The artist that created sackboy is a genius (or at least very good in his work).

What are Sony doing wasting time and money on those bland Home avatars and stuff, when a LBP and Sackboy version would have been infinitely more eyecatching. Wasted opportunity IMO.

So will these be in the Retail disc or will I have to preorder from somewhere?

These are almost immeasurably awesome.

Next up, Rau and Gabe Logan would be good.

Great idea, I completely agree. Maybe it will happen one day? Suppose we need Home to actually happen first.

Paid downloadable content.

It's mentioned as a pack, so I hope it comes with a LBP level from Square and Konami themselves or the DLC is really really really cheap.

I got a beta key last night... But it was region locked :( Wah! Oh well, only two weeks to go! In the meantime, doesn't Linger In Shadows come out tonight? I'm very curious about that.

Those are amazing. Hopefully they are part of larger packs. I would love to see an MGS4 Raiden sackboy as well as FFVII Cloud.

As for sackboys instead of home avatas, that would have been an excellent idea, i will never be able to look at HOME the same way again.

It was never going to be long before those Slash fictioners created a Sephiroth.

Er given how generic sackboy is. Wouldn't using him as an avatar result in 10,000 solid snakes, 10,000 sepiroths etc. etc. Now thst would quickly start to grate on peoples nerves don't you think.

Edit: As for the person who thought sackboy was some genius idea. Not really, as there have been money dolls around for ages. These dolls were always user paintable so that you could create anything you wanted from them. There was evena famous case where Epic threatened to sue some poor guy because he created a fantastic (better than epics own doll efforts) Marcus Fenix Money doll and showed off some pictures of it.

I wasn't talking about the fact that you can dress him up anyway you like, it's the design of the character itself, the basic, non-dressed sackbox, that's very, very good.

The Opel (Vauxhall ?) TV ad uses "sackboys" for ages.

Lol that's awesome.

I'm half considering a PS3 just for this game, seems like a hell of a lot of money just for one game though.

I'd like a Sackboy version of the Bad Man from Austria. He would be called Heilboy

Slap the Bad Man. Slap him!!

Let me play Devil's Advocate for one second, but isn't it slightly desperate that the game is trying to gain glory from other established franchises by making Solid Snake/Kratos/Seripoth/that bird from Heavenly Sword Sackboys? It's like Soul Calibur 4's inclusion of Darth Vader and Yoda to try and entice the Stars Wars market.

They are quite good. :) Definitely looking forward to what else they come up with.
Perhaps a Chuck Norris one, that'd be great in his Walker Texas Ranger guise or from one of his action films.

Heh, it might look and play a bit like a kiddie game, but when you start diving into the create mode and discover how incredibly vast and full of potential it is (and the wonderful user-created levels that are already cropping up is proof of that) you won't think it's 'kiddie' anymore.

Besides, the 2D platforming thing is pretty much what we grew up with (I'm talking about us non-kids) and to be able to recreate some of our favourite levels or just do something completely new is a wonderful opportunity just wating to happen.
Can't wait to play the full version.

Nice, but they reek gimmick. Septhroth and Snake will clearly draw in fanboys that might have had no interest in this before.

"Nice, but they reek gimmick. Septhroth and Snake will clearly draw in fanboys that might have had no interest in this before."

SO....more people in a community like this is always good, even if they have slightly narrow views they may still make some awesome levels, even some cameo metal gear solid or final fantasy would be good, because at the end of the day, more levels means more levels, good or bad, new levels (even bad ones) can give you new ideas.

And anyway, anyone who's played the beta probably already noticed that there is a rrod level, so its hardly free of fanboys.
