I was in the LBP beta and was hardcore obsessed with the level creator when it first came out, but when I saw how the game I slaved over creating for over a week disappeared off the globe within hours (along with some of the best levels created by users during the beta), while "OMG ROCKET CAR!!!" levels remained permanently on the globe, I gave up on it. It became like trying to get a video noticed on youtube, virtually impossible, and because so many gamers set up "if you heart I'll heart" arrangements with other gamers in forums etc an endless stream of absolutely terrible user created levels seemed to dominate what was easily findable. Unless they have fixed this, and made it easier for people to get their levels played by others, levels that weren't made in 5 minutes with a video game reference in the title, I won't bother with LBP 2.

you only played the beta? No, I was in the beta and then got the game at launch. I was able to further work on the level I created (during the beta) for the first week or so after launch, and after I finally published it I noticed that you had to babysit your level or constantly republish it for anyone to actually see or play your level. I found this unbelievably frustrating. I felt like there was no reward for all the hard work I had put in to it, sadly. I had two other levels worked out that I thought were fantastic, but after seeing my first game disappear I decided there was no rational reason to continue and I stopped playing the game or doing any creating. I really loved the game, especially the creation tools, so I was kind of crushed by this aspect. It's no fun to slave on something you take great pride in, only to watch it disappear from the first globe level and sink deeper and deeper until it could not be found.
The first has unlimited replay value. Theres no need for this. But nice to whoever wants it.

Man seriously LBP2 is miles better than LBP1. been playing the beta for so long now, its absolutely fantastic. why not trade in your LBP 1 copy towards LBP2? i'll probably do that since everything i made and everything i played on LBP 1 is going to be on LBP 2. graphics are also much better than the first. this is going to be a fanatastic game
I probably would if i felt like i was done with the 1st game but theres still so much stuff i need to see (even if support was to suddenly die).
I hope they go 3D for LBP3, seems like the next logical step. I wanna see people create SMG, Jak and whatever original they come up with.
This game has mouse/keyboard support right? If so, hell yeah I'm getting it, day **** one.

I heard it wouldn't be up Day one, but through an update. Maybe they will have it day one, now that they delayed it, but that is what they said before.
Won't be getting it right away, as I haven't even finished the first game. Will most likely get it in the summer next year. I'm in no rush. The Limited Edition doesn't impress me at all.

I'm assuming it's day one now, because of the delay.

I like the old boxart better. I wanted a PS3 for LBP but I never got around to getting it and I won't be able to afford this one when it comes out. A real shame.
Ya, i'm gettign this for sure. The first one was so well done, and it got so hard by the end. Level creation was fun, but time consuming. If you didn't have 'focus' on what you wanted to create, it would just fail. LBP2 FTW
Hopefully someone else does it :P, dont know if i can, getting too busy lately and hype threads are usually filled with info which means lots of search on my part :P
This was going to be what I asked for for Christmas, but it looks like I'll be buying it with my Christmas money instead. I just hope I don't get stuck with a bunch of crappy gift cards this year that I have to trade with people. :evil:
I didn't get the first one, I didn't get this one either. I'm not interested in the series (and I suck at 2D platforming)funsohng
TRUST me. There is no way you will suck at this 2D platforming. To give you an idea, I got my GIRLFRIEND to play the first one and she could get through most levels (she had never played video games in her life). You only need to use 2 buttons for gods sake!
Mass Effect 2, Little Big Planet 2, Dead Space 2. In the same month. Might even be the same 2 weeks (we still dont know when Mass effect 2 is coming out.)
Same here. I need that sackboy plush for my desk at work. :D
That and the bookends ( yeah, like I'm going to be using it for books :roll: ) adds functionality that you don't normally see with collelctor's editions.
