Preorder bonus for LBP revealed by IGN (56K warning)

Costumes for Kratos and Nariko, the God and Goddess of War. The other two bonuses are a stickerbook (?), a pouch (??) and a mini-strategy guide.

I wasn't going to preorder this (I normally just walk into the store and buy a game unless its the type of game for which midnight launch parties are held) but while these bonuses aren't a big deal, they're cool enough for me to make an exception.

EDIT: I've added images of the pouch and the stickerbook, both of which I found on the PSBlog.

I love the textural details in the costumes they've been showing, and these are no exception to that detail.

When I get a PS3 (which might be relatively soon...this month maybe), this is at the top of my list of anticipated games.

I thought Kartos looked cool, until I saw the Nariko costume. S0lidSnake

SPOILER ALERT FOR HS

Yeah, considering what great characters Nariko and Kai were, I was surprised that Nariko wound up dead and Kai wound up alive, but cured of the insanity which made her so hilarious.

END SPOILER

Anyway, great costumes. It will be interesting to see what other costumes pop up (an Ico costume would be awesome).

Wow!!! I usually don't pre-order games when they offer downloadable content but this looks really cool. I'm loving the Kratos one! Hopefully they sell some sackboy plushies so I can put them with my collection of other video game plushies.

kind of sucky. i wanted to buy this one online, oh well. i really hope this is not a lamestop exclusive. thatll really piss me off.OneWingedAngeI

It sounds like different items will be available with different retailers. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon.com gets some sort of preorder bonus as well. I've got a Liberty City license plate that I got from Amazon with my GTA4 purchase.

I like how they chose both Kratos and Nariko for the costumes. They complement each other very well.

I wonder how it works though. Is there some key combination code inside the preorder cases you can use to activate the costumes or something?

I believe they are actual sackboy/girl dolls that come with the game, not an in game costume.

But its mentioned that they're downloadables.

Oops, my mistake. Yeah, I guess it is a code then. I'm hoping we can get some Sackboy plushy things at some point. I've seen fake ones, but I want the real deal.

Yeah that would be really cool, as long as they're reasonably priced. If that's the case, then I might have to buy a PS3 real soon. I'm a sucker for pre-order bonuses and this one's no exception. Also, I hope the costumes have their own little signature animations as well. Imagine Kratos sackboy using his blades to latch onto a platform right as he hops. That would rock.

I hope the UK gets these bonuses too.

That Kratos costume looks awesome. I also hope the Killzone costumes come with it too.

I'll be making an Old Snake skin..... I dont care if that takes me hours, but it will be a work of art. I DARE all of you to beat mine!!!S0lidSnake

did you check these pics, they look cool :lol:

1 and 2

Have you guys all read this Edge preview?

From these relatively simple components the team has already made RPGs, complex platformers with numerous stages and hub worlds, and puzzle games like Tetris. It's even made a version of OutRun, which simulates the changing road ahead by moving about a set of painted strips of wood on hinges.

I keep telling people this game isn't a platformer! :P

The ability to make even a really rudimentary action rpg could be pretty cool. When I first heard about LBP I started collecting odd images and sketching out levels, but since I seem to learn something new about the engine with each preview, nowadays I content myself with collecting images.

ahh ****!

the first one looks cool, but I can definitely do better.

wow. I always wondered if we could make a racing level. I didnt think a 2D side scroller racing game would work because since it's in 2D, the cars wouldnt be able to pass each other, in a two car race, one car would always be behind.

Make two floors, each with it's own car. Maybe allow the two floors to switch back and forth in some way, but this allows the two cars to be able to move, with one being the leader, but allowing either to take lead easily without having to push the leader car out of the way.

Think of it as a vertical form of Slot Car Racing.

LBP levels are dual level (there is a foreground and a background one can hop into and out of). I saw a level on an Xplay demo of LBP which aired on Monday which had two chariots racing, one on a track in the foreground, one on a track in the background.

link please. I've spent the past hour checking out LBP trailers, this game has more trailers than all of MGS games combined.*

*obvious exaggeration.

Thanks man, That looked great!!

Whats more impressive is how fast the game looks during the racing levels. The TGS demo had this skateboard rolling down the level and man it moved fast!

I have some delicious info:
