Lbp1 had lots of levels but, some were overused.What do you think will be overused in lbp2?
My examples
Zombie survivals with creatinator because of sackbots
creatinator death-match
dont move levels maybe this is a sleeper pick
levels where you use a creatinator emitting a material to climb up while above a hazardous material
Respond with some of your own include reasons if you want.
platformers, 'cause that's what people know how to make
remakes of other games
LBP1 level imports with LBP2 features & power ups slapped in
FPS's that should be on a floppy disk and Duck Hunt/Lethal Enforcers stuff
levels where people play staticy recordings of bad songs onto a magic mouth
I actually hope a Defmunky666 equivalent makes the ultimate zombie survival because 1 in a million might be completely awesome. Mexican Zombie survival in beta hinted at the potential
Zombie survivals and arenas, it was common in the beta and they are much easier to be done then bomb survivals
Directly controllable sharks. That was easy.
hmmm....
ZOMBIE SHARK BOMB SURVIVAL FREE RARE COSTUMES OPEN BOX 26 FREE PINS H4H WITH REAL WATERZ AND GRAPPLING HOOK!
The Idea of this thread is what will the next really annoying leve lbp2, like what will be the next bomb or shark survival in lbp2.and say why you think that if u want.
Example from lbp1 MM gave out a timed explosive making bomb survivals easy to create
Prediction for lbp2: Zombie survivals because they will be easier to make because of sack-bots and the creatinator.
I hope tilting cameras in platformers doesn't become common.
Good GOD that annoys me, every second section is at a super harsh angle to the last so you never fall directly down, you fall sideways slightly making precision jumps impossible.Quote:

I think top down racers will be the biggest worry. The first few will be great but then everyone will learn that they are easy to make and it will just be spammed.
Q: What will be the most common type of levels in LBP2?Quote:

So expect to see the LBP2 cool pages to be filled with spam levels from people who know how to take advantage of the cool pages and protest levels in response to the spam levels. There have been many rants about the cool pages in LBP1 and there will be a whole lot more when LBP2 is out.
Actually, near the beginning of the LBP2 beta, the Cool Pages were great! All of the best levels of the day were there, and that's where you would go if you wanted to be up-to-date with all the coolest stuff happening on the beta. It was just what the Cool Pages should be.Quote:

Now, (well, recently, before the beta ended) if you press Quick Play, more than half the time you'd find yourself with an annoying H4Her or God-Glitcher that likes to delete people's Pods.
But anyways...
25 FREE ITEMS!!1!!, direct-control shark survivals, something lame involving bounce pads, Sackbot zombie survivals, Creatinator deathmatches, and top-down racers made in under an hour will most likely grace the Cool Pages.
TEH EPIC ZOMBEE SERVIVEL WIF CREATENATER.
Yea, we can only hope.
Sorry about my weird place but talking about camera tilts got me thinking...
Can you make levels upside down - that would prove a challenge...
But if its possible it'd be spammed.
+ Platforms
+ remakes
- music levels
+ mini-games
I would like to see a lot more MM picks than they've done earlier. Choose more levels and bring them out to the red carpet.
Top-down shooters because they're so easy to make.
Zombie survival levels with the creatinator set to fire sharks out of it.
yeah seriously. there's hardly a difference in quality between most people's top 10 picks on here, or the best spotlighted levels etc and what qualified as an MM pick. like seriously, why would jump_button's Nostalgia of the Infinite not have been an MM pick for it's time?Quote:

it sure would make finding good levels and games to play easier, especially for casual players who won't be on everyday or using lbp.me religiously
What kind of spam will be more common in lbp2?Quote:

What I find as a small nuisance is that people seem to have the urge to create levels of a game although one should just play the real game itself, and not a silly replica of it in LittleBigPlanet.
There is, however, some very good levels out there that may replicate games. :)
if i see the word 'survival' all over the supposed 'cool levels' page , i shall vomit with an enthusiasm, deep as my despair.
Ha! Do you remember that dancing slimer? xDQuote:

Oh god, didn't even think about those camera angles... :/
I predict a bunch of unskippable cutscenes with sackbots and alike.
Actually I'd rather not think about that stuff, and just look foward to when someone makes a decent level with the new tools.

Unskippable cutscenes can work brilliantly if used well. When poorly implemented, they can ruin a game.
But some of them are fun, like that awesome wrecking ball survival, or Steve_Big_Gun's Pong Survival.Quote:

I've always avoided the cool pages for the most part, so I dunno what everyone's complaining about. If you don't like it, ignore it.
I dare say that the most frequent levels.... would be whatever that's SUPER easy to make and spammish and stuff.
Why?
Look at the cool levels... they are still really bad...
And in 2 days (unless they gotz zit already :() those exact same creators might as well already have LBP2 and continue putting LBP to shame... because they would likely just treat like LBP1, just with more stuff to annoy you with and such.
But yeah I agree with all of you up there, the beta cool levels were 'cool' for once, and there definitely should be more Mm Picks. :)
One nice thing is that when we go look at community levels soon in LBP2... there's going to be some good stuff from some great creators there. In some way I hope it sets a trend for 'impressionable audiences' and nothing made in 2 hours that first day can get a play for quite awhile.
I'll second that one:Quote:

The sackbot zombie survival thing as well - that's gonna be another one. I still don't hold out much hope for the cool pages though....
alot of deathmatch levels with the creatinator. i find that game type boring
Unless of course they become copyable, which I think is highly likely.Quote:

The same rep will be kept in mind when Activision & Microsoft makes one that has better marketing and makes more wild promise
Okay, apparanly platformers are shunned now, which is what I usually make, so.
Darn.
