LittleBIGPlanet

Um, the first thing the game did when I loaded it was connect to the internet.

I'm not sure how it'll work without an internet connection.

I can't say that I find the whole 'cutesy' presentation very appealing.
But I do like being creative, so I'll keep an eye on this.

One of the early Tenchu games had a great level editor. I spent many hours making and refining my own levels. It was awesome!
More recently, I used to mess around with the Time Splitters FP, level maker. That was REALLY good. And yes, off course I made a Resident Evil level. There was a number of zombie models which were very handy.

I'm not into cutesy either, but making your Sackperson dance, swing their arms, headbang, b*tch-slap fellow Sackpeople AND rock their hips all the while changing their facial expressions with the d-pad is ALWAYS good for a quick laugh. Those little guys are so fun to mess around with.

I'm in the beta too thanks to a certain sexy beast.

But I think that Chris Redsack is not really a good name >_>

But on the topic - I've been really enjoying LittleBigPlanet, I think the art direction is top notch. The only thing that really concerns me is the jumping, which doesn't feel "right" when I think of how jumping in a platform game should be. I don't know how to explain it, but there's something weird about it.

Regardless, I'll pick it up when it releases, on Blu-Ray. Is it still a Downloadable Title or not?

[Vector]

^ Nope, blu-ray only.

I won't be picking it up on the 21st, even though I really, really want to.
I preordered SOCOM and I need to buy that...it leaves no $$$ leftover for LBP.

Is it still a Downloadable Title or not?

Where have people gotten this idea from? I thought until last week that it was a downloadable exclusive, but couldn't remember why i thought so.

The more i play the beta, the more i actually think this actually IS (not could be, actually IS) the biggest thing to happen to platform gaming since Super Mario World.

I sat down tonight to play some of the user created levels and was pretty blown away. The Mirrors Edge levels has a ton of potential, looks smart already. The Silent Hill level is suitably dark. And the God Of War level is incredible. I can't wait til the day when Resident Evil levels are clogging the whole game up, there's a ton of potential for it!

I say give it some time and we come up with a Raccoon City level for the game!

[Vector]

It's only a matter of time before there's a Mansion/Raccoon City level, complete with zombies, Lickers, Tyrants, etc...

...the Silent Hill level was pretty cool, with the gigantic Pyramid-Head dude at the end.

[Mr. Spencer]

I'll be creating a level depicting the cold bleakness and blood red hue of a Martian landscape.

All this RE5 excitement at TGS might overshadow this stunning development:
Solid Sackboy and Sephisack!

Ok, I have a question for those who have played the beta.

http://kotaku.com/5060939/littlebigplanet-gets-dualshock-3-bundles-too?cpage=2&sort=asc#viewcomments

They've announced Dual Shock 3 bundles with the game in Japan.
Is the game very text-intensive? I don't imagine that it is, but I thought I'd ask. I can read a little Japanese, so I should be ok.
I need to upgrade to a DS3, especially since the announced about split-screen RE5, a second controller is a must now. So it looks like I'll be getting this as soon as it comes out in the bundle . I just hope there's something to do offline. Otherwise I'll have to wait a few months to play it.

[Vector]

The tutorial levels have lots of text, and there are a lot of tutorial levels as you can imagine.

The game will ship with about 50 single-player levels, I believe.

[James]

SOCOM is terrible, whoever is putting LBP aside for that heap of shit clearly has their priorities wrong.

I'm excited for the Sephy and Snake Sackboys, they're adorable .

Some levels I've played that are amazing are the Silent Hill levels, as well as a VERY well done remake of MGS1, all the way up until the first Raven encounter. Ver well done I was very impressed.

[Stu]

I've uploaded my first custom level on LBP.

Search BigStu1981 on there, you'll see it.

OMFG. If that video doesn't convince you to buy the game...IDK what will.

[Dot50Cal]

Amusing, sure, but I don't think thats the best way to convince someone to buy the game
