All new trophies for LBP!

:eek::cool:
 
Sounds like the Paintinator Powerup is a new power up for a sackboy paint ball gun! You can use this in your own levels, so we can have sackboys of war, or call of Sackboy, or even resistance fall of sackboy ( think ill better stop). Be pretty cool i think it could even be used to trigger stuff maybe eg shoot all these targets etc. Cant wait TBH think its out on the 23rd December when the next PSN update hits, I think all LBP DLC has hit all stores the same time, well at least US/UK ones so should be available for all of us.:)
 
Erm thats a difficult one to answer as you are gonna get some bias in this thread...

Personally no one game has ever made me buy a console, so I would probably try and validate the purchase more by looking at what else you might get/use. Considering other games that are considered 'worth buying a console for' I think this is one of the best - I like the fact its not gratuitously obvious...

But you really need to devote time to it to get the best out of it - especially creating your own levels and stuff - yes youll get the short-term enjoyment, but to really get why others like this so much you need to put the hours in and you need some in-game friends to help...

P.S. How many bloody PS3s have you had and sold Mark :p

ps3ud0 :cool:

So it looks like we all wil get it on the 23rd, theres a post on the PSblog about it. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008...solid-edition-on-the-ps-store-1223/#more-4422

Just when you thought we were done with the Holiday surprises (Free Santa, Festive Level Pack, LBC1 winners, etc, etc) we have one more announcement up our sleeve…and it’s a dozy. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been biting our tongues, and finally we can reveal our latest offering (originally ‘somewhat’ announced at this years TGS) – Metal Gear Solid packs - Available 12/23 on the PlayStation Store.


Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack
You’ve seen Solid Snake, but have you seen the rest of the cast? (well, ok…maybe you have… ) Meryl Silverburgh, Screaming Mantis & Raiden each have their own costumes from the MGS world. Get all 4 characters for the price of 3 at $5.99 on the PS Store, or pick your favorite and buy it individually for $1.99.

Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack
Now that you know about our Festive Level Pack, which fills your Pop-it tool with a ton of “Create” materials, objects and stickers, our Premium Level Packs introduce that and a whole lot more. So without further adeu…lets talk about what’s inside the MGS Level Pack (and this time we mean “Level” pack…)

First off, you’ll get a new Sackboy costume… the Gurlokovich Soldier.



Plus tons of new stickers (72), materials (12), decorations (10), and objects (18).

The objects are especially cool, why you ask…well, in addition to these ‘create’ materials, our Premium Level Packs include new Story Levels and they’re filled these new objects. That’s because, Media Molecule teamed with Konami to create 5 new Story Levels and 1 new Challenge Level for you to enjoy.


Now we couldn’t just build a level using the basic tools above, we need music, new sound effects, and new elements to provide a true MGS experience. So you’re getting these in the Level Pack, as well:

* 1 new background music track
* 3 new interactive music tracks
* 1 new Metal Gear Solid themed ‘sound object’
* New Plasma Ball ‘danger element’
* New Laser Sight ‘gadget’
* New functioning Searchlight lamp – for those special ‘exclamation mark’ moments

…and finally, the piece de resistance…THE PAINTINATOR (and Paint Switch)


Now, not only will you be able to run, jump, push, pull, swing, etc, etc in LBP, but now you’ll be able to splatter anything that comes between you and the end of any level. Once you equip the Paintinator, you can send sacksized paintballs flying by mashing on the R1 button and using the right stick to aim. Few things about flying paintballs, when Sackboys are hit with them, it feels like a very weak slap. You can also shoot ‘Brains’ from a safe distance and progress thru levels much easier. In addition to the Paintinator, we’re introducing a Paint Switch, so you can attach it to any object and set it to destruct after being splattered with enough paint. Here’s a video to show you the Metal Gear Solid Level Pack in action…

Add to all that, there are 12 new Trophies to unlock (and if you pay attention to the story at all, we’re not a big fan of Trophy Levels).

So now you see why we’ve been biting our tongue on this announcement. Tons of new gameplay, tons of new game-changing objects, and tons of create materials…all for just $5.99 (shesh…did that just sound like an infomercial?). We absolutely can’t wait to see what the community does with this pack and the new types of levels this will bring to the Share Planet.

And wait…there’s more…
So, here’s one of the coolest things about this pack…you guys know LBP is all about PLAY, CREATE & SHARE – well, you’ll be glad to know that this Level Pack holds true to that. For those who buy the Premium Level Pack, you get everything above (and hopefully a lot of fun in-between). If you don’t buy it, you’ll still be able to enjoy the MGS pack goodness. Here’s how:

* Non-MGS Level Pack owners can PLAY the MGS Story Levels by joining a “host” who owns the pack and play the levels online together. Now you won’t be able to keep any objects, but you can have tons of fun just PLAYing.
* MGS Level Pack owners will be able to CREATE levels with any of these items (including the Paintinator) and SHARE them online for everyone to play.

Again, we’re very excited to present this MGS Level Pack to you as a taste of how LBP can and will continue to evolve over time. With the support of our community, whether it’s creating new and awesome levels on the Share Planet or buying our Costumes and Level Packs, we’ll continue to provide more LBP goodness down the road in 2009.

So check back on the PS Store on 12/23 and treat yourself to a present this holiday season :)

Reading the comments both packs are $6 easch so $12 for both, worth every penny IMO. You also dont have to have the DLC to join a game with someone who has which i think is a great idea. Seems like at present though sackboys/girls can use a jetpack and paint gun at the same time but it sounds like it may change in the future.
 
The costume pack should cost the same as the SF2 pack in EU as it is the same $5.99 in USA. Also the level pack is $5.99 so I think if we just compare the price to an existing costume pack X 2 that will be total UK cost.

Cannot wait for this tbh. I really like the idea that anyone can play this new content, without paying by joining a hosted level. Try before you buy (sort of). I may just buy the level pack, although the Mantis sackboy costume does look pretty awesome (in a purely cosmetic, non functional way!!)

So, the level pack is going to cost the same as the costume packs do? That's fantastic, i'm not at all interested in costumes but to get a new set of levels and game features for so little really is great DLC pricing.

However, the best DLC is free DLC, guess we can't have everything though.
 
I have to say, I'm chuffed with the ammount of DLC that Mm has produced and the regularity of it. Week in and week out they've delivered something nice. :)

Most games don't see DLC for months, and even then it's sporadic release dates.
