The video of the LittleBigPlanet portion of Sony’s press conference is up on GameTrailers (part one,part two).  Items of note:

• Saved sets of material/clothing/etc in the “My Costumes”section of the Pop-It.
• “The planet holds all of the levels:the user created levels,as well as the developer levels on the Blu-Ray.”
• The man who comes on stage and plays with them appears to be Elton from SevenGames TV.  Here they are interviewing some LittleBigPlanet players on the show floor.
• Pasting your face on the blank mask successfully takes a little coordination.
• The level shown is within “The Temples”section,and is called “The Dancers’Court”by “The Great Magician”.  It is “quite far through the game”,and is at a point in the story where we’re looking for the Magician and go to the storekeeper. (I think.  Somewhat hard to hear.)
• Trophies earned:  Forager,Sticky Fingers,Treasure Hunter,  Booty Master,and 2X Multiplier!  The first four might just be for picking up a certain amount of bubbles or collectables.  Multipliers seem to be given for picking up bubbles in quick succession.
• The Sackboy Lion’s eyes glow in the dark..?
• The hanging carpets blowing in the wind look great,but do they impede Sackboy’s progress or are they just decoration?
• Danny and Pete are far more tolerant than I would have been.

But what’s a conference without new trailers being released?  First we get the Sackzilla trailer:

We can pause the early parts of the video to see the Sackzilla construction:  pre-shaped cardboard parts saved in the Pop-It,stiff rods for the feet,pistons for the arms,a button on the head tied to the two wheels–Oh,and some creepy autonomous eyes.  Painting whole pieces seems fairly easy.

Now for the music:  Was the song just written this way,or is this an example of the customizable music?  The percussion section starts out alone,with other instruments (and vocals) coming in at various points;I wouldn’t be surprised one way or the other.  Or has anyone heard this song before?

Next we get the somewhat familiar falling-through-gaps minigame.  Whoever’s playing this is fairly skilled;it’s harder than it looks.

Finally,we have another play-through of part of the construction yard level:

If Comic-Con was any indication,we’ll get loads of videos of people playing at the booth in the next few days,so stay tuned!
