I dunno, you pay £40 and you’d expect at least a 3/4 finished game. Even Fallout 3 wasn’t this bad.
All joking aside, Mm are once again enforcing the evolving structure planned for everyone’s favorite user generated pioneer. Speaking at GDC Mark Healey says they still feel they’re “halfway through the development of LittleBigPlanet. I claim that LittleBigPlanet is potentially a game creation package, which isn’t finished if you like.”
The key words there are ”game creation,” not level creation. It seems the ongoing development of LBP has been focused towards the ambitious goal making entire games possibly even with levels contained inside. Whilst this is already possible to a certain degree expect future content to be more in tune with this, such as additions to the overall structure and new tools that open up the creation in brand new ways. It seems like the first real addition to LBP, the Paintinator was merely testing the water and we should expect similar additions to the tool set throughout the year.
The next update to emphasize this direction is ‘Cornish Yarg’ the details of which are due to be officially announced at some point today. Watch this space and we’ll update accordingly.

Creating a whole game?
Just how the fuck do you get a bit a sponge to stick to some string?

Don't call him Kevatron400.

Haha!
Interesting concept though, wonder if they deliver accordingly.

While I understand the whole ‘unfinished’ as a game creation thing, I think stuff like the ‘paintinator’ and the others ‘coming soon’, should be free DLC imo, charge me for the themed levels (like the MGS stuff), by all means but I gave you £40, MM.. I feel that entitles me to all the creation tools, not just the ones you supplied with the disk.

I got nothing against new download content, however: I do have something against content that should have launched wit the game (paid content) Resident evil comes to mind.
I wonder how much money Mm and Sony made with all the LBP downloadable content?

From ‘entitled’ to ‘nice gesture’? You backtrack quicker than the FIA
