LittleBigPlanet Beta

[TsunamiWombat]

I'm not saying it's bad, looking at the footage i'd say it looks cute, quirky, and innovative- everything worth being interested in.

I just don't see why people have raging steel hardons of fanboy joy for it.

It's the amount you can do, combined with how easy it is to do.

Most if not all the levels in the beta only use the tools available to you once you complete the first level/area/whateveritis. If those levels only use a fraction of the tools you get, who knows what you'll be able to do in the full game?

Even if i've never played it yet and I'm "pissing my pants" so to speak for it, I'm still going to wait until I play it to make a final verdict. I would suggest you do the same, but if you don't want to play it that's fine.

And Mr. Badass, if you could would you write a sortof review for the Beta? That would be nice to inform people as to what is going on.

Sure, I guess I could do something like that.

Wow, I'm damn nice. Me doing this has nothing to do with putting off essays and not having MSN, just for the record.

Well if it interferes with your school work then you can put it off, don't want you failing class now do we young man?

If I had any faith that if I wasn't doing I'd be doing anything but going down to the pub, texting and maybe being involved in immoral acitivities then you'd have reason to worry. But it's coo' man, it's coo'.

Edit: People, holy crap. The intro is awesome. And I normally skip these things and then never watch 'em again, so this game is pulling some voodoo shit to make me interested.

None at the moment, I have a 3 year old PC rig and a PS2 and no job. Hurray for me.

Can someone please explain to me what little big planet is and why it's such a big deal?

It's a game where you build a little obstacle course for your little sackboy to go through, I don't really get why people are so excited about it, but somebody must.

This is the "Common outsiders view in" I've been seeing everywhere. Yeah you can build obstacle courses and such but the sheer amount of stuff you can use to create levels is incredible. Some have made Space invaders levels where you have to bounce bombs back towards them with a trampoline, some had made Shadow of the Colossus levels that were actually as deep and intricate as the games, and not just "jump jump, slap brain thingy" - etc.

It's like the console G-Mod, only better. Well ok maybe not as awesome as G-Mod, but it's more polished

Anyway, LBP has the potential to be like, 100 games in one. It has the potential to "go on forever" because of it's community.

Actually I'm GLAD LBP has so much hype for it, because it's such a community driven game that if it doesn't get popular quickly enough it'll suck.

It is very simple why everyone is excited. Here is a game that you can build almost any scenarios, make you own rules, make you own machines, you own enemies taking every thing that they give you a let you creative juices flow. I have seen people use the beta to make amazing levels and things. Heck a person made a working calculator using the gears and wires. Just imagine if you could make that you could make giant robots or working clocks or a car that works like a real one. If we could do that now just imagine what we could do with future downloads. If you have the patience and imagination you can see the potential this game has. But some people can't think past grabbing a gun and running through linear levels with a flimsy story or playing a game that is so easy that the game actually puts arrows to point out what you have do next ("cough" ....Zelda. This game is not for them.

Don't tell me you are getting raging hard-ons for Gears of War 2 right? Or is it Far Cry 2? Saints Row 2? Typical.

 

[some random guy]

I've got the beta. The level editor in the beta has limitations but it's still very flexible and the full game will have a lot more available options for level creating. It's really buggy but it is a beta so that isn't too much of a big deal.

Now I'm going to use this post to promote my level!

It's called "silhouette". There is no nature light in the level. Things like stars and electrical metal is used as light at creates a silhouette of whatever gets lit up. If you have the LBP beta, go and play it now! It's awesome!
