Looks like the most promising out of all the games shown so far. Plus, people love sackboy.

I agree that actually looks ok, plus I like the idea of having one player control the character while the other shapes the environment. More games should be doing that in co-op.

Interesting. Co-op where one person is controlling Sackboy and the other person is using the remote to move objects.

There's a separate analog controller/dpad so maybe one person can do this.

Yawn.  Not sure why so many folks are crazy over LBP.  It's boring as hell.  This doesn't do much to change that.

Looks Mario Galaxyesque...(man that is an odd word), except more helpful than the dude that would help you get star bits.

Woah you laid down some truth bombs there for sure!
 
If you don't like LBP of course you're not going to like it with motion control.

Man...I think the technology is still really cool, but does my friend really wanna sit there and toggle switches or whatever. Even better, do I wanna wait for him to do so? It just seems really gimmicky at this point. Waiting for more details..

Wow, that looks like complete garbage. Sure, LBP is fun, but that looked clumsy and not very fun.

Plain and simple it's not, its just a gimmick to put their shiny new controller to use in one of their most popular games.

That's what it looks like to me. If that's the case, then that's kind of cool.

I suppose if the right level was created this could be useful, at the end of the day it's just a little extra so it's nice they are using the move control in a way even it it's not particularly interesting.

Instead of making motion controller levels, why not let you use the controller in the create a level feature. If its as precise as they say it is, then it would make creating custom levels a whole lot easier.

The only Move support game that actually interests me is a game back from 2008.

I'm sorry, but that's exactly how it should be. The use of the LBP motion seems to compliment the game, rather than being everything that game has to offer. That level is not that good, rather to showcase simple things that can be done. Yet watch how that one guy makes the level that makes the motion controls the best thing thats ever happened on LBP.

This really reminds me of the second player option in Super Mario Galaxy, it seems more like a gimmick then anything else.

The tech is good but the uses they have are pretty poor right now. This really doesn't fit in LBP and they should do something worthwhile from the ground up instead of shoe-horning it in, that's what Wii ran into for years and still does.

is it just me or does this not make any sense at all? I always assumed one of the big strengths of LBP was its physics engine and using those physics to get around puzzles. Being able to move things with an all-powerful controller seems pretty counter intuitive

It's a good tech demo to show how similar it is to the Wiimote, but LBP is not the game that comes to mind on being able to be made better by motion control. How about some shooters?

Looks alot better than the other games using the magic notavibrator controller, however after getting constantly stuck on getting past some areas in LBP having even less control while flailing about makes it even less likely to get through.
