Sack it to Me – The Quest for Crownage Edition

Greetings LBP’ers. Today on Sack it to Me, our SackBoys can walk like Egyptians. Media Molecules gives us the sweet lowdown on the recent Creator Pack, and we see how the a little fox’s struggle for an LBP Crown goes bad. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Quest for the Crown
This LBP “Fanamation” by Sarah Miscavage shows little fox’s search for an LBP Crown will make some of you laugh. Wouldn’t be surprised if Sarah has a crown waiting for her in her future.

Creator Pack Video by Media Molecule
Some people were confused about how to access the new Creator Pack content once it was installed, so MM made a video showing the sweet in-game tutorials made for the new objects (The Infinite-Life Checkpoint tutorial is just ruthless!). Remember that Creator Pack 1 can be downloaded for FREE from the in-game store right now! Once downloaded, you can play the following levels by going to the LittleBigStore and finding the creator pack queen icon.

DLC Round-Up
If you wanted to get a blast from the past, the Egyptian Mini-Pack ($2.99) just released for all of you LittleBigPyramid builders out there with costumes and stickers based on Egyptian myth.

Don’t forget Kai, Nariko and Stickers in the Heavenly Sword Mini-Pack ($2.99).

“Hey Mark…I got Nariko already and I’m not really a into Egyptian myth ever since those “The Mummy” flicks. What do dig are characters from Norse Mythology?”

You don’t say! Well my friends, good things to come.

Great weekend to all!

<3 LBP… I want some more level packs though.

Can’t you give the Nariko-Preorder-People the Heavenly Sword pack for free / make it the same download-file?
I want Kai really bad, but I won’t buy the whole pack as I have Nariko already. I’m not very happy about this decision and I now regret falling for this preorder-nonsense.

Also, you made it sound like the preorder-stuff won’t be available later as DLC.
I would have then bought the game for a cheaper price + US-Version.
That’s my second “rant”. The LBP-costumes are already a bit overpriced (MGS4-pack = good), but you have to pay the same price in € with the PAL-Version (3$ = 3€, not cool :( )

keep it up, tough I still wait for online-editor, scores and image-import via HDD :>

Whatever happened to the Golf contest?
Is the winner picked by hearts? Mine actually counts your swings but its difficult so it didn’t do so hot. Three people can play it though.

Do you guys have anymore plans for level packs like the MGS one? That was my favorite and I especially like the added trophies and stuff :)

  Great job Sara! (Mark had to split today)
  You made the folks at Mm giggle. For that (and all the hard work you put into the vid) you deserve some luv back. Check your inbox in the days ahead, you might see something shiny that will fit nicely on Sackboy\’s head.

I have to agree with SolidusDave, this whole DLC thing when paired up with those of us who preordered and jumped through hoops for Nariko and Kratos or in some cases both are now getting shafted. Makes me feel as though I should have just waited to get the game when it was selling used for 30 dollars as opposed to getting kicked in the balls by media molecule who helped supply these incentives in the first place.

To be honest future media molecule pre-order bonus’ are going to be looked upon dis favorably by the PS Fanbase. It’s like getting a gift from a friend and then realizing that the gift he/she gave you is actually the gift you gave them last year that had never been unwrapped. Not the best analogy, but the feeling is about the same. So why should we go through the trouble?

I think everyone is just sick of these packs. We’d love to see LEVEL packs like MGS one. That was something.
FoolKiller79
May 1, 2009 at 1:35 pm PDT

So, uh, how can I get Kai without paying for a Nariko outfit that I already have?

I have only preordered twice ever. The first time (GT5:P) I got shafted by Best Buy not having the game to me for days past launch and now this. I think I am done with preorders.

More MGS-style level packs, plz.

LBP is cool. But damn, you guys sure do milk the DLC. I haven’t bought any of it.

Thanks, guys. Just voted for MM and LBP in the “Golden Joystick” awards as PS3 GOTY, GOTY, and UK developer of the year. Also voted Sony Publisher OTY thanks to great 1st party software like LBP…

Can’t wait for the Mezco toy line! I’m checking Amazon daily for preorders. Amazon got my vote for best retailer thanks to their excellent prices and free shipping.

As long as they don’t put the Astronaut costume out too cheaply we’ve still got something to hold over our non-launch brethren.

Here’s a hint if you want more free stuff: tell all your PS3 owning friends who don’t have it yet to buy it.

I still want an Uncharted level pack! Hope you’re working on it Mm, also some network problems.

By the way play my level, “The History of LittleBigPlanet”:

Well done Sara, I watched your video a few days ago and it was actually quite enjoyable. Volver a Comenzar is such a catchy song, heh?

Any word of the Final Fantasy VII Pack?

I have a feeling it will appear the week Advent Children is released which happens to be the day of Sonys E3 conference.

@21 Lucreto

If you go to the LBP forum site you would have heard that Sephiroth or FFVII content has no release date and might never see the light of day. It killed all of us to hear this after they showed us Sephiroth.

Thank you very much for posting this,

Also I have a couple questions to ask (I’m hooping that one of you kind MM/PS staff could help answer.)

1. Will the PSP version of LBP enhance any of the PS3’s version or vice versa?
2. I gather that since this is creator pack 1 that more will follow, could you confirm this?
3. How does it feel to have created an absolute 1 of a kind masterpiece that I, my Wife, and Kids truly value?

  1) More info on LBP PSP to come but I wouldn\’t be surprised to see some interactivity between both games.
  
  2) As far as I know this should be the first of future Creator Packs to come.
  
  3) It feels great to be part of this great title and feels even better it\’s a game that can involve the entire family like yours.

Great Job MM. Are you guys currently looking for an entry-level programmer? I’m always available, I’ll fly there in second. :)

@24 most likely they will still come MM is great at delivering free stuff.

Um…. I love LBP? Feels weird only having a four word sentence to say so I might as well add some filler to this post.

May 2, 2009 at 7:12 pm PDT

can i PLEEEEEAAAAASEEEEE get a response as to why the ice element of the game was removed.

Seems really odd as the video demo with alex evans showed it, and it looked pretty polished and finished. Also, he said i was one of his favourite aspects to the game. A further crushing blow.

please reply. and if youre not at liberty to discuss,,, then just give a me a wink so i’ll stop pestering you

I have an awesome suggestion for a costume pack.You should make one for Fallout 3. You can make a Brother Hood of Steel soilder costume. If anyone agrees message me on PSN. my ID is m558Y

I think they should make an “Uncharted” costume pack as well as a lvl pack.They should also make a “Dark Knight” costume pack, I think it would be so cool to play as Batman and the Joker.
