Free LittleBigPlanet 'Leerdammer' 1.21 Update Released, Features 'Online Create' Mode

November 30, 2009 4:11 PM

Developer Media Molecule has released their latest free update for LittleBigPlanet today, to the delight of little sackboys and sackgirls everywhere. The version 1.21 update, called 'Leerdammer,' includes numerous improvements and additions, the most notable of which is a new 'Online Create' mode that lets up to four players to engage in cooperative level-building. If you found the initial level-design process to be a bit too solitary of an undertaking, 'Leerdammer' might be just the fix you've been looking for.

Much of the network code has also been improved to reduce general issues with lag, and location-based matchmaking logic has been added to help ensure solid connections with other players. Other tweaks have been made to how LBP profiles and levels are saved and stored, and the user data limit has also been increased, effectively doubling the number of photos and costumes that can be saved to a single profile.

You can check out a video explaining the update below, or view the complete list of improvements and fixes on the official site.

  From what I've played LPB is more kid friendly, and co-op friendly in general as player collision isn't an issue, scrolling isn't as fast, and there's the dressup and emotes, but the Super Mario has a more solid platforming based on jumping, whereas LPB is a slower moving physics based gameplay, but they're both good (assuming you like platforming)

      ...that so far has been so laggy and jittery as to be almost pointless.
      
      For me, anyway.
      
      Hopefully this update will fix that as well.

        Your internet is probably TERRIBAD. It's always been a -bit- laggy, but yeah, this patch also fixes that bit of lag. However, if it was unplayable before for you, the problem isn't the game, it's your connection.
