Wow, no doubt of that PS4 finally coming out of the closet now! It's been almost a year! :O
I haven't played LBP2 since playing the LBP3 beta, but my first impression of the graphics is that it's not that much of a step up, but the UI does look a lot clearer and "crispier". To be fair though, the graphics don't need to be amazeballs in a game like this.Quote:

Four quick questions for the beta testers, so many threads, not sure where to post them:
- Can bendy rail be moved during play? I've so far only noticed it being static in videos.
- When a player is switching between multiple characters (like little Toggle to big Toggle) is it possible to turn off the bit of smoke that normally appears?
- Would it be possible to switch back and forth from a built-in character (Sackboy & new friends) to a custom object used as a character? Like say, a Metal Gear level where you turn from SnakeBoy into a cardboard box to hide from the bad guys.
Thanks for info. Can't wait to play!
For your first question:
No, bendy rails can't be moved, they are static, but in the beta its very buggy when you attach it to something, emit it, etc. many freezes, hope it is possible in full game...
can't answer other questions, didnt try to switch so much, only toggled Toggle ^^
I honestly don't care about graphics. A new LBP is enough for me, let alone a new console.
I don't remember sackboy from LBP 2 having such a low-polygon appearance. Was it always that way?Quote:

PS: They kinda messed up the lighting little on the PS3 version of LBP3 least in the beta. the lights don't show up very well on their eyes as well as they did on LBP1/2.
No, it's a conspiracy to make the PS4 version look better! ;)
I bought the ps4 just for lbp. It will soon become my digital lbp box for lbp and free plus games while my pc can take care of other games.
That's me. I was going to get it eventually anyway, might as well do so now.Quote:

I would like it if they used the PS3 Lighting with the PS4 graphics. The PS4 lighting is not that great and the graphics for the PS3 just look meh.Quote:

If I recall correctly, I remember hearing at some point a mention of the visibility on the bend-rails being tweakable, but don't quote me on that.
I'm fairly sure I heard the same and saw it on an early demonstration video.Quote:

Yikes, the PS3 graphics looks like they took the graphic settings and set it to Low. Totally ported.
It's great that PS3 users are getting it, but YIKES, the PS3 version is actually a downgrade in visuals from LBP2. Sackboy looks so blurry.
I think its even further downgraded to keep up with the functions of the PS4 version, only way to get the best of both worlds I guessQuote:

Just letting you guys know, LBP3 wasn't downgraded to PS3. It was natively developed for PS3 and UPGRADED to the PS4. That's why the early beta of LBP3 PS4 kept referring itself as the PS3 version.
And that's also why the PS4 version is being held back instead of the PS3 version struggling to keep up (which would result in a laggy mess).
Sackboy definitely looks worse than his LBP2 self. It's either that, or the PS4's Sackboy model is just so good in comparison it makes the PS3 Sackboy look awful.Quote:

The thermo has been tweaked and optimized to allow for longer levels. There was room enough for LBP to improve on the PS3.Quote:

All these in conjunction will mean the space you can theoretically use in ONE level is in excess of 10 times bigger (if not much more).
It does make a huge difference. In experimenting, we found detailed sets that would not fit at all in one level was easily held. Then we started duplicating by 2 and 4 times as much and then replicated onto the extra layers. Didn't really make a dent. ...and yup, on a PS3.
I've just checked the emitter and it isn't what I thought it was. It has a new setting now called 'emit by zone' which I'm assuming allows for fine tuning of which sections on which layers you emit. Is the emitter getting the automatic emit/destroy that was on the Vita?Quote:

On a separate note, I've managed to get some of my old DLC back, such as the Winter/Summer/Autumn pack MMs 1st music pack and Nathan Drake costume. I'm assuming I'll be able to keep those and won't have to find them all again when I finally buy the game. Please tell me I can because I spent 5 hours last night searching for any DLC available that I'd already got for LBP2
I find this level incredible... Anyone able to explain to me how its done? Im almost certain its top down because of the depth achieved, unless anyone can tell me otherwise.

I think it's just using 16 layers with the layer glitch being used to put more detail into the background. I've got a video on how to create the layer glitch in my Tutorial Directory if you're interested.Quote:

All private invites have gone out and Beta ending soon. You're a bit late, sorry.Quote:

I remember in LBP2 you'd get all of your old DLC by importing your LBP1 profile. It'd be nice copying our PS3 profiles to the PS4 and not needing to download any codes from the PS Store.
