LittleBigPlanet 2 Update

 LittleBigPlanet 2 is due to be updated this week which will include some tweaks to a number of community features in order to reduce negativity and encourage collaboration.

Here is the full list of changes:

Dive-In
The Dive-In feature has now been moved to the top of the Community menu, and has been vastly rewired and improved to help players easily find some new Sackfolk to play with during their adventures

Boo-Be-Gone

To help encourage creativity, we have removed the Boos from the Level Rating System. You can still Yay a level to say that you really liked it, but we found that the Boo ratings were disheartening at best, and could be used to cause grief amongst the community. If you happen to find something you don’t like because it’s rude or mean or just plain offensive, then hit the Select Button and use the Good Grief System to report it to our moderation team.

Comments & Reviews

If you have just played a level and wish to provide the creator with some helpful feedback, then you can still use the level’s comments section or perhaps leave a nice and informative review for the entire community to read. If you’re a busy creator though and would like to take a break from the reviews and comments on your level, you can now choose to disable reviews and/or comments on your profile and levels via the Settings Page on LBP.me. You won’t lose anything though, it will just block people from seeing them, or adding more, until you re-enable it again.

Crysis 3 screenshots unveiled

 The first screenshots of Crysis 3 have been revealed by EA.

Crysis 3 is scheduled to be released in Spring 2013 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

View what Crytek had to say along with the screenshots below:

"New York City lies in ruin. Skyscrapers once thought to be timeless monuments crumble and give way to vines. Clamoring streets that filled with rush-hour traffic now host the banks of a river. An underground system designed to support millions has rotted into caverns as deep and dark as anywhere on Earth. A nanodome looms overhead, keeping the eye of the outside world out and an untold danger in. This is where you strike. Nature has reclaimed what was once the world's most iconic city and you'll have to adapt if you want to survive. Stalk your prey through a shadowy 5th avenue rainforest or wade waist-high through an urban swamp. Cover ground quickly over the midtown grasslands or seek cover in a deep, etched Wall Street canyon. You'll need to plan for any situation in the wreckage of the city. With the dome overhead and alien technology on the loose there's no telling what challenges you'll face. So, you better be ready to use every situation and environment to your advantage, because you won't get a second chance. It's a jungle out there."

In addition, the game's development team, including members from Capcom Japan and Ninja Theory, presented a brand new level of the game. In this area, set at a carnival near the pier where he lives, Dante faces off with a Hunter Demon that has tracked down the Son of Sparda.
