TGS 08: You got Metal Gear and Final Fantasy in my LittleBigPlanet

by Jem Alexander { Oct 9th 2008 at 1:45AM }

Sony has announced that two new LittleBigPlanet costumes will be made available for download in the future. Metal Gear Solid's Old Snake and Final Fantasy VII's Sephiroth have been stripped and their clothes donated to the LittleBigPlanet thrift store.

Unfortunately, there's no word on when they will be made available, or whether they'll be paid-for content. There's also no definite answer to whether they'll be available outside of Japan but, considering both games have large fanbases in the US and Europe, we'd be surprised if they didn't. Check out Sephiroth's Tokyo Game Show unveiling above and Old Snake's after the break.

Aren't they cute?

OLD SNAKE COSTUME

Awesome. Only "third party" costume I cared about, and I don't even have to preorder from a certain retailer to get it.

I hope we get some MGS levels and a Young Snake, Big Boss, and Revolver Ocelot costume.

Wouldn't young Snake just be Old Snake without the mustache? And darker hair, but that shouldn't be hard to do...

Old Sackboy Snake! nice. :D

Hala Madrid!! (PSWii60 Defense Force) @ Oct 9th 2008 2:02AM

No matching Cigarette costume part? Disappointing I say.

I just wonder what other franchises will show up in LittleBigPlanet before too long.

Rick @ Oct 9th 2008 12:23PM

They attempted to give Sackboy the cigarette but unfortunately they kept catching on fire.

That guy @ Oct 9th 2008 3:19AM

Needs more playstation franchises.

Maverick Saturn @ Oct 9th 2008 8:00AM

I doubt they'd be allowed to have Sackboy smoking a cigarette, with the law of advertising to children and all.

But this is cool :D

bah @ Oct 17th 2008 11:36AM

if laws were in place to stop cigarette company's from advertising to children then the entire industry would be gone. there are studies seized from tobaco companies (and quotes from the subsequent reports) stating that if tobacco companies were to stop advertising to children they would go under in 30 years.

the truth is there are no effective advertising laws against tobacco, especially not in the states (though i'm not sure about japan). atleast in Canada print adds are completley banned, as well as powerswall campaigns

Maverick Saturn @ Oct 17th 2008 12:02PM

Well then its something they should certainly consider, smokers annoy me >:(

j.howlett @ Oct 9th 2008 9:33AM

i earned a walking metal gear rex in the beta yesterday. it go well with the snakeboy

JoeTheBlow @ Oct 9th 2008 10:40AM

Wait....WHAT?!

j.howlett @ Oct 9th 2008 10:53AM

somebody made a walking metal gear rex and i walked him to the end of the stage and the prize at the end was i got a metal gear to use in create mode.

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Oct 9th 2008 1:43PM

I played that level last night. Rex itself was impressive, especially that it worked and walked. But it was waaaaaay too slow.

Also, if a level is giving you trouble but you want to earn an object in it, you can copy any user-created level over to My Moon, go into Create, and turn any section of it into a custom object for use anywhere.

Can you still pre-order little big planet and didn't GameStop just add God of War sacks?

peepoop @ Oct 9th 2008 9:45AM

I was getting worried, you hadn't posted any LBP stories in almost six hours.

Don't scare me like that again, Joystiq.

JoeTheBlow @ Oct 9th 2008 10:39AM

Sony just lightly tickled the balls of the Japanese and certainly caught their attention for this game.

Nice work Media Molecule, you cunning brits.

Just Mr ESC. @ Oct 9th 2008 11:33AM

Little Sephiroth Sack boy FTW!

That's it I'm buying a Ps3 just for this game.

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Oct 9th 2008 1:47PM

And then be pleasantly surprised at how many other quality games are out there on it.

Vegnagun bwf @ Oct 9th 2008 12:11PM

ADORABLE!

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Oct 9th 2008 1:46PM

Oh my. As if Sackboy wasn't cute enough, that little Sephiroth sackboy is irresistable. As for Old Snake, I would've been happy with just the Solid Eye costume piece; a full outfit is pretty sweet.

This game is a marketer's wet dream. You could literally put any known character into this game as an outfit and it will win over a bunch of that character's fans instantly.
