 Majority of the KZ2 hype threads are baseless and sarcastic. I mean the game hasn't changed much in terms of display, yet a lot of low-level no-names have been posting topics.

Conspiracy? I think so.

P.S. I'm sorry for putting another KZ2 topic on the board. Its flooded enough

The mods aren't around, so me and a few people have been raising hell. I'm a hermit actually and laught at both consoles.

Glad to see you wont be posting for much longer.

Please note this is not some fanboyish post intended to stir some **** amongst PS3 fans or LBPfans but a look at how Sony have managed to screw one of the most important game releases so far for this generation.

Over the past few weeks since the release of LBP Sony have been moderating user-created levels without giving prior notice or reason as to why they chose to do so. The minisicule reasons apparently being patches of blood  being represented in these levels. Examples of this are the highly acclaimed "Azure Palace" and "World of Color". Not only this but Sony are deleting all levels which they feel infringe copyright. Including levels which pay homage to games like God of war and Tetris to name a few. 

Now the reason this is happening is due to the Quraanic verses controversy. Sony is not taking any chances with the game and are too afraid that the game will be offensive to anyone. Part of the blame i feel, lies with Media Molecule who failed to come up with a proper ratings system for the user-created levels.

Also one more point to note is that before the game was recalled the it carried a note above the ESRB rating stating that online levels were not rated by them, But afterwards it was removed. What this means quite obviously is that all user generated content online must be within the prescribed E-rating for it to be not moderated. Though Sony will not confirm or deny it their actions obviously speak for themselves. 

Sony's actions will greatly hamper the game and Phil Harrisons inital proclomations on game 3.0 and journalists heralding the game as the youtube of video games. Youtube does not, as far as my knowledge delete videos without the copyright holders consent. 

Really, these are the sort of issues that should have been taken into account during development. Already people who spent hours making their levels only to have them modded without any prior notice are understandedly angry and upset at Sony and Media Molecule for their handling of the situation. 

In conclusion i'll say that the game failed to achieve what it set out to do, Its motto play,create,share has become meaningless in the face of Sony's intervention in how user-generated content should be handled.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know the graphics will be top notch. There's just one thing that I have a major problem with: the gunplay mechanics...In most of the videos I have seen it looks like a spray 'n pray fest. The crosshair seems to just bounce all over the screen in hopes that bullets will hit someone. THis could be the person playing it, but still...22Toothpicks

How the hell are you allowed to have that sig?

I never said that. I live in the real world, what ifs don't fair well with me. There is no $100 PS3 game and the same game for 360 only for $60. A 10 dollar difference isn't as bad as a made up 40 dollar difference. Its a $10 difference, most of my PS360 games cost $60. This is no different from the rest. Again, nobody should be declaring ownage.WatchmenWatchUs

Whatever makes you feel better buddy :)

[QUOTE="WatchmenWatchUs"]If lems can pay for all that extra stuff for 360, they really shouldn't be declaring ownage because cows have to pay $10 more. Seriously most games this gen cost $60. The people declaring ownage must be cheap/poor if they complain about the average price for a PS360 game. If anything i'd feel more ashamed that the 360 version is on the same level as the Wii/PS2 version. You gotta wonder why. Seriously you people act like paying $10 more is worser then paying for online.WatchmenWatchUs

There isnt a big enough facepalm pic for this post.

By your logic you would be ok to pay for a 100 dollar game on the ps3 but would be ashamed to pay 60 bucks for a 360 version. WOW, just wow, thats all i can say.

[QUOTE="aflakian"]At this point, with how much Sony has invested in the project, it's simply not possible for it to outright flop.
Even if it doesn't meet/exceed all the hype and expectations, it's still going to be a quality gaming experience.
Anyone doubting at least that is fooling themselves.rumtumtugger

Yeah, $30 million don't disappear. 

Some  sources have suggested 60 million actually
