Idea Exchange - LittleBigPlanet™

Many of you has seen copied levels everywhere, especially the cool pages.

I think LBP2 should say who the original creator of the level is. That way the copier can give credit without doing anything.

This should improve the community a lot better.

Who's with me?

(Example done using HTML editing)

LBP.me is very cool, and the site features great applications, but I wondered, why not a search tool for Pins? By adding this, you can search on every pin in the game, and see who got that exact pin and how many users have been awarded a specific pin. 

I think this would a nice addition, wouldn't it be awesome to see how many users have been awarded the Rare Prize Crown? Or the Community Meet-Up Pin?

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks for reading!

LBP is a game that is supposedly suitable for players of all ages. However, moderation of the community is in decline, bullying, harassment and other undesireable behavior is on the rise and individual players (or their parents) lack the tools to protect themselves (or their children) from harm. The call for these features have been strong and frequent. Below is a proposed outline for such features.

Either LBP incorporates its own feature to block other players or it uses the blocked players data that is present in the PS3's PSN tools. The goal is to allow individual players to a) not having to be exposed to undesirable behavior of another individual player - or that player altogether, or b) limit the offending players movements within the domain of the offended player. Or both.

In case of limiting exposure to an offending player, the offended player may "block" the other player and consequently can no longer:

• write comments or reviews on offending player's profile or levels
• see offending player's comments and reviews, anywhere
• play offending player's levels
• see any activity of offending player in their own or in other players' timeline
• see any activity of other players in offending player's levels in any timeline
• join sessions in which offending player is present

In case of limiting an offending player's movements within offended player's domain, the offending player can no longer:

• write comments or reviews on offended player's profile or levels
• see offended player's comments and reviews, anywhere
• play offended player's levels
• see any activity of offended player in their own or in other players' timeline
• see any activity of other players in offended player's levels in any timeline
• join sessions in which offended player is present

Measures outlined above would extend beyond the game into official websites like LBP.me.

Welcome!

A big welcome to what for most of you is a new feature in the Official PlayStation Forums.

So what exactly is an Idea Exchange? Luckily the title is quite self-explanatory! It's a place to collate your (the community's) ideas on how to expand and improve LittleBigPlanet in a place where the developers can take on board and perhaps even implement in future outings of the LittleBigPlanet franchise.

The community team and devs can then rank an idea as 'Hot' if appropriate which will then move it under the 'Hot Ideas' tab, if the community gives 'Kudos' to an idea, then it will feature under the 'Top Ideas' tab.

All ideas submitted will appear in the 'New Ideas' tab to start as default.

Any questions, fire away and I'll do my best to answer.

Submitting a new idea, replying and grief reporting

The structure of the Idea Exchange may be a little bit different to what you are used to, so I'll run through a couple of the basics.

Submitting a new idea

Make sure you are at the top level of the idea exchange, for example, with the top level of the LittleBigPlanet Idea Exchange the navigation bar will look like this:

At this level, the following button is available, by clicking this you should see the familiar post entry editor you are used to..

Replying to an Idea

You can only reply to an idea at the post level, you can get there easily by clicking the text marked 'Post a Comment' (see example below)

Grief Reporting

 If you stumble across an idea that breaks the house rules, you can grief report it at the idea level (see Replying to an Idea).

On the offending post, select the 'Topic Options' Menu and select 'Report Inappropriate Content' option as highlighted below.

"Stickers" are cool but they take up "space" and limit you to customization. How easy would it be to have a simple color variety options you add to nearly everything? An easy way to "paint" your items you make instead on taking up precious space with "stickers". This could be applicable to hair, clothing items, some stickers, materials, and any item you make in create. Why not? Everything else is so customizable..."stickers" now seem a little repatitive and "stone age" in create mode.

Here is an example in LBP Karting that finally sent me over the edge on this issue...

    I set out to make a Candy Land level for my son! It's one of our favourite games to play together! Except that i tried to "sticker" the track to get the classic multicolor spaces (like the board game) and by the time i was done recoloring the track, the meter was full! This was a consistent frustration with the first two LBP's as well...if stickers take up so much "room", then their should be an alternate way to "paint" things in the franchise. Seriously, i wouldn't think that would be hard to add...you can customize EVERYTHING else! Why do you have to rely on a sticker as your only for or colorful customization? It is very tedious...a simple "paint brush" to guide along the track to change the colors really isn't a difficult concept if you saw everything else you can do with this game.

    Adding this feature to every clothing item and kart would be so awesome...no more counting down the hours spent just trying to change the color of your person or an item (NO EXAGGERATION-if you add up how long in any LBP i have had to tediously "sticker" my character, costume or other items in create mode-just for a simple color change-it would be HOURS). Trust me, it adds up-especially if you are a perfectionist. I KNOW i'm not the only person with this qualm...

Let me say, i absolutely LOVE Little Big Planet...i really do...

However LBP Karting has really disappointed me...

I'm really starting to miss Media Molecule's precision and support for what they put out there...

if UFG does LBP 3, I might not get it...and i have preordered the other 2 LBP games. I wish i would have borrowed this game from my brother instead of buying it...

   Someone, please fix this game!!! it could be so so good! As of right now, i've had it for 2 days, i would NOT recommend buying it...unless you are okay with a short story mode and a create mode full of disappointments. Small fixes would make this game AMAZING!

Alright so I always thought it would be a nice feature if we could sticker our pod controller. Those who have a white, red, blue, pink or whatever they have in real life could have a matching one as their pod controller 

Or (possibly) they could be released along with DLC packs (maybe some freebies too ) for higher quality controller skins and could even mimmick real limited edition controllers' designs when/if DLC for the game the controller is based on is made into LBP DLC.

-Remade this idea from my GetSatisfaction idea.

1.Many complain but keep the controls; they are part of Little Big Planet

2.Give access to some sample levels in create mode so that would be creators can see how the developers make certain contraptions possible

3.I don't know if this possible but I think it'd be cool, let people create custom outfits on LBP.me and pay a nominal fee to use them in game

Those are my ideas, hope you like them 

after a taste in LBPK, I gotta say 3D create

so i was playing my psvita the other day when i had a great dlc idea, it involves putting the old levels ito the newer games as in dlc. for example: lbp psvita would get lbp psp story levels+minigames while lbp2 would get lbp story levels+minigames. I know what you might be thinking...'but wouldnt that make ppl stop buying the older games?' Well...yeah but it would give creators the expierience of playing the older games while giving them more decorations,stickers,costumes and mateeial to work with. and this dlc would be more expensives because it would feature way more than just 10 levels (30-40$)?? so let me know what you think and if anyone out there happens to know the following can you plz include this info... will the lbpvita version ever have the paintonator, attracto-gel and ect?

Having had an incredibly hard time creating things like RTSes, I believe a Pathfinder Mover would be a great addition!

Think of it like an advanced version of the Follower Mover. It would require slightly more thermo, however it would intelligently navigate around or over materials located on the same layer as itself, to reach it's target player or Tag, instead of simply heading straight towards it's destination.

So I Had A Great Idea Where The Creator Could Use Player Ones Costume But Change The Outfit Or Hat/Hair  

I just tweeted Syroc about how the Knights of Old stickers have been double duplicated in my pop-it due to having Gold pre-order pack and paying extra to get the Silver. He suggested posting here to recommend a "Hide Pop-It Content" feature. Fumetsusozo also suggested that players should be able to delete their unwanted pop-it items and always have the option to add them back in at any time by re-installing the DLC from the store.

So...how about it?

If you can disable comments and reviews via lbp.me, why not LBP 2 as well?

On the comments/reviews section of the level/profile you want to disable, there should be a switch at the top with On/Off buttons.

Right now, you need to run to your PC or start the PS3 browser and disable comments/reviews.

Who's with me!

OK so you make a brilliant level and then you publish it. Then it gets played by thousands of people!

Then they leave reviews. But what would happen if there are 500+ reviews and many of them you haven't read?

The problem is that it's sorted by Top Rated. That means that for New Reviews, you mostly have to scroll all the way down to find the new review, which is really annoying.

What I suggest, in the Reviews section, you put a Sort to choose between Top Rated or Newest. This also makes it easier to delete reviews that are negative.

If you put this, browsing through reviews will be WAY easier!

What do you think about this idea?

Hey i was wondering but is there any chance of getting some Kingdom Hearts costumes on the store? With Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix coming in a few months, i think it would be cool to get some costumes and also i think it would be cool because with have Final Fantasy costumes and costumes from Disney things like The Muppets etc.

Also i also think it would be cool to have a PS All-Stars costume packs and maybe a PS All-Stars story and level kit so it could give PS All-Stars some story and show how Sackboy gets himself mixed into the whole thing. For the PS All-Stars costume kits it could have updated costumes for characters we already got like Jak could get his Jak 3 & Jak X design and Ratchet could get his Tools of Destruction costume along with his Commando costume and A Crack in Time costume. It would be cool to get some LBP costumes of characters like PaRappa,Sir Dan,Raiden etc.

Also my last idea would be Sly Cooper Thieves in Time costume packs and a Story and Level kit. For example there could be 3 costume packs. The first could be called The Cooper Gang pack which comes with updated costumes for Sly & Bentley, a Murray costume, a Carmelita costume, and a Dimitri costume. The second pack could be called The Ancestor pack which comes with costumes of the 5 Cooper ancestors in Sly Cooper Thieves in Time. Then the last pack could be called the villain pack which has costumes of El Jefe, Toothpick, The Grizz, The Black Knight (and the person inside the armor), Ms.Desibel, and Le Paradox. Anyway tell me what you guys think please

Hello LBP, i'd like to say there is a big problem with the "Cut Tool" everytime My friends or I are using this tool, we eventually feeze after maybe 8 or 9 cuts and this is ridiculous i have had it, i put up with it for about a week and a half, of freezing, reseting my PS3 over and over again, and im really ***** off because i loved the tool, but after the new update for some reason the game is screwed up, can you please honestly fix this Mm?! My friends and I have had it and im pretty sure this isnt just happening with me and my other friends, im almost positive its happening else where you guys really need to improve this tool, i love the game and have nothing against it but this problem with the tool is bugging me. and friends im almost sure other people as well... Thank you for taking your time to read this comment, i also would like to add, maybe jjust maybe you guys could do an update with more layers or something, to have a cool 5,6,7,8,9, maybe even 10 layers, that your Sack can move on would be absolutley fantastic and more thermomiter space for everybody oh my goodness this would be absolutley fantastic please maybe take some of this into consideration thanks for listening/reading my comment You guys would be even more awesome ifyou could make these things possible

Let me start off by saying, i absolutely LOVE Little Big Planet...i really do...

However LBP Karting has really disappointed me...

I'm really starting to miss Media Molecule's precision and support for what they put out there...

if UFG does LBP 3, I might not get it...and i have preordered the other 2 LBP games. I wish i would have borrowed this game from my brother instead of buying it...

There are a plethora of things that need patched...a simple search of forums will tell you things like CONSTANT freezing in create mode is troubling nearly everyone.

Here are some things that i think need patched that i haven't seen anyone mention so far...

    There are so many frustrations with this game, considering the potential is SO SO HIGH!  It has so many short comings that need fixing.

    Originally i bought this game to play with my son and fiance at home...except you can't sign in to multiple accounts with it...makes playing offline kind of pointless-but i don't care to play online! So even in the short story mode, my son or fiance can't collect goodies if i am. You can only sign in to ONE profile at a time!!! why???

    Also unlike the LBP franchise, you can only have two couch players at a time...so all 3 of us still can't even play together. Pretty lame.

    Also, i set out to make a Candy Land level for my son! It's one of our favourite games to play together! Except that i tried to "sticker" the track to get the classic multicolor spaces (like the board game) and by the time i was done recoloring the track, the meter was full! This was a consistent frustration with the first two LBP's as well...if stickers take up so much "room", then their should be an alternate way to "paint" things in the franchise. Seriously, i wouldn't think that would be hard to add...you can customize EVERYTHING else! Why do you have to rely on a sticker as your only for or colorful customization?

Trust me, it adds up-especially if you are a perfectionist. I KNOW i'm not the only person with this qualm...

    Also, why are the "materials" for terrain so limited? There are dozens of "materials" available to make anything you'd like...you can't just make that a possibility for the terrain too?

   Someone, please fix this game!!! it could be so so good! As of right now, i've had it for 2 days, i would NOT recommend buying it...unless you are okay with a short story mode and a create mode full of disappointments. Small fixes would make this game AMAZING!
