Media Molecule's response to some people not liking the floaty jumping

 

Eurogamer: Where do you stand in the Mario-jump debate?

 

David Smith: The simple answer is that it's just very different to Mario. It's very awkward even comparing it to Mario. Some people really want that jump that's faster or more controlled, but it doesn't as easily fit the freeform physical environment of LittleBigPlanet.

 

We've tried lots of different control methods with different levels of arcadiness, different levels of physicality, and we went for one we felt works best. But it was definitely a shock for some of our players that are really used to Mario, switching from that to LittleBigPlanet. It's something that we feel just works better with LittleBigPlanet. We've taken on board some of the criticism and tried to tighten up a few points, but there's only so far we'd want to change it before it stopped being the sort of game we wanted to make.

 

Also, one interesting little feature we added, and I'm not sure it's been picked up, is a gravity tweak that allows you to alter the gravity of a level. Sneakily, we've made it so that if you make the gravity a lot stronger, Sackboy is able to still jump to the same height – he becomes a lot stronger to compensate. In effect you can have a much faster, crisper jump. It's still quite physical, there's still inertia there, but we've made it so that if you increase the gravity it becomes a bit faster and more twitchy, which I think some players prefer.

 

We have a certain style that we prefer, but ultimately it would be a bit arrogant if we tried to enforce that too much. So we've tried to empower the community to resolve that debate to some degree. The community will find exploits to do things the way they want, so we may as well try and support them doing it.

i think there is some prob with the servers.... nywys now its working... searched google and a lot of people are having the same problem...

 

Suffering the same fate as a lot of players around the world. Turning the controller off kind of works for a sometime but not for a long game, so I am sticking with the single player community levels for the time being.
