FLASHLIGHTS as costume item

Archive: 8 posts


wouldnt it be great if we had a little flashlight that spreads a little bit of light around?
it would be a hand item, and to turn it on we would have to press the scared button

As a costume item... no

If it were a costume piece I don't believe it should shine light like an actual light, due to how certain levels are built around the concept of the player not seeing. As a powerup, yes I could see it being a perfect powerup.2012-07-06 08:35:00

Yes, I've wanted there to be some sort of following source of light but placing a bulb on a hologram with a follower just looks odd - a sphere of pure white just floating around after you. It'd be cool if you could get the aura of light around you or in front of you but I haven't worked out how to just yet... a torch powerup would be just fantastic.2012-07-06 13:07:00

I don't see why David hates the idea so much. A flashlight object would be a swell idea. I wouldn't recommend it emit any light as it could change gameplay experience in levels introducing more than the game can handle (Aka: LAG!) lol2012-07-06 16:45:00

I don't hate the idea at all... I just don't see a costume being half as useful as a powerup.

Infact, I was about to resurrect the "illuminator" idea in about a week or so with a write up of how I would implement it as a full level kit...

I guess when you said object, I assumed one of those ugly flat flashlights that floats around your sackboy and turns with the controllinator close player input lol. A powerup would also be an even cooler idea! I definitely wouldn't mind having one over the other haha. But it feels like a very unnecessary powerup unfortunetly. Only a tiiiiiny bit of levels would ever use it and only a tiny bit more of THOSE levels would even use it correctly. Sure it would be popular the first few weeks it was released, but eventually it will be forgotten


*Cough cough* Motion controller

But hey, ya never know, there's a big vita kit coming in the future, perhaps we'll see some nifty new powerups?

haha, ya the motion controller was a flop but i think it would be a good power up, since its just a small thing they could just slip it in a patch. i would use it a ton, like you could aim it with the left stick, so if you are in a mounted house you would have to use the flashlight to get through it2012-07-11 03:27:00
