Hello!

Here is a video of LittleBigPlanet 2 "Tower of Whoop" which I played at the Gamescom 2010 yesterday.

I created a Gamescom video Roundup with many game footages and booths/shows, too.

Hope you like it!


Here's the link for the LBP2 video:

Nice footage. Although I've seen the level before I'm glad you showed a few costume pieces and how competitive races will become. (I saw you two grappling each other )2010-08-22 20:18:00

Oh dear, that's very disappointing. One of the main things I was looking forward to in LBP2 was the supposed 'better cameras' but I noticed in there that the player lagging behind slightly got 'counted out' exactly as they do in LBP1 now. I was hoping that was a thing of the past.2010-08-22 20:37:00

that's only in story mode

supposedly it's confirmed somewhere here on the forums that you can make everyone have their own camera for multiplayer

so trust me its there...just not for singleplayer		2010-08-22 20:47:00

It's only for local multiplayer, as for online, it doesn't do that. Alex Evans said so on the E3 stage himself.		2010-08-22 20:58:00

There's apparently something going wrong in the forums right now causing multiple posts to do this, so it probably wasn't intentional.		2010-08-23 05:32:00

Yeah the Gamescom was amazing. I will upload a video about the whole event later today. You can watch it if you want

And I have to say that LBP2 has better controls than the first. It "feels" better.		2010-08-23 09:55:00

When you say it feels better, do you mean Sackboy himself or the vehicles you're in? How's the grappling hook? can you control the hook length mid-flight?2010-08-23 10:12:00

I mean Sackboy himself. The grappling hook is amazing, I can't wait to see what crazy things the people will do with it The controls are fine but the hook automatically pulls you up.
By the way: I uploaded a video roundup of the Gamescom with many game footages i recorded with the cam. I update the original post. You can find the link there 		2010-08-23 11:14:00

No, it's just impatient people clicking the post button more than one time when they don't need to. (quote CC from the site news "we are back!" thread)		2010-08-23 15:18:00

That is not necessarily the case. I had this problem today, too, and I definitely did not press the post button more than once.2010-08-23 16:07:00

The controls are fine but the hook automatically pulls you up.

I'm pretty sure that you have control of the extension of the grappling hook using the left (??) analogue stick. It's a bit slow and the min and max is limited and fixed, but I'm pretty sure you do have control....		2010-08-23 16:19:00

Problem is, we've seen this level so much (and it will probably be in the beta) so when we play the full game we'll not even have to watch and we'll ace it!2010-08-23 16:19:00

But do you thnk you'll be able to do it in a continous bubble chain? 		2010-08-23 16:27:00

Yes, your right. You have the full control of the grappling hook. But because of the poweful bounce pad jump the hook will pull you up faster (which felt like automatically pulling up). Sorry for that mistake! 2010-08-23 17:25:00

Don't worry, the game will definately have some levels which are very hard to ace. remember the bunker level from lbp1! that one was tricky 2010-08-23 22:27:00

I see some Kanye glasses and a bandana in there. Awesome.
Anyways, you can quickly reel in the grappling hook by pressing X and adjust the length to your liking with the right stick. I think.		2010-08-24 01:31:00

Kanye glasses

never EVER use this phrase again

they're called shutter shades and were made in the 80s....so yeah this was an 80s thing and kanye had nothing to do with it...except for wearing them

...the more you know... *shooting star with twinking noise*

but yeah sorry to go off topic just hate 99% of rappers and the trends they "start"(not really) that have been around for ages


anyways back on topic:

related to gamescom - anybody notice the music synthesizer is ALSO used as a "logic timeline" in which can be used for cutscenes and such? thought it was pretty impressive...and hoping the tower of whoop uses some impressive logic such as this		2010-08-24 03:56:00

It won't; Tower of Whoop is just a score challenge, I think?		2010-08-24 04:04:00

Actually, like... like the only logic in the level deals with the long side-slammer things. And... It's like only a sensor switch lol.

Nothing else in that level requires any logic whatsoever. XD		2010-08-24 05:27:00

I like the way the NPCs talk to you.

I wonder why Da Vinci insists on calling you Sack thing? Probably because some people were (probably) displeased when the player is constantly refered to as 'Sackboy' in the Marvel Pack, when girls play the game.


But, idk.		2010-08-24 09:06:00

I wonder what the other characters may call you?

Maybe the egotistic Avalon will call you "My little sack"

...Or, you know, Ace 		2010-08-24 11:22:00

No, the alliance creators are not sackbots. In terms of our view they are, but story-wise in gameplay they are not sackbots. The sackbots are from clive's factory of a better tomorrow.		2010-08-24 17:06:00

It has to be, the level has no hiding spots for prize bubbles really.

Still, fun to play. Especially with the grappling hook multiplayer >

The only thing I know about the thermometer in LBP2 is that it's no longer pink but blue xP		2010-08-25 16:01:00

The normal thermo is still red.

Microchip/ sequenr thermo is blue.

It will be the same, but due to new calculations, more will fit into it.		2010-08-25 16:31:00

im wondering if they'll make more colors....that would be a great way to label items that take up thermo....so when you over heat you can see what takes up more and delete some of that

so maybe comm. objects could be green, dark matter dark, sounds/logic micro blue, etc. would be pretty useful IMO		2010-08-25 16:42:00

it's not split like that anymore though.....

Also, is there evidence of the blue being for microchips, rather than just for the music sequencer?		2010-08-25 16:50:00

That is a great idea!
Would also be cool if the item's space is described as:

very low / low / average /big / very big /huge		2010-08-26 14:09:00
