Sackboy gets the inFamous treatment on August 6 photo

Media Molecule has revealed that Sackboy outfits for LittleBigPlanet, modeled after inFamous' Cole MacGrath, will be coming to the PlayStation Store on August 6.

We're talking two outfits here -- one for good, and one for evil. The difference mostly being the color of the electrical spark that sits in Sackboy's hand. One matches his angry face, the other doesn't. Different outfits depending on your mood, of course.

Price of these suckers has yet to be announced. Looks like just about every first-party game has been given the Sackboy treatment, from God of War to Resistance. So Naughty Dog, what's up? Where's the Uncharted LBP costumes?

I used to think these were really cool, until a commenter pointed out to me: Who actually pays for any of this anymore?

Then I was like... shit.

I stopped downloading sackboy costumes when they stopped offering them for free.

Still probably better than InFamous. *snare roll*

That being said, paying for these sucks. I wouldn't mind if every time you got a first party game Sony would give you related LBP stuff for free, but I'm not buying these.

And screw Uncharted- where's my Jak costume?

the costume pack should include a chain link fence tool for the level builder that is completely impossible to circumvent.

This is nothing compared to the Marvel Costumes. I could've sworn they said they were going to focus on more levels. Might be wrong though.

@CrazyApe69
Don't you mean MediaMolecule instead of Sony?

Nick Chester, you clearly know the way to my heart. But I would love some Warhawk inspired costumes as well.

This will be one costume just like the Patapon costume with multiple weapons. $1.49 CDN is my guess. But I'm with Takeshi on more MM developed levels. I'm 100% positive they will release them with the Disney costumes for sure, but the Marvel costumes could really uses levels with enemies and bosses too.

Considering that I still play LittleBigPlanet pretty frequently, I've bought quite a few costumes already. And I'm not sorry at all for it :P

It be better if he had a red ball of electricity in one hand and a blue ball of electricity in the other hand. And half of his face would be angry and the other half would be nice.

@Falcon; You got a copy of Sonic Unleashed? I wanna blast though that real quick before Borderlands comes out and I forget about everything.

Or hell, if I get Scribblenauts before then....

That is pretty awesome but I kinda have to agree with everyone on the topic of costumes. I miss the weekly free ones :(

Wait, what?

In inFamous, you definitely have a different looking costume for good and evil. The good costume is the standard color, whereas when you're evil your clothes look dirty and dark.

These two costumes look identical, minus the color of electricity and the smirk.

If the costume had any impact on the character's abilities (a la Mario) then I might buy one, and I reckon others might too. They would have to be balanced and all that of course but it would be so refreshing because sackboy is limited and boring and dressing him as ryu or cole or wanderer or whoever isn't going to change that.

If Sackboy was made into your PS3 avatar then I would be more inclined to buy these outfits as they always look awesome!

This is shit.

It's just a simple outfit.
The MGS pack was so much better detailed and cooler than this.

geeze, Sony's whoring out Sackboy for cash almost as much as MS does with pretty much everything else.
