I'm talking about that specific feature that was a big part of the hype. That particular feature won't even be in the initial product. I doubt it will be the best or the worst game ever, or that it will even be bad when it comes out (I hope they at least did some polish if they cut out the online build mode) but that's also a possibility. LBP isn't the only game, developers as of late have started releasing games while planning for future patches, that should just not be the case and I hope for all such games to be slammed by reviewers, as they should be. LBP among them as well (but fairly).

Ur complaining that they cut out a feature which will be patched at a later date, FREE I might add. I wonder wat u think about this generation and the onslaught of DLC right after a launch of a game. BTW, the big selling points of this game are: play, create and share. U can still do that. Also, idk about u but I'm pretty sure that creating a level will take a couple hrs or so for a good one, so creating wit 4 ppl online is gonna be kind of a hassle. I prolly won't do that even when it gets patched, I'll play the levels, I won't create with ppl though.

You all are missing the point. Yes it will be patched for free at a later date, but it is a feature which was prominently talked about that would be a feature of the game, implying that it would be there upon release not upon a patch. They should have just held the game back a month or so until they could deliver everything that was promised and add that additional layer of polish.

I don't think anything, there is a huge difference between DLC and a patch with promised content from the initial release. I call that rushing a game and being sloppy. DLC is a completely different animal from this.

so, what's the problem. You put the game on, link it to the web, download it, and play the game.

I've heard It has something to do with online co-op.

Is 4 player coop online not available at all, or just the create mode? Or are those two the same.

And do the main missions have online coop or will that also be patched later on?

If the patch is available on or before release I don't think I will care much. Hell even
if it's before we finish the main quest in a few days I think i'll be fine.

If not I will be quite disappointed. The reason why this feature meant so much to me was that I don't live close to all my friends anymore. I thought that despite the distance we could enjoy the joys of co-creation.

But as I said it all depends on their timing. I'm really glad they aren't just axing it because then I wouldn't have bought the game.

 i actually did not know there was on-line creation mode. so hearing this im dissappointed its not in the game day 1 but i am also relieved they are going to patch it in, most likely with other features/levels/stuff. so my hype for this game did not diminish nor did i resent the fact that they rushed it and decided to patch a feature or two into this game at a later date.

That's just you, yet there are people like nitekrawler right above you who were really looking forward to this feature. The end result is simply one of the following:
a) rushed game so it releases before Christmas, thus failing to deliver everything promised
b) Sony's bait and switch at work again (at least they are patching it so i doubt it's this)

 a) if its already planed to come in a patch at a later date how is this failing to deliver anything?

b) why fix somethings thats not broke? besides all companies use the bait and switch stragety....its how you sell your hardware/software

I agree with markers, I had no idea u could create online, I always thought it was offline. It doesn't matter to me as all my friends live nearby (that have PS3s), the only bad thing is that I won't be able to create with fellow VGChartz members and have a "special bonding moment" (LOL that sounds funny). Anyways, like I said before, I didn't know it was coming, so I'M not disappointed, hype is still the same, if not more because I know it's coming.
