Rise Against's "Re-Education"

Archive: 36 posts


Well I finally did it. I finally had the patience to sit down and work with that silly music sequencer. And I think the end results are pretty astonishing Using a tuner, electric bass, electric guitar, an MP3 player, and several hours of my time; I have successfully made a Little Big Planet 2 rendition of the hit Rise Against song, Re-Education (Through Labour). It's the full song written with the exact same notes as the original song and as much of the drum fills as I could figure out. And since the thermometer wasn't close to being full, I decided to act out the official music video that accompanies the song.

Without further adieu, the Punk Rawk Bots would like to present... Re-Education (Through Labour)

Enjoy!

Wow.. gotta love the fact that I've only recieved 3 plays for my level that I've spent 2 days creating. I'm getting really sick and tired of this broken sharing system. I propose a fix to the way levels are broadcasted... creations that have an alotted active creation time of 24 hours or more should be given an INSTANT BOOST to the front pages. I mean cmon... "FREE COSTUMES AND OTHER STUFF" is the number one level and all it is is a bunch of point bubbles scattered around and stupid costumes that someone made in a couple of minutes? Really?! Ugh...2011-04-17 14:09:00

i know its messed up, but its not the sharing system, its the people using/abusing them. if you have a bad level like free costumes bombs sharks, there have been those btw. the littluns will play for an easy giggle or free item. and heart accordingly, rather then go into an amazing level that takes dedication. and about making a new share system, its a well thought topic that everyone suggests an answer for. but the truth is, anything that can, will be abused. 24 hour idea = bad. they will go as far to leave there sytem on for days to cheat the level to the top... qif your level really is good... heres the way i believe is the most fair and intelegent way to go. have your friends and peaple you know play and if they liked it ask them to pass it on to there friends. your name will be spread that way. on lbpc they have a cool system called f4f you play there level from the f4f forum and they wil try your level and help spread the world. so if your level really is good, try some of these. good luck.2011-04-17 14:22:00

Well I proposed a 24 ACTIVE clock. It would definetly help a ton and nobody could really abuse it unless they honestly wanted to sit around with their friend in an empty level screwing around for an accumulated 24 hours lol. If so, then even then they might end up creating something interesting rather than the child who creates a scoreboard, a cutout of a sackperson, and stickers hearts everywhere.

Passing the word on to your friend would be great if I kept a long list of friends i'm not actually friends with. My friends list contains only my real friends and one player I met in a different forum who has helped me in the past. Even had I spammed a large list of friends, it would have only accumulated about 20 more plays at most.

As for the feedback for feedback system, that doesn't really help at all. Using that system, i got maybe 4 people total with my last level and fewer before that. And yes I left feedback for several other players to the point where I had to change the battery in my computer's mouse...

So yeah.. to put it simply, the system they created is certainly flawed as I've found more advanced levels by playing what my hearted creators have found. The only reason THEY find the levels is because they play the game religiously. GOOD levels should be made easy to find by ALL players, not just the pros. Therefore... Yes.. Media Molecule.. you have once again disappointed me XD And I have once again created a masterpiece that only a handful of people will actually witness. Like Jaslow above

Changed some bad camera angles.

Note: I'm currently working on making Savior now. This is loads of fun to remake these songs lol. I don't care if this doesn't get popular anymore cause these songs are just fun to listen to



OOooh.. and did I fail to mention? If this level does by some miracle happen to reach 1000 hearts, then I will reward everyone with a prize containing both Re-Education and Savior AND a bonus song that I won't reveal

Yup, i'm at the clean guitar part now after the bridge, going into final chorus. That bridge took me forever to figure out. Lots of complicated rythms for this game lol.2011-04-18 01:55:00

I thought it was cute. I liked the little bunker they were in. Only thing I can suggest is making your city more detailed, and decorating your sackbots more, to give each one more of a personality and individual look.2011-04-18 16:29:00

Thank you for the good feedback Hammer. I'll definetly look into it. I tried to minimize the detail I gave to the sackbots but adding a little more shouldn't hurt. Also the city was a last minute concept I put in based on the ending of the actual video where the highest tower in the cityscape explodes, so I put in something really simple to show it's "little big planetness" if you will lol. But yeah I could add detail to that as well if it helps


Note: I have just finished the vocal line, rythm guitar, and bass for my next song level "Savior" from Rise Against. I plan on making a much more in depth music video based entirely off of the official music video. I'm looking at the entire Music sequencer right now and it is literally a quarter length of an entire empty level lol. This song is much longer than Re-Education XD I had much difficulty with the slow section but now that it's all together it sounds great! Idk if I'll get lots of plays on these, but heck, i sure like listening to them XD

The most important thing, is that you enjoy making them. Plays and hearts are secondary.2011-04-18 23:00:00

I finished "Savior" but I'm not so sure I should bother publishing it. This level has only recieved 23 total plays after being released 3 days ago and I've advertised it on two websites... Another creation I have wasted my time on clearly.2011-04-19 18:55:00

Thanks for checking out my Contraption Contest Seal Sub entry, and if you're interested in my real platformer levels, they're linked in my signature below.

The song is well recreated, and the 'music video' adds so much. In my opinion, levels like this raise the bar for music levels, and anything without some sort of visual effect is lacking. There's nothing wrong with what's here, but maybe you could add some visuals outside of the bunker, such as a couple hints about the upcoming doom of the city. Regardless, watching the sackbots rock out is fun.

*Takes on a gruffy voice*
''-Oh my God I love this song...''
My second favourite song in Guitar Hero/Rock Band games. Of course Guitar Here Van Halen doesn't count.
Anyway I check this one when I have time. I shall queue it and play it later.

lol favorite song in Guitar Hero? Ok then lol, didn't know it was even in those games but thats cool XD

But yeah I agree with you Hoplyte, in the official music video for this song, the shots switch in and out from the band to the people planting the bombs. I thought about doing this but ...yeah.. lol. I got lazy XD Plus I was really just trying to showcase the song and the visual element was just a last minute concept. I'm working on "Savior" now but can't figure out what I want to do for it. I started by recreating the official video, but now i think i wanna do something more like a sldieshow with really well done pictures

Hey, I did play your level and left a review. I really liked it, and juist like what has been mentioned, a couple minor details could use some buffing up. Funny thing is I have been in the process of making a music video level, but with Ozzy's song, Crazy Train. I just finished it today, but I can't publish it because of the PSN being down !!!! I agree that the system isn't that great I have published a couple levels one of which I think should have recieved more plays, but hey I did enjoy making them.2011-04-23 04:04:00

Uuurgh.. and now playstation network has been down for 3 days and probably destroyed my chances of this level EVER making it to the cool pages or whatever its called in the game. That sucks... oh well, maybe I'll have more luck with my next music video "Savior" which sounds even more awesome XD2011-04-23 17:28:00

Can't wait to see Savior, another cool song. I see your post also got bumped to the cool levels forum? Does that mean it's in the cool levels on LBP?? Kind of strange how that would happen, but hey it is a cool level/video.2011-04-23 23:32:00

Nah, your level gets on the cool pages here at LBPC if it excedes 2 pages of comments. There's no way my level is on the cool pages in the game because that system is just completely broken. Instead of my hard work and effort to capture a real song... the "Gummy Bear" song was recorded using a mic and its one of the most popular levels.. and he didnt even DO anything. Epic fail...

While it may not be related to the actual level, I thought I might as well share this because I'm too excited to hold it in...

Only 2 more days till I get to see Rise Against live in person!!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!

Ok....now that I have that out of my system.

That's pretty good though to get on the cool levels here, I would imagine, if PSN were up and running, you would be getting alot more plays. As far as recording a song with a mic, I thought that was pretty much a bad thing to do because of copyright laws and what not. I had thought about doing that with a song, but after reading some posts about that I decided against it.

Nice. So i make this level hoping to get lots of plays and love. But alas.. the playstation network fell apart and there's only 200 people left in the little big planet servers.... fail... time to go back and play fallout for a while.2011-05-16 04:11:00

Hey, I placed a level link in my level of levels hub to your level, hope it helps. I published my Ozzy level the night PSN came back up and it ended up on the cool pages within an hour. But after about a day and a half the plays slowed way down. I have been trying to promote it a little more, maybe try to get MM to notice it. I put up a vid on youtube today, hopefully that helps a little. Still waiting to see savior though.2011-05-20 01:14:00

Well This is cool, this guy named "Fredrik Pedersen" actually recorded this level and posted it on youtube to help bump the level. There are some really cool people out there. Thank you very much Fredrik Pedersenmanjensen!!!

Here's the link for all those people who were too lazy to play this in LBP and give me a boost in ratings XD

Hey great little band you've got there although i'd say tart it up a bit by giving the sackbots more clothes or decoration as they are a little boring to watch.
Also some lighting effects would be good.

Overall great song i don't know the band but i like what iv'e heard. Good Job.

Like you i also hate the way the LBP system works. I have put months of effort into my games yet no one hardly plays them.
I especially hate it when they play one of my levels and say its goodyet rate it bad just because i hav'nt mastered the controls for it.
Wish this "Fredrik Pedersen" person could do the same for me.

Hearted your level.

Don't let the ratings get you down, man. A lot of the best stuff on LBP goes un-noticed, it's just the way it is, unfortunately.

Lordwarblade- Yeah i wanted to keep the bots simple because they were a last minute idea anyway, the level is really just to showcase the song I put together. Clearly not enough people have heard of Rise Against XD

Bovrillor- Meh... I feel like wasting 60 hours on a level just to have 60 people play it is a waste of time Fortunetly my Bubble Bridge level is getting more attention, not sure why. But I can sense it too will be lost in teh wastes of LBP forever

For all the fans of this level, my new one has been released. This time it's of "Savior" by Rise Against!

I just finished the sequencer for "Give it All" as well. Working on a music video for it now
