Register for LBP Karting Beta

[Shadowriver]

One of the factors was DLC? I didnt know that, where did you hear that?

Rumor spreader from Sony: *Hint hint* One of criteria is number of DLC you have...... BUY DLCz NAAAOOOOO!!!

[DominationMags]

Entered. Hope I make this one

In LBP2 beta picking it was. Not sure if it applies here.

Of course, that was when there was no sign-up and they were picking people precisely. I could be wrong...-ish.

but Spaff told us the conditions for lbp2's beta:

you got an invite if you had been involved with the online create or water betas
you got an invite if you had logged a large amount of time playing lbp (as they record that stuff)
and towards the end you had an increased chance to join if you were ps+

Having DLC was never a criteria... they wouldn't discriminate between testers based on income.

I'd link you to the statement (... well post) but it was lost when that beta forum closed.

Anyway it's irrelevant as it's a totally different developer who will have their own system for choosing testers.

It doesn't have to be about income. It could be about testing backwards compatibility.

For the record, I have no inside information or anything. Just saying.

[DaSackBoy]

Same here, that's really just from raw memory. Not anything legit. I'm just saying that was one of the things that was mentioned from somebody (I don't know who) about the LBP2 beta. I'm not trying to stir up any conspiracy or anything.

All I want to know is the time of the beta codes release, really hoping I get in this thing.

[xtremesackboy]

So excited! I hope all of you get in!

Attention: the EU sign ups have been closed. The EU beta will start soon, and the NA sign ups will probably close tomorrow. Just a guess

[LBPfan92]

Just a logical guess... The LBP Karting beta we'll get is essentially the same build that was played at the GameJam, right?

[The_Lil_JoKeR]

So if the beta sing ups are closeing then does that mean it well star soon? and how many ppl are they letting be apart of this beta? i assum only a couple .__. and i also heard that they are going by how much time you spend playing lbp so is that right?

[Schark94]

And you really think they're just sitting in there and choosing the most active players from thousands of people? Gais, it's sure that they use a computer to choose everyone randomly.

[DominationMags]

And you really think they're just sitting in there and choosing the most active players from thousands of people? Gais, it's sure that they use a computer to choose everyone randomly.

Then why would they have you fill out the poll:

Have you played Modnation Racers?
Have you played Modnation Racers: Road Trip?
Have you played LittleBigPlanet?
Have you played LittleBigPlanet 2?

If its that random, they wouldn't have had this poll. This poll has to have something to do with the selection.

[Nick930930]

Lol to the person saying they don't discriminate based on income. They do not CARE. They are going to find players who know the game best and play it the most. People who have lots of LittleBigPlanet games, have many hours logged in, actively participating ingame, and have records of purchased DLC showing increased interest in the game.

THATS what they look for. Simple as that. If I were a developer, i would want to make sure my testers knew what they wanted in the game rather than having some slackjawed kid who played like 2 levels in the first game and published a bomb survival level that was made copy free.

And they do base it off of hours logged in, but I agree, it's just a computer program that chooses from the players that fullfill the most recommended requirements for whatever they feel will help give them the most accurate results.


Both me and my little brother Dan930930 signed up for the LBPV beta at the exact same time. We both have the same amount of games AND dlc on our accounts. I got in.. he did not. Why? I have much more active play time in the game whereas he has been playing League of Legends more lately. So activity is most likely a factor.

[evret]

it will most likely be like previous betas, there will be a small group of testers (SCEE's closed beta test group) for a short period of time to make sure there are no critical bugs and servers are behaving as they should, then the people who get in via the sign-up form will be invited after.
for lbpv it was a around a week later

[The_Lil_JoKeR]

hmmm well if active is a factor then looks like i am in trouble i cant unlock pins due to a bug with my ps3 so looks like im out then :/
