Very light on details, this one. We just wanted to give you all notice that “Spaff” from Media Molecule has posted on their blog that the LittleBigPlanet 2 beta is on its way.
There are absolutely no details as yet, other than the fact that those in the MM beta group will automatically be involved and there will be a chance for many others to get in too. Our advice is to keep an eye on the goings on at Media Molecule and hope you get lucky and get in when they announce the criteria and method of getting involved.
The beta for the first LittleBigPlanet is what inspired me to buy it (and recommend everyone else does) so here’s hoping that the second game’s beta is just as successful in not only ironing out the bugs but getting out the message.

Really can’t wait for this game, its probably my second most looked forward to title for this year! :D

I remember putting a silly amount of effort into getting into the LBP Beta, and ended up with 7 codes!
I haven’t played LBP in a fair bit (a year), but it was so laggy with anything more than two people, has that been improved on or should I wait for LBP2?
cc_star
nope still lags like a mutha
Its because of the shear amount of customisation and data upload/download that causes

There’s the occasional huge lag spike no matter how many play. 2P is generally OK, though. 3 and 4 have some more noticeable lag.
Specifically, it’s when there are large physics objects moving, because for LBP to work, that kind of thing really needs to work in sync with all players. It’s not like in, say, Bad Company 2 where a building collapse is scripted, or where corpse ragdoll physics can be handled locally. It all needs to be identical for all players or it wont work.
Can’t wait for LBP2 to come along, beta or no. I just want it…. Preferably now. :)

Sounds good to me. Hope that I can get in though.

Sorry mate, I was given your tip but Peter had already found it by himself! Thanks for it though.

For the official Sony Beta testers, keep an eye on the forum. It’s coming soon, along with dead nation beta.

Wish I was an official Sony Beta tester :(
How did one become one?

E-Mail me your name, age, D.O.B, address and your mothers maiden name

I was invited by someone. How they got in I don’t know.

You do realise you’re not supposed to be disclosing which beta’s are currently underway. If people with official beta status can’t be bothered to check the necessary forums they deserve to lose their badge.
Dazbobaby
There are no beta’s underway, and until the codes arrive, I won’t hold my breath.
Divine
You appear to be missing the point…
You agreed to an NDA when you became a beta tester, by posting on public blogs/news sites which beta’s are due to be tested, whether currently or in the near future, you are breaking that NDA.

I’m guessing its for Plus subscribers but then I could be wrong.
Grey_Ghost13
Thats what I’m hoping for, one of the main reasons I subscribed.

Im a LBP BETA tester :) and have been invited to all the versions so far. Fingers crossed I’ll be in this one.

I remember when everyone was desperately trying to get a beta code for LBP. I was very lucky to get one of the few codes from the German Eurogamer site. For once I was at the right place at the right time there :)
I also got all of the create trophies within one week after (the delayed) release of LBP due to one of the levels I created in the beta (A boy and his cube) :)
I’d really love to get in the LBP2 beta too (already got some nice ideas for a level), but I don’t have much hope. Except for if that yellow plus sign next to my PSN name is worth something, that woud be awsome!

PS+ members should get access to this and also the Killzone 3 one too.
