gofreak said:2D barcodes you can scan in with Eye to load a level? Great for promoting levels, via magazines etc. etc. Linking straight to a level from the real world
This is the kind of stuff that has been done for a while in Europe and Asia. I guess just catching up with the times here in the States.

Yeah, I've seen it with mobile phones and stuff.
Putting it into LBP makes so much sense.
The current linkability of LBP levels is ZERO. There is no direct way to direct people to your level except telling them to search for it.
Now you can 'link' to it like you can a webpage on the web.
This will dramatically improve the discoverability and marketability of user levels...along with the level queuing on lbp.me and so on. This is a big big deal for what might seem a small point.
(I hope it's something that will extend to LBP1 btw. No reason it shouldn't, would be good for all for it to work for any level, LBP1 or LBP2).

A few months ago I heard from a very reputable source that LBP2 was currently on course for an end of year release (I was actually surprised that the game was even in production as I presumed it would be something suitable for an early next gen release). Hopefully they're still on track and most of us here will be playing it come Christmas Day.

More specifically you can change the behaviour of your character...vs the physics per se. But I suppose if you make all your characters control a certain way as if in a certain physical context, it's much of a muchness.
Sackboy will still control as sackboy, it's worth mentioning also. But now you can create other 'sackbot' protagonists with their own custom behaviour in your levels, specifically targeting those who want to replicate a given set of behaviour they have in mind from other games.

Finally a game that isn't so completely limited in scope. It disgusts me how narrow focused games are today, how nobody even bothers trying for the flexibility of older PC games. I was all set to rain shit upon this thread, but this news is exactly as it should be.

Haha, I remember posting this after I came back from visiting Media Molecule studios last year.

I'm really excited about the customization of the HUD. I can't wait to see this game in screenshots and videos. Cause some of the things they are talking about, I have an idea in my mind of how they might be, but I'm not sure. No matter what, I'm buying this game.

If they deliver with LBP2 they'll have a 50% success rate.AranhaHunter said:
That said if they deliver with LBP2 they'll be taking a MASSIVE step in the right direction in the evolution of gaming.

It definitely has the same charm of the original, outside of a super new coat of paint.MNC said:

The original was so fucking cool that I would get lost for hours looking up other peoples levels using the search engine. I would type in stuff like "Ghostbusters" and just try out every level that people created. The sequel sounds absolutely incredible.
OK what I'm about to say is unpopular, but I figure as a collective, GAF should consider it:
I don't think we should hype ourselves to the moon over the game at this stage. I did the same thing with LBP1 and was completely let down 6 months later. Hate on me LBP-heads, I like the game, I just don't 'love' it. As long as the platforming is fixed, I will consider it one of the greatest, if not the greatest platformer of ALL time, however-
this talk of it being a jack-of-all trades game has me a bit worried.
Its hard to believe that these guys can deliver such a title with only a 20-something large studio, unless I'm missing something, wouldn't delivering a game of this scope require quiet a large team? I have bad feeling of R2 happening all over again :-/. I want to be impressed, don't get me wrong, but I feel my hesitation is warranted.
Fake Edit:
It would be really cool of having a "moon" dedicated to levels that MM has hearted. I hate typing without a keyboard on the Triple. love you guyz MM

Hopefully we'll be getting another awesome beta.
Though it's kinda sad that the most fun I had with LBP was during the beta period.
I also find it pretty hilarious that videos of the Shadow of the Colossus level are among the first search results on youtube.
At the time it got featured on IGN, the 1upshow and on gamespy.
My minute of fame. :lol

Sounds meh to me, don't care about creating stuff except the platforming which sounds like there would be no change.
I though MM didn't want to do a sequel but create a new IP.

I'd reiterate what I said earlier - considering the scope of the first's tools, and how they delivered on that, I've every faith they can deliver on their plans for this. MM knows how to pick their battles. I'd also note - though it's not hugely important - but they're no longer a 20-something team. They've grown to about 40 people now. Still small by most dev's standards these days, but bigger than they were when they made the first.
