I am not quite sure it's something I'd enjoy playing (or creating stuff with), but it sure is stunningly beautiful. Like only a few games before them, they managed to leave the almost always slightly cheesy, tacky or "artificial" style of videogames behind to create something that looks just stunning, and hand-made, and like from the topshelf of illustrated books.

The most important sentence in the entire article (IMO)

"It speaks volumes that Media Molecule is using the game itself to make the game - although there are currently several layers of complexity to the editor that will be left out of the final release."

It does look nice, but as far as I can tell, the idea is that the fun mainly comes from making your own levels, and I can't honestly see myself doing that.....

Or perhaps i'm missing something???

Unless the software magically makes the public more talented at creating their own content, the basic game had better be good.

Still hard to see the gameplay in this. The messing around is obvious and looks fun, but will we be able to make an actual "game" with this? A basic Mario clone for example? Or maybe that won't matter?

I'm sure there will be people out there who enjoy this kind of thing but for me it just leaves me totally cold. I definitely wouldn't be the one spending hours building my own levels. I prefer my games to come with, you know, goals and play tested objectives etc.

You must be dead inside. Or, at least, you should have your gamer's license revoked :p

"I prefer my games to come with, you know, goals and play tested objectives etc."

There's a full 50-level game on the disc full of goals and objectives. And there'll be a truckload of user created ones on the network when you're done with that.

You could just get her to help you build your own version in the game. Then add some cannons...

ain't that the truth. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is going to be a success. Even though I am an Xboxer. And the reason for that is that it is always good to have a new genre become successful, so that people will try something outlandish and fun on my console (please, no more Viva Pinata). But I think that I have missed the point with this game. A side-scrolling platformer, with a unique look and that allows people to design their own levels. Doesn't that sound like something that we wished we had about 10 years ago? But then, what do I know. I thought that nobody would buy the Wii.

'The public' who you speak of made Portal you know! Remember that little GotY title?

This looks very charming and hopefully a game I can get my grilfriend into.

I spent hours building levels on the farcry editor simply because I found creating them fun.

However, most user created content is rubbish so I hope they put in a good user rating system.

i see your point but that's kind of like saying "i don't play online FPS' because there isn't any AI and players are unpredictable"... kind of.

Gurgeh "Unless the software magically makes the public more talented at creating their own content, the basic game had better be good."

You don't believe the 'general public' are capable of creating excellent content? All those FPS modders, retro game remakers, innovative flash games, Johhny Lee's work and all the other mind-boggingly great stuff we've seen from 'ordinary' people that's put out for free?

I have every faith we will seem some jaw-dropping levels made with LBP by the end users.

Having played things like the Stainless Steel mod for Medieval II, Silent Hunter III Grey Wolves, and toyed around with some of the mods for Stalker, not to mention modules for Neverwinter Nights, I politely disagree. There are incredibly talented "amateurs" out there whom you just need to give some material to start with.

It's a bit of a worrying trend that now even puzzles, playgrounds and dolls are in video games. Soon there will be no reason for the kiddies to go outside in the fresh air!

That's true, but the success of the output is tied to the original game mechanic, described here (in part) as being 'not as precise or involved as a Mario'. I can't help but get the feeling that the joy here is to be had in the creation, not the playing and I and many others don't have the time or inclination to fart about building 'levels' for others to play. I hope I'm wrong and it's as brilliant as the hands-off reports seem to suggest, and not a short-lived physics demo/gimmick.

Truely innovative gaming, I love it.
More of this and I'd consider a PS3... though a decent controller would help too!

Decent controller? In it's current state the game is only possible with this degree of puppeteering on sixaxis. The sticks are used for independent arm control, so to add the body motions would need another analogue controller - in this case provided by tilt sensors. XB360 lacks tilt, and Wii lacks dual-sticks. You could compromise the control scheme but you wouldn't end up with the same intuitive, natural control. This game is one of the very few that uses Sony's ideas effectively. It'd be nice if other companies followed suit, such as footy games adding dodging motions to tilt control.

Yes, but the SIXAXIS is still based on a crap 15 year old controller. all the sticks and tilt in the world doesn't stop it being a pain the arse to use.

Only "game" on PS3 that I actually WANT.

Possible system seller for me, esp. when they do a PS3, Rumble pad + LBP pack.

Not sure of the concept and it certaily won't tempt me to splash out on a PS3 but the visuals do appear to be made out of pure concentrated w1n!!!1!
