Hand-held creatinator

Archive: 10 posts


Am I the only one who's annoyed by how silly the creatinator looks? This basically means that it won't fit the theme or aesthetics of any future levels I have planned where it could have been useful. A handheld creatinator make more sense visually. Currently, if we want to give sackthing a gun in a level, we're stuck with the paintinator, which is far more limited than the creatinator. I can imagine it's strapped on sackthing's head because MM have concerns about portraying a lethal gun-like weapon in a family-friendly video game, but the paintinator can already be used to kill sackbots (by putting a paint switch attached to a destroyer in its circuit board), so this seems like a fairly nonsensical reason. Furthermore, cartoon-ish lethal gun-like weapons in games considered suitable for children aren't exactly new or even controversial, I don't hear anyone preaching about the corrupting influence of Ratchet and Clank on children.

Does anyone agree with me on this? What are people's thoughts?

I reckon MM just made it so that you wear it on your head so it could easily be distinguished from the paintinator, not because it would be like a real gun. Oh, and for the record, I think the creatinator looks awesome 2011-10-11 22:08:00

Well the paintanator has become pretty obsolete since the creatinator can emit anything including paint balls.
I think the paintanator should be able to emit anything or at least small projectiles (including fire,water etc) that would get rid of the need to change the looks of the creatinator.

FWIW, there's a way to make a paintinator shoot anything (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=53244-Make-a-Paintinator-Shoot-Anything), but it only works when held by a Sackbot.2011-10-15 21:47:00

Who cares?
It's awesome itself. Paintinator shoots paint. What's wrong with that? I wouldn't find it weird if paint shot out of a hat; this IS littlebigplanet. Besides, Like
[insert name of player above] MENTIONED you can make it soot anything. SO who cares? I think they put it on the head because that's where imagination grows. Goes through the helmet.

Apparently that method is very unsafe and if you read the replies in that thread you can see it has crashed several PS3's and screwed up some profiles.2011-10-16 03:14:00

And if you read the rest of the replies, you'll see...


BTW, the recent patch seems to have made this glitch harmless and safe - I tried making a sackbot fire a teacup the other day, and it worked fine...

Still, there's no substitute for making plenty of backups.

Apologies there Aya, I missed that comment.
But still I would rather the Paintanator be able to emit anything (or at least small things).

I absolutely agree! I think the creatinator looks at least strange. It won?t allow you to make some serious looking level (reason why I deleted shooting scenes in my seriously conceived series, which however proved to be good step, but that?s another story)... Maybe some kind of accesories editor would be good idea :-D2011-10-16 08:45:00
