Topic: LBP2 delayed because...

The disc should be "perfect" because not everyone can get patches.

“Like LittleBigPlanet, we will be supporting the game with patches, updates and whatever, but you have to realise right from the beginning that there are those people who don’t have online and that is why we decided it was the right decision to delay the game,” Evans said, speaking to Anderson at EG Expo last weekend.

The developer added: “In the end, the main reason for it though was just that we played the game and in the end realised that we had to make the Blu-ray perfect, and I don’t mean 100 percent perfect, but I just mean something we are proud of.

“We respect people don’t have online and don’t want to patch their game to get the full experience. We could have shipped it and it would have been fine, however we realised that with just a couple of extra week’s we could make the game super amazing, adding the super onto the already amazing which exists today. This is something that will live forever and the delay, people will forget about.

Oh look, a developer that understands. I wish all companies would ship working products.

THIS.

There is nothing worse than buying an older PS3 game, and then waiting a few hours for it to patch.

Seriously, that's really nice.

It's nice, but I can't imagine playing LBP without an Internet connection.
