I want to go back to a year ago...

Archive: 78 posts

You guys remember when LBP was fresh and new? I sure do. Heck, I actually skipped school the day it came out to play it. True story, but let's just keep that between us. Anyway, I can still remember my first time popping the disc in and loading it up (after downloading my Kratos Pack, of course) and playing the Introduction and then The Gardens for the first time. The game really came alive for me in the first level of The Savannah, though. By then, I had this strange feeling (the same I talked about when I "rediscovered" LBP) that was quite pleasant.

I tried going back and replaying the story levels, especially The Wedding, but it just didn't feel the same. And I've realized that LBP will never feel the same to me. Story levels don't have the same sense of "Wow, how did they do that?" and Cool Levels aren't nearly as cool (even if they were broken at the start!). I've decided that if I could go back a year to my first day with LBP, I would do it. Just to experience that feeling again. I'm hoping ModNation Racers will give a similar feeling, but I don't think anything will ever be the same as my first time with LBP. And that's sad.

While that makes sense in general based on "how people work", I honestly don't empathize with the emotion.

I still haven't even finished my FIRST project yet.		2009-10-11 17:56:00

Nostalgia!

But I'm not impressed of the nostalgic type of gamer. The game is way better now and just yesterday i've been playing a user level that truly made me go "wow". At that point I had an incredible feeling and realised that I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEAR have thought that I would still be tripping on this game so much after a year.

That's what you get for making a super huge, long, 19 level long series of epic proportions as your "first" project >_>

Anyway... I identify with that. I want to go back to the days of drawing up levels on iScribble...

Usually I disagree with RangerZero to the point where I'm worried that it comes off like I'm just antagonizing him for the sake of it.

Now that he says something I completely agree with, I want to "thank" him.

So why is the little button to do so not in the corner, but it is for everyone else's post above his?

lol That's "truly" funny.

Just in case you ever wonder, I would never hold any grudge against you or anything. Sometimes, we just got to love to disagree and this makes our forum adventures more spicy.

Jag, don't go getting any ideas in MY thread! Go do your pillaging on your own time!

I think that the problem is I've been hit with some sort of nostalgia-bomb of late. All the time I'm thinking about "back in the day" and whatnot. Like, back when Burnout Paradise first came out and was epic. Back when LBP first came out and was new and exciting. See? I was just wondering if anyone else had this sort of feeling. I actually kinda hate it...		2009-10-11 18:13:00

I feel the same way about lbp in the beginning. There was something rather charming about the game when it first came out that has since gone. But that can really be said about anything "new", really. I loved making my first level, I loved playing through the story levels, I loved collecting all the prizes.

I've been hit with this same exact nostalgia bomb as of late, too, truth told. I deleted my secret screen name's profile and started playing through the game again. But it just wasn't the same. I hate that feeling, too. 		2009-10-11 19:09:00

No game really gives you that feeling of awe after you play it a while. I'm the nostalgic gamer, and with most of my games, I'll play a game constantly, play another game, play that constantly, and that usually gives it back.

I do this for the Xbox 360, though. :s		2009-10-11 21:12:00

While i'll agree that playing through levels doesn't always have the same "wow" factor, i'm not sure i'd want to go back to a year ago. Frankly, there is ALWAYS something new and exciting coming out. people discovering new techniques, people continuing awesome stories, new creators coming out of the woodworks to wow us all. Its hard to get bored with a game where almost anything is possible.2009-10-11 22:54:00

I know what you mean. Thinking back playing the levels with my friend online that very first day they were incredible. They felt so much bigger and so polished and rounded back then. Trying to get all the prizes in that first week was so much fun and seemed like so much effort.

I guess that 'wow' has to wear off at some point though. Since then however we've been 'wow'd' many times by the community, so while that initial feeling may have gone, it's been replaced by many others that are equal to it.

It's like a football team selling your favourite striker and replacing him with someone else who's equally as capable. Sure, he's not that trusty guy you've come to love...but it's someone just as good

I've lost a bit of my spark about the game too at the minute...haven't created for about a week (first time since it came out). Taking a bit of a break hoping it'll come back to me eventually.		2009-10-12 00:08:00

I never owned LBP from when it came out, it looked bland and unexciting when I saw it, but then it was rented from a movie store one day...and then I bought it!


If I could go back to a year ago of LBP, I would try to make some amazing level that would put people in amazement.		2009-10-12 00:51:00

Yeah, LMAO! If we would go back and still have our knowledge of the game, things could get bad for the good creators we see today xD		2009-10-12 00:58:00

i know what you mean.

it was that kinda of excitement that made "ramp" fun.

you know it was the first user level you played, and you loved it.

oh and i miss world of colur

maybe one of the best levels ever sad that that one is gone.

yet i keeps it fresheness in new ways as it evolves.

And i now i have a completely different reason to keep playing 		2009-10-12 17:20:00

I do have fond memories of a year ago, and how fresh some of the content was. There were only a few stand-out creators (such as Geosautus and Gevurah22).

But I wouldn't want to go back to a year ago.... too much has improved, many of the levels are now the quality of a professional development house, the tools are better, and there are quite a few fantastic creators.

I DO miss a few exceptional creators, such as OCK and Thegide...		2009-10-12 18:12:00

I REALLY know what you mean, I got LittleBigPlanet the day it came out, I stayed up ALL night playing through the story levels, trying to ace them, trying to collect as many items as possible, playing the survival challenges over and over and over.

If I got the chance to go back, I sure would take it! I try and play through the story, but it doesn't really feel beneficial, I've ace'd all of the levels, I've collected all the items. I think, knowing that you had so much to collect and explore the first time you played through made you feel wonderful! I would be so happy if Media Molecule released a big pack containing a whole new story just as long as the original. 		2009-10-12 18:35:00

We need a time machine.

Let's do it all again.

While I understand the emotion involved here (nostalgia - I get it too for some things), I get slightly confused when people put forth such propositions as if they are suggesting ... anything.

You want to go back in time and play the game for the first time. However, the element that really makes you want to go back in time to do this is having it be new. So, you want to do it in a way where you take the body of your old self, with all the memories of your old self exactly as they were without your current knowledge of things.

Basically, you want to be in the past, playing the game for the first time.

As opposed to reality, where you are in the past, playing the game for the first time.

That memory you have of doing that, that's a memory from that very past, doing that very thing. What exactly is it about this time-line that you're even wanting to change?

Let me phrase it this way, slightly tongue-in-cheek...

*Twitches his nose*

*BAM* I just granted your wish.

No, seriously. I sent you back to the past, and changed the past so that you had only exactly the memories you actually did have back then, so that you got to play the game for the first time, and then you worked your way all the up to now.

Can you evidence that I didn't "do" this, besides proving that the "action" in question ... is nothing and involves no change from "actual" reality..

Don't you already have what you want, which is a past of playing the game for the first time?		2009-10-12 20:00:00

Jagrevi's absolutely right, Ard. ... even if there were a time machine, it wouldn't feel the same, because you would have already played it, and your "self" that's being transported into the past wouldn't feel the way that your actual past "self" did... if that makes any sense.

And then you've got to make sure that your past self doesn't see your present self, or it'd cause the universe to collapse into itself. All in all, it'd be a big mess. ^_^

In seriousness, though, the only thing that would duplicate the initial lbp experience would be whatever the next lbp is.		2009-10-12 20:13:00

That would be good :/

LBP PSP is more of the same in my eyes, and I don't think it would excite me. I will most likely purchase it and play through the story levels, but I think you're a bit closer with MNR. I have no idea what that game is about, but I think it's the next step in play create share, and I think people are going to have a great time with it. ^_^2009-10-12 20:16:00

Your demo was amazing, and if your levels are as interesting and well thought out as your posts, then I can't wait until you publish your series lol

Or are they saying they want it to be LIKE IT WAS a year ago.... but with their current knowledge?

Ok, here we go:

* POOF! * Your wish is granted!

However, for your wish to properly come true you must at once delete all DLC from your PS3 that was released within the last year... including the MGS pack... and you must NEVER play any levels that were created within the last year.

So, have fun playing "Azure Palace", "Garden 1.1", "Ramp", "PS3 blows up XBOX360", and that wonderful level that idolizes "Jeff Fahey" as the greatest actor of all time.... over and over and over....		2009-10-12 20:18:00

I wouldn't want to relive the experience. Don't get me wrong, the first weeks of LBP were amazing - but the first time I flew into the create mode, it was like starring at a brick wall that I couldn't get over. I worked hard to be where I'm at now, and I'd like to keep moving forwards 2009-10-12 20:22:00

The great thing is if you want to simulate a year ago, it really isn't that hard - you just need to limit what you can do in LittleBigPlanet.

However, to truly simulate Jegrevi's scenario, you will need an additional crack on the head with a hammer to simulate amnesia.

Personally, I think I'll stick with the here-and-now. If things had stayed the same for this whole year I think I would have been totally bored by now.		2009-10-12 20:39:00

Lol.

But I think in all seriousness, the point is that you already get to play ramp for the first time, I'm just, obviously, talking to you at a point in your life that takes place after you play ramp for that first time.

It reminds me in some ways of a conversation I had with a stranger a few weeks back. It seems that the reality of mortality had hit them recently, and they began to go through a typical "mid-life-crisis". They began to question me about many things, and they seemed to be a bit befuddled when I mentioned that while I was somewhat afraid of dying, I was not in fact afraid of being dead - a distinction I tried to go out of my way to point out.

At first they seemed to misunderstand what I meant, but I clarified that I was not a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Jew, or a Hindu, or a Bhuddist - that I wasn't doubting that there was death awaiting me, in it's most simple, literal, and total form, it's just that the notion of being dead, at least eventually, didn't bother me.

They began to come back at me with alot of (and I might be slightly off on the quote) "but wouldn't it be great if you got to live your life again, from the beginning? If you could go on living?".

They left before I could get in a retort. I, admittedly, hesitated because they were a stranger and part of me was programmed not to 'upset their sensibilities' - even though it was, honestly, to give comfort, because they seemed to be rather emotionally distraught and having trouble coping with the reality of inevitable death.

What I wanted to say though is that I do get to go on living, and so do they, death even being what I naturally assume it is.

The worst thing the world could do to me is kill me.

Erase me from history, though? Prevent me from living? Now THAT'D be a trick.		2009-10-12 20:42:00

You know, while I'd love to go back to last year and recapture the excitement of the game when it first came out... here are some things I DON'T want to relive:

The broken-ness of cool levels in the beginning - you had to fight with the beta levels that were already there.

The random moderation of levels - people's levels were zapped for no reason.

No search feature.

Promoting levels back then was awful and impossible.

A lot of stuff has happened to me in a year, and while i really like where I'm at right now in the game, I would NEVER want to relive some of the stuff leading up to it. Not in a million years.

Edit: Btw, I'm one of the few people who could actually do WITHOUT the mgs pack. I really am not a fan. lol. But the other dlc, probably not. I love that song from the history pack WAAAAAAAAAY too much.

And if you wonder why? I can't aim the paintinator. Ask anyone who's played with me. ha hah.		2009-10-12 20:52:00

I'm going to have to replay through all the story levels at some point anyways, just because the one thing I'm making now will literally take up all 20 profile spots, which means after I'm done, I'll have to create a new profile and play all the way through story mode before I can seriously create again. 2009-10-12 21:30:00

I'm semi-amazed I'm still playing and creating a whole year after the game came out. Thats pretty special.

About a month after water comes out we'll be seeing levels that do something completely new. Good, no? : )2009-10-12 21:47:00

Or, create in one account only and dump your levels in another account when you don't have space anymore.

I'm a nostalgic type of dude, so I can definitely understand the misty-eyed memory of LBP when it was new. Plus this was me when it first came out, when I was playing through the story missions and hadn't made a single level yet:

or perhaps

And this was me several months later, after creating a couple of levels, and even me as recently as last week, still creating levels:

You are correct, sir, I was just talking to my lady the other day about how this really is the game that never ends. It really doesn't, I don't think I've ever played a game this consistently for this long. It stays exciting. This is a revelation (and a revolution!) in the industry as far as I'm concerned.		2009-10-13 13:25:00

I had the "luck" of replaying through story mode once more when I got my new PS3 and as everyone has been saying...it is not the same.

It still has some of the charm (mostly Fry) but we are not easily impressed anymore.
Oh look, the entire background just faded away to reveal an artic landscape...big deal Media Molecule...what else ya got?

We have all evolved so far beyond that to the point that I think this is one of the biggest reasons Mm doesn't release many level packs.
We have really high standards by now and we expect Mm to do better than those already high standards.

Sooo..... what's the verdict? We're fine with this place in time? Or do we want Wexfordian to quit making "The Good, The Bad, and The Sackboy" quality levels and go back to "Little Big Fish Pond"?

How about a compromise... we take everything we know now and go back a year. We'll all be a bit younger, and we have some chance of squashing out H4Hing and bomb-survivals. Then, we all use our superior knowledge to make amazing-sick-awesome levels from the get-go.2009-10-13 15:42:00

LOL@ Teebonesy

I dunno, i still get a sense of wowness playing amazing new levels as much as I ever did. 'When The Cows Come Home', 'Watermill Valley' and 'Into the Wild' all made me smile like a loon recently.

I've kinda reached saturation point with temple/cave levels though, unless they do something genuinely different. I wish there were more levels with bouncing dustbins, jumping bananas and grabbable chocolate see-saws.		2009-10-13 16:17:00

I agree with you there. I think we could use more rankors, sand people, bounty hunters, short droids that serve drinks, flying lightsabers, and a jolly jabba that says yabba dabba 		2009-10-13 16:44:00

Then I'm not sure how you'll feel about my new level "Temple of the Lost Dustbin, part one - Caverns of the Jumping Banana."		2009-10-13 17:20:00

I too miss the awesome feeling I had whenever I followed this game pre-release... that is why I'm going to attempt to bottle up all those warm fuzzies we felt in the demos in one of the levels I'm working on

The game just feels different somehow than those prerelease demos, I don't know how.		2009-10-13 18:04:00

I don't remember getting pre-release demos? Maybe you're referring to the videos? Quite a bit changed from those original videos to the actual game when it was released.		2009-10-13 18:15:00

If the temple is made of chocolate and the caverns are made of tin foil you get an instant heart from me.		2009-10-13 18:35:00

Hang on. Someone was talking about a time machine around here... I'll go back in time and make things right. I'd better try not to go back too far, though. If I go back past valentines day, I won't have the chocolate material. 2009-10-13 18:45:00

I'm good how things are. The only thing about going back a year would be that I could have started creating at the release and I'd be almost double as good by now

I get nostalgic about stuff, but it's rare that I succumb to wow factor and then feel like I've lost that. Normally I just remember all the things that made me go wow in the first place and regardless of how dated it seems, it's the nostalgia that makes me feel good. Every now and again I crack out doom - that game is tat by today's standards but my god does it feel good.

If you are feeling nostalgic, don't let it bring you down, tap into it to make you feel better about the game. Everything you loved about the game and the story mode is still there. You just need to remember it.

And even if you can't, then just remember that this game has very much improved, like a fine wi.... ahhh screw it, I'll let Teebonesy or Ungreth come along and do some nice analogies for us		2009-10-13 23:53:00

LittleBigPlanet is like a bottle of Kombucha.

So people first buy their littlebigplanet tea, and they drink it, and it's quite sweet and full of simple, universally lovable flavor. With time sitting in the bottle, this flavor begins to 'change' as it ferments, becoming more complex with time, and eventually a giant fungus grows inside it. When you taste it again, that sweetness has been replaced by something that makes the bottom half of your face grimace in abject confusion and the top half of your face gaze in curious wonder at the terrors of the cold, cold cosmos. It's very healthy to drink, is full of nutrients, but it also smells like garbage-juice, fresh-squeezed from your favorite dumpster. Truly a complex bouquet of acquired flavors.

Ungreth, you're up.		2009-10-14 01:34:00

On the first couple days of the release I was really anticipating the amazing levels people would come up with, and they didn't ever disappoint me .2009-10-14 02:43:00

i remember when i first heard about this game; some kid at my high school for some reason brought an lbp game guide with him everyday and kept it on his desk. he wasnt very popular, but i met him through a friend and he payed me to draw for him.

i had no clue what the game was and didnt really think much of it, but at gamestop i saw an ad for it, and being stuck back in the gamecube days, i was impressed by the graphics and "camera". i bought it the next day.

it makes me feel nostalgic thinking back to when the game was new, but i didnt really experience that "wow" feeling until after i beat the game; that was when i found out you can make those levels, lol. i wasnt aware of level creation at all, and it took me ages to get everything through my head.

i miss those days in general; because everything after that seemed boring and not so special.		2009-10-15 07:24:00

I know what you mean! The first time I played the Wii felt so amazing to me! And opening it up and touching it was golden. Now that feeling is lost. But I guess you get that with any new thing.2009-11-10 20:44:00
