Power Gloves and Magic Bags!

Archive: 71 posts


Sorry if this has already been said - I haven't really kept on top of everything lately! But there was an article about LBP2 in my newspaper, and I didn't expect there to be anything new, but they kinda just threw something in there...

New in LBP2 will be "Grappling Hooks and Power Gloves"

They didn't elaborate or explain at all. So I have no idea what power gloves do! But apparently they're going to be in LBP2



Speculate!



EDIT:
This just in!

I decided to do a search on the webz so I could provide a source. I found out that not only will we have access to Power Gloves, but also the mysterious "Magic Bag"!
I'm surprised none of the main sites have mentioned these yet. Apparently they don't read Sony's press releases, because that's the source this website got it from: http://scrawlfx.com/2010/05/littlebigplanet-2-officially-announced-for-ps3



Some other interesting quotes from the article:


compose your own music


Also included are new multiplayer abilities so games can have life meters, scoring, and other elements to advance the types of games available for a social/competitive multiplayer experience, including puzzle games, sports, action/adventure, and more.


And from another source (http://www.411mania.com/games/news/138613/LittleBigPlanet-2-Officially-Announced.htm):


"Finally, the game will feature bonus levels that support the PlayStation Move as well. No word if players will be able to make levels that support the controller or not."

I'm assuming it will let you lift heavy things? And that magic bag... hmmm... maybe you can collect items throught the game, for example, you pick up a torch, you can equip it whenever you want with the magic bag. that would be awesome.2010-05-16 04:52:00

This sounds exciting.

I think you guys are right, the magic bag may be a kind of inventory, and the power gloves probably allow the player to grab dangerous materials

More than likely !

The Magic Bag being some kind of inventory would be nice. It'd pretty much be essential for RPGs, and it'd be cool to add some kind of RPG elements to a platformer or something of the like.2010-05-16 17:44:00

Would the bag be like the paintinator and you pick it up or do you always have it?
Because in RPG's the inventory is something you always have
And how is it magic?

Mm wanted players to use materials to help them progress through the story levels (Create blocks to reach higher platforms) in LittleBigPlanet 1 but this idea didn't find it's way into the game for some reason. Could the Magic Bag be used to store objects you collect to use in Play Mode the same way as you would use them in Edit Mode? This is quite possible seeing as they wanted to implement this into the first game and it would add a whole new dimention of thought in Story Levels. Just a thought.2010-05-16 18:45:00

Hmmm, If the magic bag is an inventory thing I think it could let you be able collect things like keys in one level and then use them to open a secret door in another level, like an alternative to using a switch trigger? I also hope that means that you can carry useless but fun items around with you and place them in play mode like a bubble machine or a musical instrument xD2010-05-16 22:06:00

I just really want a melee weapon
I think with a gun, an inventory, whatever this "glove" is, a grappling hook, and a melee weapon, and we'd now be able to do a lot of cool new things.

I just hope that in the future they'll let us customize our power-ups too...like if I want to stick flowers on the grappling hook or sticker a paintinator with a cheetah pattern. Lol.

the magic bag... huh it kinda sounds creature/sackbot related because you know, magic eye, and magic mouth2010-05-16 22:47:00

I think power gloves lets sackboy move heavier objects. The magic bag, however, remains to be a mystery to me, but I think that you'll be able to store things away for later on in the level. For example, if there's a lake with a small cove on the other end and there is a bunch of vines blocking you from proceeding, the magic bag will let you take the torch from the opposite side of the lake, store it, and take it out when you're near the vines.2010-05-16 23:33:00

power gloves ? maybe MM heard my request for boxing gloves so we can to melee attacks! O_O!

Or another use maybe they let us pick up heavy objects that we normally can't pick up.

as for the magic bad... can I pull a rabbit out of it? :-P

Like someone else said; it seems that a Power Glove will simply make you stronger, so you can push big blocks of metal and stuff.2010-05-17 19:04:00

Can you please edit your original post to include the relevant information? The only thing new is the link to the article that allegedly says something about power gloves and magic bags, but there are no quotes on this topic in the main post. It would be helpful if you linked the article and quoted the relevant portions, and removed any other redundant information.

(This is why we need a wiki. )

Music, UI elements and grapple hooks have already been reported.

If you care to speculate about the use of these items, it might do better in its own thread on the "Suggestions and Speculation" subforum.

Hmm... Power Gloves, when I think power... I think destruction. possibly a power-up that lets you break through (lethal) objects. Seems fairly limited though not sure a powerup would be entirely necessary for that, and I can't think of many uses.

When I read Magic bags I thought it said magic shoes;

Man I'd like magic shoes, they'd be so useful for... magic, that you can wear on your feet. Like... Pedal Magic! Yeah...

You know what would be cool?
Gloves = FF7 elemental powers.
fire + ice + thunder etc...

You could bust out flames with a snap of your fingers like Mustang in Full Metal Alchemist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDSBfywELWY#t=2m27s). That would be so freaking awesome.

I remember seeing a video where the PlayStation Move allowed multiple players to change the environment, such as moving platforms, while others play as Sackboy. Could this have actually been LBP2?

I'm 100% positive this was a Move level yeah. Like there is supposed to be in LBP2. However, who knows if it was an actual build of LBP2 running or not.

See, why wouldn't they call it the MAGIC glove if it moves things by making them float, and why would it be called a glove if you have to have the move?2010-05-21 17:25:00

I think that the glove is actually called "Magic Glove" and the bag is just called "Bag"...

PS. I'd like the game to include Chuck Norris hands!

PS. I'd like the game to include Chuck Norris hands!

Combining the greatest man in the world with the greatest game in the world would cause a new dimension of epic to unfold in the very vast space around our orbiting planet causing a broken record in the space of time creating multi-dimension vortexs to open up around the globe wreaking habit and causing natural destruction.

Bring. It. On.

Am I the only one who imagines an old lady sack putting on her gloves and throwing a hand bag over her shoulder every time I see this topic?

I think the bag would have to be an inventory of sorts. The gloves though who knows.

The PS3 can't handle the awesomeness of Chuck Norris. He however, can "handle" the PS3 with a crowbar

Anyways, I hope the bag can store items(store a sponge block then take out to reach higher places)

Well in the article of the official Little Big Planet 2 there is a quote i'm baffled about "Since the dawn of game, power-ups, enhancements and special abilities have enabled video game characters to go that extra mile, faster, bigger, and better equipped than they?d otherwise be." Than says "So what great game would be complete without them?" So if this isn't a great game (Not saying its not a great game O_O), there should be power-ups, enhancements and special abilities have enabled video game characters to go that extra mile, faster, bigger, and better equipped than they?d otherwise be. As in "mushrooms" that make you grow and maybe even "running shoes" to make you faster. Do you think... O_O2010-06-09 03:27:00

you should stop while you THINK you're ahead...you have nooooo idea what you're talking about buddy.

btw guys

power gloves = carry objects with you and able to swing them (swords?)
magic bag = holds objects in a bag...or carries temporary stickers and prizes and you decide what you want to delete before hitting the checkpoint

chuck norris was actually killed in real-life in that fight. there was one take while filming and only one survivor.
Chuck Norris lives today only because he chose to live after dying.
Can bruce lee do that? i think not

I think you guys are right, the magic bag may be a kind of inventory, and the power gloves probably allow the player to grab dangerous materials

More than likely !

Can bruce lee do that? i think not

bruce lee is the best and always will be the best...and even THEN...Chuck Norris is no match for the Ipman (wing chun master who trained bruce lee)...who woulda slaughtered Norris if he wasn't already dead from old age

so yeah bruce lee and ipman can beat norris easy

anyways im done discussing this...cuz i know lee and ipman are GODS and norris will never win

ok so yeah i'm wondering IF...only IF power gloves are used for grappling items....hopefully maybe we could attach emitters to make a sort of "kamehameha" blast and such
would be pretty epic

hey we're doing what you just did

off topic post on the top...on topic on the bottom...soooo you're doing the same thing..... -_-

and yes magic bags will most likely become an inventory thing

and maybe magic gloves will grab stuff and move them between layers...or possible melee weapon
