Sonic Kit officially coming 3/25

Archive: 99 posts


Well we all knew it was coming, and while the debate on if the costumes themselves were made well or not rages on, regardless to quote LBP.com "a costume kit that needs no introduction" is finally coming,

What has got me excited is the pack also contains themed stickers from the Original Sega Genesis hit.

http://www.littlebigplanet.com/images/assets/shared/dlc/imagery/sonic_stickers.jpg

There was even a little trailer and in it is a level from a creator who too needs no introduction here on LBPC.

Well I couldn't embed the video off of LBP.com but I found someone who put it on youtube, I hope the quality is low just because it was recently uploaded.

They're exactly the same as before... It's just that we no longer have crappy images to go off that made them look crap... even though they still do.

I'm very happy to see that they used Kiminski's level for that trailer as well, but it doesn't make me like the costumes anymore. Although, this is the first costume pack I've been disappointed with, so I guess that's something.2010-03-19 22:35:00

I buy all of the costume packs. Not because I think that they're cool (which most of them actually are, anyway) but I buy them incase of some genius who thinks of a custom costume that uses them.2010-03-19 23:30:00

I like the stickers but I'm going to skip this one. I'm not into costumes that much and the whole kit is $4.99. On another note, congrats Kiminski for having your level shown in that video. I've played the level before and it was very good.2010-03-19 23:46:00

Once again the concept art is better than the finals.
http://www.littlebigplanet.com/images/assets/shared/concept_art/sonic.jpg

Interesting that they used a community level to showcase the costumes. That could be a whole topic on its own.
Probably a good thing though.

Oh yeah lol, didn't notice that. I can see it now, you spend your hard earned money start the game all exited to see the stickers and costumes only to see a message pop up saying:

"April fools! There never was sonic pack, we just wanted to steal your money! "

Oh yeah, lets play April fools a week early!!!

If you think like that you may as well say that the April 1st update isn't going to happen simply because it falls on April Fools day, and that days update is just a big joke.

Don't be so narrow sighted. Companies have no reason to play the stupid game of Aprils Fools, it only backfires on them at the end of the day.


If there isn't an option to pre-order it, I stand by my case.
So? What's your point.
You can't and never have been able to pre-order DLC.

Doopz said it as if people had already purchased it. I was saying they could say it's coming and then not do it.

Also calm down. I said I had doubts, it's not as if I was saying "THERE IS NO WAY THIS WILL HAPPEN". I've just seen game companies do this sort of thing before.

How do you ever gonna need like 90% of the stickers in this game for what they are?
Those sonic stickers will have some out of the box artistic uses at some point like most stickers of the game (it's stupid but aren't we used to dumb stickers?)

hmmm not so sure about this pack not overly struck on the characters and im a sonic veteran from back in the day phew showing my age abit there haha, and as for the stickers hmm again id have liked them not to look like 16bit graphics were on hi def these days 16bit looks abit well just not good these days id have loved the stickers to be remade in whatever graphics the ps3 is myself and it would also have been nice to get some materials and objects like the springs you jump on that would be nice 2 but alas im rather dissapointed with this pack epic fail 2010-03-22 00:28:00

I think that the costumes look ok now. The colours are better and Knuckles has actual knuckles on his gloves. Robotnik's moustache does look rather fantastic. I wish they wouldn't add the werehog, that screwed up Unleashed. I might not use the stickers but they might offer inspiration.2010-03-22 11:01:00

The stickers in here looks very very good to build a retro Sonic 1 level. Mix the Labyrinth Zone stickers with the Pirates of the Caribbean water and we can start seeing that NIGHTMARE of a zone being recreated. :eek: Seriously, I never completed the zone the proper way; I just used the built-in debug cheat to skip large underwater portions of it. The Scrap Brain Zone Act 3's palette swapped version was worse, too.

I'm not too fond of the costumes, but seriously, the werehog costume? I haven't played the game, but I heard reviews about it.

The EU store usually updates somewhere between 5pm and 7pm GMT. It's ofter earlier (like 2pm) when it's a re-release of existing content, like the recent Leprechaun costume.

Okay. It's actually updated already, so the Sonic the Hedgehog Costume Kit is now available at ?4.79.

N.B. I'm only referring to the EU store, so those in NA will have to wait a little bit longer.

UK ?4.79 / EU ?5.99 / US $5.99 / AUS $ 9.95 / NZD $11.50

$9.95 is the Australian price.

If your store has this at any other price then it's the PS Team looking after the store's fault.

Just got if for $5.99 a few minutes ago. Here's all I have to say:

-Stickers... tons of 'em, but not really desirable (unless you're a Sonic nut).

-Costumes... not that great, tbh. All costume parts look the same (besides Robotniks; Kick-donkey moustache ftw ).

So, if anything... buy at your own risk. xD

If you add the ape escape eyes to it, it looks a lot better.
The hair is awesome and so are the gloves. I recommend at least buying sonic.

They might of made me buy the whole pack.

The pack is awesome, I only have a couple of issues with it though...
-Werehog nose and Sonic nose are the same...so why give us them both when we buy the whole pack?
-Tails headdress could have least been able to be put with hair... just make the ears stick out like Cat ears.
-Like Litled said...it would have been even better if they added sound effects!
Love the rest of it though...lots of useful costume pieces! :3

I finally booted up LBP to see how the Sonic Pack looked, and I got to say I'm pretty satisfied, except for one thing. And that is: Dr. Eggman's costume, and I'll show you why...

http://www.overtimecomedy.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/dr_robotnik.gif

See this? It's Dr. Robotnik, and it's always been in its design that his head must considerably smaller than the rest of its body, even defying human proportions. A Dr. Eggman (or Robotnik as we should call him) with a giant head is wrong. Not only that, it makes his moustache look really stupid. I kinda had the same problem with Stay Puft from Ghostbusters, as he is supposed to have a giant marshmellow body with a small, innocent face. And what the hell is wrong with his eyes?

I'm sorry, but when you make Werehog look like a pretty good character, something's not working.

He did finally make the switch to Dr. Eggman in Sonic Adventure for the dreamcast. Like jump_button said, his name was originally Dr. Eggman but when the game was ported to America his name was switched to Dr. Robotnik. The sad thing is that I could go on for a good page telling you all about various aspects of him since I'm such a big sonic nerd. I could tell you how the Sonic comic has explained the change in name. I could tell you a lot of random things about Sonic it turns out...2010-03-27 01:20:00

I would totally buy this if I could get the stickers alone. None of the costumes interest me, aside from Robotnik. I need that mustache.2010-03-29 07:42:00

these stickers are great for cutting out, just so you know. the pixels, when blown up to epic proportions, are easy to cut around. it's like they wanted us to make sonic levels...2010-03-29 08:03:00

Totally worth it for the stickers alone I have to agree, they should have added some music and/or sound effects. I even went as far as making a Labyrinth Zone based level. <plug> Labyrinth Zone Climb </plug>

Looking forward to seeing any other Sonic-based levels made with this pack.

He did finally make the switch to Dr. Eggman in Sonic Adventure for the dreamcast. Like jump_button said, his name was originally Dr. Eggman but when the game was ported to America his name was switched to Dr. Robotnik. The sad thing is that I could go on for a good page telling you all about various aspects of him since I'm such a big sonic nerd. I could tell you how the Sonic comic has explained the change in name. I could tell you a lot of random things about Sonic it turns out...

Isn't Robotnik Eggman's grandfather?

Oh and I'm totally getting this the next time I see a PSN card.

In my mind he will always be Robotnik, none of this Eggman business.2010-04-02 00:25:00
