[PS3] LittleBigPlanet Impressions

[Billy Idol]

They should incorporate an option with infinite respawns!!
This game is damn difficult, which is a downer for a lot of people.
It cost me and my buddy (played together online, althgough he is located in US..no problems and communication worked as well!!) all nerves to finish this game,
but was fun and great nevertheless (to funny when you driving the car and your buddy hangs down on a rope and you have the ability to burn his ass in a fire...pro tip: get him out of fire before he gets grilled, otherwise expect some mean revenge , this game often is like a slapstick comedy due to the super animations of the Sackboys)!

Finally picked it up today, not on sale though (GOTY version). Unfortunately, it will be at least 2-3 weeks before I get to play it
I'm hoping the wife will really like it.

Ha ha... finally ! So the Water addition is a separate patch/DLC. Interesting.

Water expansion coming before Christmas:

As reported this morning, a list of new trophies have been added to the game that make mention of water and Pirates content, hinting at the arrival of the DLC packs at any moment.

...

When asked about it, Sony told us: "We're expecting it to launch just before Xmas."

Wow, Santa is bringing me my best xmas pressie a day early!!

[patsu]

Yap, saw it this morning. My son will be happy.

 

[goonergaz]

£4.79 - nice price IMHO and I can't wait to see what folk do with this!

 

[goonergaz]

tomorrow for water!!

 

[PowerK]

LBP is patched to v1.23 today. And The Pirates of The Caribbean Pack is live on PSN store. I downloaded, and played briefly today. FUN!

 

[minimoke]

Is the water included in the v1.23 patch or is it part of the Caribbean Pack? Also, is it on the EU store yet?

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Water is included in the patch so you can play other people's water creations, but you need to buy the PotC pack to be able to use it. As I understand it.

 

[Cornsnake]

I can't seem to connect to the LBP servers. Anyone else having the same problem?

Edit: It's working now. But no new level kit yet in EU.

 

[Cornsnake]

The EU store (if you can call it that) has updated with the LBP level kit. Great stuff as usual.

Yes, got it as well but will have to wait until my wife is done watching Coraline.

 

[goonergaz]

it's great...can't wait to see what some of the tallanted level makers out there are gonna do

We played the first 3 Pirates level last night. They are a little too dark to see sometimes. The water behaves "as expected", so it's hard to be surprised from a player's perspective (It's water !). One of the water puzzles that plays with floating/sinking principle is pretty cool though.

Have to wait for the creators to do something interesting with it. They have been nothing short of amazing in supporting the platform so far.

Can you do "acid water" (fast decreasing health with sound + visual effects) in this game ? I am stilling pondering over a "Nausicaa and Valley of the Wind" level.

I don't think you can do "acid water". You can put gas in your water, though it won't show. I'm going to experiment with ways to do interesting things with water for platforming and hazards.

I tossed together a quick level when water came out, but quickly ran out of water ideas, so it only has about 1 section with water. Pretty boring, uneventful with almost no enemies, but do give it a look if you've got time!

It's called "Undiscovered Territory". I was initially going for a metriod feel (as in lots of paths) but I dunno, it's harder than i thought originally, lol.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Water is just by level right, and there are no drips or fountains or sources/spawnable water objects?

Is that PotC pack the only thing missing from the LBP game of the year edition? I sold the game sometime ago when I finished it, but I find I miss the game and all the kooky levels people make, so I'm thinking of getting it again. Would be cool to get everything in one fell swoop, but I wonder what's not included in the game of the year version.
