Noticed by Joeli (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/t5/General-Discussion/OMG-the-Punisher-had-a-Gun/td-p/290462) Checkout this pic I found on marvel.com. Apparently the Punisher originally had "a toy gun", but for some reason they took it out before the release http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/content/resized/712320e40de83112eb8a77f2d9f267e3.jpg http://marvel.com/images/804314.LittleBigPlanet_Costume_Pack_4_poster/from/content.videogame.107

They've always said "No Guns" for LBP to keep it family friendly and as far away from every other game as possible. Of course they made a concession with the MGS pack - & that's why that fires harmless paint rather than lethal bullets. A toy gun would have been nice for so many costumes... but *shrug* oh well.

As macnme said, Im sure they had to remove because of ESRB difficulties. Tis a shame, as Im sure many players would love to have that as a costume peice. I guess we still have the car parts, right?

Sackboy's... a doll? I dunno. Personally I can survive without the gun. Don't know about everyone else.

If you want to be a mindless zombie and not be aware of real issues. Well, I just think, for starters, the government has things they can't tell us, and truthishly, we should just accept that.

So, just to clafiry for everyone.... Swords, Spears, Sai & Cutlasses are all ok... presumably because you have to garrote someone up close and personal with those weapons, rather than unfairly shoot them from a distance. And you can burn, electorcute, gas, drown and explode your sackboy - because it's cute... but no shooting him ok? And you can also dress him up as mass murderers from history like Genghis Khan I hope that's clarified why we aren't allowed toy guns

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they sold thos in that place 'round the corner -_- presumably because you have to garrote someone up close and personal with those weapons, rather than unfairly shoot them from a distance. And you can burn, electorcute, gas, drown and explode your sackboy Kids have acces to electrified/ burnt/ lethaly gassified surfaces, and exlosives all the time, for sure. (also, keep in ind everyone knows those are dangerous in real life - because it's cute... but no shooting him ok? And you can also dress him up as mass murderers from history like Genghis Khan I hope that's clarified why we aren't allowed toy guns You have any idea how many kids have accidentally shot themselves? Its not to laugh... In words, guns have killed more people, specially YOUNG people this last decade than all the others combined, so yeah, still wondering why? And yes I know, it may seem overdoing it not placing a plastic gun in the game, but they're trying to attract younger people to guns the least possible. Yes, I agree, some costumes would;ve been better/ cooler with it, but do keep in mind the massive number of small children playing the game.

I think not having access to guns, i.e. no gun in your home, would be a lot more effective. On topic: Meh. Maybe they scrapped the gun because it looked ridiculous when he was holding a paininator.

Media Molecule are (or were) a British company... we do not have the same gun control issues as Gun Crazy America. And how many children were killed last year by Toy guns? Precicely Zero. Now look at the games market and tally up the amount of shooters released - or games that contain an element of shooting - why is it so taboo for MM to join in (the most crowded gaming genre)? An easy way they could get around it - call it a water gun... problem solved. It's the same trick they used with the Paintenator (and don't try and tell me *that* hasn't been used as a gun by the LBP community)

2010-08-19 10:01:00 Author: Macnme Posts: 1970

The difference between an average shooter and LBP is that LBP is a game for 7+ people, where Im pretty sure most shooters are 18+ or atleast Teen rated. I personally wouldnt want 7 year old children learning that guns and fun. And I cant possibly imagine why people who are old enough to use guns would want a toy gun for LBP anyways. <,<.... P.S. Im pretty sure someone died last year from a toy gun. Some kid could easily swallow and choke on any kind of toy.

The standard fair military shooter - sure that's 18+ ; But an alien invasion game - doesn't Toy Stoy 3 even have laser guns from Buzz LightYear? so no, not all games that contain shooting elements are over 18 - alot are U rated. And if you "cant possibly imagine why people who are old enough to use guns would want a toy gun for LBP anyways" then all I would say is - Imagine harder. I can think of SO many costumes that would benefit from having a cool looking AK or Assualt Rifle or Pistol. Now because it's LBP - they wouldn't be 'usable guns' (we'll let the community make their own - which they do in their 1000's) - they'd be cardboard cut-out guns... just like a child who uses a twig and pretends it's a gun. We already pretend that the paintenator's a real gun - so I don't see the conflict with releasing a fake costume gun. Edit: There is NO choking hazard from a 'virtual' toy gun --- loosen up

MM doesn't want to take the risk. Theres no risk, you just gotta run it through with ESRB to make sure, but i have played a E game with a toy gun i believe it was on Sega dreamcast :o

Yes, I agree, some costumes would;ve been better/ cooler with it, but do keep in mind the massive number of small children playing the game. Though a gun is more dangerous, a weapon is a weapon. We already have hazards where sackboy can get burned, electrocuted, disintegrated in gas, or vaporized in plasma. There are lethal knives, buzzsaws, and shuriken. Media Molecule has already put out references like the night club in that one meerkat story level. Numerous story characters are half-naked. The recurring pattern of violence and weapons in story mode include the moon ray gun in the Marvel levels. Is this ok for an E-rated game? I personally think so, but that's another topic. I just think a plastic-looking gun costume part shouldn't be that much of a concern considering all the other things in LBP that ESRB watches out for. It even has the orange tip like a BB-gun has. Maybe they scrapped the gun because it looked ridiculous when he was holding a paininator. Venom's tongue is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen

Id be more okey with a gun that kills you than a gun that is harmless. There's a difference between something that looks like a gun and something that looks like a Tube of Toothpaste shooting paint, If you get my drift. The problem is that it looks like a gun and is harmless, because it teaches you that a gun is harmless, which is not the case. :o It would be cool to have it in a game, but I can see the logic in why its not ^^

Well, in everyone's defence, Kids do know what guns a for. Are you telling me that you never had a plastic gun as a toy, even when you were very little? This is true, I remember playing the story and wondering how they got away with meerkats going up and down on a pole XD And what exactly was happening at the beginning of the level Boom town? Now tell me that's not suspicious!

Why is this even a problem? sure it be fun to have it but is it really needed? you could... i don't know... just make a gun out of decorations etc like a lot do :o *mew don't know about you but some of the user hand made guns are really awesome, a DLC is not much needed, we'll live without it im sure.*mew

Ohh now cmon! They could've atleast of added a orange cap on the end of the gun!

That would of been a nice piece for sackbots in Lbp 2. but I guess it wasn't family friendly, so I guess they took it out.

That would of been a nice piece for sackbots in Lbp 2. but I guess it wasn't family friendly, so I guess they took it out. I completely agree, I could definitely see a cutscene showing sackbots in the bank depositing money and workers saying "thank you" and then all of the sudden you see all these sackbots dressed up like mafia storming in wit that gun and then you hear sound effects and hopefully there's some animation to make the sackbots fall down like they're dead. I'd say they'd shoot bulets but of course it's a costume piece, not an enhancement and they've stuck to paint for bullets. You could use the creainator but the bullets should come from your gun, not your head so that's why I said just some shooting sound effects and then they fall down.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the green goblin holding a pumpkin bomb? Admittedly it is made up and looks harmless, but it is still just as referential to real life as a toy gun, especially with all of the hysteria surrounding bombs in the world. Just my little bit of input

2010-08-25 17:11:00 Author: Fish94 Posts: 554

Yes, he is holding a pumpkin bomb ( well more of a grenade) but that is not any less violent than a gun. so I feel like they should of kept the gun. but u still got to think, it's a kids game. >

2010-08-25 20:48:00 Author: DrPepper96 Posts: 65

Yeah, but despite being more like grenades, their actual names are pumpkin bombs. My point is that I can't see why a blatant toy gun is any worse than a pretend explosive or a pair of pretend Sai - they're all weapons in their own right.
