[DanC•]

Sorry about that disgusting, troll-type title, had to catch peoples attention that there was a new video uploaded.

UPDATE #2

The vlog about my trip to Sony:

UPDATE #1

Thanks SO much for the suggestions! Didn't think I'd get anywhere near this amount. Just about to leave to catch the train to London, I'll be sure to read through all of them on the train.

Thanks!

So Sony have invited me and Shermzor to go and test some new features on LBP2, say what we think of them, what could be added to the game, etc... but we need your help with some suggestions! Watch this vid:

My suggestion is about sackboy emotions, or at least sackbot emotions. If there are going to be cut scene cameras, I'd love to see there be more facial expressions, etc. I'd love if there could be an way to make sackboy appear to be sleeping... I know this sounds weird, but these would be very useful for people who want to use lbp2 to make little video or cutscene levels.

Also, please tell mm to stop being afraid of girls. We want to come and play too. :P

Have a great time, dan!

OMG DanC that is a one in a life time opportunity I will post a comment later about some cool Ideas

[samalot]

My sugestion is:
a chat log, so you can view pevious messages people have wrote in lbp

i find it really annoying when you have to reoeat yourself or ask others to 'say that again'
and its often the case that 2 people say somthing and one of their bubbles covers over the second one :/

[RockSauron]

Tell them to make the 3D glitch official or face the eternal wrath of many.

[AeroForce22]

Allow hearts/stars (whatever is in this game) to count towards the heart count for the Create trophy in LBP1. :P Pretty much all the other suggestions that seem reasonable have been answered with the new tool announcements.

Also, a flashlight powerup. I'd like to see that.

[KernelM]

Edit the Scuba Suit so you can edit the amount of air it holds

Increase Radius of Explosions

Make Sure the pod stays please!!

[jjmusicman]

- Make the 3D layer glitch an official feature.
- Make a customizable melee weapon/melee attacks PLEASE.
- Flashlight power-up. Please please please.
- Weather machines please (thunderstorms, rain, etc.)
- Ability to make gadgets invisible (like the DCS, the Creatinator, etc.)?
- Ability to make our own level music.
- Maybe allow us to attach the game camera to certain objects for dynamic points of view? (FPS-view ?)

[SLS10]

er-hem...

An animated Lava Material!

Adjustable Corner Editor speed on-the-fly!

More projectiles! (There are never enough!)

Additional layers! (Not outside the thick 3 we already have - like the golf ball glitch thing)

More hazards! The ability to turn the noises they make off!

...that'll do it for me. Some of those might already be in the game, because I didn't do my research!

Bombs that destroy things, that don't throw stickers everywhere.

More ideas soon, or maybe not.

[Dexiro]

- Tractor Beam
- A spring switch. Anchors an object to a position but can move in all direction as if it was attached with a spring.
- Forward facing slopes that make sackboy slide into the layer infront.
- Stickers that have effects, like acting as bounce pads or slippery surfaces. Adapted from Portal 2 a little :3
- Wind Tunnels, similar to the tractor beam.
- Spinning platforms that make sackboy come off dizzy!
- A motion path tool that makes an object follow the path that you draw on screen.
- Speed pads!
- Bubbles of air that can create areas of dry land underwater, dry submarines and stuff.
- Waterfall decorations. Since we can't have real dynamic water it'd just be really nice in deco form.
- Weak connectors (ropes/winches) that break under a certain amount of pressure.
- Pressure buttons that only activate under a certain amount of weight.
- Plants that you can grow to make them act as platforms. (crazy idea :3)
- PORTAL GUN! Yeah sure it sounds crazy and it'd be stupidly hard to make. I remember saying that about water.


Just throwing random ideas out in the open. I'll keep editing this post if i think of more!

[Killian]

Something I've wanted for a long time is the ability to make objects rounded in 3 dimensions, like the golf ball.

[warlord_evil]

-Tweakable AO (Ambient occlusion, the system that adds realistic shadows to stuff)
-Foreground/Background objects
-Project Eden DLC
-Crysis DLC


Your gonna tell them you got these suggestions from a community right? It would be weird to be asking such varied questions.

[jackofcourse]

Awesome video Dan! Really amusing

I'm guessing this is the same thing Sony invited me to without realising I was helping Mm out with the game!

I remember the email saying something like 'You'll get the great opportunity to see LBP2 before anyone else and get to give Sony and Media Molecule your feedback direct!' and I got it whilst on LBP2 creating...it made me giggle.

Anyway, once again, the video was brilliant Great stuff.

[Jedi_1993]

Layer glitch as an actual feature, at the moment I find it too confusing even with about 7 detailed tutorials.
Pre-set dance 'emotions' like on the PSP version, when you finish a level sackboy dances differently depending on his/her costume.
Rounded objects sounds like a great feature.
The more animated materials and costumes, the better!
Importable music from the XMB would be cool too, but unlikely.
