One major reveal still promised

Archive: 56 posts


Found this at Eurogamer and it mentions again about another big reveal. Maybe it will be revealed next week at the Leipzig Game Convention.

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=212398



With developer Media Molecule keen on plenty of DLC support and still promising one major final reveal before release in October, the future is bright. And open to the possibility of Sackboy Strikers Charged, Sackboy Power Tennis, or Sackboy Sluggers.

oh i bet we haven't even scratched the surface. the knowledge they have released cannot be most of what is in the game. what they've shown us is only the basics.

No, not really. If it was, they wouldn't be pumping it up this hard, because it'd already be "revealed".

I'd figured as such, but hearing someone else say it assures me all the more that they have some big stuff planned for LBP.

OMG, maybe its an early release indeed
My local gamestore-site normally says: Coming [date here]
But at the LBP-thing it says: Coming soon.
Maybe they know that it will be released before 29-10, but they're not supposed to say.

Oh **** I really hope this. Please, LBP-god, please....

Nuh uh. Just knowing that something's coming isn't ruining the surprise - if he told us what it was, then it wouldn't be a surprise.

OK let me rephrase. Confirming that there's a surprise will ruin part of the surprise of the surprise.

Although knowing that there is one will make us explode with hype before they announce what it is...

Hmm... yeah Sam go ahead, maybe you should tell us if there's a surprise.

I'm just afraid that we're taking it out of context, and maybe there's not really a big surprise left. Then we'll all be left hanging.

Excactly. That's why i'm asking. I don't want this thread to pop up in a few months like 'So uhhh.... what the hell was the suprise?'

Yeah guys, I wouldn't get your hopes up too high so you won't be disappointed. Try to look at what IS in LBP rather than what COULD BE in LBP 2008-08-23 23:39:00

Eurogamer article says:


Alex Evans:
I was talking to the team about this, and in LittleBigPlanet, there's so much stuff we've had to cut from the game just for focus reasons. Those are the constraints we were talking about - it's worth cutting sometimes. But the number of directions, and the breadth you could take from a game like LittleBigPlanet, while keeping it within the LittleBigPlanet universe, is insane

A lot of people say to me, "when you first revealed LittleBigPlanet, the Sony reveal, that was a big shock". People didn't see it coming. I want to be able to do another reveal where people don't see it coming - it's still LittleBigPlanet, but they're saying, "oh my god, I thought it was this, you're telling me it's this as well?!" That excites me hugely, definitely.

Rest of the article HERE (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=224220&page=1)

It looks like the "Big Secret" was a quote taken out of context about the possibilities on the future of LBP and the content which could be added to it. The article shows that Alex is pie-in-the-sky'ing about wanting to bring something to LBP as big a surprise to people as when they first revealed it.

Personally I'm not all that fussed about there being no "Big Secret", it would have been fun to see some big thing added that we weren't expecting but it's not like not having it takes anything away from the game. At the moment LBP ticks all my "is this game worth buying" boxes (apart from the HDD image importing being cut)

*Hopes for added video/youtube support in the future*

It makes me wonder what they originally had in mind for the game though....

Agreed, good to have a definite conclusion, shame it had to be that there was no major revelation.

Now everyone don't get your hopes up WAAAAY up, you will only get disappointed. So I recommend that you think there is no and will not be another LBP surprise so we are actually excited and not go "what?! that sucks!" It happened with Super Smash Bros. Brawl were everyone was hoping for a specific character to appear in the game and it didn't and everyone didn't liked the roster but if you think about it, is still a awesome roster.

So plz don't get hype k?

I asked Alex about this last week as I was equally in the dark as to what the major reveal could be - I mean, we've got some things we haven't mentioned yet especially in terms of what we're planning after launch, however there weren't any biggies in the launch game still to announce.

So, here's the truth of the matter.

This rumour of a major reveal still to happen came from Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=204431) and is worded in such a way as to make it sound as though there was a major announcement about the game still to come. This is, however, not the case, and the full context of what Alex what talking about can be found here (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=224220&page=3).

To save you looking, here's what he actually said :
A lot of people say to me, "when you first revealed LittleBigPlanet, the Sony reveal, that was a big shock". People didn't see it coming. I want to be able to do another reveal where people don't see it coming - it's still LittleBigPlanet, but they're saying, "oh my god, I thought it was this, you're telling me it's this as well?!" That excites me hugely, definitely.

Alex speaks of wanting to be able to make another big surprising announcement about the game, rather than saying he actually has one (he doesn't).

Sorry for the letdown, but it's worth making sure everyone isn't waiting for something that isn't coming.

Fair enough, we couldn't really thing of anything that would fit that description anyway...

Alex should probably know better though.
