Posting on its official website, LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule has shared its feelings on the sudden release delay for LittleBigPlanet.
“As some of you may have noticed, LBP has been slightly delayed in some territories. At MM we were as shocked and dismayed by this as anyone – shellshocked and gutted. We can’t wait for you all to get playing and creating!” explained Media Molecule.
Media Molecule continued: “We learnt yesterday that there is a lyric in one of the licensed tracks which some people may find offensive, and which slipped through the usual screening processes. Obviously MM and Sony together took this very seriously. LBP should be enjoyable by all. So within 12 hours of hearing about this issue involving a lyric (in Somalian, I believe!), Media Molecule had prepared an automatic day 0 patch and had a new disk image ready; however a decision was made within Sony that the right thing to do for quality and support of people with no on-line was to replace existing disks.”
The developer went on to apologise for the delay, but assured all fans that the game “will be worth the wait”.
“We want everyone to be able to enjoy the game, and this tweak should help – we’re just gutted it couldn’t be sooner. MM continues to work hard to support the game too. We know that LBP will be something that you can enjoy for a long time to come, when all of this is forgotten and all that remains are thousands of incredible levels and creations to play, create and share,” Media Molecule concluded.
Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced a new release date in the week of November 27. There’s currently no confirmed release date for Europe, although an announcement is expected shortly – October 31 or November 7 seems most likely.
