The guy on the cover with one eye, one arm, and one leg seems to have probably had a lot of bad luck.

Also, at 2:57 there is a dolphin in the corner. ??? for why?

I'm pretty sure it's the flip icon because dolphins can flip.

It's a new feature that is going to be introduced in vita and it's called Decoration Spinner!
You can see it working at 1:57 with the fan sticker spinning above sackboy and the new guy!

Also, at 2:49 we can see some of the new tools!
The phantom must be the new Unphysicalise tool, which allows to go pass the object...
Also, the one that it's like the sticker/decoration grabber but with a reset arrow must be the new Sticker Scrubber, which removes all sticker/decorations from an object.
And finally, the photograph icon must be the tool that let's you use Ps Vita's camera to make stickers from the environment!

The Radioactive guys is obviously a superhero of some kind. He's flying around, has a cape and is impervious to pain (as evidenced with the statement that he would have hit his head harder).

BAM!

the sailor/pirate guy at the top right looks as if he has several unrelated parts, and the girl middle left also appears to be a wire character... could we be getting the ability to create our own characters? a simple wire character that allows for customization? we've already seen a wire character in the new video, but he didn't look like that2012-05-26 11:40:00

No of course not. and if you were super in costume making like me you can easily tell they are just Special 1 part costumes like on LBP2 like Eve. all the story character costumes in the video and pics were different costumes that shared none of the same parts. the characters are just done in a patchework doll art style.

also the old guy who likes to hit his head is a crash test dummy hillbilly

This seems like a pretty good guess, though because a lot of this game seems to be carnival/circus themed i'd guess that he's a human cannonball.that could explain the cape as well, and in the image he is flying through the air.

is the whole game carnival/circus themed tho? or is it just 1 world?.
but your guess about him being also a human-cannonball seems right.

also the big guy with a eye patch seems to be a sailor. so maybe also a water theme world perhaps?

From what I've seen so far, here's the predictions I have for the worlds that may be featured:


-Foliage (1:00 in video)
-Technological (1:23 in video)
-Toolbox (2:00 in video)
-Carnival (Everywhere....)
-Haunted (3:19 in video)
-Ocean? (1:39)

-Foliage
-Technological
-Workshop (Toolbox)
-Carnival
-Haunted

Sounds about right. I wonder how this story ties into LBP2's, if at all.

What's nice about the LBP universe is how there are endless planets for Sackboy to travel to so the series can technically go on forever. Kind of like how bowzer kidnaps Peach and Mario tries to save her, except Sackboy would be saving different planets/universes.

Anyone think it's interesting how many planets LBPK has in the background?

There are 9, compared to the usual 2/3 in LBP.

Sorry, I didn't mean that most of the game was carnival themed, I meant most of what we have seen.

Sounds interesting, though wouldn't workshop and technological be very much the same thing.

This sounds about right... I'm figuring one of the worlds will also have an ocean-like theme to it, given the octopus tentacle and the little sun-like object rising behind the ocean, right next to the carnival tent.

Overall, I'm loving these theme ideas. The more varied they are, the more use we get from their materials, objects, and stickers.

Nah when I say workshop I mean like tool boxes, screws, wood, etc (featuring the crash test hillbilly dude). You can see this theme in the cutscene where you can hear the hillbilly.

The technological one is like computer based. There's a scene that shows a floating camera with 3 players playing together and circuitry everywhere.

The foliage one is a definite maybe, there are some scenes that show foliage. The game cover shows the top of the world with lots of grass too. Not sure what this means. Maybe a sort of ant-hill backyard theme?

You're right Night Angel, there may also be a ocean theme! I totally forgot about the pirate and the scene with the boat. There will most definitely be a ocean type stage.

The carnival one is a given.

The haunted one I'm most interested in, there's many clips showing this. In this video there was the eyeball minigame where you steer this eyeball around. There was that one scene in the games announcement trailer that showed "Online Play" and the players were jumping around and a little skeleton hung down all silly and what not. There was also a screenshot of the game on amazon and other sites that showed the players standing next to a piece of toast with egg on it with a theme that looked rather dark that might match it. I'm thinking this might be my favorite theme of all time haha.

I know what you mean, but I have to say they're very creative. Tarsier is doing a great job

As for the dolphin symbol, a lot of the on-screen icons are there to make up for the fact that the Vita does not have L2/R2 or L3/R3 buttons. So, flip/copy/etc. are pretty much all done with icons. It all works incredibly well.

I wasn't talking about the dolphin right there, I was talking about the fan that was spinning...

Yeah, they might be original. But they're still the ugliest character of all LBP games.
But the plot seems to be good.

Of ocurse they're cool. Big-nose-guy who is "circus land" director? Ragdoll? Crush-test grandpa? Springy sailor?
Yes, ideas are cool, original et caetera. But look at those guys. Bleh. They don't make me puke just because it's non-realistic cartoon style. Just compare to Eve. She's apple-in-cage-headed nurse with right eye eaten. But she still looks nice. And da Vinci makes me want to hug him, not poke him with stick like crus-test head.
I mean, LBPV characters are cool and they could look fine if some things had changed. Not all. For example circus director would have better eyes, a bit smaller nose. Not normal nose of course. Still big, just smaller.

EDIT: Q'd your Sky heart level.

Suppose i do agree on that I like the LBP2 character designs a bit better so far.

PS: my skyheart level is not that great. it's over a year old and it was really rushed. it will be remade later.
