Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing

LittleBigPlanet Central have had some quality hands on time with the latest build of LittleBigPlanet at Comic-Con and have discovered a few new snippets of information that will no doubt interest anyone who has been following the game.

Character Customization:
- There is a Tron suit you can wear in the game, along with a killzone helmet and mask.
- Not only that, but there are about 25 different materials and designs that you can choose to have your sackboy made out of, including 3 types of camo.
- There are held items that you can choose from, such as a wooden sword and a magic wand (a stick with a star on the top). You can't use them as weapons, but when you slap while holding an item you hit them with said item.
Level Editor:
- For those of you that don't know, you can switch back and forth between flying and running around by pressing *down* on the d-pad.
- When everyone has a menu open, the menus auto-adjust to the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right corners to keep the screen clear.
- LBP comes with a nice 10 premade vehicles or so(I drove a lowrider!), but as with everything else you can edit them as you like.
- Logs burn. You can make a log, or anything out of wood, really, and set it on fire. We made a floor full of burning logs and then we drove a monster truck over them.
- There are triggers that you can place to have events happen right when you want them to. For example, you can make it so halfway through swinging on a rope across a gap, the rope snaps and you fall down to another area.
- Anything you can think of, you can make. Just be careful when making a Sonic level or a Mario level, because that won't fly on the servers. Name it something generic that wont warrant deletion.
- If you want to make carpet, you can. All you have to do is take a picture of some carpet, apply the sticker to something thin and soft(sponge, for example), and save the item.
- If you made a kickass vehicle, you can make that vehicle collectible through your level. For example, you could reward players who made it past a particularly difficult portion of your level with a buggy you made, which they could use at any time throughout making their levels. This applies to items, such as carpet, as well.
- The size of your crater on the moon corresponds directly with the amount of items you can place on a level. This way you can have a minigame taking up a small crater, while a full, hour long level would take up one of the largest craters.
Plus tons more after the jump.

Roll on October 22nd. I can't wait.
Wow, really can hardly wait for this game to release!
Oh, a price cut? Ok then (it's usually what everyone waits for).
