Shee-it!! The game's coming out in Australia on the 7th... the game's coming out in Australia on the 7th... the game's coming out in Australia on the 7th... the game's coming out in Australia on the 7th... be strong, rich... be strong!!!
I wish we'd see some of the best ORIGINAL LittleBigPlanet levels posted once in a while, instead of just the tributes and knock-offs and remakes. Yes, this Gradius remake is cool to see. But the gameplay didn't look fast or challenging or (most importantly) fun.
The creator is clever to make it all work, and must have put a lot of effort into assembling this level... props to him/her for that! But it takes far less imagination or creativity to just copy an existing idea than it does to create something new.
I'm dying to see what unique ideas people can offer with this great level creation tool. Instead we get barely playable clones of 8- and 16-bit classic games while people fawn all over themselves about how LBP is the second-coming of gaming Jesus.
@AbnerOtter: First of all, I'm guessing you don't own the game as there are a ton of levels that are NOT tributes. Second of all, the ideas behind these tributes may not be original but it's not like they copy and pasted the game into LBP. It is absolutely mind blowing that someone was able to pull this off and it makes my head hurt trying to figure out how they actually did it. If you played around with the tools you would realize that things like this take a certain kind of person to make. I'm sorry you don't find them impressive but that might be easily remedied by actually playing the game.
While I agree that this took a great deal of imagination and creativity, I don't think it looks very fun. It's very slow-paced and boring. I'm not interested in playing levels just for the novelty.
@DTownsu: @Inanition: Boo Hiss. It's free and you don't have to play it if you don't want to. It's 5 minutes long tops and I'm sure that a more frantice version could be concocted with a little extra effort.
@KotakuFreund, @bigman88zz, no he's welcome to criticise, it's just a little dismissive to say that the level IS very slow paced and boring from having seen one video of it. Do we know that it can't be played through fatster? Nope.
Fair enough that he is not into playing for novelty but lots of people are. I just think that a lot of effort goes into this and that it is a very bah-humbug attitude to dismiss them out of hand as "boring".
Also, you have to have an attention span bordering on goldfish to get bored of anything in under 5 minutes. FACT. ;-)
@CitizenInsane27: Trying to ace it isn't he? Worst part is when you go through the really hard stuff and end up dying on a really simple jump. Oh man, that's so frustrating. :(
Well, at least I aced everything. Don't have to worry about death anymore. :D
