LBP: JPG Importing Redux

Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 8:26 am

News

We said yesterday that there were no current plans to implement JPG image importing into LittleBigPlanet.  This appears to be the PR line, so that’s the line we’re sticking to - as far as we’re concerned, there’s been nothing officially announced and it appears SCEE are happy enough to keep it that way.  However, that doesn’t stop Media Molecule sneaking out little photos like this:

So, yes, it’s coming.  We all know it’s coming.  When?  Well, that’s not for anyone but Sony to announce, in our opinion.  Regardless, stay tuned for something rather cool and LittleBigPlanet related in just 30 minutes.

    You’re on fire today.

    Good to see someone paying attention, I’m still technically asleep after pulling an all nighter to see the results come in and America to elect it’s first black president.

    Back to topic: Yes, if true, this is a most logical feature - save ppl from just going out to buy the eye toy!

    colossalblue Says:

    But patch it late into the game so a lot of people have already bought the eye toy and kept Sony happy?

    According to Alex Evans at GameCity on Saturday, it was all about time.

    Unfortunately, they did not have the time to complete the code prior to the launch date and so it will be released as a patch prior to Christmas.

    (what follows is my take - not taken from presentation…)

    If you have a feature that works - Eye import, an almost identical feature that doesn’t - JPG import and a whole bunch of other requirements to sort out prior to launch then the JPG import is going to be put down the list of priorities.

    The fact that Sony will do welll out of the need for the Eye is no bad thing really. If this means that more Eyes are bought this gives them a larger base to develop against and hopefully we will see some really cool stuff develop for it.

    One of the other presentations was about the EyeToy (PS2) and the fact that there are about 11 million units in the EU - this means that they are still developing for it - Pom Pom Party and Hero are due out soon.

    (Just a developers take on this…) and really looking forward to trying out LBP that finally arrived today :) although clashes badly with Orange Wednesday to see Bond :(

    Of course it was. We’re just setting the story straight because obviously people are jumping to conclusions and it’s clear what the PR take on the whole thing has to be.
