I haven’t played in a while. I kind of wish you guys would fix that join issue within the network. It causes a lot of Grief on me… I can’t join my friends and or i get the time out error. Etc. and i hate the rejected thing if it is play we should play with anyone! I can’t get a lot of the content i am shooting for.

Anyone want to play just pm me and we will play!

Favorite costume is the Slurpee and the Gonzo!

Can’t wait for it. By the way, whatever happened to the regular weekly LBP post? I miss those, and with a new LBP game on the horizon, it’s a good a time as ever to have those start up again.

Looks like I’ll be spending $39.99 a lot this year on Sony games. This, House of the Dead Overkill Extended Cut, Tekken Hybrid, God of War Origins Collection and Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection. If you keep putting out great games like these at great prices I’ll keep buying them.

Gotta hop back into lbp2 and get that update, any details on price of the move pack yet? Don’t let it be expensive please :P

My favorite sackboy costume is honestly too hard to choose, so many are great from the MGS4 costumes to the Marvel costumes to the Final Fantasy 7 and so on. I honestly couldn’t choose a definitive one.

Was Stephen Fry unavailable to do voice for the Move addon? Shame. Still, what I’ve seen so far looks pretty darn fun.

Favorite Sackboy costume?

Hmmm…. I still love my Judge Dredd/Psi Judge Anderson outfits. I think my Sackperson wears those more than any other.

I also love the Doctor Who costumes that only exist in my imagination.

Such a great price. LBP2 is incredible multiplayer fun. I had one of the best gaming nights ever with this game when it came out. We stay up all night doing 4 player story mode. The story mode was awesome! This game was leapls and bounds better than the original. I can’t say it enough, but lbp2 is awesome. downloading asap!

  FYI – you can still play some awesome multi-player with Move. 3 Sackboys with Move controllers (+ Navigation controllers) and a 4th using the standard DualShock3. Just be careful not to hit anyone.

I might invest in move as this, resistance 3, killzone 3 and heavy rain are tempting to add move to. I add my support to the release it a dd on ps store
Imputed7-14
September 7, 2011 at 1:37 pm PDT

It is either the Halloween Pumpkin head with the ringmaster outfit from LBP 1 or Buzz Lightyear. Though all of that could change with a Nathan Drake…maybe in honor of Uncharted 3?

Oh snap! $40? Not too shabby but man there are so many games that I’m still backlogged. Gonna add this to my collection though. Too good to pass up. Good move and thanks a lot!

Gotta say my favorite costume is Old Snake.

I don’t have Move so I won’t be getting the Move Pack, but I’m interested to see what the community makes with it.

What happened to Stephan Fry? Why is he not narrating the intro? Also how much will this cost?

I’m really hoping the Move Pack will be free, it looks like so much fun! I’ve waited since launch day to play with the move part of the game, but a little disappointed (as well as a lot of others) to see the only move compatibility was a few LBP1-esque levels.

the move is great! brings a whole new level to gaming…even an amazing game like LBP2. Keep killing um PS3! LONG LIVE PLAY

@8 Jim777, where did you get that Ratchet avatar? I’ve searched for it on the PS store but I haven’t found it. Anyone know? It looks awesome!

I downloaded the update and played the tutorials, so far it looks very promising! I’m eager for the new controlinator tool, and the motion capture tool. I hope its somewhere around 10$, I’ll go as high as 20$ for this one though =)

#32 @MRGamer01, The move pack will NOT be free, but Mm says it will NOT be expensive

@29 (MarioGamer159), Even if you don’t have a move you can still get the Move Pack. It comes with a lot of other stuff: including 17 new sequencer instruments, Also, if you have a friend that has a move, you can always follow them around so you can get the materials and prizes.

I know I am buying it, and I do not have a move yet.
Adean12-PR
September 7, 2011 at 2:33 pm PDT

and still no price for the move pack im so pumped for it please make it as loooow as possible hopefully free but plz tell me and can you please make a cool ninja dlc with two hand swords and awesome detail

@34, go register on the Ratchet And Clank Website. Sorry but I no longer have the link.

The price of the playstation move im not so sure but with my birthday coming up soon I might get it because this sounds pretty cool. I really love creating all kinds of cool stuff with the controlinator. Any Ideas would be great? But since I already have Lbp2 Im thinking about putting the playstation move on my wish list. Pretty COOL though. Thanks for the update. My favorite costume is the Marvel costumes! Making the costumes change such as when you make wolverine’s emotions angry, his claws pop out! and i think if you make more cool costumes like those i’ll be sure to buy them!

Tried the Move controls. Was good fun, but You seemed to forget we can’t scale object size with the Move. :(
Please fix!
JillyDad
September 7, 2011 at 2:51 pm PDT

What about aiming power up items with the move controller. Do you use tilt? Or, do you still need the second analogue stick?

Any word on when the leaderboards go back online?
BigBoss672
September 7, 2011 at 3:16 pm PDT

Wow! We had an update without knowing what. That’s… unexpected.
OK, so will the Move Pack be free? Cause it will be a little unfair to those who have a Move but can’t use it for the tools. Also, players that want to play Move levels, are they allowed to play it? Cause in Create Mode for example you can’t use something when you joined someone & he/she doesn’t have it.
And fnally i want to say: man, i wish i was in a LBP2 trailer.

why do we have “stay tuned” for the price of move pack when it comes out next week? is the price so special to keep it away from us? it better not cost $20 -__-

@ Bigboss672 (#44) “OK, so will the Move Pack be free?”

NO, it will not be free. Mm says it will NOT be expensive though.

@Mandown (#46)
Thats isn’t possible because water is a Dynamic 3D object. They would have to totally redo parts of the engine LBP2 is running on.

Now i don’t know wheter to buy it now or wait till they make a GOTY edition (hopefully). :)
