Web-based LittleBigPlanet level-sharing portal coming soon

In an interview with 1UP at the Nordic Games Convention, Alex Evans revealed that a LittleBigPlanet level sharing portal will be released at some point in the near future. The portal will collect everyone's levels together, allowing players to share their levels with others by linking to an individual level page. It will also allow levels to be "queued" so that the next time you load up LittleBigPlanet, they will be displayed for easy access. Basically, the portal is going to revolutionize how you'll find levels -- and you'll never even have to touch the Search menu again.

The portal will also have its own API, allowing third-party applications to be created for the service. Both the portal and API are currently being beta tested and will be out "as soon as possible." Evans also stated that a beta test group will be set up, with a small number of fans being able to give feedback on game features before they go live. Sounds to us like there's plenty more LittleBigPlanet content and features in the pipeline. We're looking forward to them.

Now if Only SONY would Go ahead and do this for the PSN Store as well....

Good shit tho...

Another game I haven't played in a while.

Any must play creations out there?

oh yea dude....theres plenty...

Many. You just have to wade through the ridiculous number of 'W00T FREE PRIZES' levels but pretty much anything else with 4+ stars is as good or better than the developer levels.

I'm partial to this one, but I'm biased.

Hey LBP you're getting traded in for infamous! sucka!

Same here. I just can't get into LBP.

That's funny im keeping LBP but probably trading in Killzone 2 for inFamous, I just never could get used to the terrible controls in KZ2, might be time to let it go. I pretty much just play Socom or Bad Company anymore.

Yes! As soon as this goes live LBP will be back in my disc drive again. I haven't played in months because the search system (even the updated version) sucks bad. This will be awesome though! Thank YOU!!!

This is a great implementation, but yet another that should have been there since day one! LBP and the PS3 in general seems to reward the person that holds off on buying. I reckon eight months or so from now, I'd like to get a PS3.

I think it's more a case of "it has to be released sometime", especially in LBP's case. Alex Evans has said on multiple occasions that there's so much more he wanted to put into LBP, and using this model he still can.

Thats completely untrue. LittleBigPlanet was extremely well polished on it's release, and while patches did for the game what they do for all games, tweak whats already there. The good news about this is that this company is still supporting this game months and months later with stuff like this. They probably never knew the level community would get this big for the game.

Can someone explain what this means. Tell me like I'm a four year-old.

Think Bungie's Halo 3 fileshare system.

You can use your PC (or Mac) to go to a LBP website, which will list all the levels people have made. Select levels you wanna play, and next time you load up LBP the games you selected will be easily available to you without needing to search for them.

That's actually pretty rad! Thanks Hyams and Captain Planet!

Awesome. I was just thinking yesterday (after seeing the Killzone 2 stat thingy everyone was posting) that LBP could do with something like this.

Wow, LittleBigPlanet seriously is a masterpiece, as good as Metal Gear Solid 4 last year but in it's own way. Glad to hear its still being supported. I turn it on occasionally still and play new levels with my gf, its perfect for that.

this is another useful tool but i found plenty of good levels by just going through the planet, reading descriptions, find more by this author, and just searching random words.

Add automatic playthrough video uploading and fuck, I'm game.

isnt too late? anyway as long as is not censured like last time

Seems like a good idea, especially given the PS3's web-browsing capabilities.

Still no ONLINE CREATE 6 months later!

I don't care about anything else from Media Molecule until they deliver what should have been a launch feature.

This sounds awesome.

This game is still getting my play time because the user created levels keep it fresh. It is the perfect game to play with my girlfriend while we have a few drinks before hitting the bars.

Btw, there are some awesome golfing levels out there right now
