LittleBigPlanet Update - GameDaily

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2008 in Las Vegas last night, Sony showed off some new features in LittleBigPlanet and a brief look at how users will create their own levels from scratch.

New additions include new emotions for the game's main characters, little stuffed sackcloth creatures called Sackboys. Click up on the controller's D-pad to make the creature go from straight-faced to smiling, to grinning to deliriously happy, tongue hanging out for emphasis. Click down on the D-pad to turn him into a scowling sourpuss. Sackboy's newfound emotions will also affect his other gestures. He'll shoot the peace sign, Nixon-style, if he's in a good mood and bare his fists if he's in a bad mood.

now if this isnt one of the damn cutest games ever made........right up there with Kirby

[The Killer]

it looks u will spend hours every day on it without realizing it!!
looking forward for it!!!

EDIT
@jiggyjay
go d!e somewhere else but not on us!!
and at least we have fangirls unlike the hardcore 10 years old 360 fanboys whose breakfast is MS PR's and lunch xbox live and dinner is bashing ps3 until u sleep!!

[TheExecutive]

I wonder what it will be used for? Buying more customization tools? More things to add to your world? Different characters? The list is endless.
Imagine some of the amazing downloadable content they will provide us.

[jiggyjay]

so when did Sony Fanboys (i meant Fangirls) become so much more girly! sheesh! this game is gayer than viva pinata!

[Shadow Flare]

Games like LBP are exactly what brings in the casual market and rockets ps3 sales. Microsoft has NOTHING that appeals to the casual market like sony and nintendo have and thats why they fail. The single reason that xbox 360 attracts mainly the hardcore crowd is why they will never outsell the ps3. You think microsoft would have learnt that with xbox 1

[TheExecutive]

This game is looking stunning. So much to do! I love the fact that the eggs have extra stuff in there. Its a nice touch to a great looking game. I wonder if there will be a single player campaign or just user created content?

Either way this game is looking amazing.

[jams_shop]

I just can't

[TheExecutive]

I wonder how moving back and forward will work... its no longer the 2-d scroller I thought it was. I liked how you can create a tree out of a "y". It looks as though we will really be able to create whatever we want. I also like the fact of putting ratings on the user created content... I dont quite know how it will work but its a good idea to give us as much FREEDOM as possible.

This game could be for the MOD community what MGS was for the stealth-action genre...

[RIPHDDVD]

on 360. hahahaha all of their games look the same. mass effect = shooting RPG, bioshock = shooter, halo 3 = shooter, gears of war = shooter. looooool. no variety. just shows how many stupid americans there out there with dumb taste in games

[TheExecutive]

No reason to bring the 360 into this... none at all. Quit being a fanboy and become a gamer.

[GIJeff]

america into this. My country is better than your country. deal with it.

[liquidsnake]

But he is right you know...about the variety on xbox. All of their top notch games are something involved with shooting. It's sad really.

[Skerj]

Hell yeah, I hope they have a "f*** yo couch!!" emotion for my Rick James Sackboi. I am also making Optimus Prime, a Hobo, Macgyver, and a Cybertron level. I wonder if we'll be able to use our own music for stage backgrounds, if so I have a ton of devious ideas.

[TheHater]

Thunder Cats...WTF???? I want to create a Thunder Cats level and characters

[kurochi]

A-team and Airwolf levels..... maybe I'll even throw in a Charles in Charge levels also......
Actually, I'll be throwing in a Ron Jeremy, Peter North and Randy West pineapple eating contest level..... LOL

[Skerj]

Dude like last July my friends and I were going to lunch and for some reason we started talking about Airwolf. Then I say "dude f*** Airwolf, the helicopter didn't even talk so KITT beats it" then we park at the mall and this black helicopter lands on the other side of the parking lot at the SAME time, Airwolf was watching me.

But yeah we should make like 80s live action world in LBP, complete with leather bomber jackets, KITT, the A-Team Van, AirWolf (boo!!), Charles in Charge (like you said), with like Dio and Highway To The Danger Zone playing in the background. Mr. Belvedere could be a boss, or maybe just a giant prop to get to a higher area in the level. He'll shout "Weeeeesleeeeeeeeey" when you get near him and throw you somewhere too.

In order to be in your sackboy has to have at least one of the following:
Checkered shoes
Piano Necktie
Leather Jacket
A shirt with an upturned collar (extra points if it's a polo shirt, more points if it's pink)
Flock of Seagulls hair
Poofy bangs

More stuff that will come to me later on. After we're done with 80s world, time to move on to the awesome of the early 90s with Saved By the Bell and MC Hammer.

[Keowrath]

ROFL Skerj! Bubbles mate! I saw the "f*** yo couch!!" sketch recently. You'll also need a "I'm Rick James Bish!" emote after you beat people!

I can't wait to see your character!

I was thinking of making a Solid Sackboy or a Guts the beserker Sackboy meself, need either a rediculously long bandana or a sword that is twice the size of the character.

[TheHater]

everytime I see this game, the kid in me keep coming out.

[HarryEtTubMan]

This is gonna be huge

[The Killer]

i gave u bubble many times!! well good luck! anyway its not hard to make another account and these bots dont get it that one post can be more than enough!

[demolitionX]

ya me 2 , i tried many times to give him bubbles, but somehow he's stuck on one. N4G is run by 360 fans, so they have ways to keep their bubbles and take ours. for example, i had like 5 bubbles before, and in 30minutes i was at one, now i have 2, good enough :P

[mighty_douche]

No console has had a game as imaginative as this before.

Sony always have been and always will be the king of INNOVATION!

[heyheyhey]

after seeing the gameplay demo i became addicted to this before i have even played it- although i suspect i will be even more addicted to the agency

EDIT: lol user created r-rated content, hopping around on giant pen0rs FTW!!!

[Darkiewonder]

NOW we can movie up, down, and side to side!

and oh... There CAN be R-rated stuff. I hope people don't just put up moving male organ that swings or you ride like a rocket because they think is funny. Hope the rating system will be good. and that there are online moderators to keep check on it.

[TheExecutive]

I cant even imagine what people will make... lol

[Darkiewonder]

You know what they'll make.

but oh god, I know what exactly I want to make but it may get my PSN account deactivated.

"Flaming Hoops" Just think about that and let's make it R-rated somehow lol.

[Devr]

I'm pretty sure you could always go front to back, Gamedaily just messed up.

[Darkiewonder]

Yes you can. but it was done automatically [based on the way the area] now you can freely move your player in the four directions.

[Devr]

Oh, that sounds great. :o

[Gaara_724]

c with they delay they gave us more stuff so in the end its beter and since im in games desingin course at college (4 years) and a course at universaty if i pass the collee course (1 year) i wil defenetly bye this game to give me more of an insite to makin levels ect

[TheHater]

good luck on you game design course dude.

[GIJeff]

First, learn how to "desingin" sentances.

[mighty_douche]

would that be "sentences" you smart ass?

[TheExecutive]

lol... oh man... thats classic.

[Farsendor1]

i keep changing my mind about this game part of me says it too kiddy and the gamer in me wants to play it for several days

[Devr]

It will have R-rated levels, just stop with the "kiddy" thing and follow the true gamer inside you. :P

[felidae]

that's why i love my Playstation 3 - because of games like this.

not some rehashed BS like GEARS 2 for the 360, which will look exactly like the first one - but some new and innovative games.

go Sony!

[solar]

yeah! they finally released a lil info on the emotion system. im still a lil confused as if its only controlled by us or if levels will somehow change the emotions. need...more...info...

this will be a fun game. :D and like what the hater said....it brings the kid outta me!

[Sevir04]

look forward to crafting something like a Tron inspired stage or even a gears of war stage... and get R rated with some Alien Vs Predator Sh*t ^^ man, the rips on different things you can make it'll be interesting to see how big this game gets. I sure hope Sony Bundles this and market this game like Halo, because the concepts of self created content isn't revolustionary but to the extent of how this game is doing it is. and with all this hope on the shoulders of this Game... Sony Better make this game mean something to the masses, i so am buying like 5 copies 3 for each of my PS3s and the other 2 can go to my friends that have PS3s...

[Devr]

I love this game, it is the true Ps3 killer app for me.

[Microsoft Knight]

Look at all the Sony Fanboys in this article drooling over a kids game which will be a complete flop anyway just like all the games on the PS3.
Nothing can save your POS console not even games like FF13 and MGS4 both which will be on the 360.
You might as well go and buy a 360 a real gaming console which has games like mass effect and Halo 3 which is the best game of the decade so stop waiting beyond and jump in Sony [email protected] suckers.

[TheHater]

I own both a ps3 and xbox360. and you need to STFU. First of all, Halo 3 is not the greatest game. FF13 and MGS4 are ps3 exclusive and will stay ps3 Exclusive. You need to start playing games, and not trash other people consoles.

[heyheyhey]

did a car hit her in the stomach?

also you have been swallowing a lot of M$ bullsh!t havnt you? sorry but the two best games of this year are on the ps3 and nothing else- not even on pc like most xbox games

[LaChance]

I promise y'all I just don(t see this game selling alot.
It's for casual gamers ok I know but those same casual gamers don't buy casual games on the wii(poor sware sales) so why would they buy this on PS3.
Moreover I don't really know wo you will have to tell me:I think the PS3 user base is made up of mostly movie addicts and hardcore gamers for the moment. If I'm wrong just correct with out getting violent and stuff cuz i'm not bashing the game (can't get a crazier idea than this game) i just think games loke Killzone would sell far more

[unlimited]

It better come out soon..Im getting really hyped up for LittleBigPlanet!!

[zonetrooper5]

I freakin loved VP and I gonna be LBP, god this game looks epic. ^_^

[kingboy]

Hope to see some demonstration vids soon..big game right here..heck this might even be ps3`s savior for the casual market

[Dmack79]

You could recreate any level of your favorite PS1, N64, Sega Dreamcast game, or whatever. This is gonna be one of the best games in 08! I can't wait. You could probably make something that resembles Mario or a Sonic, or Crash eventually. And with music playing in your backround and the ability to put your own pics in you level. With all this and the ability to create whatever you can imagine with the editor tools, there is almost no limit to what you can do!

I CAN'T WAIT
