Re: LBP Water beta?

I just saw this over on another website, and went to the beta page to sign up.
I don't know if I'll get in though, they're probably looking for people who will really make use of the new features rather than more relaxed LBP gamers like me, who don't really make many levels.

Re: LBP Water beta?

Anyone heard anything about this yet?
The website says they're no longer accepting applications, and successful entries will receive an email "in due course".

I don't think its anything to do with making levels. I've only ever made and published one level
It's more likely to be bug finding, testers are picked at random I think

I remember them saying that they would pick people to beta test based on "who would make the most use out of the new water features". I figured that they might have meant people who do a lot of level creation, but like you say, it's probably just random

Can't say much, NDA and all that....but I think you will be presently surprised.
There was a video leaked by someone who was on the beta (they're not now!)
