Little Big Planet is far more sophisticated than I initially thought.

A user created a working calculator using ingame parts.  


I had no interest in the game until now.  I mean holy shit i'm impressed.  Watch the video, WATCH IT!

Bloody hell. Way too much time, and way too much patience.

/salutes

See the open ended creativity is why I so want this game. It comes out the same day as far Cry 2. So I think I'm gonna be fuck all busy making maps for two different games. Hmm maybe maps I make in Far Cry I should re-create in LBP...

oh yeah dont forget this clip

Yeah the beta is great but that had to have taken a lot of time...

EDIT::: Oh I have an extra EU LBP beta key that I won so if anyone wants it?

Holy shit...

...people like that make my head hurt.

Its graet and all, but i dont see myself creating levels, maybe playing someone elses though.

That's fantastic.  I think a PS3 price drop combined with confirmation that Yakuza 3 will be coming stateside would finally give me enough reasons (in addition to Little Big Planet & Valkyria Chronicles) to get a PS3.

i mean come on look at the posibilities here people!

It's not really my thing either. I wouldn't have enough patience to work on something decent. What surprises me though is that a big part of the internet community seems to like this game while some of those same people otherwise bash "casual non-games" without story lines and so on.

See, I do. I get off on meticulous user-created details like that.

There are some really good levels among the created ones... But they're drowning in "ZOMG the Rokcecz go zooz" levels that last two seconds... That or giant penises.

Posted this in the Review/Preview Q&A thread but I'll copy-paste it here for good measure:

I'm writing the LittleBigPlanet review as you read :) The embargo elapses sometime on Tuesday - hopefully 12.01 am.

If you have any particular issues you'd like to see tackled on the basis of your beta experiences or aught else, now's the time to broach 'em...

Your mom is more sophisticated than I thought.... in bed.

Not in the woods or on the airplane then?

Your mom is more sophisticated than I thought.... in bed.

And you said you had high standards.

I didn't realise Agent Ghost's mum had such a bearing on LittleBigPlanet. Hmmm. Might have to knock a few points off the score.

Review's up :)

Sorry, I didn't edit that... I gave it to Mikayd and the beta is closed now

oh ok, i was thinking the beta was nearing closing anyway..

I want to kill myself. I got my copy yesterday but still dont have time to play it. Love college.

Before you bust out the razor blade send your copy my way.

Why don't you just sell it on eBay? Tons of people would be willing to pay a lot of money for it

Holy FUCK!  I just had an idea for a level.  This shit is going to be awesome!

Share and tell? :)

I haven't tried the beta so I don't have the most complete grasp of what is possible, I'll make some sketches...

I want to make a level where you assemble, fill and light a bong.  I bet it won't even be the first one.  I don't care, I'll have fun doing this regardless.

That would certainly be something special

Heh, there goes LBP's E for Everyone rating...

Heh, there goes LBP's E for Everyone rating...

I'm pretty sure that went with either the penis one or the "Xbox takes a dump on PS3"

Ah yes I'd sort of blanked out the memory of those. Did you play the Gears of War one? Twas awesome.

No... Did Marcus Fenix take a dump on the PS3?

Example

Does ESRB rate online experience?  They always have that message: "gameplay experience may change during online play."  It seems like LBP is in the grey area.  There's nothing explicit about the pre-made content/levels, but the potential and inevitability is in the tools.

I'm not sure about the ERSB but if you believe the ELSPA, the BBFC certainly doesn't.

/dies of acronym overdose

It'll be interesting to see how Media Molecule handles the inevitable dodgy material. Some kind of Youtube-esque, verify-your-age level filtering thing, perhaps?

The Gears level is the one where you end up clinging to a giant rolling cog. Simple stuff, but quite spectacular.

There's a function called "Report" or something... Stephen Fry actually talks about it in the tutorial
