LittleBigPlanet 2 is a puzzle-platformer video game that features user-generated content. It was originally scheduled for release in November 2010 but was delayed until January 2011. It is a direct sequel to the critically acclaimed 2008 title LittleBigPlanet and the third game in the series following a PSP version released in 2009. Most of the more than 3 million levels created by users in the first game carry over and are playable and editable in LittleBigPlanet 2. Unlike its predecessor, which was marketed as a platform game, LittleBigPlanet 2 was marketed as a "platform for games". Support for PlayStation Move was added to the game through a software update in September 2011, allowing users to play the game using the PlayStation Move motion controller in conjunction with a Navigation Controller or gamepad.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

GPU configuration

Setting	Option	Notes
ZCULL accuracy	Precise	Fixes horizontal artifacting.
Write color buffers	On	Fixes missing character portraits and photos.

Special Notes

Resolution scaling

If you want to increase the resolution scaling in this game you need to enable Force CPU Blit in Debug tab (must be enabled manually in /GuiConfigs/Currentsettings.ini by setting showDebugTab line to true). You also need to enable the Disable SPU MLAA patch (located under all titles in Patch manager). Note that this comes with a performance penalty and some visuals like electricity glow will be gone.

Netplay testing

For the complete list of games tested with RPCN, please check the RPCN Compatibility List.

Game Version	RPCS3 Version	Connects?	Create/Join lobbies?	Match with others?	Online features working?	Requires custom servers?	Notes
1.33	N/A	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Available	Use one of the custom server patches and register your RPCN username to the respective server's site.
