5 New Levels, A "Paintinator" Powerup, and New Trophies

Archive: 50 posts

Looks like there's some awesome new content coming in a Metal Gear Solid pack for LittleBigPlanet, including 5 new levels, new content to collect, a Paintball Gun powerup (lovingly dubbed the Paintinator), and a bunch of new trophies! This should definitely expand the possibilities in LittleBigPlanet, and make for a much more creative experience. No price or release date has been announced as of yet, but we'll update as soon as it has been. Since Sony has already updated the official trophy page (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/09/18/trophies-littlebigplanet/) with this information, the content probably isn't very far away. Keep your eyes peeled for this, it'll be a great addon that you won't want to miss out on! The full list of new trophies is below.

Call me a trophy whore all you want, but I can't wait to get some more trophies. >_<

At least we know now that there will be such huge packs as this. and then the Paintball gun... never thought they'd add guns to LBP.

Hopefully it will only unlock it so you can use it in Create mode, and you won't need to buy this pack to play levels with it in...

And it seems I'll get the Snake costume after all! It will probably be prize bubbles in these levels, same as the other ones...

And a Metal Gear REX boss... I don't know, it's just awesome that it's pratically confirmed (I WOULD be suspicious if it wasn't for the trophies working when comparing trophies with other users after the updates- but since that does work, it's true all right. =D).

They're on the trophy list when you compare with a friend, I havn't seen them posted on any of the news sites but you can see one in the screenshot in your post.

SWEEEEEEET! can not wait for this one

hahahahaha

i sure do hope that they bring out more of these in the future, (maybe they will keep up the content like Criterion games did for Burnout Paradise) maybe bringing back ol crash bandicoot as a costume or having themed levels after him. this one and future ones are going to be GREAT

there's 3 of these threads ........
But they are each in separate sections, and for different reasons. This thread is mainly for nonmembers, actually. It's formatted for the front page. There's one in News Submission, which is good because it prompted me to get this thread up in the first place. The one in LittleBigPlanet News is for you guys more than anything; that's why that forum is open for new threads, unlike this one.

Please please please let us use the gun in creator mode, lol me and my brother are each making levels this would be awesome in.

One of the trophies is given for using it in a level you publish, so it's pretty safe to say you'll be able to use it. 2008-12-19 02:15:00

If a level is published with the Paintinator - does that mean that I can't load that level unless I purchase the update?

That would suck tremendously. Even for $ony. So maybe this update will be free?

I think it's quite likely that you pay to use it in your own levels. I'm sure levels with the paintinator are available to everyone.

Really, by letting this out I think they're trying to draw attention away from the fact that they didn't manage to get the Image Import tool in yet. What happened to before Christmas, hmm?2008-12-19 04:18:00

Possibly. I still like the idea of using the proceeds from costume sales to fund making gameplay changes like this free for the rest of the community. Oh who am I kidding, I'll buy it anyway. But still, would be nice way to do it, eh?

Hey so next week's update is coming on tuesday because of Christmas, am I understanding this right? (If so... AWESOME, Christmas is officially on the 23rd this year!)

Lol, totally right IMO, but like others have said, MGS is an acceptable trade off

Stop reading and watch the video. Don't worry, we'll wait. Done that? Good, now that you're sufficiently excited about the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 LittleBigPlanet DLC packs we can give you a few more details, courtesy of the PlayStation Blog. There's a lot to cover, so pay attention.

First, the character packs, which you've already seen. They're $1.99 each or $5.99 for all four (essentially giving you Raiden for free). Remember how we were saying we wished the "level pack" actually included a level of two so we could collect all the goodies as we progressed? It looks like we got our wish -- and then some. The level pack contains six new levels and a lot of booty. Not to mention the Trophies which were revealed yesterday.

Inside the level pack you'll also find a new costume (Gurlukovich soldier), 72 stickers, 12 materials, 10 decorations and 18 objects. Not only that but there's four new music tracks (one background and 3 interactive), a new sound object, a new "plasma ball danger element," a new "laser sight gadget" and a functioning searchlight. Oh, we almost forgot about The Paintinator and the new switch that comes with it. All this can be yours on December 23rd and it'll cost you $5.99.

This looks incredible. It really is a "game-changer" as Alex said. This adds so much more to LBP its ridiculous.

Shoot-em-up gameplay? Enemy health tanks? New hazard material? I cant wait to get them and make stuff from them! The bosses we'll see in User Levels now are going to be amazing.

This alongside the recent patch to search and moderation and I want to kiss and make-up with MM after I've been quite surly with them.

Just checked that link, thanks supersickie. I was super-excited about this but after reading all that I just can't contain myself lol. New decorations/stickers/costume and of course the levels make this an instant buy. Not too excited about the objects simply because I make everything custom 2008-12-19 13:31:00

Wow I thought it would be really expensive, but 5.99$(I guess it's 6? for us Europeans) is a great price for so much content 2008-12-19 14:36:00

Oh and by the way, I don't know if this has been clearly mentioned, I admit to not reading every post in here, but to repeat if it has been said, the level pack is 6$ and the costumes pack (4) is 6$ also... Could be the best 12$ I'll ever spend!

Wow. This is just amazing. Even mroe amazing than the last time I said that. I wonder what the Laser Sights and Plasma Balls will do.

Mm is really outdoing themselves, can't wait to see the updates we'll get after the initial launch problems are sorted.

Pics here (http://www.littlebigplanetoid.com/article/lbp_mgs4_level_pics_hit_the_web_-_more_awesome_that_possibly_imaginable). It looks like the plasma balls are kind of like a lethal version of that floaty stuff which keeps going in the same direction when you move it. Or maybe it's just a light material that self-destructs upon impact?

The laser sights look to be a trap of sorts - line of sight based though, so if you get in the path of a laser sight then it'd set off a laser sensor? If it allows interaction/detection of moving objects as well as sack people, then that would make for some amazing machinery. If lasers go through glass or bounce off tin foil that'd be huge, but I expect they don't.

hey guys i have a prediction

Christmas this year is on a Thursday (on all thursdays the PSN store is updated), and this content is likely to come out then, but in the mean time, i think i will not play because i want to be wanting LBP sooo bad and then when this comes out I will be able to play and be incredibly phyiced and extremely happy. SOOOO... i hope this turns out just as great as we think it will be, but for now, off to BP and R2

Cheers!
