LBP at PAX (Penny Acrcade Expo) in Seattle (with video of GOTY and PSP)

They would keep it as close as possible with controls. But the directional buttons might be the selecting and crap like that.

or the right and left arrow??

the reason i suggested it was that you use the arrows for menu navigation

Hey, sorry if this is a big bump, but could you describe the pod in LBPSP in more detail? I'm making an info thread on LBPSP and would like to know as much as possible. Did you have anytime with create mode too?

Sorry took so long, still recovering...
The pod is a LOT different. It's like you see it from a distance, you cannot "go inside" it really. On the side of the pod you can see a "totem pole" sort of with, I believe 4 sections. One was for costumes and if you clicked on it , it took you to a small square box with a big red button on the side to exit costume edit mode. I did not see create mode at all, not sure if it was deactivated or just not unlocked or what. I wanted to let other people het a chance to play.
Hope this helps.

thanks. also, does the pod look like an actual totem pole(weird designs and stuff)? And on the costume selection can you move around or is it like those ones where you can't move your character but can see a full body view of them and stuff(like the sims)?

No it looks like a pod from a distance and instead of a window in the side, there is the 'totem pole' layout of icons on the side of it. (wish I woulda shot video of it. I meant to but forgot in all the craziness)

From what I remember, once you enter the costume section, there is a tiny room you can move around but it zooms in so you can see better. The costume Changing is basically the same. Menus set up the same.

If ya have anymore questions, go ahead and PM me
hope I was able to answer your questions for ya.

Unfortunately, IMO, I don't see us getting one.

This release is going to ride on the achievements of the PS3 version in order to sell.

It's funny, I was at PAX this year as well. I hadn't realized that LBP for the PSP wasn't out yet, I played it first because all the PS3's were crowded.

Later that afternoon, and two bags of swag later, I managed to play it on the PS3. I'll have to tell you, there were two games at PAX that sold me on buying my first PS3, LBP and the new Ratchet and Clank.

Thankfully I waited a few days after getting home, and ended up with the GotY edition.

About the PSP version, I could only play the demo of it for about 5 minutes before I started getting a headache. I found the sackman too tiny on screen and really had to strain to see it, I couldn't imagine playing this for hours.

Anyway, PAX was an awesome show, I'll definitely be going back next year!

I'm not sure, but maybe( i heard it was dark in there) becaue it was dark and you need to strain eyes to see it. I dunno, ill be getting it though anyway. It looks amazing for psp and shows it off as a amazing hardware and'll probably make developers take notice of psp and make more good games.
