I noticed in the latest creatinator featurette that a certain part of the Cakeinator story level had received a huge upgrade in visuals since Gamescom, and thought I'd post these two images to show how much of a difference the art team has made. http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=26209 http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=26210 The first image comes from the creatinator demo at 2:31: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhv-I2rQMLI and the creatinator featurette at 0:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFSC27hIX1g

Wow, I'm glad they changed it, looks a lot better now.

Well duh, you didn't really think they were going to leave it like that, did you?

they turned nice blue granny cushions and frilly doilies into.. flat dark wooden walls and a cupboard? I hope they didn't get rid of the buttoned cushion. I could use that for a padded asylum cell.

I think they're prolly backwards.

I dunno, I sort of liked the original. The two look like they could be two seperate themes.

Maybe they're trying to do what they did in LBP1 - make each level look different to the others in the same theme.

IDK, I think I liked the prev one better. Yet the second one has a more polished look... I'm confused. I'll tilt towards the previous one because Beveled Copper never looks pretty!

Meh, I think I liked the first one better.

Hmm, maybe a poll is in order?

I dunno.. are we sure it is the same area in the same level? I see some things kinda line up, but then other stuff I'm not so sure about.

It probably is, because as you said most areas line up, and it is also obvious that both are from the victorian cake theme. And even if it is a different theme,(which it isn't) a poll would be a good idea. Right? For those of you doubtful, have a close look: 1. Both have a little platform that swings down at the very right. 2. Both have flaming walls on the left. 3. Both have two platforms with point bubbles. 4. Both have a bubble above the bouncepads(in the newer one the gas is seen. 5. Both have a cupcake monster although one is upside down. 6. And finally, both of them have the "cakeinator."

I agree, the new one does look worse in comparison looking at those tiny, tiny images. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFSC27hIX1g Watch the full size video and you'll realise it actually looks pretty cool.

I agree, the new one does look good in the trailer, where all the details are visible, but I'm just saying that MM shouldn't completely replace a theme.

Visually they are completely different. The first one looks more MM like. I like that one better. Second one looks kind of ugly imo.

Ew. The second one is disgusting. Glad they fixed it. Slime, fire, wood panels? Great Job art guys. Never been let down I guess they wouldn't leave it as something like that.

Err... the second one is the new one... sorry :/ I quite like it though. But I quite like most things. I'm not easily disappointed, I'm just happy LBP2 is coming out at all

I am not convinced that those are pictures of the same area. Things look way too different. And if it was just a change in small designs wouldn't the backgroud still be in the same place. The background images are so completely different from each other.

It might be a different level in the same planet, or just a different area in same level.. Or the same level, and the cushions are used elsewhere.

Hmm.. I think I prefer the first version. (If it is the same part of the level, that is) I just always thought of the Steam and Cake area as being all clean, white etc with pretty doilies on the walls.... I don't think all the fire and dark coloured materials suit the levels. Maybe it's the final level in the area, and the kitchen's caught on fire or something. *calls people who have already played some story mode*

It's probably to fit in with the context of the story mode. I spy little pink wobbly arms and blobls... Could this be the influence of the meanines? 0.o

There's way too much... pink... going on in that second picture. I really don't like that Mm is overusing those pink meanie decorations. They're just ugly. EDIT: To address an earlier comment, the level is Steampunk-based. From what I know about the art style, it's not supposed to be clean, bright, and angular. Steampunk is more dark, gritty, and complicated. I just wish they'd dumb down those decorations.

I just liked the first one because it was so Soft, and fit the cake theme. I also don't like kow many levels in story mode are being made bright pink because of the meanies. I wish it would be at least a darker shade, so it's not so obnoxious. The second theme has a look of blandness, the only interesting thing being those teacups. The spongy surface is delicate and has the complimentary white ruff. It would be nice if MM decided to maybe mix the two to get an even mesh of soft and solid. That was my speech. And if MM decides to keep the new look, I will make a level like the old look, just to have a little something that looks good. Edit: One good looking thing on the new one is the reverse cupcake enemy which looks less friendly and comical and more menacing. It has a meaner look as the sharp tapering part is seen, and the cute "cuddly" round top is hidden. Also, it has SPIKES!

I <3 the new one, it looks like an actual oven!!

I didn't even recognise the level! The background has changed, so they've moved it too.
