Patch schedule ‘leaked’ - online create coming soon, Arcade Pack revealed

Jan 31st 2009 - 9:25 PM

The sneaky observant 20:20 vision folks over at the Playstation Lifestyle blog noticed something special in the background of one of the photos on the Media Molecule Flickr Stream - a big whiteboard with what appears to be the cheese patch release schedule.

The text doesn't tell us *much* more than we already knew, and knowing this industry, this is about as reliable as that guy that stood you up last year, HOWEVER, and it's rare for us to warrant the use of all caps like that, the board does contain some UBER SECRETS. See there we go again.

If this board is to believed, Online Create is scheduled to appear along with Cornish Yarg, officially scheduled for mid-March, and some new previously unknown patches have appeared.

The new patches are named Jarlsberg, a mild cow's-milk cheese with large irregular holes, which appears to contain something related to British Sci-Fi Comic 2000AD, and Stinking Bishop, a soft washed-rind cheese, that will contain something known as the "Arcade Pack".

One interesting note is that just out of sight we can see 1.08, which is listed as a data pack rather than a code pack, a patch we know contained only costumes. The 2000AD Jarlsberg patch is also listed as a data patch hmmmmmmm.

Your guesses are as as good as ours, but many, many things spring instantly to mind as to what these patches could contain, especially for the Arcade Pack - leave your thoughts in the comments!

Many thanks to everyone who sent this in - Barnsey313, Stalking Silence, CJSgamer, and MrGrey from LittleBigLand.

[UPDATE]

Media Molecule have now removed the photo from their photo stream, adding it to their private collection. However, you can see the original photo of 'super-serious' Media Molecule Art Director Kareem Ettouney here. For camera meta-data nerds, the photo was taken on January 23rd at 18:21 with a Panasonic DMC-LX3 at a shutter speed of 10/500 at f/2.8, 400 iso, although that information is truly gratuitous.

Wow! I was on this website just before this was posted, did some stuff, came back and this was here. Amazing! Anyway this is really awesome stuff ( like it always is!). Keep up the good work!

Anchor

BTW, forgot to mention, is there gonna be a patch to fix the problem with not saving? hope you know what i mean

Anchor

I’d hope that the save issue would be included in the priority bug fixes, which should be in the Edam patch, scheduled for mid february currently…. not too long now.

Anchor

Mmm… that is some tasty info there.  Online Create should be really fun, and I’m really interested in finding out what that Arcade Pack could be.  Awesome job, as always, LBPoid. wink

Anchor

to be fair, it wasn’t us that noticed it, credit goes to the lifestyle folks, http://playstationlifestyle.net/2009/01/31/exclusive-leaked-lbp-dlc-patch-schedule-from-media-molecule/

but thanks though smile

Anchor

Cool ^_^

A few things came to mind with the “Arcade Pack”, first of all, I’m thinking it could be a new pack of original levels, in the same vein of story mode, but involve many classic game style parody levels. It could also be a number of survival and multiplayer challenges. Or it could (and will) be something so awesome that I could never ever have thought of it.

Anchor

Me want LBP nachos now…

Anchor

Tsh, Littlebigplanetoid, I sent you an email about that about 3 days ago you could have been first to report it!

Anchor

Oh silly me, Just saw my name at the bottom!

Anchor

Anchor

Anchor

ohhh patchess.. nvm i got it

Anchor

i cant wait for online create mode. im hoping the 2000 AD pack will have a judge dredd costume!

Anchor

You guys are talking about an Arcade Pack have you ever thought about this being the Killzone 2 Pack? Becaus I heard there was going to be a Killzone 2 Pack with new maps and stuff (don’t remember where)!

Anchor

Interesting to see the offending photo has now been pulled from the feed…

Anchor

I remember I saw it here this is what it said:

Killzone 2’s lead character, Sgt. Tomas “Sev” Sevchenko also has a costume. The level kit features 5 nail-biting levels that take you through the barren landscapes of Helghan.

That’s like 5 new LVL’s :O

Anchor

@Mman250

You’re talking about our level kit predictions.

Strictly NOT true! wink We predicted a weather tool with a Killzone2 pack too - but it was all just for fun… Time will tell what the K2 pack includes, but the only information we have is a hint that it will be out on February 27th.

Anchor

*sigh* but no entry for HDD image importing :‘(

Anchor

WOOO HOOO! this ought to be AWESOME!!! what does it mean by tutorials? Dosen’t the game already have tutorials? Maybe for the online create? and arcade pack? hmmmmm.. to the drawing board!!

Anchor

i really hope the arcade pack has something to do with arcade games maybe since they saw the libidus level and ddr level

Anchor

Hummmmm. I only pickles in the future.

Anchor

Anchor

Anchor

http://www.littlebigplanetoid.com/feature/top_20_lbp_level_kit_predictions

Anchor

Im confused, they said January 28 for Cornish Yarg, but its February 1st…Repliessssss????? :J)

Anchor

@ John Livingston

I know that! I’m looking for the level kid predtictions! Not the level kit predictions.

Anchor

ohhhhh it was a typo. that explains a lot.

Anchor

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE RED DWARF COME TO LBP A SACKBOY THAT’S LOOK LIKE RIMMER, CAT, LISTER OR KRYTEN WOULD BE COOL.

Anchor

Wow! This is really awesome stuff. Keep up the good work! I was looking for headphones and got your site. Nice information.
