We gave this new trailer for Little Big Planeta hard time during last night's VGA liveblog, only because it seems like a really bad way to introduce the game to mainstream audiences. The game's premise (what little we know of it) is pretty complicated, so it might have been smarter to feature a trailer that included a little more explanation, just so Johnny Halofan could get the concept.
That said, if you're already familiar with the game, the new trailer is a confirmed magical treat. Not only is it full of whimsy (a plus) but we're also finally given some idea of the extent to which LBP can be used to generate pirate-related scenarios, the true watermark for all entertainment software. The answer seems to be a resounding "Win ho!"
A lot of people seem to be totally misunderstanding the point of the game.
Do you people not use YouTube? If the level creation doesn't appeal to you, you can still have plenty of fun playing other people's levels (and only the good ones, thanks to the rating system).
Also thanks to the rating system, all the "penis-themed" levels will end up either removed or simply rated out of existence. There's nothing stopping people from uploading videos of their wang on YouTube, but how often do you come across any?
If you can put stickers on the dolls, and had a Nazi armband image you could stick to them, and made a green one with scars and mold pictures stuck to it, then maybe. It would help to make a vampire one to attack it with to convey the image.
