This is a sub-page of Proto:LittleBigPlanet 3 (PlayStation 3).

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

To do:

  • Check for level differences; there are certainly some minor visual differences in the Prologue.
  • There are a number of Pins that were removed from the final game.

Revision 644592 of LittleBigPlanet 3 is a late QA build of the game. With a build date of September 24, 2014, it precedes the final 1.00 build of the game by 19 days.

The build was released to the public on April 20th, 2021.

General Differences#

  • There is still no animation for changing characters, however a delay between initiating the transformation and actually changing characters has been implemented, along with the sound that plays when the transformation is complete.
  • The narrator has dialogue that plays when opening the Start menu for the first time, which goes unused in the final game.
  • The idle video from LittleBigPlanet 2 is used as the placeholder idle video in this build.
  • The Tutorials section includes a Publishing entry, which just plays the PS Eye camera tutorial video.
  • For whatever reason, the mcBess sticker pack, which would come to be released much later in LittleBigPlanet 3's lifespan, can be seen here automatically included with your Popit. It is unknown why the pack was created so early in advance (They all use the "Some kind of object" placeholder name).

The Adventure Badge graphics for Manglewood, the Ziggurat and Bunkum Lagoon were all changed for the final game.

Adventure Differences#

Adventure Maps#

The Adventure Maps in this build have some slight differences compared to the final game. Of note, the Prologue has a different fog colour, animated flower decorations that were removed, and a different material for the sky.

On the Manglewood map, the animated camera that shows how many of OddSock's marbles have been found has a different model. Additionally, the rocket ship decoration next to the Deep Space Drive-in badge has different textures.
