The FPS levels look gas the wolfenstein one didnt look great but still made me laugh.

Its getting great reviews even the Edge gave it 9/10 that must be the highest score a PS3 exclusive has ever gottten off them.

They gave the first LittleBigPlanet a 10

Well the demo is pretty good.

I'm not sure about the grappling hook as it tends to grab other sackboys in multiplayer rather than your intended target.

Also the cuddly toys thing seems like a good idea but im unsure.

Need to play it a bit more...

MarkY91

they said the graphics were improved by ALOT...i noticed nothing, was LBP1 with a grabbling hook thing

eddhorse

No there was no grappling hook in the first LBP.
You could grab things, thats about it.

I think LBP had amazing graphics anyway. The textures and detail and all in the different materials was fantastic. The lighting and all that was great too.

This and Killzone 3 are the reason I got the PS Move. I loved LBP1, it looked truly amazing, ans was such a simple concept, but yet one of the greatest games of all time.

Out of the box, there is very little Move compatabity, but there is gonna be an update patch to have more Move options in the game. And apparently, it could be out within a month after the game (can't remember where i read it, so no link. Sorry)

When you finish the last level of Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves a notice comes up saying that a patch will come 'soon' to LBP2 adding Move features. I'm guessing it'll be stuff like using Move when making levels and maybe the special pink material that you manipulate with the Move controller when playing Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves.

My credit cards feelin a bit violated lately, so i must pick up a PSN Store card and get Prehistoric Moves.

eddhorse

^^

Same for me.....

Scratch that, Prehistoric Moves is gonna be on the LBP 2 game disc.

From IGN:

Are there PlayStation Move levels in LittleBigPlanet 2? No, there aren't. However, on the disc is Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves. This is a LBP demo that uses Move. The game is already available on the PlayStation Network, but buying LittleBigPlanet 2 gives you access as well.

GothPunk

Oops! I should have mentioned that, sorry! That would have been annoying to throw down money for something you'll be getting for free with the full game.

As for the Move patch, I just read the very informative release date of 'Spring'. Create mode also has keyboard and mouse support, I'll be trying that out!

Awesome, i might actually have a go at making some levels this time round then, didn't using the controller to create stuff...

Brilliant !:D

out friday, reviews are looking good at an average of 93%

last one was good fun, but i did not have many friends playing online. level creation again looks confusing, but i will put a bit of time into it this time as i am not playing much call of duty at the moment.

any else getting it ?

edit: just seen there is already a thread on ps3 forum ...

Grayditch

Yeah, but this is the right place for it.

This is going to be brilliant. Days spent in level creation, no doubt.

richymcdermott

havent spent 100 of hours playing lbp1 i can honestly say is im proud to play with my sack-Boy XD , endless hours of fun. cant wait to see what people create

Dav

Good news everyone (aka where Dav hijacks the thread)!

I'm getting to meet 2 of the Little Big Planet 2 developers on Friday (James Spafford and Mark Stephenson of Media Molecule) and should be getting an interview with them, so if people have any questions for them, please post them up here!

Were they impressed or surprised with any of the user-created levels in particular and what would be their favourites? And did they take any inspiration for LBP2 from levels created by the users in LBP1?

Did they find it disappointing that a lot of people used their creation tools to recreate other games and characters, rather than original content?

Josey Wales

Just got an e-mail from Amazon to say my LBP2 has been shipped. Ordered it from the US to get the special edition.

What do they think of the way people have used level creation to come up with musical/visual works of art rather than traditional levels.

Did they expect that?

Kev_ps3

I'll probably pick this up on friday, looks great:)

Grayditch

Amercans on my list playing this.

I am Jack's raging envy.

Josey Wales

My copy of LB2 Collectors Edition just turned up. It was shipped from the US on Monday and arrived just now. Amazon is fast!!!

Can't wait to play it tonight.

twinsen

LBP2 has now expanded its creation tools so much that it is now possible to create almost any game type. My question is, what next?

Grumpypants

Installing this now ill post up thoughts soon.

twinsen

where did you get this ?

Grumpypants

Have played through the tutorial and the first 5 levels, if you liked the first one you will love this it looks a lot better plays a lot smoother and the grappling hook is pretty cool. Some mad parts where you need to jump off the edge of a ledge and shoot the hook so you can swing Indianna Jones style onto a ledge without falling to your doom.

Need to go write something about the 3DS now so wont really get into it until later.

Grumpypants

Genius does not do this game justice, my oh my its delightful

mystic86

gamestop are selling this for 49.99
so are smyths


only save max 4 euro if you buy it online - not a huge difference so i'll get it instore.

Fnz

LittleBigPlanet 2 will be €45 in HMV from tomorrow. Seems like a decent price.

johnny_ultimate

Nowhere in town was selling this early, but 44.99 in HMV and Smyths.

I greatly anticipate this, my PS3 hasn't been getting much action bar Blu-Ray, Mubi and Japanese PS1 games lately, so this will be a nice time-sink

mystic86

u sure? i rang smyths earlier and they said 49.99 - what branch?

It's with loyalty card (indeed 49.99 without), was on boxes in the Jervis St. one anyway. Bray one was closed on my way home so couldn't double check.

Josey Wales

So far it seems like the LBP servers are failing to keep up with demand just like the first LBP. Disappointing.
