Exactly, 99.9% of people will make shit levels or not care. More of the same here.

I have never tried little big planet, it looks fun to me but I'm not really sure if it is. I have tried physics sandboxes where you build stuff and so on but I get bored after an hour max. Is it the same thing with this game? It seems interesting, I guess I will have to look up some gameplay on youtube.

This isn't a sandbox though.  It can be if you want to be a creator, but for the user gamer there are great high quality designed levels on the disc as a story campaign.  Then there are millions of user levels and 10% are great, 90% are not and the search engine is not the best.  It's also a really fun multiplayer game if you play with another person or two or three.

Thankfully the search engine is getting a full rehaul with LBP2 which is cool. 

Also LBP2 has mouse & keyboard support for level creation, which is really cool imo and should speed things up.

Oh I missed the trailer! First impression: the friggin' "globe" menu design is back in the sequel? fuck off.

I dunno, it's the theme of LBP.  The entire world is the community experience.  I think it's fine.  It should be improved for finding levels though in LBP2 since they are upgrading the search/sort engine.

The problem with LBP is that 99.9% of people don't know shit about making good playable levels
Nobody is going to create SMG quality platformer,or any other quality game,forget about that

If it was easy like that,nobody would hire professional dev teams

Basically you always have three groups
1.Can't make anything useful or good looking
2.Can make good looking stuff,but gameplay  is total shit
3.Can make good and playable levels,but why give them for free,why not make your own game or something

So basically people that only want to play totally depend on group 3(0.1%)

When LBP was announced,released,some(lol) people where hyping is as a system seller,something that will spawn infinite number of clones.

And now 2 years later we have nothing and that tells a lot.
No publisher or dev is interested in making this type of game,its not hard to figure out why.

As others have said,if have zero interest in creating,this is not your game.

Sounds great. I'm never going to make a level/game, though. Too time consuming.

"So for everything from the crucial question of content discovery to the not-so-little matter of how Sackboy should move - short answer, the floaty jump should no longer be a problem, as you can tweak all aspects of his movements, from his stickiness to his inertia, in the Popit menu"

Glad they took care of that issue, let's just hope that tweaking those options are enough to make the controls tighter and the jumps more precise.

Yup, this and that horrible song with the chipmunk-like vocals (I am pretty sure it's a licensed song by some indie band) were the 2 worst parts of the first LBP. Liked the puzzle-platformer style design and the pastiche look the graphics had. Never really tried my hand in level creation though, since mainly the type of games I'd be interested in making are RPGs and action RPGs/adventures.

That looked like the worst rail shooter I've ever fucking seen. Yeah, not getting this game. Platformer please, not insertgenrehere-lite.

there is apparently a beta coming out and a bunch of new videos.  I thought this one was neat:

since you can creative your own music, some guy created a level that was timed to the music.

there are also things like this:

why anyone would recreate a boring game is beyond me but impressive nonetheless.
