What We Know So Far

Archive: 434 posts

Thanks to Aya042 for compiling all of this. We will add more as more is announced.

For those concerned about the authenticity of the LBP2 'rumours', I'll start by quoting a post (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=26431-Little-Big-Planet-2-featured-in-Game-Informer-June-issue&p=460435#post460435) from Spaff_Molecule (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?4469-Spaff_Molecule) who as you probably know is an employee of Media Molecule, so the following is likely to be accurate information...

We are making LBP 2, it's official as you've seen, and you'll get to see lots more about it on Monday!
I can't tell you more right now than you can find on the internets I'm afraid, HOWEVER! Because I see a lot of panic stricken people on here, I just wanted to let you know a few things to stop the panic!

Magic mouths are not gone, Basically nothing is gone, only improved upon or added to - how else would this game be totally backwards compatible with everything that you have already made, played and bought

I've said Enough! - See you on Monday

The denial of the rumoured removal of magic mouths from LBP2 stems from the following quote from a post on NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=21162112&postcount=214)...

LittleBigPlanet 2 Game Informer June 2010 Issue Information

Context about the first LittleBigPlanet

The first LBP was never intended to be a simple platforming game
Over 2 million levels available online
About 56,000 new levels per week on average

LittleBigPlanet 2 Information Starts Here:

LBP 2 has less of a focus on platforming altogether and it's more of a platform to actually create games with
There is an all-new level creator and it is not just a tool to create platform games.
As examples, the game 100% encourages the player to create game types and wants you to make a shooter, a racer, puzzle games, Space Invaders clones, even RPGs
A player can even customize a HUD. The example given is a health bar for a fighting game.
A Media Molecule developer has created a fully-functioning Command & Conquer Clone
Media Molecule loves that a lot of user-created levels in LBP1 were homages to classic games and laments that so many manipulations of the creation tools were necessary to do them. Sackboy won't need to be "hidden behind the curtain" when you make games with LBP2.
There is a new super-important creator tool called "direct control seats"
(from previous point) In LBP1, lots of people made rudimentary "hold R1 to accelerate" vehicles. Mark Healy created a car out of rubber wheels and a bottle, then placed a direct control seat in it. He pulled up an interface that resembled a PS3 controller and assigned commands to buttons.
Example given was assigning Sixaxis tilt for forward and reverse, horn on the X button.
You are no longer limited to the game's stock sound effects. You can record your own sounds and voices, attaching them to characters or objects. Magic Mouth from the original LBP is gone
Direct control seat's control scheme is instantly accessible and you can attach it only to the part of the vehicle you want it to control.
Example was given about the 8/16-bit remakes/tributes having to use the signature gameplay mechanics of LBP. That is no longer true in LBP2. A creator can place a direct control seat on their own platforming protagonist and complete it with a customized control scheme.
Example of the previous was Yoshi's Island. If a player creates the perfect recreation of the SNES-era jump they can share it with anyone in the community.
There is an in-game microchip that functions as a calculator and it is a direct response/homage to PSN user Upsilandre (seriously, he's mentioned by name)
Enemies in the original title could only be programmed with super-basic commands and most resembled marionettes.
Users will be able to take a template for an enemy called a Sackbot, tweak the AI and dress it in any way they choose.
Creators can choose the weak points on the Sackbot, determine if it is scared of heights, and even program acting routines.
A disco scene was set up by Media Molecule and two employees recorded together on a single Sackbot. They moved its arms and bobbed its head in a dancing routine. JUST the AI was copied and pasted onto twenty different Sackbots. Each Sackbot was given its own unique look.
There are now movie editing options as well.
Every LBP2 player will receive their own profile on LBP.me. It will display your activity feed as well as previews of their own stages
There will be user-created integration in QR codes as well. They can be printed on advertisements, business cards, and automatically load a level when held up to the PlayStation Eye. There is no special menu to do this. Any time the PS3 is turned on and running LBP 2, you can wave it in front of the Eye.
If you are not near your PS3 you can take a quick photo with your smartphone to see an online preview of the level and add it directly to your level queue.
For creators of multiple levels, you will be able to string your stages together so that they flow from one level to the next.
Sackbots can be drastically increased or decreased in physical size.
Sackbots can be controlled by direct control seats as well.
There is a new gadget (like the MGS paintball gun). It is a big-*** grappling hook.
Media Molecule says explicitly there are multiple more gadgets coming.
All DLC from LBP1 transfers over to LBP2. Including downloaded content packs, costumes, etc.
There is a major overhaul to the story level as well. There's the same 3-plane perspective for the story mode and the levels so far have a similar run-jump-grab platform style.
Storyline is not country-based like last time, but is based in periods of time
Here is a list of levels and summaries so far:

Techno Renaissance: Whimsical alternative take of the Renaissance period. Leonardo da Vinci-like character to guide him through a technology-based twist level
Steam & Cake: Steampunk-style level based on a ****ed-up tea and cake party
Neon Propaganda: Cold-war era posters line a factory environment where Sackboy is liberating oppressed workers. There is a grim nature to the level that is totally opposed to the neon lights and signs.
Fluffy High-Tech: Various high-end technology equipments like video walls are mixed with bunnies and fluffy sheep. It is a cold, futuristic environment populated by adorable creatures
Designer Organic: Eco-architecture comes together around a designed and controlled version of nature. Described as "art noveau". The closest to nature Sackboy gets in this game. Elaborate designs comprised of plants.
Hand-Made Arcade: A super-tribute level to tons of arcade classics. Embraces the hand-made art from the first game. Pixels made of cardboard and wood.

Circuit boards (like the calculator) can get extremely complicated and they have a very distinct interface
Creators can make full-on cutscenes. Camera angles and voice-overs included. Creators can even make little five-minute short films. These levels are clearly marked on the stage select screen so you can tell whether you're watching or playing the level.

...however, since the point about the removal of magic mouths has been denied, there could be other inaccuracies in this information too.

We'll apparently be getting a formal announcement on Monday, but until then, discuss away...

Edit #4 by Aya042

A couple more updates:-

First of all, Tom_Molecule (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?4416-Tom_Molecule) has just confirmed on LittleBigWorkshop (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/Screenshots-of-LBP2-from-GameInformer/m-p/249122/highlight/true#M134313) that the images we've seen so far are representative of in-game graphics, and not just promotional renders...

Are you forgetting these are just renders and not actual in game screenies?That's in-game.

/shuts mouth.

Secondly, we have some additional information from issue 215 of Edge Magazine via a couple of posts from plasmavore (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?423-plasmavore)...

OK, so I just picked up EDGE magazine, which also features LBP2.
There is tonnes of information and at least 3 new screenshots in it. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner. :/
Maybe someone with one can pick it up and scan it for others

EDIT: EDGE says it will release in Winter :/

EDIT 2: I will post new information from the article here :

-Grappling Hook

A powerup in the mould of LBP's MGS DLC, the grappling hook is thrown out with R1 and attatches to any grabbable [so sponge etc] surface until you let go in the same way a grab would usually work. You can reel it in and out by pressing up and down on the stick, and also swing, your tether flexing with a satisfying 'boing'.- There are BOUNCE PADS
- A HUUUUUGE visual upgrade ^_^
- Level Linking 'Badges'

Place the new level-linking 'badge' in your level and you can seamlessly transport players to another. Useful for building multi-level games as well as for collector types to create level hubs for great levels that they've found

MORE INFO FROM EDGE:

-You can make Sackbots harmful (electrify, fire etc)
-You can grapple sackbots
-Microchips work like so: Once you place them, it projects a space in which you can build logic etc. When you are done it minimizes the logic and store it inside one little microchip
-Colour filters for certain areas, eg x-ray
-Instead of sliders in lighting and sound menus, they have percentages
-It IS possible to record something and apply it to a sackbot

-If you program a sackbot to follow you, and then jump into a vehicle, the sackbot will catch up and jump in with you.
-You can use direct control seats with sackbots
-Cutscene cameras are now white... (Seen in a screenshot)
-You can program sackbots to hang off things
-New hazard: Laser
-Direct control does control momentum, so no unwanted shooting up into the air
-Photos on lbp.me will be the oens posted on the level itself
-Usernames on lbp.me will be PSN names
-New torch/flashlight lighting object (Just looks like one, sackboy cannot actually hold it)
-You can place decorations and stickers on your planet

-There will be a facebook-style 'stream' (possibly lbp.me) which will show highscores, hearted levels etc for each player
-So far it is 4GB extra content (will get bigger).. Meaning it is too big for a patch
-If they were to make it as DLC it would be VERY expensive DLC. (Last 2 points for all those 'Is LBP2 necessary'-ers)
-There are cool Futurama-esque green clear tubes which suck Sackboy through them

And I think that's all the new info from EDGE. As I said before, I don't have a scanner so I can't show you all the awesome new screenshots but if someone has a scanner and buys EDGE, they could possibly do it.....?

Holy guacamole. Those images look spectacular! And being able to transfer data is an added bonus already!

Though, it does make one wonder if a background editor will be added... (too lazy to read through everything)

Also, will pre-made objects/costumes/stickers transfer as well? That'd just double the value in itself.

I love Sackboy's new smile, too, that can be seen in a few of the pictures, like the arcade one!

Will there be more expressions??

EDIT:

With such an endless reach, it won't be long after its release in the autumn before someone, using LBP2, creates an entire new genre of gaming.

Autumn!?

I posted about this in the other thread, but no one commented...

I past it here again :

Looking at that art picture, I was thinking if the pod like we know will still exist....

Why is there that arcade machine with the planets/levels gravitating around it?

Do you think it could replace the pod, like a new way to navigate in the game? I'm just wondering...

Why nonsense, my sweet, little tot!

The whole "anti-LBP2" thing will probably just end up like the "anti-L4D2" revolt; it'll just fade away and provide some good laughs for the media.

I'm starting to feel as though LBP was just the "testing phase" for LBP2...

i hope the pod doesnt exist anymore....but a huge platform where you can make your own furniture and objects to place around this platform and add walls to it and such....would be awesome if you could create almost ANYTHING ANYWHERE

It was made of wood and cloth before though? It looks the same, except for the colors.

Well, from what I see, I've always thought that Craft Earth was completely made of cloth. That, and if you look at Africa, the blotches have rings around them (just like polished wood).

On the old Craft Earth, the ocean was wood painted blue. But your right about the the newer one, it's all wood!

Is it just me or do all the screenies seem to depict a LBP that seems so... STERILE

i read somewhere in the OP that there is a nature level, is there any pictures of this? One of the many charms of LBP was that it was imperfect,lopsided, it had personality, thats why these screenies bother me a bit. It would make me very happy to see some some pics containing some of that same messy charm

people can still make a "messy" LBP with old materials...tbh i always wanted LBP to be a more realistic game...material wise like i wanted REAL GRASS and REAL WIND and REAL WATER and everything to be like it is in the real world...of course sackboy stays the same....so thats why im loving the new fluffy material...put a green sticker over it and helloooo realistic grass

we can have our cake and eat it too ladies/gentlemen

Oh ma gawwd! This all looks spectacular. I can't wait to see how this will turn out. At first the idea of a LBP 2 sounded a bit bad to me but...this is encouraging to want to play this

One thing I hope they add is some kind of logic that saves a piece of those microchip things which you can put in another of your levels. So if you have two published levels, and you pull down a sponge from a cliff, the micro chip from that first level knows you pulled it down, and saves it to the microchip. And then in the next level, if the microchip knew you pulled it down from the first level, it would start out with it pulled down (Or emit it down).

Whoa, you're not kidding. Some are hard to see, but there definitely seems to be new stuff there. I'll dig in and see if I can find any concrete new stuff - but with the release being only 5 and a half hours away, kind of just spinning wheels at this point! Either way, good find.

EDIT: Whoa. Whoa. Okay, here's an example of how you might expect a "top-down" game to look, with what appear to be direct-controlled fuzzy caterpillars on some furniture.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1322/4594232597_1c903090da.jpg

Cutscene camera controls! Includes following tweak settings:
3x movement controls - _______, Local Space Roll (???), and Camera Shake
Timing Controls
3x Focus Controls: "it's a movie" (yes/no), angle/field of view, and depth of field (AWESOME!)
Trigger Controls (rest is cut off)

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4023/4594228757_69ebdc1863.jpg

I just want to post this one because of the extremely awesome cityscape structures here.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3640/4594229455_9587ef41cf.jpg

I'm assuming this is a movie in action, complete with wider screen (letterbox) and subtitled storytelling.

The end of H4H?

Perhaps, PERHAPS, the beginning of *4* or S4S, but I have my reservations. I have faith that MM has put an end to "favorite" high scores and trophy rewards for trading hearts (stars?).

EDIT: I must just make an observation on the sub-forum setup. With the game this far away, maybe just one subforum - a "LBP2" subforum, all by its self, would be a better bet until closer to its release? I'm finding it difficult to constantly be switching between the forum where new photos are posted, and the forum where aforeposted photos are to be discussed and dissected.

I'm becoming really exited about that cutscene feature!
I can really see myself doing little music clips, or little animated stories...

Do you think we could launch a level, and just watch it like a video,
without playable sackboy appearing, any gameplay or button to press...?

Did they reworked the actual backgrounds visuals or something..? that would be cool

Yes! It's confirmed in the Game Informer article. In fact, you can create short films up to 5 minutes long - there's no playing at all. You choose going in whether or not your level is a dedicated "movie" or not.

When browsing the community for levels, the levels are clearly marked which ones are playable levels and which ones are sit-and-watch movies.

Yes.

This makes me very... VERY happy inside.

I already have 2 movies I want, and will try, to make. These will probably be my first LBP2 levels.

This image excites me. Look how the wasp thing is attacking objects on another layer behind it. Can't wait till the 2pm emargo is lifted...I just wonder if there is anything else left to reveal today? *prays*

Oh, I think it's very safe to assume there's more to reveal. I'd expect to see the first trailer. Ideally, I hope to see something like an explanation-video (or 4) of the new features.

We'll probably learn exactly what "Magic Glove" and "Bag" powerups do.

We haven't seen water or if there are any changes to it.

We haven't seen any complex logic.

Grant has hinted that there's one "big" thing still to be revealed.

The movie tools look great, there's options for camera shakes and rolls. I'm really encouraged by the idea that they're taking the stuff that needs a lot of faffing around to set up and making it a ton easier. I wonder how much thermo the new logicboards take up? Is it essentially just a visual overhaul to make it less overwhelming and confusing, or is it a way to also free up more thermo so you get more room for the good stuff?

I would DEFINITELY assume that there's a major thermo overhaul here as well. The logic doesn't seem to be at all physics-based anymore, and all logic boards using the microchip tools now exist in their own "holographic" dimension. What I would expect is a dedicated thermo just for logic. I'm thinking it would take a DOOZY of a setup to fill that bad boy. BUT, we still haven't seen what kind of gates will be available. How much can we work within the microchips and how much might we have to create the old-school way? not going to know until we get a handle on exactly what switches and gates and tools will be included.

I think it might be the opening scene to the "Neon Propaganda" world. I'm thinking the main purpose of these levels is to get you familiar with sackbots and how they work and behave.

The filmmaking tools and cutscenes like this have got me quite excited.
I'm REALLY hoping they've got some videos showing off the good stuff.

See what I'm saying? More like Sass_Molecule.

Okay, just wanted to drop in with this - it's not really anything new, but it does answer some of the questions that have come up over the weekend:

"This was originally going to be the one feature in LBP2," Media Molecule technical director Alex Evans told the new issue of Edge.

The mag describes the new SixAxis Direct Control Seat, from which players can create their new worlds.

"It allows you to invent your own control systems, essentially," added game director Mark Healey. "It means you can pretty much make any 2D game you can think of. I've even thought of faking some 3D games."

So to be absolutely clear, the game is still totally limited to 3 playable layers. they're not going "sandbox" editing a la Modnation Racers, so if you want to do something fully 3D sandbox-style, that's not going to happen here, but if you've ever dreamed of doing something that could have been cooked up during the 16-bit era, today is your lucky day.

Anyways so in other words, no 3D? what if you transfer a 3D level?

No, no, this has nothing to do with the layer glitch. The game is 3D. I'm merely referring to the fact that there was some question about whether there'd be a fundamental change to the camera, or some additional expansion to the playable game world. Not the case - it's the same old LBP, with 3 layers. Consider it 2.5D.

I hope theres potatoes and Waffles, And CHicken and Fish, and Eggs and Socks....oh wait SOcks? 8P
But anyways there will be more food bits im hoping instead of banana, apple etc like in LBP1.

(and btw Socks taste good with hot sauce

)

So its a good thing but it wont be exaclt like the usual 3D thats like 100 layers to make stuff you know?
Instead limited etc...

And Cheese. What sort of MM game would it be without cheese?

Anyone else think they will choose something else to name their updates after. There are only so many cheeses.

There are only so many cheeses, but we have a big list of well over 100, so we wouldn't abandon the cheese list just like that

- besides, when we ship a patch we all eat the cheese that we name it after, we'd definitely need some kind of tasty replacement.

oh my it's quite close to 2pm isn't it.

So to be absolutely clear, the game is still totally limited to 3 playable layers. they're not going "sandbox" editing a la Modnation Racers, so if you want to do something fully 3D sandbox-style, that's not going to happen here, but if you've ever dreamed of doing something that could have been cooked up during the 16-bit era, today is your lucky day.

So finally I'll be able to make Deflectorball exactly how I wanted.

Should be awesome with no gravity and direct switch controlled deflectors, not to mention possible AI Sackbots if yolu're on your own.....

O_o How about breath mints.

But actually I live near a cheese factory. Walk past it on the way to school. Our school sometimes gets a bit cause we supply 70L of milk every week. Only a bit but still, it's nice.

How sick will everyone be if absolutely nothing happens at 2pm? The new lighting in the backdrops looks great, really sets a mood. Can't wait to get into the editor and play with these new tools, agh, too much suspense, really wish cryonics was advanced enough so I could sleep while MM work their little bums off and get this game on to our shelves!

(cause of the thermo) but most importantly cause you can only have 20 levels :/

Does anyone know if that will change in LBP2?

Yep, yep, that trailer certainly had the magic.

Those rats... how the... Those rats were amazing... I have to watch the rats again. Scuse me.

Okay. Okay, those have to be pre-built and ready to go. There's no way those rats were made with the game's tools. Right?? Those are just pre-made rats? Surely they come in the "furry high tech" world.
Anyway they look amazing. freaking amazing.

The whole thing is incredible. I've watched it thrice, many more viewings will follow... I guess the wait continues for the secrets behind microchips, bags, magic gloves, and the other goodies.
Alright, 6:10 a.m., and that's bedtime for me!

The floating cassette tapes seem to follow a path too, this just keeps looking better and better!

This could be completely because it's a trailer but around 1:22 someone falls off screen and the cam doesn't budge.. maybe the camera doesn't bug out anymore when someone goes out of range. maybe even own screens, agh! In fact I'm convinced we have our own screen because race type top down things just wouldn't work otherwise.

There another example of something following a path for animation, 1:18 ish. This is too exciting!

1:25 blocks disappear without dissolve smoke.

More layer switching but not observed. 1:35 we see a cage type thing in the background, it's open. Go back to 53 seconds and there's a closed looking cage with something bobbing around in it. My guess is it's a sackbot and at 1:35 the one(s) in that cage were freed and jumped down to join sackboy.

55/6 we see a load of characters, there is something in the top right though. Not sure what but it disappears after shrinking and floating a bit to the left. Could be able to dynamically scale things up or down.. Also at that moment top row of characters, third across from left. Not sure what to make of his animation. Unless the user had very nimble hands how could you record an arm movement and facial expression and head movement? Could this be a preset animation? It makes little to no sense as an animation though lol unless thrusting your arms downward and licking the air means something..

1:15 breaking glass blocks?

1:29/30 new brain death? Visually it looks nicer to me, maybe I just didn't pay attention before though! There's a noise that occurs too, different from what we have now. I'm hoping it will be like you can set a sound for the death noise now in tweak menu. And choose silence if that's what you want.

Oh man, leave it to MM to fill a 31 year old man's veins with the girlish glee of an entire class of Japanese school girls.

Bravo MM! This is gonna be the stuff of legends.

Anyone else think there are a whole bunch of PSN game developers trembling right now? lol

For creators of multiple levels, you will be able to string your stages together so that they flow from one level to the next.

It doesn't actually go top/down does it. It's just the illusion of doing so by using the new gravity setting. I now understand the ability to create RPG's. This game is gonna be the best game since...... LittleBigPlanet.

Well, it says at the bottom of the LBP2 site that it'll be coming 2010, so it'll be december at the latest. I'm thinking a Novemember release is likely, 2 years after LBP1 was released.

I have a feeling our girlish glee will be responsible for many dancing sackbots. I can't wait until I can put them on the dance floor.....then flood the place! lol

In the Space Invaders scene, is it me or is the ENTIRE CANVAS rotating? I can't tell if that's just something they did for the trailer. There also appears to be a remake of Breakout with the glowing bricks actually breaking.

LOL after like 20 times of watching the trailer i just noticed how insanely updated the camera effects and angles are now wow, you noticed in the scene where the sackboy is like running and a green path lights up along the way, you also noticed this on the View change etc and there a section where some huge monter crashed into a wall, and the camera angle adapts itself to make it look like some cutscene it looks amazing

I first thought it was bad because we would use all our lbp1 creations but its 100% compatible so thats awesome i feel much better now!!!
I love the new cinematic tool and the sackbots with AI!! We will not be making levels but GAMES!! I cant wait until ill finally be able to play this! Btw i wonder if the sackbots take lots of thermo though because i plan to use alot of them in my levels.

and i hope they compromise the Thermo alittle i hope it doesnt get in the way alot like in LBP1.

Gonna be careful just to talk about stuff in this trailer

The camera certainly is better in LBP 2, I didn't get a hands on but Johnee pulled off some pretty cool illusions and mock 3d with the sackboy walking to the left and appearing to be walking backwards without the little hops you normally get between layers. He also made some really sweet gravity tricks where the sackboy would keep walking along a platform and when he hit a wall he would start walking up it. The more advanced creators shouldn't have to touch the 3d layer glitch anymore if they can be crafty with their cutscenes.

The singleplayer is going to be alot better than before. Now MM know people can be creative expect to see more of a story and a higher grade of levels.

Direct control is exactly like the seats you get on GMod for those who are familiar with that game. Slap it on a surface and a circuit board appears allowing you to link up button inputs to pistons etc. We saw a cool frog hopper that had been made which is obviously the focus for the style of its usage (vehicle controls) however imagine putting it on a completely hidden screen and using it for RTS controls, Greed Corp (PSN game) could definitely be made using this tool.

The AI we didn't see at all apart from a trailer we were shown. I did ask Tom about this (therefore any inaccuracies are on his head) and apparently you can act out with your sackboy what to do and the AI will copy or go for the old menu option. You can dress them up in your clothes (so all that DLC clothes annoyance will turn out to be a great boon in LBP2).

So at least I can vent some of my excitement; I'll wait for future trailers and see what else I can talk about in the future.
Trust me this game is going to be amazing

Here is what I've gathered from the trailer so far. These are just my observations and I could be wrong.

-Objects can now move across layers

-Materials can break into pieces

-Sackboy can emit some kind controlled projectile

-There is no Pod, but instead just a platform and controller that gives you a better view of the planet.

-There are objects you can destroy that display points.

-The little winged ship appears to be emitting a new projectile, not a blue light attached to anything.

-You can now get a overhead view of Sackboy.

-This is gonna be the best game EVER!!!!

Actually there is a pod it was leaked and confirmed by some sony something, there gonna be showing the beta of it on this years E3 so yes there is a pod maybe different but there is a Pod, other than that judging by the trailer yes everything else looks like it, though im not sure if you can use sackboy overhead i dont know but ive only seen that while he was on a vehicle or a Digital Puppet Furry thing, but idk could be i hope so, i love the idea, imagine

how perfect a level based on Metal Gear Solid or Grand theft auto would be if you could use your sack overhead

wow

Oh that green magic light thing? arent those lights? i dont know if you look closely it looks like if sackboy is sliding through there while the camera angle adapts to the movement and it makes it look really cool like some cutscene or something, and while he passes the lights turn on, like idk maybe sensor switches or something.

I wonder how the RPG feature will work? Because i made a RPG series in LBP1 (seriously it even has a final fantasy battle system and talking to diffeent people in towns to continue and all this sort of rpg elements..) but i am wondering how you could make this more professional, i dont think we have seen anything from this feature yet... Also in the trailer there was a mario cart - like race with view from above, a space invaders -like game, thats just epic. I heard you can make FPS and fighting games too.

Also this one is extremely awesome i think you can assign commands to buttons on your controllers for the players

Sorry, I can't bring myself to read all this thread to see if this has already been mentioned.

? I saw sackboys doing flips in the air, during the grappling hook sequence.
? I also noticed a material being dissolved -or at least dissapearing- which was not dissolve mat, during the cat hitting wall bit.
? Quick play has been removed.

Yeah, it might only be possible for the vehicles, but since they flat out said we can make RPGs with this thing, I'm guessing there will be an overhead sackboy view that allows us to walk around. Wait, wouldn't that mean it's possible to have overhead sackbots too? You could have some sackbots get into your car with you!

That sounds pretty good, i already i imagine a classic like over head view RPG, in 8-bit style and everytime you get into a fight the view changes or something....idk haha im going crazy thinking about it XD i cant ****** wait

wow
It looks to me like you have to make your level look as if it is top/down by creating it on a vertical wall, set the gravity setting to anti-gravity so your created vehicle/character won't fall. Hook your vehicle/character to that new control seat thingy, set the controls for the vehicle/character and off you go. The reason I'm thinking this is because the levels are still 3 layers and you can't build those race tracks in 3 layers.

November?! Dude, that's my month man! well, at least i can count on someone getting me this game... and i confirmed it, the green sackboy's skin moves!

I downloaded the 720p to my Ps3, and i obsereved it.... his skin moves like he has bubbles inside him!
one thing though that bothers me... Why remove the pod? why not improve it? like mkae it with video screens for people to enjoy? And on the subject of that... if u look in th evid, the sackgirl is infront of a cool screen in create mode, there's like a swirly portal effect!

This game is by far the only game i will play till the end of time!

If i have to, i'm selling my rare Virtual boy thing to buy this game... i've had thing in it's box for far too long now, time to get rid of i XD

True, and by the looks of how those race levels looked in the trailer it doesnt look like just 3 layers to me, so it was most likely created like up a wall or something, how ever unless its a Global setting or idk, it didnt look like it, in the trailer the camera just changes which is weird, and Gravity ive seen its a Global Setting unless theres a Gravity switch or something similar.

I just can't get my head around how immense this game will be. I mean we're being given a chance to create any 2D game ever (between side scrolling and top down) LBP style.

Just imagine some sitting down and recreating a LBP version of sensible soccer. Or maybe a tower defense game. Heck with the sackbots involved you could have a full topdown F1 race around Monaco with 20odd other AI racers on the track.

My only concern thus far is the tweakable jumping, in which case there's no universal standard and you'll have to adjust to each levels parameters. Then again, maybe it'll will be more instinctive in practice than it sounds in theory.

I thought other than jumping high (maybe because of gravity setting), i imagine maybe objects floating in place or something, or like your sackboy would not move or run in normal speed instead due to gravity he would like move slower or something, could be but we still dont know what the gravity setting overall stands for.

Well, general physics would be affected, so I'd be amazed if objects didn't float in place during 0 gravity - that's sort of the definition of how gravity works

By implication, gravity would affect friction, meaning that in a low gravity environment, landing your sackboy would be slightly more troublesome, as might getting up to speed. That's what I'd expect to be the basic effect of gravity on the game.

This 31 year old's been filled with girlish glee, too, except I'm already a girl. LOL.

I think there's a trend here... I happen to be 31 as well and also share in said "glee."

(I was about to search for some random anime images of "ecstatic Japanese schoolgirls" to post here but quickly thought better of that idea, especially since I'm at work. For now, this will have to suffice: ^-^)

Could it be that there is class of Japanese schoolgirls somewhere right now sitting in class completely emotionless? We've stolen their glee-mojo.

Probably, I'd imagine most of the world is thoroughly depressed and doesn't know why: it's because there is only so much happiness in the world, and we're clearly using it all up
