Now really with Sackbots Will anybody make characters for there levels? Or will everybody just join the crowd and all do the same? I just thought this was a good question and i wanted to see what people said

Well if you ever played LBP1 you probably met ton of 2D cardboard sackboy/girls characters, im sure sackbot will kill those for sure but i think they wont kill material build characters (like story mode once) since sackbot can't fully replace them. All in the end depends on creator style

I certainly hope not! The goal was probably to increase flexibility--not stifle creativity.

I would suggest that Granny Gertrudes babysitting center (http://beta.lbp.me/v/evmt) by QueenCherry (http://beta.lbp.me/u/QueenCherry) is proof that characters won't be disappearing completely. I will say there is a lot more flexibility in creating characters with sackbots than there were with the corner editor, so I would think you'll see a huge percentage of characters being developed with sackbots.

I for one will be sticking with cardboard and wood characters, they can really be one of the highlights of the level if you work hard on them.

A lot of the community strive to be good creators. And I believe that to be a good creator, you must have a proper balance. Now to many, like myself, sackbots are a huge advancement. With them, you can create sackpeople like characters that can interact with your sackpeople. But creators will soon realize that they will need to construct certain characters such as human characters and characters of differnt species. They will also need to construct simple non sack like enemies such as animals, ect. I plan on trying to use a balance of all the features lbp2 has to offer. For example, for a quest series I'm planing, I plan on using sackbots as actors, enemies, support characters, and background sackpeople. But they will only be ONE tribe of species in my universe. I will have to construct other species such as amphibian like people, talking creatures, guardsmen ect. For enemies, I plan on using sackbots as sackpeople enemies, creaure brains as enimies I construct, and logic for major bosses. But that's just me. Try experimenting with different styles. Anything's possible. Remember: It's LBP2. Your Immagination. Your World. Your Game.

I have already remixed my two biggest levels, Tenement and Space Assassins, and replaced most of the old characters with sackbots for the beta versions. There are some exceptions like the "two-men-or-a-horse?" monster and the "wheelchair-bound-fungus-in-childbirth" monster from Tenement, but for humanoid characters of normal size then I think sackbots are generally much more versatile to use as npcs and enemies. Admittedly, Space Assassins still plays pretty much the same as before, but there's a lot of stuff that I did with sackbots in the new version of Tenement which would not be possible using cardboard cut out characters.

im gonna slightly stick with the crowd but slightly try to stand out. by trying to make character costumes that don't look like sackpeople. lol hope you make something really spectacular to wow the audience cuz people have already done some like: the wheelchair sackperson a decent big robot and some others i forget at the moment point is many have done costumes that don't even show sackboy in it anymore...question is...what will YOU make? also hoping more people will develop original MATERIAL characters (like the ones in LBP1 and that babysitting LBP2 BETA level) but yeah not talkin crap about sackbots (love them and are one of the most useful tools ever made) but yeah would like to see how creative people get with making characters

I think we are going to see most of the creators of LBP creating Sackbots, as they can be controlled however you want.

Pretty much all my levels that have a story have costume cutouts (awful quality, I suck at making them), so SackBots will effectivly replace those. Plus I'll find more interesting uses for them gameplay-wise as well.

Ive been thinking the same thing, i think i know the answer for the most part. Since sackbots are more versatile and their new, they will be used a lot. I know ill still be making my own characters, its the only thing i do anymore.
