Can you tell us your idea.

That was my email. I made up a really artsy level on the fly because that usually seems to impress. :P

I'm going to get my hands on this juggernaut of fun called LBP beta within 48 hours. My comment was in the 900s out of a 1000 on the LittleBigPlanet.com comment contest. Hopefully I'll get it by tomorrow.

I know this was posted earlier, but It's so fantastic I wanted to post it again.

Hollow Bastion

Really goes to show that with enough work you can actually change the mood and atmosphere of a level. While LBP is usually a very cute and cuddly game, this level actually produces a creepy feel despite all of that - It's really impressive.

Now a quick question for beta tester and general public?

What is the difference between the beta and the final build?

What do you expect to see?

I don't have any idea cause I'm not in the beta :(

Okay I watched that and still I'm not seeing anything in the gameplay department. Its like I said. Transverse fanservice create a level by walking and jumping.

There are no enemies there are no abilities other then jumping.

What is this game showing in the gameplay factor that other platformers do not have?

Oridinally, platformers stick to basic jump mechanics on intricately designed levels, and of course some special powerups change it up a little (by tweaking the jumping mechanics). In general, I think that the creativity of the level design, and the pacing, is usually what separates the mediocre platformers from the excellent (in addition to fine-tuned controls that don't add unneccessary frustration).

LittleBig planet has fantastic style and charm, I'll give it that, but what I am not seeing from littlebigplanet is the difficulty and the adrenaline-style pacing of most great 2d platformers, like the DKC series, or the 2d mario titles. The lack of powerups (is the jetpack the only one?) also means taht ultimately its just going to be the same two mechanics repeated over and over again with the only difference being purely cosmetic.

Beta doesn't have the full story, and there is a set limit of levels you can publish.

I expect in-game music, bigger space to work with (for some reasons I always reach the limits on my maps...)

There are anti-gravity items already in it.

Don't get me wrong though, I think LBP looks fun, and being a creative person myself, I could see wasting hours coming up with new levels and crazy contraptions for my own personal amusement and the personal joy of others (hopefully). Ultimately, having a deep diverse level creator does not excuse a game's limited, simple gameplay. LBP does not seem as excellent as what most here are hyping it to be, and that's why I have made it a point to question it's hype level.

I just got my beta code through the 1up contest today ...... downloading now. I'll let you know my unbiased opinions of it in a few days ........ or sooner if my head explodes.

Add one more genre LBP can be classified as.

Oh my God, I'm F'ing blown away by the beta. I can't wait to start creating my level tomorrow! :Dlantus

Just wait, when the final game ships it will be even better. I'm kind of sad because I wanted to play the game for the first time when I pick it up, but nonetheless, this beta has completely reassured me that my money was well spent pre-ordering it. :D

I am pleased to hear that. Can't wait for Oct 21st!

[QUOTE="Espada12"]I agree with blackbond.. don't see what is special at all. It's basically Super Mario World where you can build your levels and minus coopas!Blackbond

No Super Mario World had.....

1. Tornado Jump
2. Cape
3. Fire Ball
4. Underwater levels with swimming
5. Yoshi's

Little Big Planet has....

Jumping...?

Jet packs.

The ability to grab onto objects

You can drive cars

You can move all body parts individualy

head smash

Want anymore???

I was very excited for this before, but recently with the beta out and seeing some stuff my interest has declined. Just moves too slow...

But my friend had gotten me a beta key, so I will be downloading it this evening and possibly trying it out then. If I don't like it, maybe I'll buy Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia or FarCry 2 instead or something. I think I'll love it in the end. :)

I got my hands on a beta key last night, and I've spent some good time with the game.

However it looks in videos, the controls feel pretty responsive. Grabbing onto things and swinging around is very fun. And the title just oozes charm, almost effortlessly. The presentation is spot-on, from the narrator to the Sackboy's facial expressions to the cardboard pod to the really great soundtrack. Playing it, it's hard not to like it.

The story levels that exist in the beta are only tutorials, but they're well put together, and there are tons of objects and items scattered throughout that you can use for your levels, your pod, or your sackboy. And finding all of these objects is no easy task.

I need to try more user-levels before I can comment on them. I've played one of the better ones, but I can't judge them all off of that. Need to try more random stuff later.

All in all, it's very, very fun to play, beyond random issues related to it being a beta, and stuff involving the instability of my internet connection when run on a PS3. I'm really looking forward to the full release.

this might be old but i thought this level was made really well and had an old school feel to it .

Furbyballistik

Don't think I'll get in.

Only 21 more days.

Further impressions:

I spent a little time in the 'build' mode. There's a great series of tutorials that walk you through all the functions. It's very easy to follow, and with every tutorial you do, you unlock more items to use in the game, which is a good encouragement to keep going. All the functions are pretty easy to wrap your head around mechanically, and they aren't hard to do. So making a level is pretty straightforward. Getting everything just right, though, can be a bit more of a task. Still, I was impressed, and at some point, I'll try to put something worthwhile together.

Playing more user levels was interesting. They can be kinda hit or miss. Some are very clever, with unique challenges and clever uses of the game's mechanics. Others are little more than tech demos. And some just aren't that well made. But because the base mechanics are sound, they're usually fun to go through. I've seen a lot of different kinds of levels, and I'm curious to see what else people come up with in the final game.

All in all, it's met all my expectations, and I had them set pretty high.

Always good to hear that a person's expectations have been satisfied ^,^

I'm still waiting for my beta code email from LittleBigPlanet.com 1000 comment contest, I'm in the 900s. Anyway, I'm glad I'll have a chance to play this master piece. I hope they also have a demo and I believe if you get that demo it'll have enough content to keep you entertain for the rest of October and you don't have to buy the full game at all.
