Little Big PlanetFrost* (2nd test video added)

[Pedro]

Well, it's crummy quality video but here is a glimpse of one of my first tinkerings with the level creation tools of Little Big Planet on Playstation3.

Like I say, it's a bit fuzzy so you can't read the "Hi Frost*ies..." text but it does give a glimpse of some early possibilities.

Should be feasible to develop a good music based puzzle level with a full-on Frost*y feel for players around the world to have a go at.  

Edit: 2nd test video

That's amazing ! I've never heard of this game (probably cause I dont have a PS3 either) but man it sure is becoming top of my xmas wish list now  :mrgreen:

[catherine]

Want one... NOW!

[Philadelphia]

That is SO cool! When people get bored with their PS3s in a couple of years I'm gonna buy one cheap. (;-)

Thanks guys.  

The bogglingly clever bit is that every bit they used in the playable bit of the game becomes available for you to make your own levels. Even that Vision On - Gallery music is useable. You can even take apart the supplied levels to find out how they were done.

Creating huge solid shapes out of anything from carboard to sponge, steel to stone is ludicrously easy.

Every different technique is humourously tutorialised with the excellent Mr Fry's voice-over. You can create just about anything in this game and the toolbox just keeps growing and growing.

The ability to make your own stickers (used to decorate or paint items) using an add-on "Eye" camera makes custom themed decoration very possible.

Just playing the supplied levels is enormous fun. I've had several laugh-out-loud moments (been a while since a game did that) and I've only just scratched the surface....

Cooperative play is even more fun, my lad and I were in fits of laughter earlier on when we both grabbed hold of a rocket-propeller car thingy and we looped insanely out of control across the screen!

I'm planning on making at least one decently challenging Frost*-flavoured level and uploading it to the PSN community for the world to play. Time is the only enemy, of course, getting it right and good enough for others to play isn't a 5-minute job....but it is a whole bunch of fun.

absolutely awesome, Pedro.

my son just bought a PS3, so I sent him the link, and told him he needs to get LBP.

[Gig Buddy]

Just brilliant Pedro!

[Big Black Shed]

Awesome.

Is it too late to call you:
