Just made me pause for thought - a Lemmings Level Designer would be awesome, I don’t think they’ve ever gotten around to releasing more levels for it or have they?

Roll on player created content in LBP!

“Elefunk” has over 20 levels where you are tasked with building structures with materials (made of rope, wood, and/or metal) across ravines, rivers, fire pits, swamps, and so on, to ‘rescue’ the elephants.

The game modes on offer (initially) are:
“Puzzle” (with a limited amount of materials available),
“Time Attack”, and
“Challenge” (or “Multiplayer Deconstruction” where pieces are removed like Jenga/Kerplunk [ker-trunk? ;)] without causing a structure to fall).

Bonus games are also promised where you can jump canyons with an elephant on a motorbike!?!

I have not heard of a “freeform” build objective, as yes, I am sure you are correct in that this would be very close to the expected game-play of “LittleBigPlanet” & Sony would not have sanctioned a release of a similar nature.

That’s not to say that future updates will not be offered in this respect, though.

Online leaderboards are supported to complement the online & offline gaming, but no trophy support (as yet).

BFN,

fp.

any idea if there’s going to be an editing facility available or are is that encroaching on LBPlanet’s domain too much?

Crikey! Understatement Of The Year Award to Apnomis!!

Sony’s been ripping off PAL region since the (late) launch price of the damn thing!

The latest con? Try the DualShock3 UK RRP price for size versus US/Jap prices!!!

Over & Out.

Please take note that users on your “semi-official” blog are currently in the process of realising that they’re being shafted out of demo’s of “purchase-and-download” games. It should be of concern to you, my dear friend SCEE, that no-one can fathom reasoning as to why the other PSN regions are afforded the pleasure of PSN game demo’s, when we, the ever loyal PAL region PSN are shunned.
If you deem it acceptable that the users download the demo’s from other regions (with fake accounts that technically break the end-user agreements), and in your opinion this should continue, then please have the sense to unify all PSN regions under one server, so each region can have access to all of the content without having to log into a different PSN account.

Sorry, yes, I have just been back to check, and I downloaded the (60Mb) US Demo of “PixelJunk™ Monsters” on 22 February this year.

In that case, I take your point entirely; the European Store is indeed lacking yet another item.

“PixelJunk™ Racers Demo (Playable Demo)” I downloaded from the US Store on 21 September 2007, “Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Demo” a day later , & “Toy Home™ Demo (Playable Demo)” on 16 November.

“Echochrome” came down from the Japanese Store on 7 March 2008.

I didn’t realise these items were (also) not available in Europe.

…

Does anybody know if these playable demo versions are available in any other region?

BFN,

fp.

thats the point I only bought them because I got a chance to try them…

If I was a PAL “only” user I would never had an option, why are we be denied access to demos??

Also is the only way to access downloaded user content on echochrome is randomly in freeform mode?
Not atelier then portfolio, is this another way SCEE is laughing at us….
