Little Big Planet
polycounter lvl 18
Oh my, I wake up this morning to the sound of laughter, as my 2 roommates were playing the beta of Little Big Planet, it is SO fun.
We'll be making some levels tonight, but if there are any polycounters out there who will be making their own levels, post your name so we can find them and play together.
I'll see if I can get some images up later

I'm just getting used to it myself but whoa is it deep
I can't wait to get home and start making some levels
How do the graphics match up compared to the trailers and footage?
That is unless I get a key, then I might try it, but until then...I do not want to ruin the first day experience! lol!
wat
The aren't patching it because they must TOTALLY ELIMINATE THE EVIL from the game.
I WILL OWN THIS GAME!
The song in question is written by a muslim guy from Mali (who have won a grammy at one point) it was written 2 years ago and can be bought on itunes...
Seems like a totally pointless knee-jerk reaction. Would people have known they were from the Qu'ran if someone hadn't pointed it out to Sony?
Are games with passages referenced from the Christian Bible ok? What about the Bhagavad-Gita?
Apparently music and scripture are not suppose to go together in the Muslim way of life.
1- In the 18th second: "كل نفس ذائقة الموت" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death').
2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "كل من عليها فان" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish').
Well i think its all silly... I too want the game now! :P
Just my point of veiw, no offence to religious peeps.
They could either have released it knowing that there was an issue, and caused outrage, or they could keep it back to remedy the issue, and caused outrage.
As for patching, you'd need a net connection for every copy of the game and that's not guaranteed. I even know a few folk in the games industry who don't have their consoles networked.
Oh wait, was that the us?

It's a nice song!
I mean, I have it paid off. like, completely paid off, waiting for me at the store.
It could be the other games I have, the other ones coming out that I plan on picking up, I'm not sure, but it's weird. I have Fable 2, Castlevania (fantastic btw), and Fallout 3 waiting for me at home, not to mention tons of games that I've barely touched and some gamefly games coming in as well (dokapon kingdom and dead space). and theres like 6 more within the month I plan on getting.
I'm just confused how I went from NEED LBP to 'eh whatev'.
hm just wanted to get that out I guess hah.
still very interested to see what people come up with though, make sure you guys take note of your favorite levels so I know what to play when I get it!
Here's a level I can't wait to play:

so far what i've seen in lots of videos of this is that it looks very cute. controls seem a bit floaty at times and i still wonder where the challenge in playing this game will be. seems more like a level editor to create with than a game to play. no enemies in the levels or anything like traps? most videos show players running through levels straight, collecting orbs.

there's enemies, pit traps, even a level where you have to run from a rampaging "skulldozer" that's destroying the whole level as you play. The game starts to get fairly tough around the 3rd chapter and there's alternate areas you can't even go to in levels without at least 2 people.
if you watch the video I posted above, the boss is a giant dragon that you can only injure by hitting it's weak spots with a magic sword.
A+ so far, its really fun
So yea, what do you guys think? Having troubles on deciding whether I should pick it up or not, and there's no fartin demo for me to find out on.
Seriously, it needed a LOT more time in dev. Whoever wrote the movement code alone needs to NEVER work on a game again. Its that bad...
But jesus, its obvious they wanted to get this out before christmas...
I took this back the day after buying it, it was such a joke... The main problem NOW seems to not be the REALLY bad game behind it all (it is, sue me), but the fact MM are fucking up the fun... FOR EVERYBODY... by removing everything half decent from the user made content...
In other words...
Avoid this game. Or at least try before you buy...
EDIT: THERE ARE GOOD PARTS TO THIS GAME. Just not enough to say this is the best game Sony could give us this year...
the whole art direction and design is so super sexy sweet.
I was expecting a fun platformer. I got about a quater of that.
The best game I can compare it to is Mario Sunshine... Its heart is in the right place, but good god what were they smoking...
The user generated angle is really the crux of the game. Every reward you get from the levels that come in the box are materials and stuff they want you to use to build your own levels, or modify others. If you're not into that, then those are empty rewards.
Thanks for the answers all!
I think everything about it is totally awesome - the art style, the co-op, the creation abilities, the narrator, everything about it is absolutely perfectly polished and fantastic...except the gameplay.
I can't stand the physics-based platforming - I'd rather have something more old-school, where a jump doesn't take into account the exact angle of the ground you're on, etc. The controls seem floaty to me, I dislike the re-start ability because it doesn't reset anything in the level, just your position, so if you want to re-start because you missed jumping on a horse/skateboard/whatever rolling object a level has, you can't.
Having havok controlling everything allows for a lot of intuitive level creation, but I don't think it makes good platforming at all.
