleBigPlanet manual ... because you won't later

by Alexander Sliwinski on Sep 8th 2008 7:30PM

Considering you know you aren't actually going to look at it after buying the game, why not read the LittleBigPlanet manual now? Might actually learn something.

The 25-page manual covers all the things that it should, hopefully answering any outlying questions people might have left in the massive amounts of information released about the ambitious title. LittleBigPlanet will be available in Europe on Oct. 29 and we're still waiting for the official North American release date, but we've been told it's "October" as well.

I waaaaaaant this game.

I don't want to read the manual now, though. If I do, I fear the excitement and hype inside me will reach boiling point and I will spontaneously combust.

And I don't want to spontaneously combust.

Just read the manual for you. You can move the sackperson's arms around in-game and change their facial expressions!!!

I too want this game.

I spoke too soon. I gave into temptation and read it...

And hey, even the manual is awesome.

heh...I can't remember how many times I had to tell my little brother what the buttons do for a particular game....RTFM!!! that is all. =)

There's no splitscreen or shared screen for 2 players on 1 console is there? Christ, I like to have a buddy over to game regularly and the list of things we can play together is drying up! Why does everybody have to own their console and game and play at their own house nowadays?

You can have up to four people playing on one console. Or everyone can play on their own console. Or you can mix it up.

LBP is up to four players. You can have any combination of local (on the same console) and online multiplayer you like.

Remember when the biggest argument for consoles was that you could have everyone sit on a couch and play, and it was all social? Yeah. Whatever happened to that?

Is online play not just playing better AI with voice acting that has a lot more cursing? It doesn't beat 4 people in a room playing.

DAMMIT that sackboy is creepy T_T.

Aww his cute little soulless eyes just want to devour you.

I really like the color and creativeness of this manual. Most manuals now are boring and in black and white.

The early 90's called. They want their ugly back.

Manual isn't there anymore. =(

Over at PS3fanboy, member b'fresh made an ebook of it and offered a link.

check out the ebook i made of this:

http://www.myebook.com/index.php?option=ebook&id=1242

Its LBP vs BK+VP:TIP.

LBP wins.

;)

What's BK?

Having played some VP:TIP (I got it tonight), VP:TIP doesn't seem like it's going to shake up the world. It's nearly identical to the last one. Not surprising it scored exactly the same on Metacritic.

I was at least hoping everything was "sped up" and "smoothed out" as I read. But although things like the new pinata picker are awesome, the game still has plenty of load screens when you buy buildings or go to the encyclopedia. Odd.

Has Joystiq ever had a 'hands-on' article for LBP? Cause I haven't seen one.

No, I don't believe so. There's only been that video of them making the Joystiq logo.

Page 15, at the bottom.

...and?

Hey, someone upload that manual. They took it down. Or just send it to me via Vidikron at Gmail.

It's still up. I guess you can't see it for some reason? Maybe it's your browser, or maybe you don't have the correct version of Adobe reader? (it's a .pdf file)

Anyways, I've emailed you a copy too.

Odd. I tried several times and kept getting a default error screen from the site saying the link was invalid. But I just checked again and it's working now. Thanks for sending it anyway though!

I don't see anything about customizing you sack boy? will you be able to make you own stuff for it or will you only be able to use the objects that come in the game?

I'm pretty sure you can only pick items from a (very big) list.

if i could read this would be awesome news. literally i would gush with excitement, literally

Don't get any on the floor.

The part of this game that keeps me so excited is the potential for a huge variety of insanely difficult user generated levels... I'm a sucker for anything that makes you wanna throw the controller and cause your neighbors to call the landlords XD

Imma go look at this manual right now.. One of the best parts about buying a game back in the day... now they aren't usually necessary cause games nowadays are a giant tutorial, telling you how to play the game until you're almost done with it!

This is my most anticipated game of all time. I know I am going out on a limb here but I have a feeling this game is going to be HUGE. I know that's a radical stance.

1st Level - Death Star
2nd Level - Hello Kitty
3rd Level - Hello Death Kitty

Read it all and I can't bloody wait. Apparently the select button is used for reporting offensive content.

Also it says that they have tutorials on nearly everything in the game so that should be good.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I NOW KNOW THE CONTROLS!!

Remember, you need the PS3 eye camera in order to have customised stickers/pics! Yuo CANNOT just take images from the HDD or any other external device/s...

Not yet, anyway. But the devs have said they'll continue to support the game after release with free patches, and being able to take an image straight from the HDD is one of the things they want to patch in.

Apparently they've got to take this approach, because if they tried to stick in everything they wanted too before relase the game would never get released.

But yeah, I was dissapointing by this as well. Hopefully it won't be too long before they implement it.

Manual has stepped out.

dammit.

if anyone downloaded it they should post it somewhere and give us the link.
