LittleBigPlanet 2's Creation Tools Are Completely Ridiculous

just looks amazing.

pretty exited for this, can't wait t make an epic penis level.
 
 
don't fool yourself, you know you want to make one too!

I loved LBP but made the mistake of playing the SHIT out of the beta, when the retail game came along and I was forced to sit through the tutorials again for all the creation tools I just couldn't be bothered!

There's 50 levels in LBP1, all very fun to play. I got my money's worth in the game without even touching the creation tools.  Then me and my little cousins got even more play time running through various levels created by other users, all without touching the create tools. 
 
Don't mistake them giving you these creation tools as them not having made levels of their own. Remember that MM made a lot of these tools so that they could make a better game themselves, and there's even more levels in LBP2 than in LBP1.

You could always just ..play the levels they make. "

It will be great to see what people create. 

 "My only thought in looking at all this potential is that Media Molecule had better be careful and not empower the players too much, or they may never have a reason to buy a LittleBigPlanet 3.  "   
 
Don't say that.  The stupid pop-it object limits that made saving new levels you made fail without error message were from that train of thought.

can't wait for this to hit stores.

Like the first so we'll see what people do with this one.

Can't wait.

Voo-doo is the only thing that can explain all of this. They've allowed you to create more types of games but they've made the tools simpler to use? Media Molecule, you have my bow.

This really sounds bloody awesome

" This game is going to be fucking awesome!
 
ALSO: Found an insane detailed list of all the features and changes to existing content that has been revealed or experienced so far. Its really insane and everyone who is interested in the level making side of LBP should check it out.

I was skeptical about the need for a new LBP, but they're going way above and beyond what I expected from it. Can't wait!

Could I make an RPGRTSFPS?

Game looks fucking revolutionary. Cant wait for launch.

I never got to deep into the creation stuff on the first game, might of been due to the controls. Hoping the Move will make creating stuff alot easier, seems like the best opportunity for it.

Wow. Wow. Wow.  I can't even begin to think about owning all of the great games coming out this fall and the new holiday season (spring 2011 haha).  Love what Media Molecule is doing here.

It really should be amazing to see what people make in the new game. In the first game I saw things that I never thought would be possible with the creation tools; now that it looks like you can make almost anything, it will be amazing to see what kind of mind blowing things people make.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i'm glad this is comin out around me finally having some kinda interest in buying the PS3.

Man... this is just fantastic. Seriously.

I cant wait to see what the many unique minds create with this! I mean some of the levels for the original were pretty incredible and mind blowing, but to see what people will do with this! hopefully it doesnt scare people away with how much you can do.

I think at this point, this game should be renamed "LittleBigUniverse"

I cant wait to see what people make with this game.

This kinda makes me want a PS3.  Epic Sackboy RPG for the win!

and awesome

Can't wait to play games on this thing.

It's starting to look like you'll be able to make damn near anything you can think of with the content creation tools in LittleBigPlanet 2. At an in-depth demo today, Media Molecule's Alex Evans talked almost solely about all the new ways this sequel will let you create your own new levels and game types. He didn't even really take the time to show off the developer's pre-made story mode that will be in the game. That ought to tell you where the developer's focus is in this sequel.
