LBP Beta MADNESS, Mario, Donkey Kong and RROD level, first review inside.

[QUOTE="WillieBeamish"]This game is a case of a really great idea, some nice graphics, and a sound theory. Then the reality of it is that actually playing the game is going to consist of simply navigating a 2D level by walking, jumping and grabbing on to objects. Once you catch on to that, its like you are pulling the curtain open on the wizard of oz and realizing its not all you hoped it would be.carlisledavid79

The fact that its on ps3 is the only reason you're bashing it.

Bingo!! If this was a 360 title, he would toting GOTY material. FACT!

Aside from that the game does not look like it's for me.

[QUOTE="W1NGMAN-"]People hating on LBP? I didn't think that was even possible :oFragTycoon

anything is possible in SW :P

I tip my hat to a rational statement *thumbs up* :D

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]Is it me...or does the actual platforming in the game look kind of slow and boring?yoshi_64

I thought the same exact thing

Sure you can create stuff, but can you make weapons, abilities, or other things to do as well? That's what I want to know. Jumping on enemies to kill them is ... limited. I'm sure you can create a giant monster than kill it with some custom made trap too, but can you maybe give your Sack boy a bat, mega-buster, or something?

Also if you can control the game's effects like how high you can jump, or far, or fast you can move, and all that, it'd be wicked too.

The original Super Mario Bros. at it's core involved going from left to right and jumping on enemies and that game blowed and no one played it, right?

No, there's no "power ups", but using the physics you can make some seriously fun and creative things. The gameplay may seem dull to some, but they need to understand that it's all about simplicity. Sometimes less is more if you catch my drift?

They pretty much owned Microsoft.Cant wait for it to come out.

[QUOTE="W1NGMAN-"]People hating on LBP? I didn't think that was even possible :ochazasul

Hating? Not really

Not interested? YES

It doesnt look good as a platform game, specially gameplay-wise

Have you seen any of the actual levels? They're not quick mess around things like the ones you see here, they're much more intricate. I think the game looks very fun on it's own without the creative aspect. Some of the levels created at Parson's LBP Game Jam are easily of the standard of a decent platformer.

Yes, i'v seen many levels, the gameplay is floaty, slow and looks imprecise. The game is very cute and funny to look at, the phisics also look impressive, but i dont see myself wanting to play it again and again like Mario games.

When compared to a platformer like SMG, LBP seems very...poor.

Its biggest draw is to create levels and play them once or twice, if the gameplay doesnt have that razor sharp preciseness and variety seen in the best platforms it wont be a game to be played for years and years like the best platformers are

[QUOTE="Fawlcon_Pawnch"]Funny how the first thing they do is emulate nintendo gamesfinalfantasy94

Every time a game as user created contant there is a mario like level or mod or some sort of nintendo thing. This is a fact. Its not just LBP its every game.

Sub is way more superior than dub!

Well I think it looks like it handles fantastically and it's perfect for gameplay that involves timing and precision. So it's just a case of opinion rather than an actual flaw of the game.

Comparing the controls to SMG is funny too with the whole "waggle to spin" mechanism. The controls are far from perfect. I understand what you're saying by LBP being floaty but it's just different, not necessarily bad. It certainly doesn't look imprecise.

Oh, and the "play them once or twice" thing is just silly. How many platformers have you played where you have revisisted the levels over and over? You play through the game and most of time, that's it. If you liked it a lot then you might play through it again. Again, SMG is an interesting comparison as most players, myself included, just played and earnt the star in the world and never went back to that stage. Only the more dedicated player will actually think "Oh hey, that level was fun. I think I'll get that star again for giggles". So yeah, playing a level once or twice sounds about right to me.

EDIT: Oh, and people will be playing this for years and years because not only will amazing levels emerge from new talent, the game will have new tools and materials coming in the form of patches. What platformers have you been playing for "years and years" anyway? I don't care how good a game is, unless you're actually getting new content like LBP then it's not going to last me years because it's just the same game over and over again.

I'm just wondering... do people actually still get that kind of comedic hilarity out of a hardware issue? If so, I think some people need to check out some real comedy.BioShockOwnz

I just found the concept of red rings raining from the sky amusing. :P

RROD Level.

PS3 = Happy Gamers :lol: I Lol'ed

LBP Wii port on the way

those are so lame that I don't even know why you'd link people to those videos. I wouldn't be so open about hyping a game where so far all I've seen have been pathetic attempts at recreating levels from previous games. It'd be one thing if something impressive could be shown, but so far it's laughable that this is receiving so much hype right now. Nedemis

Agreed, This game is way over hyped. From everything I have seen its not a game I would enjoy. I honestly dont think I would enjoy making levels, and the platforming looks slow and sluggish.

I agree with you there on the gameplay aspect of it. Why does jumping seem more of a chore then an actual action in the SM level remake?

[QUOTE="yoshi_64"]Not bad, pretty interesting. Though now I just wonder about the gameplay. All you really can do is jump and maybe pose? Or are there other things... I've yet to read the review, just watched the gameplay footage but I'm heading to the review. :P I want this game though, I wonder how unlimited it will be... :P POJO_MOFO

Here is a link to the Tetris level for anyone interested. Pretty amazing.

Its a platformer:| , do you want him to carry a gun or something?

Where the hells the gameplay?

This games seems to be pathetically lacking in any substance.

Well I think it looks like it handles fantastically and it's perfect for gameplay that involves timing and precision. So it's just a case of opinion rather than an actual flaw of the game. chazasul

Of course its my opinion. Its my opinion that its floaty gameplay will be a flaw as far as good platformers go, one that i wished wasnt there:(

Comparing the controls to SMG is funny too with the whole "waggle to spin" mechanism. The controls are far from perfect.chazasul

Are you kidding me? Say what you say about SMG but its gameplay was flawless to the point that there is no discussion to have here. If you'v played SMG you know that the "shake to spin" thing was pretty darn precise, i'v never heard anyone complaining about how they missed an enemy because of the motion thing.

I understand what you're saying by LBP being floaty but it's just different, not necessarily bad. It certainly doesn't look imprecise.

chazasul

Yes, it looks different, its looks funny and it certanly wont be bad, still, the gameplay looks floaty and imprecise, but i'l want to give it a shot at creating a personal level, and thats its biggest draw, the creator tool set.

People still play Mario Bros, Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 today. MANY people play them and finish them dozens of times, Galaxy, more than SM64, will follow this trend and be played and replayed for years. There are people already doing it now, and why? Gameplay, if a platform fails at delivering near perfect gameplay it will eventually be left aside.

Where the hells the gameplay?

This games seems to be pathetically lacking in any substance.

No a game that looks like its actaully fun to PLAY.

But then again cows seem to hype anything half-way decent these days.

was that entertaining?

is this what ps3 fans prefer over gears2?

Ugh why do i bother coming here, soooo many damn fanboys. People just bash the games when they havent played a second of it. Same thing happened with Too Human when people were saying the gameplay looked terrible yet when you pick it up and play it its wicked. LBP is getting so much hate its amazing, play the game before you say the gameplay is boring you buncha fanboys.bonethug1213

So now stating an opinion on a game based on a video is a crime? I'm sure you've done it plenty of times.

No one said the game was crap. They're just saying the videos were boring(Which I agree with. And that RROD video wasn't funny either :P)

Take a chill pill.

Must have.rockguy92

Are those Burnout trophies? And is it downloadable now?

:D Hm...that's 3 games that I must buy now. I'll be downloading it later on then. (Scratches neck and twitches while looking at the trophies.) :)

It doesn't seem lke you can do much with sackboy. All you can do is run, jump and dance.

The levels look awesome, but it looks like there's many limitations with the Sackboy.

My thoughts exactly.

[QUOTE="ONLYDOD"]lol @ RROD level.hopesfall2own

Correction: 30 second of USER GENERATED pointless fanboy bs.

I'm sorry I own an Xbox 360 and there is no way I could possibly play this game, or have a negative opinion on this game. Because if I do that I am put in the place of "just bashing it because it's not on the system I choose to buy"

The game does not look that great, yes everyone will have a good time making levels for about a minute, then they will all realize that the game is lame and has no real sustanance. It does look floaty and slow moving, I've also seen the video of the bike ramp stunt thing on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV06R-bzDOg it still doesn't really impress me. My cousin will probably get it and I will get to see it first hand and play it or even create a level even though I'll get board half way thru doing it.

Point is COWS people can have an opinion of a game if it's not on the system they bought. I'm sure you have passed your judgement on GeoW 2 and Halo series, and those are games your just mad you can't play because they appeal to just about every adolesent male or female(possibly) out there, they are not just some cheesey level creator that you can play thru and wave hello at the screen with your character.

Do you really think this is the first thing they did?

Wow the jealousy in this thread is beginning so quickly.

I bet you thought it was awesome when you could remake levels from other games in halo 3 using forge

OMFG!!!!!!!! THEY STOLE MY IDEA!!!!! :cry: i was gonna make a rrod level!PSfanboy101

You could still make one considering I would call that a "level", as much as I would call a load screen a cut scene. :|

My hype for this game is going up to the roof.

Here are the videos for you to enjoy watching and soon playing.
