SDCC: Awwwww. Marvel superheroes in LBP photo

Claws, sneering and an angry face. Isn't Sackboy Wolverine just the cutest thing you've ever seen? I just can't wait to boot up LittleBigPlanet, put him on a rocket powered sled, roll it down a large ramp and then launch him into a wall. I'll have to wait though as they just announced them at a panel at Comic-Con, and all we get to see are some pre-renders of the costumes. I'll also have to wait until I own a PS3.

The three costumes shown were Wolverine, Captain America and Iron Man, but that doesn't mean it will be all of them. If I had to wager a guess I would say that we might be seeing them around the launch of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 or possibly the Iron Man one when the Iron Man movie comes out. Who knows really, Marvel has enough things coming out in the upcoming months that they could really drop these whenever the hell they wanted. I'm glad they're going pretty classic with the designs though.

I can't believe it.

I REALLY believe that if Sony wants to join the Miis and Avatars thing it should not look further, just make Sackboys, of course LBP content would be exported, and if bought something for you Sackboy, it would be available for your Sackavatar or whatever.

Sackboy has a lot more charisma than any Mii or Avatar anyways.

Just imagine if Home would be like LBP, it could have the success Sony wants for Home!

I still don't understand why LBP is this popular. I respect how creative it was but i found it boring.. And im not a person who just loves to shoot people only (even though i do) i love all games (Flower for instance was awesome) I guess im just immune to its cuteness D:

Surely there is no way LBP can be still making money from this sort of crap?!?!

I mean the main levels that came with the game was brilliant and at 1st the odd player created levels.

But it's all junk now and its limitations or so blatent it really does ruin the experience in creation.

I can't see anyone buying these costumes now to show off to there friends.

Are they still all 10k in size which means they are still on the actual retail disc (hence unlocking) and not actually being downloaded too?

So glad I sold my copy for over £100 (see my blog post from last year if you don't believe it).

I love those costumes, it really adds to the overall experience because it puts a big smile on your face while running around in your favorite and immensely cute costume.

And yes I agree with Darknil, I would visit Home every day.

@Xe-cute

Saying it's all junk now isn't right and a bit short-sighted even. There are some amazing user created levels. Sure, there are a quite a lot of levels that are pure garbage too but it really pays off to look past those crappy ones. What strikes me is that a lot of people are complaining about the shitty levels. Why don't you make a level by yourself then? It's so easy to say it's shit.

Also they're not on the disc, they're added in a patch everyone needs to download. Then the 10k file unlocks them.

I'm not on about shitty levels, I'm on about the shitty mechanics which limit level creation and ideas.

The reason I don;t make any levels anymore was because Iw as sick of being limited in my creations.

The only limit is your own imagination.

@Takeshi
I agree. You could also make all these costumes before with just stickers. For Captain America's shield, you could just use the bottle cap object that already was red/blue/white and had a star on it.

Seriously you could make nearly any Marvel/comic book character. My Spawn looks perfect.

Looks like I'll be picking up another $50 PSN Card...

@ xe-cute

You want to see the limitations thrown out the window?? Just check out any of Takeshi's levels. You will come out enlightened and with a renewed sense of appreciation for LittleBigPlanet. Seriously.
