Official Proposal Thread
Aug 13 2008, 12:11 PM EDT
Media Molucule has just officially given us permission to suggest concepts we believe should be included in LBP. They said they'd love to hear our ideas for the game, but would like to see those proposals in the form of a thread; that way we can activly shape and improve our concepts. When this thread has some bulk to it they want me to send them the link so they can join in the dicussion. This is our big chance guys! Lets get to work!

I'll start us off with all the concepts that we have already come up with in the LittleBigPlanet Concept Proposals page:Concept Description Water in LittleBigPlanet everybody knows they want it-opens up many gameplay options Unique Powers what if, aswell as customisingwhat your character looks like, you could also asign an ability too. a bit like lego star wars or indiana jones games, certain characters can do certain things. just imagine, giving sackboy the ability to shoot webs like spiderman. that would open up loads of gamplay options . u could design things specialy made for that power 4 out of 5 found this valuable.

Dark Levels: What if you could create a level with low light and you could use a flashlight. imagine what people would come up with. Character Items This is kind of like unique powers, and they may have added this, but it would be neat if you could place Character Items your levels that let your Sackboy do various things. Like a Grappling Hook, a Parachute, a Polevault, or even a Fishing Rod or something. The Flashlight could very well be one of these. The inclusion of Jetpacks makes me think they might already have something like this. I sure hope so! Gravity Options: Would allow you to alter gravity's strength - I want space levels! Doors or portals: Well Ways you can link different levels together to make one big level or world. Keys, locks, etc. In game movies: Where you can make your own 15 second cut scene to help tell you story with voice overs 4 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

"would this be the forum to let them know we want to upload stuff from the PS3 hard drive?"Screw new ideas, they threw out one of the biggest features in LBP, uploading your own stickers. I'll be damned if I'll be forced to print out the sticker and take a picture of it with my PS Eye just because they want to up sales of the PS Eye, a device I already own. If they worry about file size have them all auto converted into JPG2 files, they support transparency, however if a file is color indexed and has a small file size it should be converted to a PNG, other wise their wasting file size. We can't just stand by while the ability to use our own stickers is thrown out for something as stupid as uping PS Eye sales. If you think that's not the reason then what is the reason? People can stream movies with the PS Eyes video feed in game, they can take off their pants in front of little kids, you've got to be kidding. I've got a lot of ideas for the game, but I must say, I'd give those neat ideas up in a heart beat just for the ability to use my own stickers I spent over 5 months making and getting ready. 5 out of 7 found this valuable.

i want there to be a release of some online freeware you can use to build objects while your away from your ps3, that way you can go on vacation and still work on the detailed level your building in your free time. this would have to have lower graphic quality of coarse but the ability to work is all i'd want.Also, if it isn't in the game, i'd like to be able to build masks and costumes for sackboy 4 out of 4 found this valuable.

Thats an awesome idea Neusse, maybe compatible with remote play with a PSP? Some stand alone application on the PSP which will allow you to create and then port to LBP? Or maybe on a computer? Kinda of like the Spore creature creator. Hey gigith, this is exactly the place where you should make proposals like that. Using the PS eye exclusively would be a pain and would make all home-made stickers crappy in quality. This would make for crappy looking levels if you decided to try to use your own stickers. They really need to allow us to import from our harddrives!!! Yea hobo, maybe allowing us to create levels where we are allowed to give the player certain items he can place in the game. That could make for some pretty tight levels.

Oops lol, I just posted as my bro (hobo47) above :) I still think the doors and portals suggestion above is one of the greatest. It would allow you to creat huge worlds just by linking levels together!

Yeah, someone on LBF said remote play would be good, the thread turned into wanting a PSP LBP game/app that was in 2D, I'm sure making a small LBP game in 2D for the PSP would be easy enough for MM to charge like 9$ or so for a download.Forgot who asked for this but someone asked for a page here listing which pre order will get you which item, however odds are everyone will just get want Kratos, I do, even though I've never played GOW. (Xbox fan, got PS3 for LBF) I want breakable blocks and or versions of normal objects, such as check points that can be broken. Another thing I really want is side spawning, where in a 4-2 player game 1-2 people spawn sort of as a team on the end of a level while the rest spawn on the other side, the idea comes from another thread on LBF where we talked about a castle vs castle level where you have to break the other teams castle, combat would take place in the middle where they'd try to knock each other into the lava below. There would be things to send them flying to the other teams castle, war machines etc. Having the background in levels change depending on what time it is in real life would be kinda cool. Foot holders you can put on objects where when hooked in moving would give the object a bit of a push, like moving your body weight, that would be cool. Magnets, we need those so badly, if not now later in a DLC pack, LBP has got to get magnets. Uploading stickers from your HDD. Paint, the ability to use small shape stickers to paint up your own sticker while in LBP, such as in games like Chrome Hounds. Another kind of wacky idea I had was allowing the player to upload stickers from their harddrive, well, it's not so crazy after all. My last idea is to allow players to upload stickers from their harddrive. Maybe even allow players to upload stickers from their harddrive, that would work too. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

(* Got PS3 for LBP (Mixed it up with LBF the shutdown site I'm from))Glass would be nice, glass could be broken if hit hard enough. Level snapshots, allow the player to take screenshots but also the option to take a big screenshot that's zoomed way out, the screenshots could easily be sent to friends via the XBM. Along with a link to allow them to download the level even if their not in LBP. Sounds, blocks that when touched would make a cool sound, you could make it so running along a patch would play a song by putting just the right sound blocks under the players path. (Got idea from someone on LBF) Lego DLC Pack, team up with Lego to add Lego based objects and bricks, I donno, it'd just be kinda cool. Tools, items you can put in levels that allow players to walk on walls or jump extra high, stuff like that. Holes, holes are like lava, they can be put on the ground and when you fall though them you die, It'd just be nice to have fall pits and not just all lava or something. Balloons, they lift things up, rather simple. HDD Sticker upload. Tag mode, one player is it and he has to slap another player for them to become it, it could be played without real rules like that but it'd be nice if it was in there. Free roam, where players can spawn in player places spawn points, where a level is not so much going from the left of the level to the right, where you can go anywhere by yourself or with friends, it would allow for more user made up gametypes and such.

Spikes, you've just got to have spikes, you could make a dragon and put spikes in his mouth so when he chomps down he kills you.Lights, I want to make a light show where it's flashing all kinda of colors, a party hard level, that'd be awesome. Treasure Mode, teach team needs to find as much treasure as they can and bring it back to their base, getting slapped stuns you for a few seconds and if your holding treasure it makes you drop it, not 100% sure if this would work, but it's worth some thought. Item drop off, a small game put into levels like a race, there's a hidden object in the level, the players have to bring that object to the drop off point, the faster they do it the better, would be great for companion cube levels. Using stickers from the harddrive. Explosions but I'm sure people have asked you for that all the time. Objects you can get inside of, such as a trash can, that'd be cool. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Videos in Pod, allow the user to auto play a video folder on their PS3 when they go into their pod mode.Object Binding, allow the user to go into a combo mode in which things like press up up down or something would select a object you set to the key bind up up down, this would allow you to easily get to things you often use. Or some other way to get to things you often use faster. Velcro, like magnets however more solid, you see, if two magnets connect their stick but they can slide, so you could put a plus block on a minus ground and it could slide if pushed, but it wouldn't easily be picked up away from the floor, velcro on the other hand stays totally still. Muslim foot baths so their sackboys and sackgirls can wash their feet. Harddrive sticker upload. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Inventory System where your sackboy can collect items throughout the levels that can be used to operate machinery or open new paths... such as keys and gears... like Tomb Raider! hehe

Wow lol, ur on fire gigith. Awesome ideas. I'm pretty sure balloons, sound blocks, explosions, and level shapshots all exist already. They don't give you the ability to paint your environments??? That just jumped to number one on my list haha, they difinetly need to give you that basic ability. Yea Abraxyn, I think that goes hand in hand with hobo's idea. You can collect items and use them to build at certain points to get through the level. You could have the option to either start out with a set amount of items, or collect them in the level. Real world materials like velcro, magnets, breakable glass, and holes would definetly be great additions. If they included lighting options that would be awesome!!! That would go along with our idea above of having a dark level. You could be given a flashlight, tourch, or something to that extent and would have to make your way through the level. Maybe you could make it so objects are flammable? That would be a huge step and probably won't happen but it would be pretty cool if it was possible. You would probably need to have the water expansion to take full advatage of flaming objects though. "Save the burning forest!' "Light your sackboy on fire and see how much havok you can cause before you turn to ash" etc. You could have a lot of fun with that one ;)

Definetly, teaming up with lego would be hilarious and completly awesome. Would make for a great expansion pack ;) . It also caters to a younger audience which helps expand the PS3 userbase furthur. Yea, that would definetly make the inability to import stickers a little more bearable. I'm not sure on this one, but is there an option to send your friends objects you've made? If not that one is a must, sending your friends cool stuff would be awesome, you could trade objects and stuff. I know you can already do this to an extent with level gifts but a straight gift exchange would be much better. We could create our LBPG logo with the sticker creator and then pass it around to members to use in their levels.
