Prerelease:LittleBigPlanet (PlayStation 3)/Pre-GDC 2007 Builds, New Sackboy Model

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:LittleBigPlanet (PlayStation 3).

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

These builds were presumably before the first showing at GDC 2007. The footage from these builds mostly comes from trailers or early gameplay shown far after release.

• The Sackboy model in these builds looks more like the one in the final game, but still retains the bobbly head.
• Each of these builds takes place in a background that looks like cardboard hills. Probably due to lack of better textures.
• It is unknown if there are any other backgrounds in these builds.
• The level begins with a large sign saying "Start!" pointing down, with a wire behind it leading to who knows where.
• Almost everything in these builds looks as if it could be a model and not made out of materials, but this is unknown.
• The debug / level select screen is a pink screen with a sackboy in the corner. It is only seen in these builds and the files for it are not in the final game.
• It's interesting to note that some elements of this build are still in the game.

Gamecity 3 Sackboy Creation Demo

A video shown off later at Gamecity 3, detailing the creation of the new Sackboy model. The level itself is the same as the following build.

• You can see some buttons on a screen to the right, which could possibly be the LittleBigPlanet level editor.

LittleBigPlanet Community Meet

A build shown off at a LittleBigPlanet Community meet in 2011.

• The level starts out with a robotic creature named "BBQ Bot" in the files of the Deploy Build coming down and saying "Work together to finish the level. The player with the most sponge wins!".
• The level ends with a metal robot type monster which is seen in a lot of concept art. He plays an animation and says:

"WHAT'S THIS? Pesky little pip squeaks. I hope you aren't thinking of interfering with my plans.......... I'll be keeping my eye on you."

• The boss appears to be walking forward towards the end, but in the video the audience apparently finds grabbing a key more interesting, so what he did is unknown.

"New LittleBigPlanet Footage"

Video taken from GameTrailers. Dated April 2007. There isn't much to see.

• There are more than 4 sack people bobbing their heads around. It's likely that they are just bots for testing.

Media Molecule 10th anniversary livestream

Video taken from Media Molecule. Milestone builds are shown multiple times during this.

• Firstly, it shows "Flathead", a prototype of LittleBigPlanet that is even older than the Yellowhead prototype (timestamp: 11:34).
• Secondly, it shows a Milestone build (probably milestone 6 or 7) where Sackboy gets tortured in a level with steep elevation and lots of gears (timestamp: 16:24).
• Thirdly, the video shows create mode in a milestone build. It still runs at 720p but the framerate is higher. It looks similar to create mode in the video with the cyclops boss (timestamp: 19:22).
• Lastly, it shows a playthrough of a level from the GDC07 build (timestamp: 26:22).
