Toys in Pod?

Archive: 67 posts


What I think would be cool is if Mm could make a selection of toys you can put in your pod to play with by yourself or with friends. I always find myself looking at my pod and think... Man this place is empty. It wouldn't hurt if Mm could possibly make bouncy balls or rubber ducks to add in your pod... Or maybe even a basketball hoop!2010-08-27 13:03:00

Pods are rather small though, are they not? Though I suppose they could put in some hand crafted arcade games to play.
Plus, not everyone spends much time in the pod, so it'd be extra coding and items for little use

watching movies in your pod would be awesome,wouldn't it?

Like invite your friends to your pod and then you start the movie,a projector in the middle of the pod and a big screen above the dualshock controller

it would be SO AWESOME !

You get to choose to play your own videos(I HOPE YOU CAN) or they give you some to watch ..

Uh, no, the LBP2 Pod is NOT small at all. Remember the screen is full-screen now? And the ground is some unknown land-mass? But then again, it could be the same as LBP, because they showed an LBP Pod with different backgrounds.

On-Topic: Awesome idea, i always get bored in Pods, when no one knows what to do.

Off-Topic: This thread's title made me think dirty..

You sir, is wrong.

The pod will go "Fullscreen" when you choose levels and stuff.
BUT! When you go away from the controller, its just teh good ol' pod

And the off-topic thing, why did you post that? Its not THAT interesting to hear about your head of wild imaginations.

They've shown it only goes full-view once you select a planet (my moon/ craft earth) but the pod itself its still about the same as its been, check one of the latest videos they show it there. ( I think its in the 30 mins presentation video.)

Why don't we add some more squeaky rubber ducks that boing around in a highly unlikely way, a HD display for Your Own Mohviez, a complex arcade game, Real Watorz as option...

...and they cry about loading times 3-4 times longer than now?

Yeah, I realize that it's the same as LBP.

And you can't change who i am, if that's how I think, and it bothers you, i don't care. At least i didn't SAY why it was dirty, and if i did, 50% of the people here wouldn't know what it means.

The desk in the background in this pod is the same desk that is in the background of the Techno Renaissance levels.

I'd love that! It'd be awesome if you could make your own little chairs in create and that and put them into your pod too. But toys would be awesome anyways. Like Sackbots to jump around the play with the controller.

I'm also really glad nobody said how they think this would affect the lag online, nobody cares about that in a topic!

Loading times will be much longer with the new backgrounds anyways... No harm in doing a little more coding right? Maybe there could be a limit with how many toys allowed in your pod... Like 2.

I'm all for it, I usually run back and forth to see how far I can make the pod swing if I truly don't know what else to do, or if the host said "brb"
Having something to play around with would be nice, it would also add to the personality of each persons pod if there were multiple options, it would be fun to see what people chose.

Yeah this would be funny because if you had a good pod with lots of stuff to do in people would wanna join to play around in your pod

there should be a way to make like platforms or something so that when you enter the pod from the top you ride a "happy slide" down to your controller!

id like to have the game pong to the pod where you can play with friends or there can be a mini arcade machine where you can play certain games you can unlock in story mode when you play a game it will go to the min arcade machines screen and all you see see the screen and the first player starts the game when ready.2010-09-01 12:01:00

See, this is the problem with your generation. You can't entertain yourselves unless it's right in front of you. If you don't have anything to do in the pod, figure something out. Get up, get a drink, imaginate! Toys in the most useless part of the game isn't necessary.

Personally, I think that my post above is a far more interesting observation than this idea.

If you can place and tweak create mode objects and powerups i'll be happy.
I could make a basketball game where you use the power gloves to carry the ball and bounce pads to get the height to score a point!

I think it would be nice if there were even more customization options for your pod.
Just now we can laydown stickers and decorations - but maybe allowing some objects from the create mode to carry over - or a "Pod Create" mode to build some things in your actual pod (even if the pod itself had a teeny - tiny thermo bar - so not much could be added.... it'd still be enough for say, for instance - Hover Boards - or Basketballs, Swings *who knows what else*.

Anything to make your pod *even more* homely, would be a bonus.

Of course, if it doesn't it's not the end of the world.

Having fun in a pod would be using your time in the pod to find another level. I've never decorated my pod because it's simply the menu screen. It takes up like 3% of actual gameplay. There's no reason for it.

There's nothing I like more than showing off my stickering skills by making awesome themed Pod designs. They are doubly awesome if themed around your current costume... such as my Hitler at the Nuremburg Rally design, or Batman & The Batmobile
I've even been invited to other peoples pods to do designs for them, so impressed were they with my own pods.

You actually spend a LOT more than 3% of your time in the pod, and it's a shared space that your 3 sackbuddies also get to experience. It's where you chat and hang out in between playing and creating.

it's where your Sackboy lives - it should be as impressive as possible, as it also leaves an impression on anyone who happens upon it.


Publishing/Sharing Pod designs is quite a nice idea

Hmm Pods is where people like to chat the best at....
i should know i have chated to friends for over 3 hours at a time while in a pod...
me my self i like to chat while in a level more its cooler and more adventurous feeling... :3 but then again sometimes
me and friends run out of ideas what to look up and just stay in the pods for a bit...
and the pod also again ends up being the main place to chat because when you go in a level everyone trys to rush to the end T_T
i like to slowly enjoy levels i don't know why so many feel the need to rush
and a lot of the time not even reading anything the levels says
when theres a story moment etc, but as soon we are back in the pod everyone calms down and starts chatting. :o *mew

Publishing and being able to let people download your pods would be cool... although we would probably have D4D like MNR....
@CoasterFreak We do not have to have fun in our pods, it would just be a small add-on for people that seem to find themselves with nothing to do and just swinging the pod back and forth, you do not need to add the toys to your pod if you do not want them just like how Mm doesn't force you to sticker your pod. I agree the pod is like the menu of the game and the menu isn't really a place to add stuff you can interact with, but the pod is a place that people can just relax in and possibly play a little game with a ball without competitive scoring.

What im trying to say is, what is you run into a situation where you have played all the levels out and you and your friends have nothing to do ( And no one feels like creating =D) ?

Thats normaly when the host leaves LBP for a bit and plays another game, xD
but not in my case as i just end up chatting for a while untill im in the mood to look up levels again~
But yeah i'd love a small hand full of games to add to the pod. *mew

These backgrounds are both from the story mode and change along with the craft earth. You probably can't choose the background except by choosing a story theme and instead of going into a level, just stay in your pod.

...hm. It's interesting to watch threads devolve into fights. Seriously, why do many people on the internet have ZERO TOLERANCE for ANY opinion that differs from there own, even something like pods in LittleBigPlanet.

But the best thing for a pod would be a little micro level with maybe half or a fourth of the thermometer (or more). That way, your pod could be like a little house, and using the level linking system, all of your levels could be linked inside it. That would really be something.

stop diving into my mind and stealing my ideas > lol but yeah that's something i had in mind too....ever since i played Demon's Souls i thought how cool it would be for LBP to have the Pod a little bigger with customization options...and be able to link it to some levels online so it could REALLY be like a little HUB

You're both wrong. Now be quiet

Seriously though, leave this guys thread alone. He just wanted to express an idea that he thought was interesting, and it is interesting, you've both (all) proven it by continuing to argue over it. I personally don't think it's a bad idea, it would obviously not be mandatory if it were ever implemented, so what's the big deal? This argument has done nothing but make a few people angry and bury the original topic under comment after comment of useless bickering.

Maybe in the future if you don't agree with someone's opinion, you can state your own rather than telling them why they're wrong. I'm not pointing a finger at anyone, or placing blame in any way, this just seems to have gotten off topic.

I'm stepping in here to say that the next person to come on here and argue is going to cop the same infraction that is headed to those who have been acting inappropriately. You'll notice I've culled this thread right back. Now, if you have something to add that is constructive, please add it. If you disagree, then simply say "I disagree" AND MOVE ON. OR don't even participate in the discussion at all.. even better!

I do not understand the mentality that some of you have where you can't restrain yourselves from (or even worse, find some warped enjoyment in) knocking others' ideas and putting them down if you happen to disagree. This is simply a thread about an idea, it's not Mm debating what will and will not be in LBP2, so relax! All of you!

And if I have to come back here and waste more of my afternoon editing people's off-topic rants, the infraction points will roll!

i put an arcade machine from the Lift Off level into my pod using the old POD Capturing glitch, i no longer have it since i had to reset my profile but as far as i know if you have the Pod item you can still perform this glitch. Mm will surely have fixed all this by the time retail comes out but for the minute we can still put bounce pads, sackbots (emitted), gravity tweakers, lights, and anything you can think of building (including complicated logic chips) into your Pod.

Unless this has been fixed since i last checked, all i know for sure is that im using a Pod with no sides that i made with the glitch still and it works fine

I believe this is a good idea. You could unlock pod items through the story and have a limit of them like 6 or something.

EDIT:
By "limit" I meant amount you can have in a pod at a time avoiding toy spamming.

This would be a brilliant idea! It could give you a break from all the adventuring, even though that's already what it's supposed to do, it can get pretty boring just looking at a few stickers.

I'd love this addition.

Oh yeah! And a little juke box at the side that you can flick through tracks, either in game or on the system! (In game would be better for copyright issues, and would reduce lag).

As far as i'm aware, it's already possible to listen to music in the pod from your HDD, in the options somewhere. I've actually came round to this idea recently, providing it doesn't cause much lag it'd be quite a nice addition to play games etc.2010-12-21 18:15:00
