I'm so impatient, why did they have to show this off so long ago?
This is one of the reasons I bought a PS3, thankfully since owning one I've found many more.

I don't mean to downplay it, it really is quite cool looking, it's just that it's not utterly unique.
I thought this was coming out in April?
And before that, I used to believe this was coming out in February!
That's the whole reason I don't have a PS3 yet!
This game is so bought.
Edit: Djiem, it's the joy of owning the PS3. Games magically jump about the release schedule, you never know what you'll be playing next.

Every time I see this game's name the release date gets pushed further back.
Yeah. Also: Gary's Mod. I don't see the big deal about this game. It's really just a physics playground. I enjoyed Gary's Mod for about an hour or two, so I figure I'll spend about that much time on this game when/if it comes out.
But to each their own.
...It's not a physics playground. You people who keep saying that, have you been following the game at all? It's no more a physics playground than Super Mario Bros was.
It's just it was also a sublime platformer.
Every video I've seen from the game shows you putting blocks up, and moving characters around and make them fall down. You can make your own backgrounds/music/etc.
(You people?)
EDIT: I realize there's more to it than what I posted, but that's the gist of it from what I've seen.
And you fight enemies. And bosses. And you publish your levels. And create entire worlds filled with your own levels, in essence creating your own game, the proverbial "little big planet". And play other people's levels, in their own world. And play the levels included in the game.
Okay, so it's like Gary's Mod? I'm not saying it's going to be shit, I just don't think it's the second coming of gaming Jesus. Although some people may enjoy it, and that's good... The PS3 needs some more meat anyway.
That's nothing like gary's mod.
Gary's mod is a sandbox. This is a game, with sandbox elements.
Okay. So you have to make your own levels in HL2 using their Source engine. Then you can use Gary's Mod to do the sandbox stuff. So I was mistaken... It's a compilation of HL2 (with it's SDK) and Gary's Mod.
Hang on, have we gotten confirmation of a plot/pre-developed stages, or is it all user-developed stages as far as we know?
Yeah, they mentioned it in a video I saw. Their wording was something like "The stages we're including should be thought of not as what you should do with your game, but what you can do."
Also urahonky - just in case, I'm not pissed or anything. I'm never too sure how my tone is coming across. I'm just saying I really don't see the connection between this and gary's mod outside of physics and user created content.
EDIT: As for plot, I haven't heard anything about that. But we did get confirmation of enemies, and I thought I remembered seeing something about bosses but I can't find the quote now.
Okay, cool. I had missed that, and I was a little concerned that you would HAVE to create stuff to get any value out of the game. Glad to hear that's not the case.
Even then, the stuff their including will be a fraction of what LBP is about. Really, I'm much more excited for user created content.
I've seen thriving fan communities. I've seen what can happen when people love a game and break it into bits and share and make content. And it's fucking glorious. You know there will be groups of people who pop up and put out badass levels. Assuming this game catches on, you know there will be people whos releases you really look forward to. It happens with every big mod community.
Man I'm pumped for LBP.
Oh I know. I just don't want to bring down a thread that has so much potential to be awesome... By shitting all over it. I hate to be that guy!

give it up TSR, he just doesn't get it.
Have you seen those guys? Mark Healey's about as much of a hippie as you can get.
I love "I heard" rumours...

The first video, where they keep dying over and over and a few of the people keep skipping sections of the levels via checkpoints was the first I've seen of the game that I didn't like. I suppose there will be plenty of levels out there without checkpoints like that, and maybe there will be a life system in the final game (since this was just a demo), but still.
The second video though, where he's making the level in fast motion? Totally fucking awesome.
Name of the game is co-ordination and co-operation. I can see people who are too impatient to wait-up ruining this for others.
