New functionality?

Archive: 21 posts


Hey just something I noticed on MM's latest blog update.

http://littlebigplanet.us.playstation.com/image.axd?picture=sackboy_sheets_03.jpg

In the second image, sackboy seems to be carry a block above his head... yes he could be swinging but his arms aren't stretched like the first image.

Maybe I'm completely wrong but this could confirm what I heard in 1UpYours (1up podcast), at about 14:30 where Shane Bettenhausen mentioned that he heard there will be an early patch that "fixes things and gives previously unannounced functionality".

It's highly likely I've been reading into this far too much...

Yeah, you just might be over thinking this one. lol

It would be cool though. It could definitely help improve moving objects.

you could do that in the beta although it took some skill, you had to do a full jump with polystyrene and then as soon as you land go under it so you could get it over top of you and on the other side, it is really hard to balance this but it is good for getting a block up steps, that is what i think what you saw in the video someone doing that and flipping it over his or her head, i figured this out and it was used in some levels in the beta

Cheers!

This could be possibly for people who can have two or more people . In some place you do require two sackboys/girls maybe this is for those people. Im guessing but still great find could be anything but still would be awesome.2008-10-18 04:26:00

Sure, anybody can throw a box over your head,

but it's keeping it up there that takes skill.

That would be really cool. I'd like to see a "throw" feature, could add some really cool new ideas.2008-10-18 04:35:00

I'd love to see that implemented. I've added that along with the re-instatement of the ice danger into my wishlist for the first big update.2008-10-18 07:37:00

That is probably a concept drawing when they were working on designing Sackdude, doesn't mean new ability

MM folks have said before they probably will patch some of the controls (z plane movement especially) issues that reviewers/beta testers have talked about. Would make sense to patch that asap.

I swear I saw a video of a sackboy carrying a fish. If I had a link I'd share. It was something I saw early on in my sackboy addiction.2008-10-18 09:29:00

You could already "pick up" light objects like that as shown at E3 last year.2008-10-18 19:36:00

I remeber that video too he just changed directions or something real fast to get it on his back and then he could run with it...right?

I think the 'previously unannounced functionality' is more likely to do with:
-Moving between planes
- Finding levels/ level ranking system.

Here you go, it was the E3 2007 trailer.

But i think they've said before that this had been taken out. They defo have said some elements of the game have been taken out but can't exactly remember if it was.

It would be cool if you could carry and throw light objects though
First on my list would be a polystyrene rocket launcher that has an emitter that throws out explosives. ANYONE FOR LBP-COD

I'd rather not have that feature in. Simplicity is best.

I can't remember. It's been a while.

I wouldn't mind being able to carry something. It would open up quite a few more possibilities. A lot of people requested this too.. so who knows.
