"Will LBPV replace LBP2?" And other interesting matters.

[yugnar]

It means you are insane

Indeed. Lolz just kidding.

This isn't so releted to the topic,But if we're talking about downloaded levels,When you are on your downloaded levels section,On your top left corner of your screen there will be something saying " ?? Updates are available״ ?? Being the number for how much updated for your levels are available,Next to this massage there will be a butten "update all" which will update all your levels! Kinda like how to app store works with updates (Some of you probably knew this,But I figured il bring it up...)
And for the level links,Yes it seems like it downloads all the sub levels and level links(that's what I saw happens in my beta)

Now I see why there is a thermo. At least expand it.

Very nice! So if you make a level like Tapling for instance, and then add content, you automatically get a heads up? I suggested that in one of the Vita threads somewhere and I'll be happy as larry if that's the case

Yep,It works just like the AppStore,with a tap of a finger you can update all your downloaded levels!
To be honest,I remembered you suggested it somewhere and I was gonna reply that this is already implemented in the game,but I forgot so I brought it up here hoping you'll see it

Yeah, I did put it forward as a suggestion and I can't remember where either. It just makes sense to me. Why I think it's really handy is that you will be able to add to your level and know that a lot of people will automatically be told of the additions. This is a great way of gathering a flock of fans, and also an incentive to keep up a good standard. There's that AppStore reference again too...

So this means that levels that are "uploaded" will probably download any new sublevels thay may have (like Add-Ons, or new chapters for a story), along with any modifications made to the actual level, and scoreboards, etc.?
I guess nobody can really know until it is launched.

Ya,I'm a little interested in what happens to the sub levels that you downloaded,But there not in your download list(because they're sub's) will they ever update? Not sure if this is what you meant...

I imagine you can opt to receive a message to download all associated levels, and a warning that not doing so will prevent level links and sublevels from working

Ohh ya! I just remembered from the beta what happened when i downloaded a level with subs and links,It asked me if i want to download them too and warned me that they wont work if i wont! Lol pretty much like you said!
But that's not what i meant,What i said is that i wonder what happens when you DO download the sub levels,they wont show up in your download list I'm assuming (that would ruined they're purpose) So will the update detector recognize them? Anyway,I'm just finding stuff we can talk about for now,lol I'm not really worried about updating sub levels ...

[yugnar]

I think that I get your point ythyth. I think that the uploading will upload both the level and all the sublevels it may have. Oh no! Now that I think so, a new spam type may be born from this, as you may accidentally download up to 29 "invisible" and spammy levels when you upload a noobish level.

Hah, nice, I wasn't even in the beta :P

Attracto-gel will be returning as well as sticker panel plus way more useful objects, materials, and other things that LBP2 didn't have.


LBP Vita will NOT replace LBP2 only because nobody is buying the vita. It's suffering greatly. I am one of the very few who owns it. I personally will be playing the Vita more because I've played LBP2 to death and grow tired of it. But LBP2 will live on until the new Playstation for sure.

The biggest problem with LBP Vita is processing power/space. LBP2 you could have much larger levels with greater detail and take advantage of lots of space on the PS3's HDD. LBP Vita on the otherhand is stuck on a tiny 8gb HDD which really takes away from the experience if you wanted to add outside content like pictures, backup save data...yadayadayada... From what I remember, creating was frustrating in LBP Vita due to the limitations of the system. Loading times were absolutely terrible. I hope they're improved since then, but I doubt it.

WHAT? I was so impressed by the loading times! I'm not sure why everyone are complaining about how much you can create,But you do realize your creation (As detailed may it be) Is not bigger then 25 MB (At MAX) I don't think there is a way to replace your data with another one,But i Don't think pictures are an issue as because you can select photos from your album or take a pic from your camera,Don't see an issue with that(Unless you're talking about pictures taking IN LBP,in that case saying you don't have space for them is ridiculous too,I use a phone with 16 GB(The same i have on my vita) and i have a TON of stuff,The same for my vita,I have a TON of pic's songs and more(On my vita)...And what's the issue with backing up? Just connect your vita to your pc and backup... Are you sure you where on the beta...?

[Nick930930]

I don't have 16gb. The card that came in most start packages is 8gb.

And load times are severely poor once you're actually creating the levels. Rewinding, fast forwarding, moving a wire, even glueing objects has MASSIVELY long load times between actions. I reported it to Tarsier but recieved no response about it. Hopefully they tried and fixed it. It felt like a memory issue as I've had a similar type of stuttering in games before upgrading my memory but let's just cross our fingers and say its a software problem.

And I'm just saying in general, DLC, pictures, music...whatever. All that stuff in LBP will add up and take up space in an already tiny tiny tiny space. 8gb is complete garbage and spending $100 just to get something with passable size is a total ripoff. No way I'm buying the digital version of THIS game. I'll be getting a good old fashioned disk..er...card... for it.

And yes I'm positive I was in the beta. I was one of the 3 top contributers so I think I know what I'm talking about. I couldn't even finish creating the level I was working on due to the **** poor freezing and loading in create mode. THe thermo wasn't even 3 notches up. Inbetween glueing an object, I was able to turn on my TV... my PS3. Load up LBP2.. install an UPDATE... then start LBP2 again, load it up, watch the entire intro through, and edit my earth's decorations before LBP Vita came to again. Were YOU in the beta?
