LBP3 and other exciting tales!

Muhaha! I'm sure my thread title had a few fists shaking for a moment.

I might be wrong but I'm sure I heard Mm say they were moving towards full 3D games for their next project, I figured some early speculation would be fun. Assuming they're keeping the same aspect of creation how do you think this would work?

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing something like Minecraft with all the features of LBP. You could use the corner editor to make the big blocks into more complex shapes, and it could all have physics and pistons and stuff!

Or maybe something like the current LBP but with hundreds more layers and a more flexible camera!

yeah it wil be just like LBP2 then in 3d

Could be a few problems with that though, like rotating on the Z-axis. Not that it wouldn't be a nice first step :P

Which 3D?

The z-axis 3D :D

Not at all, considering that Mm keeps their original aspect of layers i would expect a grid to move on for the Z axis, ya know, like chessboard. There is this really old video of a pre-lbp concept using some sort of 3D, it never came along.

I wish they'd keep that deforming sponge effect in the game. Like on the spongy tree in lbp, it looks awesome.

It would only make sense if they extended the layers we have like a chessboard... but beyond that honestly I think would be too beyond the scope of what LBP aims for, though to be honest they have such an advanced graphical scripting system going on they could power an interesting and easy to use 3D game engine with it.

as i mentioned, yeah, the most probable is a chess board, just imagine the trouble it would be to program a free create 3D!!!! a sphere paint tool that moves all over the place would make a mess, not to mention it would be utterly complicated to work with and i don't even think it exists a computer or gaming system at this time that could manage an advanced system like that and thus lbp would become a game programming software rather than a game (this is so confusing!).

Actually i'm pretty sure that was just a concept video and wasn't playable. I'd imagine it being a little awkward giving create mode the tools to do stuff like that.

Another thought though, maybe Mm should stray away from the crafting theme and try to make something like 3D Dot Game Heroes with a higher level of customisation.

Or they could make some sort of RPG Maker? o:

*sniffs*
I think Rock's coming,
He heard someone say RPG... ;)

I'd actually like to see what Mm could pull off with a non-LBP game. One that's completely unrelated.

Possibly even a serious game (by serious I mean something like Uncharted, I'm not saying LBP isn't a real game or something :) )

Now thats completely interesting!!, some other game devs have gone out of their game series style and made something completely different (Cirterion games for example, they made Burnout series and also made a First person shooter called BLACK)

Wonder what kind of game would be made from Mm aside from lbp??
