LittleBigPlanet to import images by Christmas

http://www.lbpcentral.com/images/import.jpg

Well, it looks like it's finally going to come our way. Importing images into the game without having to use the PSEye. Check it out:

Talking at GameCity in Nottingham today, Alex Evans was asked about the lack of image import in LittleBigPlanet.

The news? He confirmed that this was only pulled from the release of the game because of time constraints, and that the image import tool would be released by Christmas.

For those (many) people that were upset to hear that the PlayStation Eye was going to be the only image import option this will indeed be (completely non-religious) music to their ears.

We’ll have more news from GameCity soon, so keep checking back.

... wow. Never expected that.

:D

Can we get a Hallelujah!?

I imagine this will come with the same update as the co-op create functionality.

Oh, that's good news. I actually didn't realise until now that you couldn't import from your hard drive. Ah well, at least we know the option is coming soon.

I would've thought this would already be in the game. ._.
grr Glad to know it's gonna be in though. :D

I'm just so glad they aren't holding it back because of copyright stuff. Then there would never have been a patch. Of course they will enforce copyrighted stuff, but at least they are giving us ability to use it. This was my number one item I wanted in this game. :)

Great news lbp thanks for posting the info.

Cheers QuozL

Now THAT is pretty awesome. :p

this is brilliant:):):) now I don't have to waste money on a PS eye i'll never use except for LBP

great that is soooo good, i allready accepted that it was not going to come out, but well it is so HOOORRRAHHHH

Cheers!

woah awesome. no more using the eye to take pictures off the pc

HELL YEAH! Lol, this is good news, but to tell the truth, after having played the beta and now the full game, there is so much stuff you can do to make it all unique, I don't actually see this as necessary, but a handy and cool tool none the less :)

I am going to be upset if it doesn't support PNG transparency... but at least we'll have something =P

That's excellent.. The pictures will be so much more vivid and clearer.. Hopefully.

Wow awesome!! i thought that was just gunna get forgotten about now, but obviously not! awesome :)

Awesome.

Better textures FTW!

Even if they enforce the exact same lower res image size, at least we can import things clean without graininess and the other ill effects of using a cheap camera.

Well, here's one guy that's surprised by this. :)

Unfortunately this means that it'll require me to think about one more thing when creating levels. Importing images to levels is quite a big new dimension. Might need help from some texture artists at some point.

This will be fantastic! *Thinks of the possibilities*

It would also be good if we could import our own music/videos aswel. But that might lead to insulting or rude levels being published.

Thats pretty cool : )
