Online Create Mode - Post launch?

Can someone please confirm that Create Mode will have online 4 multiplayer available out of the box? I thought this would be an included feature but the most recent post in the official LBP site put this feature in question.

"To get you started we are already hard at work on some cool ideas for the way gamers can interact, including the ability to create levels together online in a multiplayer jamming mode!" 

 

I know that local 4 multiplayer for offline create mode was advertised a lot but not so much for online create mode.

    Yeh you can create online and offline with 4 people. BUT, You must complete the first 3 levels before you can create at all

    Nah, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't play Create online with my friend, he moved halfway around the world and I'm really looking forward to making stuff with him.
    CHECK OUT MY LEVEL!!!! It's called Rockwall and it rocks!! (No pun intended!) =D

    If a signature could tell you how much I love Little Big Planet, it would, but it can't, because neither words nor pictures have that much power.

    You have to complete the first 3 levels before creating? Oh well, I planned on beating the game first then messing around.

    I'm pretty sure their just tutorial/introduction levels.

    yes you can, but if you read this months issue of game informer they bring up a very good point

     

    be very carfull who you let in your levels while in create mode

    if you are building something and have been working on something for a bit of time and then let someone in before it is done, you need to rememmber they have the same ability to tweak, erase, and generally modify as you do.

    meaning you let someone on your prize level and they start erasing things...you might be upset!!

    Re: Online Create Mode - Post launch?

    as always, i could be wrong, but to me when they said:

     

    "...including the ability to create levels together online in a multiplayer jamming mode!"

     

    i get the idea that they are working on a separate feature that could be referred to as "jamming mode", which would not be the same as the regular level creation process. "jamming", as i've always known it, would be something a little more on the fly and winging it as apposed to a premeditated level design. kinda like having a jam session in music, everybody is winging it and adding stuff as they see fit, all on the fly and nothing is really planned.

     

    then again, MM has often referred to their unique game design as a sort of way of jamming with friends even when you aren't musically inclined so i could be way off and they really were  talking about the online multiplayer not being done yet.

    Re: Online Create Mode - Post launch?

    This is correct.

     

    The ability to create with your friends online will come as part of the first major update after the game is released. Offline creating with up to 4 people on one PlayStation 3 however is available right from the get go.

     

    Just to clarify what this means for the game, here's a few more FAQs -

     

    Is online create in the game from launch?
    No it's not, however it will be included in the first game update after launch. We're working on making this available as quickly as possible, but want to make sure it's right before releasing it.

     

    What does online create actually mean?
    Online create, quite simply, is the ability to use the create side of the game in an online multiplayer fashion.

     

    So I can still share my levels?
    Absolutely. All of the sharing features of the game are up and running.

     

    And I can still play multiplayer?
    Yes, both online and offline multiplayer (or any combination of the two) for playing through the story, or any downloaded levels.

     

    And I can still create levels with my friends offline?
    Totally. Up to 4 players can work together on a single PS3 to create levels. Also, you can still work collaboratively with friends to build levels by exchanging them through the share portion of the game.

     

    From my perspective, which you can take or leave, it is well worth getting some practise in with the create side of the game before trying to use it in a multiplayer fashion as it can be somewhat frustrating to get things done if everyone you're working with is still getting used to all the functions. While it's not ideal to have to wait for this feature to be released, it might actually be beneficial to creators until it happens as you'll be able to work out the tools entirely, and figure out how best to work with others on your projects.

    wait this was a feature that is to be in the game from the begining. Why is it with Dev they just figure they can patch game. Granted I want this game but I already preordered two copies for me and my sister so we can play together from our two systems. This is a big let down, I can't believe after all this time the game is lacking this when we had been told it would be there day 1.

    It won't kill you to wait a few weeks for the patch. I know it won't hurt me.

    Build the hype. Kill the hype. and i plan to create levels with friends online from the get go. Not wait until a patch was release. If it released DAY 1 of game release then I'm fine with that. but having to wait longer to more than  week? Forget it.
