New character enhancement spotted

Archive: 58 posts


While looking at how they did the LBP demo i spotted this in the create mode video

http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/11931i3E31F1A8B9E4C076/image-size/large?v=mpbl-1&px=-1

Anyboy think they know what it is??

(if anybody thinks they can get a better picture... i would love to have a better look at the enhancement )

It look like a practice target decoration, or a recycling sign. 2009-09-10 23:19:00

a recycling sign.

Exactly what I was going to say


Rebreather for the water pack perchance? Not the symbol I would have chosen but it could be.

My guess is that it is related to the water pack as well, but I have no idea what it's supposed to be.

Perhaps someone in the waterbeta can confirm...? [/High_hopes]

If you want someone to try and make a better picture, it might help to link us to the video in question.

This is what i first thought but it looks nothing like the scuba suit on the water beta sign up page

maybe LBP is going green

I'll reiterate:

Where can the video be found?

I can't link the the video in question because it's embedded within the LBP demo that was released today but it is the video that auto plays when you go to create

scuba mask?

That's basically what I meant by rebreather. I was just tying an alternative word in with the recycling nature of the symbol, as that's essentially what a rebreather does (partially)

It could be an old version of the 'Remove upgrade' tool.2009-09-10 23:27:00

Yes this could be true but i can't see how this symbol releates to removing something but it does look like an old build of the game as there is now tether less jet pack

I fancy the notion that it is a rebreather.

If you'll notice, the enhancement has a symbol similar to the recycle one. And I assume a rebreather recycles used air, so, this could be our underwater breathing apparatus as we've seen.

the rightest icon really does looks like a sackboy so the "scuba suit" wouldn't be far fetched of a guess.

It is definitely the Paintinator, I'm not sure what he's talking about.

Oh that's right.

I so thought that we talking about the 2 icons on the right that my brain only could see it as something new.

(I hope we get an underwater powerup..)

Yeah, I guess this puts out the water suggestions Any build with water in would surely have create pack... Unless they never picked up the bubbles in create pack 1 in this build you have to manually collect them don't you?

I'm trying to work out if anyone in the water beta is posting in this thread, their absence could tell us everything. Or nothing...

Good spot, it's something new for sure.
Expect to NOT see the visits of the guys in the beta and/or the thread locked and erased ASAP.

I don't think this site works like a private government organization.

Anyway, given the facts, I think there is a good chance that it's simply an outdated tool. But then again, you never know.

uninformed speculation

Maybe it automatically re-equips you with the power-up you used previously. I don't see a point in that but ho hum.

Fact meaning that recent Character Enhancements like the Tetherless Jetpack and current Enhancement Remover aren't present.

That's one fact... Another fact is that you don't get them by default. You have to go get the creator pack and play the levels to collect the bubbles to get them in your popit 2009-09-11 11:35:00

That's true, but I think it's fairly likely that a developer would have all of their available tools with them, so that hints at the fact that those tools weren't available to them at that point in time.

it is true that people that play the beta cannot talk about it....but they don't keep their promises.... like the halo 3 odst beta, i was in it....i talked about it....nothing bad happend....sorta....

I'm just saying, what can they do to you that is so bad?

It's kinda more a case of respect really. There are all sorts of things you could do that you shouldn't, or that you've said you won't, and still get away with them. Potential repercussions shouldn't be the only deciding factor in your actions.

exactly! nothing bad happens, so why wouldn't they tell....?

We don't know if it has to do with water or not, and we don't know if it is the real item look or not....all we know is this.... chuck norris can kick ironman's butt....

If Spaff's reply is anything to go by, it's a definite new enhancement.
LINKY (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/lbp/board/message?board.id=pod&message.id=94439#M94439)

And as far as the water is concerned, doubtful, it seems separate from the water related stuff.

Actually you seem to forget that this is from the demo and is limited in many ways. The amount of available tools being one of the limitations.

mnnn... what do you guys think of this idea...

Its pretty clear to me anyway that its a recycle symbol. Collecting this would allow you to collect multiple powerups, paintinator, jetpack etc and allow you to cycle through them and choose which one you would want?

Sorry if that seems confusing to you.

The reason is because we enjoy and are honored by the privilage to be in the Beta and would like to be invited back in the future.

Basically the NDA we agreed to is a promise not to tell and I keep and honor my promises.

Whaat!? NOOO that totally destroys one of my levels!

E.g Player one uses a Paintanator, Player Two uses a Jetpack.
Player Two picks up player one and player one shoots.

I actually think it looks like the decoration from the metal gear solid pack. That green triangle one you know?
Maybe you can throw green triangles at something? don't know...

You don't have to use it.

It could also be that Mm are attempting a subliminal advertising campaign to encourage recycling.

I believe Nuclear waste is currently a bigger problem than landfills....

They could give us a picketing sign as a power-up

If it's really the recycle symbol, I'll bet it turns cardboard into toilet paper. 2009-09-11 13:44:00

It was the placeholder image for the character-enhancement object (which is now a giant red X).

Aww, you beat me to it.

I did notice in the demo that the sticker switches flash, and the object its attatched to will turn green/red depending on the sticker you place on it.

Seriously, this is the kind of post you guys should make more often. This community is never tired of starting mega-speculations with everything.
But maybe this is good

Am I the only one who notices that the tetherless jetpack and X thing are missing?

EDIT:

Could it be a powerup that restores lives on your current checkpoint? I bet it is.

DOUBLE EDIT: Don't listen to MM. THEY LIE!

The green enhancement in the picture is an early version of the red X thing, and the tetherless jetpack probably wasn't made yet.
