Crazy People Create Sony vs. Marvel vs. Capcom In LittleBigPlanet 2

PushSquare: We can probably all agree that Marvel vs. Capcom would be better with a dash of Kratos and Cole McGrath.

[OGharryjoysticks]

doesn't get cooler than that.

[darthkai]

Not unless they add Darth Vader to the mix.
But yeah, I agree, definitely the most awesome thing I have ever seen in my life. Can't wait!

[captain-obvious]

I AM KRATOS AND I WELL KILL YOU!!!1!!1!!11!!
lol

thats Epic man
LBP is going to be EPIC
EPIC i tell you

[nveenio]

Can anyone say "10" for replayability?

[Kevin ButIer]

This is out of control, this only can get better, 2011 PS3 year confirmed

[badz149]

WTH? How the hell did he do that?? that was plain AWESOME!

[DORMIN]

MINUTE ONE BUY.

Got the CE edition preordered.

[longcat]

must expand english language to describe awesomeness properly

[saladthieves]

And to think that this game is only a beta!....WTF!?!

[Solid_Malone]

Just thinking back, if it wasnt for Phil Harrison, we wouldn't be enjoying this game. I applaud you Phil Harrison, if your up there! R.I.P LoL :p

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

actually this is more like Sony VS Activision Call of Duty XD

[8thnightvolley]

ok that does it i am sold...this game is right up there for my 2011 list that is just one insane amount of creativity possible... colour me impressed.

[topgun33]

Great stuff. I hope you guys have it finetuned it so we can download it when the game releases.

[RedDead]

Here goes my final bubble but anyway.

This is my main gripe with little big planet. People make games that are just worse versions of other games, lbp is nothing but that as far as I can tell. Do I honestly want to play that game up there over Marvel vs capcom? I mean it looks alright since as a Lbp creation but that's all. It's not a good figher, Lbp does platforming the best. But everything else can be found elsewhere much better, such as the first person shooter lbp, the top down fighter posted the other day etc. Lbp planet is a compilation of flash games. imo. Some one please prove me wrong.

[Godmars290]

Pretty sure that LBP2 itself will prove you wrong. And its not about poorly copying other games, its about general fun. People getting together to make something like that weather its appreciated by others or not.

[DaTruth]

Even if it is, I won't play Marvel vs. Capcom for $60, but I will play this for absolutely free!

LBP2 will cost me $60, anything I play after that is free... 2 million levels of free!

What will I lose if I buy MvsC and don't like it or become bored of it fast? $60!!!! What have I lost if I don't enjoy LBP-MvsC? Three seconds of my life!

[-Alpha]

Yup, Godmars said it best.

You miss the point of seeing these kinds of levels. Yes, they aren't as good as the actual games, but they aren't supposed to be. Recreating other games is just one part of LBP, the game is a lot more than that.

There is an abundance of content and the idea is just to have fun. Don't take it so seriously

[HolyOrangeCows]

"Here goes my final bubble but anyway"
Nothing negative to say about the moderation, nothing negative about Kinect, you don't correct anything in the article to get marked as "spam"......why would you lose a bubble? You're just trolling about a Ps3 game as usual. Mods rarely take bubbles for doing that.

First of all, it's still a beta. Second of all, its ability to do this and that comes down to how well the player designs it.

"day friggn 11111111111111111"
You must not be very excited to be getting it 11 million billion days after launch :)

[Narutone66]

This is to showcase what is possible with the game. And remember it's still in beta.

[TANUKI]

It's NOT about how poorly they "ripped off" other games, it's the dedication, time and effort users put into making them.

The best part is, it's FREE for the community to try out and to rate up/down.

[BYE]

What I don't get is, if they put exactly that time and effort you are talking about into making their own games it would be even better for everybody.

They could make money and the person who plays it has more fun than just playing it as a LBP level.

But...whatever. You guys have fun with LBP. Guess it's just not my type of entertainment.

[Focker420]

Its one thing to make a small creation on LBP using some pretty simple tools. Its an entire other thing to try and develop an actual video game.

[rrw]

LBP1 "platform game"
LBP2 "platform FOR games"

that the series marketed as

[DAS692]

You fail to realize that lbp also offers room for creating NEW games as well. In fact, i've seen some original games on the beta as well, and i've had some original ideas... Just because people recreate games on LBP doesn't mean that that was MM's intention. Thus, the comment "A PLATFORM FOR GAMES" not "A PLATFORM FOR RECREATING GAMES"

[Azmacna]

did you know there is a hardcore community that is dedicated to making stupidly hard levels that require special jumps to progress or tight areas that have you pulling your hair out? it was news to me but they are HARD CORE without a doubt

[ngecenk]

now thats how i know you never played lbp. this kind of game that use other IP (well except sonys ip) will get banned in lbp world. typical user created level mostly are platformers or some with added mechanic.

this kind of video just made by user to grab people attention. in the end the one that shines the most in LBP is platformers with superb mechanic.

[Redempteur]

LBP 2 is different than LBP 1

they didn't had a full music synthetiser and lot of stuff if they didn't these kind of thing to happen

[Bathyj]

Dont you see, its as much fun creating as it is actually playing.

I dont know why you made me think of this or if its apt in this case but you make me think you wouldnt sit around with a bunch of mates and a guitar singing old songs because they dont sound as good as the CD's.

[darthkai]

It's not about creating the perfect shooter or the perfect fighter. It's about seeing how creative you can get with a limited number of easy-to-use tools and sharing that creativity with the rest of the world.
It's like Lego. Sure your Lego castle doesn't look anything near as good as the ones designed by toy companies, but it's your castle and stems from your imagination and you can change it in any way you want. That's what makes it special.
But if you don't get that then you don't get the spirit of LBP, and the game is probably not for you.

[get2sammyb]

Great post.

[Ducky]

Well, even if it was a compilation of flash games, what's wrong about that?
There's flash games that I've found more addictive and enjoyable than actual 'real' games.

I just see each LPB creation as I see a PC mod on any game engine. Sure, there's bound to be a big sea of mediocre creations, but there's also going to be some gems.
$60 for a half-assed creation of most games is a pretty good deal anyways, even if you exclude the base game. ;)

LPB is one of the few games this generation that I think is doing some new. It's nice to see a creative game in a market flooded with shooters. =/
(Although, I don't really support levels that just try to copy other games. The point is to be creative. Then again, inspiration and poor imitation are almost the same thing)

[soundslike]

agree

I have no interest in copy cat levels for the most part. Luckily there will be lots of creative stuff about, and I will be spending a huge chunk of time making my own stuff.

60 dollars be buyin' lots of stuff let me tell you. Even if that stuff is just like...stuffing for the main course.

[socomnick]

Like the creativity and the intros but jesus that sucks. What red dead said is right, all of these levels are just supremely inferior versions of the read games. Most of these are downright unplayable.

[Bathyj]

Gee, what a shock YOU dont like it.

Colour me dumbfounded.

[Psychic_Waffle]

I agree with everything in RedDeadDestroyer's comment.

The game-play looks atrocious and no fun at all. If the fun is to be had making the levels, then I could see it being entertaining for a while.

However, I do think that the game is a blast to watch (partially because it's just a visually impressive game), but anything worthwhile already has or probably will be posted to Youtube - besides, if it's no fun to play, then just being able to watch it (without even having to get the game) is the next best thing. So at least it's possible to see some of the cool creations others have made.

For myself, the extent of the game's appeal ends there.

Edit: I still want to get the game just to see if actually playing it will change my view (keeping an open mind). I know I sound like a detractor, and I probably am... but if you love LittleBigPlanet, then that's cool with me. I'm just voicing my opinion.

[BLAKHOODe]

LBP isn't about playing the samething over and over again. it's about cute, creative fun. one of the greatest things about playing LBP is checking out other user's creations and playing them for a minute.. and with over 3 MILLION creations out there, you'll never run out of something to play. now with LBP2, they've made LBP1 look like nothing more than a DEMO, because of all the new creation content. you could live a long life playing LBP or LBP2 and never play the same level twice. THAT's a great game!

[SJPFTW]

LBP is a party game. it lets you be creative and enjoy it with others. besides as people learn and get used to the creative aspects they can better create better "games". this is BETA and people have only been playing it a few months. Give it a year and see how intricate and creative people will get using the tools LBP2 gives them

[visualb]

reddead, I know what you mean, but you miss the point of LBP/LBP2

its not about competing directly with the game they are emulating, but to allow different game play opportunities

if you look at this and thing "bah this isn't as good as marvel vs. capcom I rather play that" , then you miss the whole point, it isn't about making the game exactly like that, but an experience different to the typical platformer.

well, if you cant appreciate that, its your loss, no one elses =|

[Manberg900]

LOL you are someone who doesn't "get" LBP

[cliffbo]

edit: at above. i just read your comments and it seems my timely intervention may make you reconsider. and no-one is suggesting you play this game instead of the real thing... it's just 'fun', a largely overlooked word these days. it doesn't just do platforming best either. you should check out the vids occasionally to see for yourself. flash games do REALLY well

doesn't this look prety good, even thought the guy who made it is just practising? i know that because i talk to him regularly on the LBP forums

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

what people have to remember here too is that the community isn't trying that hard with LBP2 simply because the levels they create during the beta are going to be removed. can't wait to see what these guys come up with when they aren't just experimenting and have ALL the assets at their disposal. LBP1 hit over 4 million sales and has over 2.5 million levels. i can see LBP2 hitting 4 million sales in half that time (and i'm saying this for an indication of how many levels there will be, not for sales fights)

[RedDead]

I see what you mean, the simple fact of creating something that can hold someones attention for atleast a while seems fun. I know flashgames are good too and popular(farmville >:D ) . I'll have to wait and see more of the stuff for myself, i've seen a good few vids and was planning on a day one buy and then I thought, I could get games dedicated to each genre instead of playing lbp versions of them, but I think you have it right, it's like the fun in modding games and being part of the community maybe...

[ForceCSW]

LBP1 has over 3 million levels and even a veteran player like me who has played community creations for hundreds of hours can go online whenever and find hours of new and worthwhile content.

[Azmacna]

yeah, it's more to do with the community. check out LBP central forums to see how dedicated they are

http://www.lbpcentral.com/f...

you could spend a while in the News and Media thread and head over to Beta Community levels in there, where you will find some incredible stuff

[Godmars290]

LBP2 is Sony's Newgrounds.

And yes, they totally need to do a Sony vs Capcom.

[trounbyfire]

capcom is in bed with microsoft but marvel vs sony would be cool to

[El_Colombiano]

Sony is in bed with DC lawl

[White-Sharingan]

Well damn

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Creation based in a beta with limited tools.

LBP2 is going for the 2011 GOTY Award.

[Masterchef2007]

Why not a Sony vs Microsoft vs Nintendo?

[Azmacna]

lets not go there eh? it would be so nice to just argue amongst ourselves without making it something it isn't

[flyingmunky]

I think I did play a level like that in the first LBP. They set it up so the 360 red ringed and blew up at the end of the level.

[Masterchef2007]

lol thats funny. I would love to see a Marcus vs Garza battle

[Raendom]

Wow, that is amazing. Some of these creators blow my mind.

[rrw]

No point sony will win

Kratos will butcher master chief, mario, link, ETC if they dare to challenged sony.

(@Masterchef2007 wrong reply)

[redDevil87]

Thats dope!

The screaming would get annoying quick though lol

[alex123123]

pretty awesome the amount of stuff you can do in this, the interface, health bars, game mechanics etc.

[nefertis]

damn I want this game.

[emekcrash]

O_O OH MY GAWD.

[Ravage27]

F#$%ing mindblowing stuff o.0 And this vid shows why the real MVC3 really could use a Kratos in its roster :p

[Bathyj]

Yeah, crazy like a fox.

[Prcko]

day friggn 11111111111111111!!!!!!!!!

[OllieBoy]

This wasn't even possible in LBP1.

Can't wait for this game!!!

[cozmo195]

now make nazi zombies :D

[blackburn5]

@ RedDeadDestroyer you like many people completely miss the point of LBP. No one ever said the game was to make perfect replicas of games. In fact no one ever said that you had to copy real games at all. I have played many LBP levels that didn't copy any popular game. The point is using your imagination and seeing your creations come to life and see to people enjoy it. Haven't you ever played with Lego? Do you care if the Harry Potter Lego men don't look exactly like HP characters? Or if you build a castle that it doesn't fit castle specification? Or if you build a plane are you concerned that the plane isn't exactly aero dynamically correct or doesn't really fly like a plane or doesn't have a working fuel tank? Not everyone can or will make masterpieces but you have the option to do the best you can even if it's not perfect. No one expects you to make a full scale blockbuster game that blows Halo or UC2 out of the water but you can still try to make something that will be seen as worth playing.

[DEATHSTROKE-cro-]

LOL at 1:45

that's awesome

[SoulMisaki]

As soon as the fighting started, I was like..

"WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON AND WHY IS THERE SCREAMING."

[rezzah]

LBP2 IS AWESOME !!!!!

[xtremeimport]

that made my life.

can not wait for this game, so much in 1 package.

[soundslike]

The pain sounds make me want to get a thread and needle and sew those sacks shut.

[slutface]

waaaaaat fighting game?

[RonXD]

Some of you people need to lighten up.

The fact that people are creating anything like these games during the beta phase is amazing.

I have no doubt in my mind that not only will these "Recreations" be even better than they are now, but we will see a ton of original games being created by the community.

These games aren't meant to be better than the real versions. It's all in good fun. Would I rather play this version of Marvel vs Capcom over Marvel vs Capcom 3 when it comes out? Absolutely not. However it's still fun to see people creating games like this. I actually got a pretty good laugh out of this video, especially the voices and screams.

[Raoh]

oh man that has to be one of the coolest things i've seen in a long time....

cant wait.

[Sticky__Rice]

How much? I'll buy this right now! Show me sum OLD SNAKE!!! xD

[garos82]

this is incredible. i cant believe how it has evolved from lbp1. january will be epic

[Coolmanrico]

I can't wait till next month, this will be my first game of the new year.

[olit123]

I can see myself getting more into the share side of things. Like writing A LOT of level reviews :p

[Welshy]

WOW... that's truly incredible O_o

I knew you could make "entire games" from scratch in LBP2 but to this detail and depth in a BETA TRIAL with about 25% of the tools and content available on the disc?

LBP2 is going to be incredible. Even with KZ3, infamous etc out aswell, this could easily be in for Game Of The Year :D

[polloizarraraz43]

that character isn,t from cod lol, it is my character crazy agent sack from lbp1, lol, i'll maybe changed for a sackbot or someone else xD

[polloizarraraz43]

lol

[9thGenHero]

This is just crazy, I sort of lost hope on level creation with Wario D.I.Y., but after seeing HHG's interview with Media Molecule, and now this, the game has planted it's Little Big Ass on my radar...damn I can't wait!

[Throwaway2020]

It would appear that LBP3 will simply have to be a dumbed down version of some ps3 SDK and engine. lol but seriously the things that are coming out of the beta are sick. Can we please not have half a million H4H levels this time though by not making it a trophy to get hearted. Who didn't those piss off. This game is looking so tight.

[Ch1d0r1]

The only thing i like about LBP are the levels that are impossible to finish, super hard ninja warrior levels, unfair platformer levels. Other than that LBP is a children's game.

For example, the spinning roulette in the bunker level was challenging 1st time around.

Thats just what i think. I hate it when people make simple levels, they are waste of time. But on the other hand simple levels are great for young gamers out there. Example my 4 year old sis, shes addicted to the game.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Day one for me
