Sackbots :]
Archive: 30 posts
| Possibly the most exciting concept for me, apart from direct control. And cutscenes. M'kay, so I love it all xD But, do you think the sackbots will be particularly customisable, or do you think we can only apply stickers etc.? | 2010-05-10 19:18:00 Author: Fish94  Posts: 554 |
| i think they will be. but first i like to know how the record your own behaviour feature will work. | 2010-05-10 19:35:00 Author: ADS_LEGEND  Posts: 140 |
| Maybe it's like a video camera-esque thing. You know, it records the sackperson's movement for a set time, and then has the sackbot copy? | 2010-05-10 19:41:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| from what i have read they are fully AI programmable, fully sizable, and they can use ALL the costuming options sackboy can. basically, an AI sackboy. They dont have to look wooden either. there are pics of several sackbots looking JUST like sackboys. | 2010-05-10 19:44:00 Author: poorjack  Posts: 1806 |
| I can't tell, my eyes suck x.x But in that case, i'm really excited. I can't wait for LBP2, I sold LBP a while ago but i'm really considering getting it back, I didn't realize how much i'd miss it xD | 2010-05-10 19:49:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!!!  you need to buy it back. its the only game 100 percent worth keeping forever. | 2010-05-10 19:54:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806 |
| I wonder how big they can be? They'd be awesome for a Shadow of the Colossus Series depending how customizable they are. | 2010-05-10 19:59:00 Author: shindol  Posts: 78 |
Well, if there customizable enough to be Turned into a Command & Conquer Clone, then yeah, I think you've got a good canvas to be working with.  | 2010-05-10 20:14:00 Author: DaSackBoy  Posts: 606 |
| Bah, I know, selling it was a sin, but i'm not a brilliant creator, so I got stressed and had to sell it xD As for the SoTC idea, that sounds so fun :] | 2010-05-10 20:53:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| Yea. It was a sin. repent. buy now! | 2010-05-10 21:00:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806 |
| Anyway, it'll be ridiculously cheap anyway, so i'll be able to get it easily enough :3 | 2010-05-10 21:06:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| yea! and then you can send me a friend request cuz ive made it a point to play more online since ive started my "retirement" from creating. | 2010-05-10 21:08:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806 |
| I will, once I get it back x] | 2010-05-10 21:20:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| What I'm really wondering is if you could attach connectors, sensors, and all that sort of thing to sackbots, even as sackpeople look-alikes. | 2010-05-10 21:49:00 Author: Darth  Posts: 186 |
| Perhaps x] What would you need connectors etc. for though? | 2010-05-10 21:56:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| Well, you could have a sackbot suspended from the ceiling, attached to each other, attached to objects, etc. Say you've got a level where you're using a sackbot as some sort of dangerous animal, like a bear. It could run after you, but be restrained by a chain. If you've got horror levels, you could have them with chains on all their limbs. The chains would get tighter and tighter until they rip off/the sackbot breaks/some sort of snazzy effect is thrown in. | 2010-05-10 22:16:00 Author: Darth Posts: 186 |
| Ah, I see now :] Sounds cool, i'd imagine you can attach stuff to 'em. | 2010-05-10 22:30:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| As far as I'm aware, you can do these things to sackbots (will add to the list if anything else comes up) Use all costume pieces on them Sticker/decorate them. Control them with control seats Make them hostile (enemies) Give them special abilities, like double jumps or super-strength Assign weakspots to them Make them follow/flee from/ignore sackboy (simple AI controls from LBP1) Make them scared of heights Record/program their movements and AI Give them custom-recorded sound effects As for their abilities, I believe they can grab stuff. I'm not sure though if they can use power-ups. ^^ Just take a look at that list. With all these options the possibilities are endless! | 2010-05-10 23:10:00 Author: Holguin86  Posts: 875 |
| I could see someone make a level/game with the Sackbots as small NPCS in a town! | 2010-05-11 01:30:00 Author: cstb  Posts: 5 |
| I notice something interesting, i think Sackbots will have inputs for logic circuitry same as control seats have outputs, just look at this pic: http://www.meristation.com/v3/pop_up_imgs.php?id=cw4be3e2ba6d07b&idj=cw4ba8db7a9bf47&pos=28&pic=PS3 This sackbot is controlled by control seat and even garbing the material! It might be by simply puting it on sackbot... but hopefully you can so something advance by logic circuitry  | 2010-05-11 01:52:00 Author: Shadowriver  Posts: 3991 |
| I get the feeling, when it comes out, i'm just going to sit creating thousands of sackbots and messing around with them xD Especially because you can use direct control, so you have pretty much pre made mech bases 8D | 2010-05-11 20:02:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| there is also an option called "monster head", not sur what that is yet. quessing its some sort of giant/deformed head :S but in there trailer when sackboy goes into the room and there are lots of sackbots, there are some with out of proportion limbs. | 2010-05-11 20:08:00 Author: samalot  Posts: 591 |
| Yus, the possibilities seem to be endless, which I very much like the concept of :3 | 2010-05-11 20:20:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| I love the idea of them so much, just the whole ability to make them look like an army, follow you, copy you, be controlled by you. Also kinda reminds me of a drawing of a robot I drew like half a year ago (maybe more) http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6651/screenytalktothehand.png | 2010-05-11 21:12:00 Author: Psibat  Posts: 27 |
| See, you could make that. Have it so when you get close, it lifts it's arm up and puts an angry face on, and just have it only say "Talk to the hand." That just proves how cool it it! | 2010-05-11 21:14:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
| Main goal with sackbots.... Completely copy the thriller dance and reenact the whole thing | 2010-05-11 21:40:00 Author: Psibat Posts: 27 |
| I don't know custom animation will go that far | 2010-05-11 21:48:00 Author: Shadowriver Posts: 3991 |
| I don't know custom animation will go that far Of course it wont be perfect, but I'm sure arm movements will be included and it wont be hard to copy the dance in a way. | 2010-05-11 22:31:00 Author: Psibat Posts: 27 |
| Lol, Imagine a fake check-point that spawns a sack-lookalike when you pass it. It would surley get on the nerves of some when they pass by a checkpoint in OC (if they have it for LBP2) and a new player pops-out and follows them.. | 2010-05-13 02:00:00 Author: Schwem00 Posts: 255 |
| Baha, that could be annoying. | 2010-05-13 16:48:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554 |
