LittleBigPlanet Does Limbo

Via Kotaku: "Limbo is a wonderful black-and-white game from Playdead that has been a marquee title for the Xbox 360's summer of arcade (we like it). LittleBigPlanet is a modder's delight on the PS3. Of course, someone combined the two.

Below is a Limbo-inspired level made in LittleBigPlanet. It is called, Limbo, Son of the Forest. The creator is Bra2008."

About time.

I always thought the level title should be like "LittleBigLimbo" / something like that.

Nice video.

[Thrillhouse]

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the title. :P

I still need to get both LBP and Limbo D:

[Rot_in_Fail]

Endless possibilities. I can't wait to see what creative people will do with LBP2.

[0mega4]

when i saw limbo i thought it was a level of little big planet.

oh well a guess little big planet one upped LImbo

[hobo51]

ya omg lbp2 is basically gonna left all the limitations lbp1 had, i think lbp2 is really gonna be more then a game but an experiment of human sociality, seeing really the endless amount of things we can imagine and finally being able to put that on interactive paper!!!!

[himdeel]

...and the fact that you can re-create the entire Limbo game is just fantastic and I'm certain scary at the same time for the Developers of the original game.

[3monthsp]

going by this sing "demo" that lacks almost all the interactive scenes, and the only one is a shooting cardbord guy... you can't.

[fooltheman]

well littlebigplanet 2 will have the possibility to make cutscenes..
So that should be solved

[Darkfocus]

LBP FTW

[DMason]

You really think you can recreate the entire Limbo game with LBP? Think again smart guy.

That was a fantastic level with some very creative thinking, but it didnt replicate Limbo in the slightest.

He's doing his interpretation of Limbo, a homage to a great and very creative title. But you cannot recreate the game in it's entirety.

Think before type.

[ExplosionSauce]

But how about in LBP2...? :P

[J-Smith]

wow well cool. LBP is another amazing ps3 only game. can't wait to see what people do with LBP2 soon

[DORMIN]

LBP never ceases to amaze me.

[Darkstorn]

This is awesome. I guess if we can't have the actual game, we can just make it! LBP FTW!

[Immortal321]

I want lbp2 but I also want gt5, but when the price drop for lbp2, kz3 will be released, then I would want that game. Now that I have both kz3 and gt5(in the future) infamous2 is coming! (SH*T)

eureka! I'll just purchase lbp2 when there aren't any good games in 2011, but 1 problem, what if twisted medal gets me hype?

[zootang]

I think it's amazing that if you have enough talent, you can make a game within a game which is similar to another game made on a different platform.

On a console!

[user1337]

enough patience as well.

[rdgneoz3]

Just wait till LBP2 when you can create your own cut scenes to make games even closer to the original, that and the better AI you can program.

[Johnny_Bravo]

That one isn't that great, I played one yesterday that did the entire first level up to the giant spider part, and it was dead on. There was a few things not possible in LBP that Limbo did, but the creator did a perfect job recreating that level. The amount of detail and how good it looked compared to Limbo was really impressive.

[despair]

do you remmeber the name of the level, would love to play it.

[himdeel]

...or the creators name :)

YouTube link.

If there's any.

[NYC_Gamer]

LBP really brings the variety back to console gaming

[Prcko]

hahahaha i didn't even know that this is possible,so we have limbo on ps3,and we can edit the game how we want,but xbox can't ,that's really cool!

[tdrules]

that looks nowhere near as good as Limbo don't be delusional

[Neo Nugget]

It looks good for being a completely different game.

[N4PS3Fanboys]

It looks like Limbo, but obviously it doesn't play anything like it...

[PickAShoe]

No shit! Captain Obvious

[trane07]

And you know whats funny? That so far the ONLY exclusive 360 game of 2010 that didn't outright flop, that actually "met" expectations, or lived up to its hype is a 15 dollar xboxlive title that can be dupicated into a well done homage with the LBP engine on the ps3.

And all you can do is say, "it doesn't play like it!!" Really? You're grasping at straws. THIN straws.

[chasegarcia]

please post the name of the level you played. if you remember.

[Colonel-Killzone]

Wow...

[N4BmpS]

Why I love LBP. It's actually like a Limbo Comedy (for lack of a better term)

[ChozenWoan]

... or Homage depending on your point of view.

[Cirran]

Well just wait for LBP2. You will be able to create the whole of limbo, combining every level into a whole game.

[Alos88]

That bit with the gears was genius.

[AliTheBrit19]

Really cool, think I might fire up the game just for this level.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Amazingly creative!

[Baltis]

Pretty impressive. The level editor tools of LBP just seemed to taxing to me. I always wanted to make good levels and what not, but it just never panned out. I always got bored and erased them. I still have my Indiana Jones/Tarzan level I need to finish from when the game launched, actually. It was on its way to being a 5 star level but I just lost interest and the time and patients to go through with it.

This level here, though, is nice. Very talented person did that.

Edit for all the people taking pot shots at the level:

Yes, Limbo is good. I loved playing it. But I don't own an xbox 360 and I won't buy one for Limbo alone. A 15 dollar downloadable game. Just not worth it to me. This Level here should, if you were true fans of Limbo, be something you all could look at and say "wow, that's awesome" Someone loved Limbo enough to try and recreate it on the PS3. You all are too quick to judge the other console owners and the talents this guy had to make this level using LBP.

Again, I enjoyed Limbo and I only own aPs3. But that doesn't stop me from thinking this is a cool thing that someone did for Ps3 owners that don't have limbo or wanted to try an alternative.

[starvinbull]

Speak to the Team Eagle guys they might help you out.

They have a level with dozens of fonts so you dont need to make your own and amy2979 of Team Eagle makes all kinds of really good furniture which most people can't be bothered to do normally.

If you wanted to make a costume tutorial they even have a copy and paste type template that makes it really easy to just add the relevant stickers and instructions and publish it looking quite stylish.

LBPC make and giveaway all the best logic if you aren't technically minded as does the_pinkpanther who helps people out sometimes.

There's no excuse if you struggle on your own there's always people who can help out.

[sayonara89]

360 fanboys are very funny here :D

[DelbertGrady]

If you can't have the real thing I guess this will have to do.

[starvinbull]

Direct control seat alone would make it possible to recreate a near identical clone bar the visuals.

I suspect that when LBP2 comes out most of the best creators won't attempt making a Limbo clone though, there are much better games worthy of copying.

[NegativeCreepWA]

I wish I never traded in LBP. oh well, just have to wait for LBP2.

Did they ever make it so you can play co-op in the level editor?

[HelghastKid]

Yea few patches ago, but i still prefer to make levels on my own

[NegativeCreepWA]

I was trying to make a four player helicopter, it was a bitch doing it by myself and it would of been easier when making lvls that require more then one player.

Its good to know the feature is there now, so I can expect to so see in LBP2.

[despair]

hmm LBP2 could really do something really close to Limbo from the features I've seen, something to look forward to.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I'm blown away, but LittleBigPlanet will do that to you.

[tiamat5]

Nice work. People can be so creative it makes me jealous.I can't fathom the things people will make with LBP2.

[TheMART]

It has the same look in black/white, but that gameplay is by far and then BY FAR what the real Limbo gives.

So, cool, creative, but the same game? Not really.

[ActionBastard]

In Limbo, you jump...and you grab. That's its gameplay. REVOLUTIONARY huh?

[WLPowell]

There isn't that much to Limbo, it has a unique visual style and that's pretty much it. everything except the gravity part in Limbo can be recreated in LBP. Give someone the same amount of time the devs of Limbo had and you'll be surprised at what LBP is capable of.

[Dark_king]

umm you can alter gravity in LBP with a few tricks.

[BornToKill]

pretty talented

[Sikct9a]

Calm down xbots, we know its not the same game. Some people here need to loosen up. Great job with this level btw.

[OGharryjoysticks]

See kiddies, you can play Limbo for free if you own a copy of LBP. Granted it's not exact but for the price it can't be beat.

By the way, did anybody ever wonder if some of these types of levels were ever made by somebody that worked on the related game? PSN ID's could really be anybody, and developers are gamers too.

[Man_of_the_year]

Limbo was $15

LBP was $70

So.....it looks like for the price it CAN be beat. Just buy the real thing.

[ActionBastard]

LBP (in the States) was $60, now it's $30. And not only do you get LBP, but you get homages to Contra, Limbo, Pacman, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Gradius, Phantasy Star Online and countless other great user created levels.

[Man_of_the_year]

@ Action Bastard

I agree. But that is NOT what DIRTYHAIRYJOYSTICK said now is it?

He said "See kiddies, you can play Limbo for free if you own a copy of LBP. Granted it's not exact but for the price it can't be beat."

I said yes it can...the actual REAL game which is only $15. He didn't mention ANY other games that LBP can mimic. He was specific with Limbo.

it's not your fault really, you are programed by the SDF to react first, think second.

[Newtype]

Create, Play, Share.

[dizzleK]

when lbp2 is released, i want designers to form a collective whose goal is to recreate action 52 game by game.

[BannedForNineYears]

Lol, the entire game (Limbo) could be recreated in LBP. xD
And considering you can pick up LBP for 14-26 dollars.
Who would choose Limbo over LBP? -_-

Oh, and did I mention it's multiplayer on the PS3 version? :D

[Prcko]

amazing!
