It's portable.  Would think that would be incentive enough.

Exactly. You're (Brapp347) seriously on board with having a pointlessly inferior console game so Sony can get another $300 from you?

---

It's not inferior, it's a different system for different people.  And actually I prefer handhelds over consoles.  Why does the ps3 version have to have anything that another lbp game has?  Why can't the vita have unique features?  Just because the ps3 version is on a console means that it's the ultimate version, which must have every feature that it's in every other lbp?  I don't think that's right. It IS the newest version of lbp, and should have new additions unique to it.  Otherwise it will lose it's feeling of being "lbp2.5" and just be an inferior version of it's console counterpart, if all the best vita features are transfered over.  Also, these new features were created with the minds of the guys over at tarsier studios, and it would be wrong for MM to just basically say "Thanks for the great ideas, we're gonna make dlc so we can make some money out of your ideas!" (and also make the vita version instantly inferior).  They're thinking of these great features to make THEIR game do better, not the one that's been out for more than a year.  They want THEIR game to have unique features, and I don't think tarsier will ever let MM use their new tools and features to grab more money.

Oh no, the Vita will most definitely have it's own tools that will never reach the PS3 version.  I'm pretty sold on LBP Vita because of the capability it as on the go.  I think some of these new features like text and the advanced corner editor should most definitely come to the PS3.  They would be a lot more compatible if they did have more of the same feature so then you can take your LBP2 creations on the go (minus the Vita exclusive features like touch). But that's just something I'd like.

I'm just disappointed LBP wasn't a release title for Vita.  I'm growning tired of MNR and HSG already.

What I've been really wondering and what would seal the deal for me is to know LBP for Vita has 3 layers.  Can anyone tell me if it does?

Yep, it definately has 3 layers in the gameplay videos. I still don't get my Vita til the 22nd, hopefully I won't get bored quick too! 

If anyone here is planning on getting the game, feel free to add me.  I could use some help on making levels!

[The5rozos]

I honestly hope we get a solid release date soon. Amazon says June, while Gamestop and wikipedia say March...

I guess I'll stay busy with demos seeming I'm not interested in any other games.

Now that's just silly.  It isn't their game.  They were given the rights to develop it for the vita, and they must pay MM/Sony for the privilege of being allowed to do so.

I fail to see the point of getting upset over other folks possibly getting the same features that you want to keep all to yourself.  Are you in need of a reason to feel special?  Again, incredibly silly, and incredibly selfish, if you ask me.  After all, not everyone can afford to invest $300+ to be able to play the new version. 

Plus, what do you care if the Vita version ends up sharing features?  If you prefer the handheld version, then you're going to play the handheld version.  It doesn't matter which version is "inferior."  You're still going to play the game that you enjoy.  No point in losing sleep over it.  Just enjoy the game, like the rest of us.

[Brapp347]

They still have a right to come up with new ideas and be creative with it.   And it's not right for MM to try to make money off of them and make the vita version obsolete.  This is not a matter of selfishness, I'm just trying to help tarsier.  Let me put it in a simpler way.  If the vita version has cool, unique tools, more people will play it, and more people will create.  If a dlc pack comes out, people will just say, why would I get the vita version when I can download the new features? How about you give them a freakin incentive to buy the game other than the fact that it's portable.  I just don't think you understand how wrong it would be use another companies' ideas, that they are trying to make money off of, and get money out of that.  Tarsier has NO reason to bring the features over unless MM paid them loads of money.  Lbp vita is tarsier's creation and they are trying to expand upon lbp2 to get people to buy the game.  Get it?  You think tarsier will just say "oh sure, go ahead and put some of our best creations as dlc, for YOUR game, that I will make my game suffer a bit more and not sell quite as well"  Now MM might try to make a knock-off of the memorizer, just because of all the potential it has.  But if they try to take more things from tarsier, PROBLEMS!

[Brapp347]

Just trust me on this.  The last thing tarsier wants to do is help out the ps3 version.  They are trying to make their game a slice of awesomeness, and they will seriously flip out if the tools they thought of is put into a different game.  I don't understand how this CAN'T sound wrong to you...  What the heck makes you think tarsier would want their features to be put into a different game?

[DarkDedede]

So you're telling me that Tarsier owns, and has sole rights to any ideas and game mechanics in this game?  Therefore, if MM or Sony tried to implement these ideas or mechanics in their own game, without Tarsier's concent, that legal action could be taken?

Are you serious??  Darkdede just told you they have to pay for the privileges from Mm/Sony!  They don't own the LBP franchise!  They are creating LBP2 on the VIta pretty much.  Not sure if you know this but Tarsier as help MM A LOT with DLC.  Why wouldn't they help?  I actually facepalmed with you said that.
