Megaton!(?): LBP3 to allow full 3D movement between "layers."

I feel like I should be more impressed. It's been some time since I've played LBP so I don't fully grasp the ramifications

I wouldn't say it fixes all of its problems. Still going to have to deal with depth perception.

If you can actually make flat out 3D perspective gameplay/environments then heck yeah it is.

Makes it easier for people that design levels that don't follow the traditional side scrolling platformer genre.
Im excited
this has always been a huge problem for me. I think the game is fantastic, if only it 'felt' good. It feels fucking weird still after playing for hours. BUT - I haven't played LBP 2, and 3 looks like each character moved differently. What would REALLY be a megaton is if you could set 'character physics/move speed / jump height' in custom maps.

Looking forward to this game so much.
It doesn't bother me, but I understand why others want it to be precise.
I'm starting to think I'm the only one who preferred the floaty jump physics

This is what I want. This is what I always wanted.

This game looks like it's going to be the best of LBP series so far, with tons of new options but it's going to be the most undervalued because of the timing.

All of the added logic/tools is going to be crazy on PS4 with NO limit on size.
I can't wait to see what gets made.

It's pretty big actually. The awkward plane shifting in the previous games got in the way of the platforming.

Is it a real 3d.movememt or is it just animation trick to make it look smooth but you always stop at one of the layer? If it's real 3d, with 16 lanes wide and camera perspective tweak, you can create a spot on crash bandicoot games.

By the way, whatever happened to Little Big Planet Hub?

They turned it into LBP3.
Nice. Looks like the game will be a bigger step forward than I thought. Should open the flood gates for people to go nuts with new types of levels. Might even be some Crash Bandicoot type levels if some talented creators can manipulate the camera a bit.
Didn't think much of it before, but definitely interested now.

It's apparently separate but very much not likely to come out before LBP3 http://lbp-hub.com/hub.php

I would think this to be an option as opposed to being the default controls. The E3 demo showed 2D controls on the layers, as the other games had.

Not only can you in LBP3, but I believe they allowed you to do this in some way in LBP2 as well.

I'd like to see even more Z-axis depth, but it just seems impossible until LBP4 for PS4 only. Until then we'll see some nice uses, but it wont be fully 3D until they give us fully 3D tools. Which seems like something for the PS4.
Also, the bigger megaton if any, is that they spoke about tighter controls/momentum

Agreed. They also said something similar regarding jumping physics did they not?
Maybe this means something else but from the recent PSBlog post:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/08/12/littlebigplanet-3-new-create-tools-and-features-detailed/
"Each hero can be fully costumed up just like Sackboy but you can also tweak them all in Create Mode to completely change their handling and abilities for your own levels!"
A few of the developers have come on here and stated that they are working to make the controls feel less floaty.

Isn't this going to still have smallish level size limits to accommodate the ps3 version? I kinda wish it wasn't cross gen.
Fay one regardless. <3 LBP.

It's got almost 0 competition this fall for family multiplayer. If Sony markets this decently toward young children and parents, it should do great.

Multiple characters, possible 3D movement... this is either going to be really cool or it's going to destroy what made the series work.

I've got to say, not quite the megaton I expect but it certainly pretty damn awesome. My faith in this installment grows the more I hear about it.
Indeed, hopefully it does very well. Hook them in this holiday with LBP3 and follow it up early next year with Tearaway and Ratchet to help the PS4 expand its userbase to the younger children/family orientated gamer.

one of the worst experiences with controls i have ever had was with the vita version of this game

This sentiment always confuses me. As someone getting into nintendo classics late in life, I found all the classic mario games to be floaty as fuck, and people love those games. Why are the physics in this game so hard to grasp? Keeping in mind for me I hate the feel of classic mario, love the feel of classic mega man, and love the feel of little big planet.
