LittleBigPlanet getting bluer, blurrier with Sonic costume pack

by Griffin McElroy { Nov 20th 2009 at 4:30PM }

We're usually hesitant to spend real-life money on virtual clothing, but you can bet we'll spring at the chance to purchase the recently revealed Sonic the Hedgehog costume pack for LittleBigPlanet. See, if we dress ourselves up like the series' speedy, cerulean protagonist, then play one of the many, many Green Hill Zone stages crafted by the LBP community, we can pretend that we're playing a decent, current-gen Sonic platformer.

We've contacted Media Molecule to try and find out the North American release date and price for this costume pack. We shouldn't let the developer hear us say this, but we'd pay anything for that beautiful illusion.

I'm not gunna lie. I'm slightly turned on by this.

Slayer @ Nov 20th 2009 4:35PM

You are a strange individual. :P

Special Agent Steve @ Nov 20th 2009 4:35PM

Eggman is a total VILF.*
*Villian I'd Like to...

Taren @ Nov 20th 2009 4:55PM

* Dr. Robotnik, not Eggman.

Drago Dracini @ Nov 20th 2009 5:03PM

furry

squallgengar @ Nov 20th 2009 5:10PM

So what if he is? Who freakin' cares?

Hooch @ Nov 20th 2009 5:14PM

Why did I know this would out the furries?

MuToiD_MaN @ Nov 20th 2009 5:23PM

Typical that it would.

korwyn @ Nov 20th 2009 6:06PM

One of the best looking LBP costumes til date.

Bagels (@AlsoBagels) @ Nov 20th 2009 9:57PM

Give credit to Brad Guigar where it's due, Special Agent Steve.

And furries need to die in a fiery torment.

Solace @ Nov 20th 2009 4:37PM

why would you guys contact Media Molecule for information when you guys already knew weeks in advanced.. haha

phinnvr6 @ Nov 20th 2009 4:39PM

Costume pack looks cool, but it would be a lot better if there was some Sonic levels included with some stuff to make your own Sonic style maps. Granted there are plenty on there already if you search.

matthew_neitzer @ Nov 20th 2009 4:39PM

Wait, is that supposed to be the were-hog version? What are they thinking?! Why would you want to play as one of the major flaws of their last game?

Ashitaka @ Nov 20th 2009 4:43PM

I was thinking that too -_-'

Rirath @ Nov 20th 2009 4:44PM

While I agree, didn't Sega PR claim recently that the werehog was quite popular with younger gamers?

M.Garvey @ Nov 20th 2009 4:52PM

I was wondering who the other hedgehog was!

Mr.ESC @ Nov 20th 2009 5:46PM

Where? I don't see a costume representing the awful Sonic 2006 areas of the 2D sections.

To be honest the werehog part was fun,I don't know why people didn't like it,in fact it would work better as a stand alone game renamed Golden Axe.

matthew_neitzer @ Nov 20th 2009 5:51PM

The internet is full of opinions. But to be clear, I said their last game, so you should have known that I wasn't talking about -that- Sonic game. :D

Platy @ Nov 20th 2009 6:47PM

You will want to play as the wherehog because the alternative would be playing a slow sonic in a sonic themed world

So you have 2 choices ... blames sega or blame media molecule.

Sega is easier xD

samueltehg33k @ Nov 20th 2009 4:40PM

Yeah! One bad platformer combined with another!

Ashitaka @ Nov 20th 2009 4:42PM

WHAAA? STFU & GTFO of my Joystiq!

2nd Lieutenant Gunther (PSN: helghast102) (Getting a DS :D) @ Nov 20th 2009 4:51PM

This is a dumbass from YouTube, completely PS3 negative, ignore him.

Special Agent Steve @ Nov 20th 2009 4:54PM

I don't have a PS3, yet I find LBP on the PSP to be amazing.
Suck it.

korwyn @ Nov 20th 2009 6:06PM

So what's a great platformer? Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and Destroy All Human? LOL

Sly @ Nov 20th 2009 7:01PM

since when is destroy all humans a platformer?

MrAlex @ Nov 20th 2009 7:45PM

Don't people realise the douchebag contest is over!

Shadsy @ Nov 20th 2009 4:41PM

They missed a great opportunity to reuse that creepy-ass Robo Tails from Sonic Adventure 2.

Bagels (@AlsoBagels) @ Nov 20th 2009 10:00PM

"Thar bee stickers in those hills..."

Ashitaka @ Nov 20th 2009 4:42PM

SO awesome! I want them so badly, too bad I don't pay for costumes...

trevor @ Nov 20th 2009 4:46PM

thank you, thank you, you're far too kind

trevor @ Nov 20th 2009 4:48PM

well... cept for the werehog. that was painfully unnecessary, guys. seriously.

Shiaoran @ Nov 20th 2009 5:00PM

Agreed. I'd rather have Super Sonic.

pat_boy2008 @ Nov 20th 2009 7:48PM

or Shadow

or Amy Rose so there be a girl in there

Shiaoran @ Nov 20th 2009 4:46PM

The idea is awesome, but these costumes look like crap...

Shiaoran @ Nov 20th 2009 4:57PM

Reasons I'm being downvoted:

- I like Sonic.
- I said Sonic-related stuff looks like crap.

The world is against me! I've angered both sides! D:

Traceur_Ryuk [Founder of The Anti-EMCB(tm) and co-leader of ATDF] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Nov 20th 2009 5:06PM

I agree, they actually look like a custom made one.

Traceur_Ryuk [Founder of The Anti-EMCB(tm) and co-leader of ATDF] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Nov 20th 2009 5:16PM

Hmm...

http://www.luckettopia.com/LBP_knockknockits.jpg

Mr.ESC @ Nov 20th 2009 5:49PM

Especially Eggman,what the hell man?

Then again they are not nearly as bad as the Loco Roco costumes,that is nightmare fuel right there.

Darkfocus @ Nov 20th 2009 6:18PM

actually if you changed the eyes to the lion eyes instead of the button ones they'd look pretty good

BPMOmega [XBL, PSN, Steam] @ Nov 20th 2009 7:14PM

I like the fact that that Knuckles that Ryuk linked to has his awesome hat from that one Sonic anime. Now, to set it on fire!

JACK @ Nov 21st 2009 1:21AM

umm guys ... im with you and all BUT this IS sackboy with just a COSTUME soooo.... ummmm yeah...

Rein [Prime Minister of the city-state of New Bjork] @ Nov 20th 2009 4:47PM

They put in Werehog Sonic and not Shadow? What the fuck were they thinking? I'd rather have Big the Cat or Cream the Rabbit than the Werehog...

CCI Northpaw @ Nov 20th 2009 4:51PM

I don't know if it is just because it is a side-view profile image or not, but the Werehog costume is the best looking one. The other ones just look awkward. Though I would rather have Rouge or even Silver than the Werehog.

Lurkero @ Nov 20th 2009 4:54PM

I can't tell if its awesome...or creepy...Those eyes...

charlie b. @ Nov 20th 2009 4:55PM

Robotnik Sackboy is ADORABLE.

i'll call him Dr. Rosacknik

Space @ Nov 20th 2009 5:49PM

What's wrong with Dr. Robotsack?

charlie b. @ Nov 20th 2009 7:02PM

you've bested me, Space.

T-Patch @ Nov 20th 2009 4:55PM

I... I think my mind just blew...

*looks at keyboard*

yep, this officially blew my mind.

shadowhowl1900 @ Nov 20th 2009 4:58PM

quality isnt that good but where is shadow?

Shiaoran @ Nov 20th 2009 5:03PM

Dumped like many other characters before him.
