LittleBigPlanet Vita - The New Tools, Features, Tweaks and Even More Goodies List!

[GribbleGrunger]

Exactly!

Plus; with the increased memory of the Vita, having to resort to the destroy/emit technique should hopefully be a rare occurrence for most creators

so is that a VERIFICATION that the Vita version does indeed have a bigger memory pool at it's disposal for LBP? i don't think it's actually been verified, it's only really been hinted at. can you put this is context perhaps? on average, how much bigger can a level be?

UV tool isnt new...

Is there any chance of the bounce pad tweaks coming to LBP2?

The UV tool isnt new, but in LBP vita its slightly tweaked. Actually, awesomely majorly tweaked, you can now zoom textures on materials in and out, rather than just move them around like you could before.

Also, theres no way to tell what updates will come next in LBP2, until theyre officially announced.

The Capture Object tool has been reworked a bit, and will now use a box-select similar to the one of the regular Popit Cursor (the camera follows the cursor instead of staying in the centre of the box).

And with the added Rear Touch camera control, it is much easier to align big chunks of level. Now you can use the Rear Touch panel to move the camera to the edges of the piece you are moving, where it will stay until you manually reposition it or cancel the move operation - Extremely useful!

Extremely useful on a useless platform nobody owns. Seriously, is this expected to shift 2-3 million units like the other LBP games have? It would mean a massive proportion of Vita owners would have to buy the game.

Yeah and some of my friends & other people have been saying Vita is a big flop. I Think Sony is really expecting LBPvita to sell their whole system almost by itself once it's out. but even if it is a LBPgame, i find it questionable if it'll do all that well. mostly because it's on the vita. but i'll hold my full opinion until it's been out and sold for a small while. *mew

"Nobody" is a strong word, don't you think? You mean a platform that you don't own.

Keep in mind that the Vita is still in the extremely early stages of its product lifecycle. It's built with an intended 10 year cycle (as with all other PlayStation platforms) so yes, unit sales in the quantities you're suggesting are fairly reasonable. Keep in mind also that LBPV is a system seller as well.

Even if your friends are highly respected market analysts, I'd say that statement is very premature.

Fair enough. I'm also very interested to see how sales are after the system has matured.

Lets hope they arent counting on LBP vita to sell vitas, cus tarsier hasnt done anything to market the darn game since june.

Do you honestly expect the Vita to sell as much as the PSP or PS3?

There are 70 million PSPs, with LBP PSP selling 2 million units total, which means 3% of PSP users brought LBP PSP.

Sony expects there to be 10 million Vita units worldwide by the end of the year (there are currently 2 million sold). For LBP Vita to sell as much as LBP PSP it would mean 20% of Vita users would need to buy it.

Even if you doubled the expected number of Vita handhelds worldwide to 20 million you're still talking about LBP suddenly becoming 3 times more popular than it was and having an equivalent ratio of games to systems that would put Call of Duty to shame.

I do, actually.


However, I don't want to turn this into a marketing analysis of Sony's product line because that's not what this thread is for. I'm happy to continue the discussion via PM or profile message of course, or we can just agree to disagree.

[GribbleGrunger]

can we perhaps take this to N4G!! the one place i can come to avoid speculative nonsense and rumours of doom is here. Vita is selling fine and just needs a few more games that are region specific. they said the same about the DOOMED 3DS and the DOOMED PS3 and they're already talking about the DOOMED Wiiu...

anyway, about the UV tool: do you pinch the screen to enlarge the textures or do you use the analogue sticks?

[Ayneh]

I do, actually.

Did you actually read that? The author writes towards the end:

I don't think the Vita has any chance of reaching even the level of sales enjoyed by its predecessor.

This is about whether LBP Vita will sell as well as it did on the PSP or PS3, which is on-topic, no?

[Hallm3]

I'll just check for you haha and yes! you can, you can pinch to enlarge and use two fingers to rotate. theres also two handy reset buttons for resetting the position & rotation and size if you mess up.

Actually its not, the thread is to discuss ''The New Tools, Features, Tweaks and Even More Goodies List!'' not to talk about sales figures. Its simply for those people who are interested in all the new stuff that's in the vita version : )

now that's just showing off! can i ask if the latest build is any different or better than the build you played when you first got your greedy mits on the Vita version?

[Hallm3]

I'm not allowed to give any specifics obviously due to legal reasons but to be vague, I'm just gonna say YES! :P lol
