LittleBigPlanet Getting Web-Based Online Level Portal
Posted on 22. May, 2009 by Freak_c in Games, News
The great thing about LittleBigPlanet is the user levels that have been created. But there is a slight down fall, the only way you will know about the levels or even the only way to promote your own level is to login to LBP on your PS3. But thats about to change thanks to Media Molecule.
Media Molecule will soon launch a web-based portal for LittleBigPlanet that allows players to advertise their created levels, queue up downloads and get them prepared for the next time they launch the game.
Alex Evans, Media Molecule co-founder, told 1UP that the service will provide custom URLs for each user created level, allowing players to send or advertise their levels online. This feature will provide user page links for each created level, giving players a chance to queue a download of the level, which will be ready the next time they turn on their PlayStation 3.
Currently in beta, the portal offers more than just leaderboards, photos, and comments. It will also have an application programming interface (API), to create applications for LBP. Evans says APIs for websites like Google Maps is not far off from what Media Molecule plans to achieve. The LBP API will allow players to create a Google Map page, detailing the locations of levels on Craft Earth.
Evans also talks about the upcoming PlayStation Portable version of LBP, new and ongoing beta tests, more downloadable content for PS3, and a reference to a possible sequel. News Source.
