Updated Poison Gas

[kkoenig]

I know that poison gas is already a lethal option in LBP. But rather than causing instant player death upon stepping/falling into it, I think it would be cool if it caused a delayed death, like a poisoning effect. The gas could be tweaked to allow players to remain in the gas for a few seconds before dying. A power could also be made to go along with this, similar to the scuba gear power up for underwater levels. Say, an oxygen tank power up could be tweaked to provide either limitless or a set amount of oxygen for players to breathe as they delve through poison gas. The gas could also be tweaked to allow players without the oxygen tank to live for a few seconds in the gas, or cause instant death to players without oxygen. Just an idea. What do you think?

Sounds interesting and the death animation would be pretty gruesome for a sackboy though lol. The powerup could be a gas mask or a hazmat suit.

I would also like the option to adjust the animation speed of the poison gas so you could mak clouds.

I'd imagine something could be done with smoke machines and timers and sackbots and such, would be pretty awesome to see the sackbot succumb to the eventual effects of poisonous gas... conjures up many an evil thought indeed.

Nooooo! A Gas Mask powerup! Yeaaaaaaa

This is DreadRandal and I approve this message. (I hate election years...)

Cool idea though. =)

[Cotda]

Really nice idea! Would love for this feature to be implemented!

[Jazyan]

That seems a little dramatic don't you think I think it's fine the way it is.. But, I wouldn't mind "Blackbeltnick95's" power up suggestion. A power up to have a gas mask to avoid the gas, now that's a good idea.

[Tynz21]

Sounds cool to me, if you wanted you could probably simulate this with a sackbot and some timers.

[GribbleGrunger]

Yeah, this is definitely something they should think about using... this and make Spikes a lethality option

[Cronos Dage]

imagining the gruesome death of Sackboy coughing, wheezing and hiccuping like from gas grenades in MAG.

“Ehh *HACCUP* ehh *HACCUP* *coughDEAD*”

Just like in Fallout New Vegas...I would like this feature in LBP.
