LittleBIGPlanet: No 4 Player Co-Op, Just not yet

Last Updated on Monday, 22 September 2008 10:01 Written by ProClub Monday, 22 September 2008 10:01

Remember when you first heard about LittleBIGPlanet having four player co-op and you can run around with your friends having fun? Well do you also remember when it was announced that with your four friends you are able to create level online? Well that has been scrapped till the first major update which I hope is released quickly after launch. Don’t worry, you will still be able to create with four friends offline if you wanted to. More after the jump!

Sam_Protagonist:

This is correct.

The ability to create with your friends online will come as part of the first major update after the game is released. Offline creating with up to 4 people on one PlayStation 3 however is available right from the get go.

Just to clarify what this means for the game, here’s a few more FAQs -

Is online create in the game from launch?
No it’s not, however it will be included in the first game update after launch. We’re working on making this available as quickly as possible, but want to make sure it’s right before releasing it.

What does online create actually mean?
Online create, quite simply, is the ability to use the create side of the game in an online multiplayer fashion.

So I can still share my levels?
Absolutely. All of the sharing features of the game are up and running.

And I can still play multiplayer?
Yes, both online and offline multiplayer (or any combination of the two) for playing through the story, or any downloaded levels.

And I can still create levels with my friends offline?
Totally. Up to 4 players can work together on a single PS3 to create levels. Also, you can still work collaboratively with friends to build levels by exchanging them through the share portion of the game.

From my perspective, which you can take or leave, it is well worth getting some practise in with the create side of the game before trying to use it in a multiplayer fashion as it can be somewhat frustrating to get things done if everyone you’re working with is still getting used to all the functions. While it’s not ideal to have to wait for this feature to be released, it might actually be beneficial to creators until it happens as you’ll be able to work out the tools entirely, and figure out how best to work with others on your projects.
