Forums - Sony - One thing that disapoints me about LBP (I'm asking for a ****storm here)

I do like the world of colour level. There is another one, I wish I could remember the name. A fairy forest is attacked by the crab king, and it's a really imaginative and aesthetically pleasing level that is put together pretty well. They are out there they are just drowned out by all the batman levels.

 

Edit: The name of that level is "the moonlit orb" look it up if you get the chance.

Do they allow you to see the most recently published levels now? That's one thing that really bothered me in the beta.



this is your second LBP rant xD

why you bought it remind me?



I've seen some amazing original levels. And I'm in the middle of making a level of my own which I'm not going to tell you about because you'll steal my idea. By the way, did you make your own original level or are you just full of poopie?



I made a thread a few days ago about the inevitable accusations of plagiarism. Some of them may not be direct rip offs. It's not hard to imagine that some people are bound to have similar ideas and don't even know it. The cream will inevitably rise to the top. Any levels that aren't worthy of play will fall by the wayside. If somebody makes a level similar to yours, but theirs is better...that's life and that's friendly competition.



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

different kind of plagiarism. This isn't stealing somebodies idea for a level so much as just trying their best to mimick what they've already played. People just aren't very imaginative.

You need to realize one thing....right now people are "familiarising" themselves WITH the game.....choosing a "FAMILIAR" theme to "them" will make this easier.

so the first levels WILL be rip off's of games as that is within the comfort levels of people's minds for a "beginning/first level"

If they feel they have successfully created a level based on a game they already know....then maybe they will be inclined to do an original one

 

The fundamental problem is that it's vastly more difficult than most people think to come up with good ideas. Then even if you do come up with a good idea, you have to have the patience to execute it properly.

Most people aren't going to sit at the game for hours trying to work through writers block.

 I remember Jack Black giving the advice that when it comes to music you should start by getting good at playing other people's music before you attempt to write your own.  Same principle here.

I created the level "the blind watchmaker". go check it out. It may not be good, but it's not a ripoff.
