Announced at Comic-Con today were new Marvel costumes for LittleBigPlanet. The costumes you see are concepts - they may or may not be the final version. Seen here are (left to right) Iron Man, Wolverine, and Captain America, but could other Marvel content be coming as well? Keep your eyes peeled for more details and pricing in the coming weeks.

Nice, Wolverine costume looks cool.

They should make costumes from VIZ or Shounen Jump (Anime networks) next. XD

They seem to have a lot of plans for new franchise based costumes lately.

Even though those are "concept renders" I think we can safely say they'll look pretty close to those renders. Looks great.2009-07-27 00:20:00

I know this is the wrong place for this, but I'd prefer if comic books were, well, smaller, and not have a bunch of crazy multiverses and aliens and all that. the concept of X-men being a discriminated against brand of humanity would work so well if it wasn't for the millions of other super heroes flying around <_>

But yeah, look good, probably won't get unless they come with a major pack though...

All three look great. This is the first 'costume only' pack I am (and have been) actually excited about (no offense to all you fine other costume packs out there).2009-07-27 00:55:00

Wow I love Wolverine and Iron Man. Captain A isn't too shabby either!

Like someone else said, all they need is Spiderman (and maybe the Green Goblin or Venom!) and it's 200x epic-er than any other costume pack

buck the trend of the crap they have realised over the last few months

I agree, but they're gonna charge for it, and because of this, many people will continue to make Spiderman tutorials.

I'll buy them obviously, but as someone already said, I want Shounen Jump costume (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach...or even old mangas like Jo-Jo, *******!!, Saint Seiya or Fist Of The North Star)
Sony and MM are not considering how much this Japanese manga add on would push up the sales in Japan.

Heh, I was wondering how fast this was going to make it to the web... but that was literally minutes when Mark presented it at the Marvel panel. I just remember telling him after he came back to our Sony booth and he was surprised! xD2009-07-27 08:10:00

Actually I would have expected DC characters (since the collaboration SOE/DC for DC Online), so Superman, Batman and some fan favourites.
Maybe we would have them both...I prefer Marvel chars anyway.

Donkey/Gevurah, would you be so gentle to point out to Mark the business of the manga costumes?

Actually we've had British comics, we're going to have American comics, we should need Japanese comics in order to have that multiethnicity and multiculturality that is deep in the concept of LBP.

Wolverine costume looks awesome. If the claws can slide in-and-out then it'll be epic. :hero:2009-07-27 13:26:00

An official level for the costumes? After all those official Heavenly Sword, Ghostbusters, and Paintinator Killzone levels we got? Hmm. I currently calculate that probability at When Pigs Fly%.

As for costume levels, I again must grunt. As RockSauron points out, there are a zillion costume reboots out there in the comics universe. If you give me a classic Wolverine, I can make a Movie Wolverine (Wolverine head and claws, PVC costume, stickers); Logan (head and claws, tank top painted white, jeans, cowboy boots), etc. And Spider-Man? There's black, gold, big-eye with webs in the pits, freakin' VENOM...

I think I'm done wishing for levels and new functionality. Mm, while definitely awesome and prize-winning, is probably not making as much money off this costume stuff as Sony is. I forgive them. Also, you give me functioning water, and a player will waltz into a level and break something so it pours everywhere.

Rather than putting umpteen million guys on one piece of new function, give me one talented lady or gentleman cranking out new Player Colors every month. New Sponge materials without seams. Grab handle widgets you can bolt to wood.

And lastly, a Photograph Self option: if you hover the Capture Photo box over a player, let Square take a sticker pic of Just You. Then Costumes become in-level-characters easily, making costume purchases more desirable.

Easier to do than new levels, easier to integrate than new toys, less expensive labor costs...and if I make a crap level with new materials, that's my fault.

...
Are you saying what i think you're saying...?
You better not be joking... :kz:
(Then again you do seem to know alout of Mm's stuff)
Awesome!

Altho it really has nothing to do with anime or manga except for the fact that he's japanese.
(Yet agin they did make a Final Fantasy VII anime episode, so it kinda counts i guess. )

Tho i do agree some anime/ manga costumes would be pretty awesome.

But still, Sephiroth costume = Win xM

Put him and Cloud together, maybe some Tifa, and you could do mashups of almost every Bleach character.2009-07-28 06:31:00
