Sam_Protagonist teases about future level packs

Archive: 27 posts


With the success of the MGS pack are other dev. teams going to team up with Mm and LBP in the future?Yes. Although possibly in ways you hadn't considered.

Found this on LBPworkshop, what do you think he means?

lol, that would be funny. With the new baseball bat.... so many uses!

I think they'll team up with the guys behind Pokemon - Sackemon..... lol

I'm not surprised that they're making another level pack. I'm very interested to see what the next one is going to be like. What would be cool, if it is another pack like MGS, they should make the developer's make the levels .

Or, what would be cool as well, is a big collaborative project with the best user creators and sell it. The creator's should just ask for what materials and tools they need and MM should make them .

Of course, I don't suppose anyone has considered the very likely possibility that we will inevitably see sackpeople appearing in other games as cameos, unlockable costumes, etc.2009-03-03 16:58:00

yeah if anyone has GTA SA for PC you can get a mod to make CJ into a sackboy... which looks like sackboy but guns dont work very well because its hidden under the arms lol... but it looks cool on the motor bikes lol2009-03-03 17:00:00

Or maybe he means the other way around. Like a Sackboy costume for Killzone 2. 2009-03-03 17:22:00

That's precisely what I'm getting at!

But obviously they have more in store for LBP, otherwise I doubt they would make a point of saying anything. It's getting high time for another quality DLC pack. MGS DLC has been out for 3 months, and since then nothing but holiday content and costumes.

On a side note... I've bought all of the festive content so far and used literally none of it. I can think of hundreds of more useful stickers, materials, and other objects I'd rather have than festive stuff.

How many levels have you built using Valentine's day heart material? lawl.

Wow what a news. This comment is barely hinting at anything. We all know other packs will come.

Right now we can speculate about anything.

Speculating is half the fun. Plus, his comment actually hints at a great deal. It means that they are currently planning/developing a level pack that is totally different from the MGS pack. By totally different I don't just mean based on a different game or theme.

I hope it's not too different because really, the MGS pack is perfection. You get levels, you get a power up, you get tools and other creation mode stuff. You also get music.

I actually doubt they can pull of better DLC. What could be better??

Well, you can only do guns once... and that's been accomplished by the paintinator.

I could speculate you could put in swords or other projectiles as a power up, which would make perfect sense for this type of gameplay. I have a long lost love for Wonder Boy 3, which is an RPG platformer from the sega master system and is PERFECT material for LBP.

Really I want to see more useful content in DLC packs. I'm done with holiday themed stuff and costumes (although I will continue to buy them). I'd like a BIG improvement to the soundfx library, particularly in terms of random mechanical sounds. We're given a huge palette of materials to work with, but as foley artists, we have a very limited, basic kit.

I'd also like more variety to the music selection. In most creations, I've struggled to find a score that really fits the play.

I'm sure we won't be disappointed though.

I love Wonder Boy 3. My sister's got it on the Wii virtual console. I nearly lapsed into a nostalgic coma when I saw it playing for the first time in 20 years. Sigh.

I think we need more sound sets too - I think an 8 bit sound module with loads of old school bleepy sound effects would be really useful.

I did a quick pencil sketch of a sackboy costume - Sack Fisher: Splinter Sack, and thought it might be good to have working night vision goggles - sackboy could shoot the lights out and sneak/swing/jump past enemies using night-vision. They could make that really cool whining sound that a camera flash makes (or did in my day) when he puts them on.

Actually that's a rubbish idea. I've consumed a considerable amount of alcohol tonight.

Man... What I would give to have a little swingnable sword. Imagine it could destroy brains and certain materials! Imagine if you press the sword button while in the air you'd do a flip that is a sword slash at the same time (means you could land this on a brain for fun!)

It'd definetly be intresting to see what they could do next. The paintinator added so many options to the create mode, I'd love to see something just an innovative appear in the next set.

Of course, we'll get the glut of useless levels that include the new tools, but then over time the excellent ones will start to appear.

Honestly, I just want new tools on the scale of the paintinator (the more ways to change up the gameplay, the better), cloth materials (HUGE one for me, i wanna slide down a cloth down into a getaway vehicle!) and more music. If it's based on an awesome theme like Killzone 2 or something, then all the better. I can take or leave new levels at this point, unless they're showing off the new tools (like the MGS pack) but new music/sound effects/tools/gadgets are an absolute must, and we're already passing the point it took for the MGS pack to come out.

Where's our next pack?!

Man, I really want to incorporate that chocolate bar material into something .. but you're right. It usually just doesn't fit lol.

Based on the helghast costume and sev costume screens we can assume it may be KZ2 related.2009-03-10 05:19:00

On the contrary I think eventually some more variety in gun-like weapons would be nice. Although I would prefer to seem something else soon. I read on a site that had a bunch of ideas for level packs. Like jak and daxter with a double jump, and street fighter with an attack slap. Things like that would be cool I think. Oh and a spiderman web swing would be amazing, as would a bionic commando arm.

An attack slap would be pretty dumb in my idea.. Because sackboy's arms are intensely short.. So you'd have to be near an emeny, in order to slap it to death Probably leading towards your own death. But yeah, i think it would be really cool level packs around game-breaking stuff. (Like the paintinator, and in the future maybe liquids.. or Magnetism.. Or Doulbe jump. BUT Double jump must be a upgrade like the paintinator, and not unlocked in every level.. Because that's lame But they would think of that ofcourse..)2009-03-10 16:58:00

for melee attacks, they could give us a weapon (sword, club, hammer)

but if a new map pack comes out, it will probably be a killzone theme

ell, if i'm not mistaking, there's a killzone pack coming soon, there they could put that lighting change onject that they used in the MGS pack, who knows, there are hundreds of things they can do.2009-03-12 07:49:00

I'm 99% sure that the Killzone pack, and also the Heavenly Sword pack are just like the GoW pack. Costumes and stickers. If you're lucky you'll get a new material :O:O:O:O Yeah we need some big DLC to be honest... But i heard Cornish Yarg is coming along nicely :O2009-03-13 20:44:00
