That LittleBigPlanet 2 is one of the most exclusive games that is programmed for the PlayStation 3, is undeniable. Some of us are not impressed because the innovations they are too small but with this post, we can hardly prove the contrary. A few days ago, "LittleBigPlanetCentral" in collaboration with Media Molecule and Sony put online an impressive list of innovations which we all can see.

Main innovations

• Objects can be hidden so you have other things which lie behind it, without too many problems adapting.
  
• A preview mode so you can see the whole picture, the level where you already see the end result.
  
• You may have multiple things at once, similar to the 'Ctrl' key on the computer.
  
• Compounds, such as ropes, to the tight places automatically.
  
• You should not stick to a corner to keep playing LittleBigPlanet, now you can also "vertical play.
  
• Updates to the 'Popit':
  

- Full Screen Mode
- Categories may have beaten so you can find various items quickly.
- There is a category where you can see the stickers and materials you have already used in your level.

• New tools to a level to do:
  

- UV tool allows you the texture of a material can rotate and move.
- Advanced glue "allows you to select two items of your own to bonding instead of all objects adjacent to the corresponding object.

• Support for mouse and keyboard.

• Visual improvements such as the effects of light, fire, smoke and such. In addition, the game sharper and more detailed view.
  
• The multiplayer mode will include competition from new methods of scoring points.

Innovations in switches

• Connecting Threads of switches now come from the center of the switch rather than from the side.
  
• You can already switch was connected to reconnect to another object. The old connection is then replaced by the new.
  
• You can zoom your camera while you're inserting a wire.
  
• Magnetic keys and switches are now a label and a color. If the label and the color of the key does not match the switch, it will not work.
  
• Magnetic keys can be turned on and off by means of another switch
  
• Magnetic switches and remote switches can be set that they only work when a number Sackpersonages in the vicinity. For example, a switch only works when three Sackpersonages present.
  
• Magnetic switches can be limited to one of the three layers in one level.
  
• Jumpers are less "ugly" and are better hidden, making complex arrangements with multiple threads will be orderly.
  
• The signal depends on the distance and not the source, this allows for multiple signal types in one unit come. A magnetic switch may thus determine whether a wheel speed of LEDs or similar switching.
  

Innovations in emitters

• Emitters can now emit an interval of 0.0 seconds. So they sold off immediately if there is space.
  
• An optional adjustment is that you can do to stop the ejector where it has reached its limit.
  
• An emitter speed of the ejected cases ignore the order and continues to emit only takes into account the emitted object.
  
• The ejected things can disappear and appear in several ways:
  

- It can explode without causing damage.
- It may just disappear and appear.
- It can solve as the original LittleBigPlanet.
- It can grow or shrink.

• You can link an object to emitters in the level instead of an object from your 'Popit':
  All changes in the level of an object will also be introduced to the emitters if they emit object. It is also linked to each other emitters, so emitters in emitters in emitters will all get that change. After adjusting of the object, the emitter emits its latest version.

Movers
How the Dutch name will be is still unknown but in the meantime we use the English name. As the name suggests, this tool merely the movement of objects. There are two types, linear and rotary 'movers'. The idea of 'movers' with the settings for the gravitational force is the creation of flying objects, flying an airplane and became really can. In addition, you now can accelerate and similar vehicles. The rotation will again come in handy for games where you have to focus, shooting games, for instance.

The community system will be a completely revamped. The tagging system will be improved so that now no more levels will get completely beside the issue. The makers will include tags themselves can give to their levels, these tags will also weigh more than by the tags of that players.

Levels Players can now also reviewed with a new system. The other players after posting the review to decide whether it actually was useful. There will also be implanted as a system 'Hot or Not'. Another innovation is a kind of twitter-like feed that each player gets, which shows what level he has been assessed. This system is in the hearts of players are popular, so you take advantage of a player's hearts so that you are "good taste" can follow. The latest innovation that Media Molecule was that they gave to a "seal of approval 'can indicate levels. In addition, they hope more involved with their new moderator system.

In our view this is undoubtedly a fantastic game. First we had our doubts that LittleBigPlanet 2 or disruptive innovations would contain. These are our doubts completely wiped off and replaced by the desire for the game.

Although I think this new release of Little Big Planet 2 will be awesome, I do not think I will be getting it. Just for the reasons that I got bored and beat the first one too quickly.
