New LBP costume items spied in game save: Bumblebee costume inbound

Feb 17th 2009 - 9:21 AM

PSN user brnxblze recently sent his save file in to Media Molecule to help fix the game saving bug. Well, it got sent back to him, and when it did, it had some hidden extras!

Pretty much all the costume items ever were in his pop-it! Although many were locked, as brnxblze had not purchased them and didn’t own them, the items were visible in his pop-it anyway. So, the LBP Crown, Toro, Ape Escape, Space Suit - all there.

Thrown in to the mix however are costumes which are not yet released, like the Wipeout costumes which are due for release this week, the Sepiroth costume from Final Fantasy VII and a new ‘Design a Sackboy’ competition winner, the Bumblebee.

All the ‘competition winner’ items to date have been free, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the Bumblebee costume is out this week alongside the paid-for Wipeout costumes. When is the Sepiroth costume out? We can only presume ‘very soon’. There is no sign of the Killzone 2 costumes, which was hinted at having a February 27th release date, so perhaps Sepiroth will be out before then? If that were the case, then it’d leave just this week… Anyway, enough speculation, here are the pics!

brnxblze doesn’t own these items, so he can’t use them.

We look forward to hearing about the PSN Store update later this week.

Thanks to brnxblze for sending this in and sharing his find!

Awesome… I dont know how these people spot these things!

Anchor

WOW BUMBBLE BEEE! thats cool when are these up for grabs ? smile

Anchor

Once again, MM screws up, making us see everything.
But I don’t mind!

Anchor

Sometime Soon i think When wipeout costumes are released probaly

Anchor

This costume craze is okay. I’ve bought all the costumes packs. The Sephirot one looks way cool but a lot of people will be very disappointed if no FF7 level packs ever show up. :( I will. I’ll purchase it anyway. The Wipeout pack is the first LBP extra content I will skip. Doesn’t look too good. Feels too off topic. In the same category, the LocoRoco costume pack looks much better. Good news about the Bumble bee. I’ll buy the Hellgast. to combine it with a cape,  the space suit body and some black paint = a decent Darth Vader! :D

Anchor

how do they get these photos ? ? ?

Anchor

I’m always for new costumes. smile  Too bad the bumblebee one doesn’t come with a little stinger.

Anchor

@STAR_live His save was broken so he sent it to Mm and they fixed it… but they put these things on it presumably by accident… and he took the pics

Anchor

OOH lol sound abit wierd though…

Anchor

People asking about the date: read the article wink

The only costumes that have been officially confirmed are the Wipeout costumes, which are out on Thursday.

We can guess that the free Bumblebee one will arrive at the same time and possibly the Sepiroth one too - it’s more likely that they are released.

There will be an official update tomorrow with the ‘Sack it to me’ post smile

Anchor

awsome i have the same problem but it just dosent save the created levels i played so no big deal

Anchor

In the first screenshot (one detailing Sephiroth coat), you can also spot the funky prototype sack boy.  It has a yellow rectangular head and purple body.  That’d be sweet to get that costume too!

Anchor

JeFE:

Try acing The Collector wink

Anchor

@Dan:

Holy Moly! that’s insane!  Thanks Dan smile

Anchor

Damn theres two nicks =O Well im Nick Colley… lol

Anchor

So in the photo that shows the tails, I can’t make out a stinger for the bee costume. Wonder if there will be one.

Anchor

This is not as important as the costumes but I found the stickers that will be coming out with the Wipeout pack.

Anchor

thanks for mentioning my PSN by the way!

Anchor

cool! Wipeout stickers!!!

Anchor

I love Wipeout.. although i wont be buying the pack… I think Wipeout HD is stunning

Anchor

I WANT HELGHAST!!!

Anchor

wow he has the crown as well this guy is well lucky

Anchor

Wouldn’t it be cool if a stage’s overall gravity could be changed? Or what about adding water to the materials?

Anchor

@brnxblaze, thanks for sharing your info with all the community!

I don’t think MM will miss the chance to upload their Helghast costume at the same day the game is released, so even if it is not in brnxblaze’s popit, I’m almost sure they will upload it.

But for the Sephiroth costume, I’m not sure they’ll release it that soon, maybe they already had it in their games cause they in fact had it done before the game was released, like the Snake one. So I’m not sure that this means it will be released in the following weeks…

About the WipeOut packs…I don’t really like them, and neither the stickers…

Anchor

will they make a ff level pack that would be freekin awsome

Anchor

This is sweet! I hope they release the SEPIROTH costume as well but the bumble bee and wipeout(pack?) will suit me just fine!

But I really want the Sepiroth costume too! and maybe a final fantasy pack!

Anchor

Posted this information weeks ago

http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=b_EN_GAMES_general_lbp&thread.id=43255

I thought you guys all looked on the playstation uk forums

Anchor

Anchor

sorry people. No seprioth or bumblebee this week. But if not this week then when? When FFXIII comes out? i hope not. when will the bumblebee be out? Spring? That makes sense! Let the speculation begin!!

Anchor

Anchor
