Watch Sackboy Snake face off against Metal Gear Rex

by Jem Alexander { Dec 22nd 2008 at 4:15PM }

If you're anything like us then you're counting down the hours to the release of the Metal Gear Solid LittleBigPlanet downloadable content, which arrives tomorrow. The gameplay video you're about to watch (which is after the break) will either tide you over until the expansion's release, or have you chomping even more furiously at the bit. It shows a Solid Snake Sackboy facing off against Metal Gear Rex. Thankfully, it looks as much fun as we'd have hoped. Just fewer than twenty-four hours to go ...

PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:25PM

Tomorrow cant get here soon enough.........

NukeAssault @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:15PM

Sure it can! All you have to do is fall asleep. =D

Devin @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:58PM

But that's the hardest part!

Mo @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:27PM

I was wondering what was taking so long for this to get up here.. Ive been staring at the new trophies in the trophy list all night and yes counting the hours.

wanna play lbp?
add me psn: moyayo

lee @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:10PM

haha yes classic 'escape' music and everything

Pumapayam @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:34PM

Must resist. . . LOL. A definite purchase, but only after I finish the original LBP game. I already have 3 other games that I have not finished, and adding more to this will only add more to the "to do" list.

Excited to get this though.

Tim Parsons @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:09PM

lol ya know the feeling. I got Fallout3 on launch and still havent played it yet. Took a break from LBP long enough to play PoP and R2, then went and got SoldnerX & WipeoutHD and now LBP comes out with new stufff ,. damn

Tez @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:35PM

They better let you use that MGS remix in your own levels.

Tim Parsons @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:41PM

Publishing a level with the Paintgun earns you a trophy. If you have LBP already just go look in your trophy collection the trophies are already there.

Tez @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:44PM

Okay. What's that have to do with my comment?

Mo @ Dec 22nd 2008 6:32PM

lulz @ your irrelevance

PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Dec 22nd 2008 6:33PM

the music and everything else in the expansion should be able for use in creation mode.......thats what he is saying

Fausk @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:46PM

Clever, seems the whole plot revolves around Liquid trying to flood LittleBigPlanet with Trophy Levels... That's just awesome. I love when developers use stuff that happened in the game when they released it online and make fun of the stupid aspects of it.

And in response to Tez: They will... they said there's 3 songs and 1 interactive song in the level pack.

j.howlett @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:49PM

i'm ready to drop some cash. can't wait to try the paint gun

Jerses @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:29PM

i just hope the paintgun is not an accesory but an item like que jetpack. So that everyone thats not willing to pay for it can play with it.

Does the paintgun only shots upward?

cant wait for this to come out. I will be the first one to put MSG4 Paintgun level so i can get visits in my level.

slycooper_rocker [anti-panda death murder squadron force five] @ Dec 23rd 2008 3:17AM

@ jerses

people without the pack can still use the paint gun. you use the right stick to aim.

Rokelo @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:50PM

Meryl still looks hot as a sackgirl.

*fap* *fap* *fap*

NukeAssault @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:20PM

Good god man! Get a hold of yourself!

....*fap*

dbyzforce @ Dec 22nd 2008 9:50PM

*fap* = I do not what that is but must be something inappropriate to LBP...

Peter @ Dec 23rd 2008 10:26AM

It's a very manly thing.

Tim Parsons @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:51PM

but after just getting SoldnerX & WipreoutHD this week my PSN account is dry till end of next week ~cries~

Dmacleod14 @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:10PM

i couldve sworn i remember Media Molecule saying something about them never adding weapons to the game.. maybe im mistaken. either way im buying this once i get the game for xmas.

John S @ Dec 22nd 2008 6:08PM

Yeahh, I remember reading about that too. Strange how soon contradicted that.

dave @ Dec 22nd 2008 7:58PM

Well, to their benefit, a paint gun is a fun kind of weapon. Broken promises are fine, as long as everyone benefits. We all certainly benefit from this.

I wasn't going to buy this LBP DLC when I first heard of it. I'm not much of a MGS fan. Now that I know all the extra features it adds, I think I'm going to get it.

slycooper_rocker [anti-panda death murder squadron force five] @ Dec 22nd 2008 4:59PM

that was epic. i wish there was an actual liquid instead of ocelot though. oh well. rex looks so awesome! and the paint gun and the laser balls alone make the pack worth it.

linebeginstoblur @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:08PM

When I first heard about this, I was like, okay, well..
Then I heard about trophies, and I started to listen more.
Then I saw the trailer and I got excited.

Now I see this and I have decided that I can't wait until Christmas, even though I know I'm getting a PSN card then. It just looks like so much fun!

DantesApprentice @ Dec 23rd 2008 9:27PM

By the way, can you use the PSN cards without having to use a credit card? I just don't want it to be like iTunes.

linebeginstoblur @ Dec 23rd 2008 9:31PM

To be honest, I'm really not sure. I use a credit card and Christmas this year will be my first experience with PSN cards. If I had to guess though, and don't quote me on this, but theoretically, you shouldn't need a credit card.

On the store, you don't pay directly with a credit card, you pay with what's in your "wallet". So if you don't have enough in your wallet, what you do is pay with your credit card for the amount you need to your wallet, then use that to pay for the items. So you should be able to just use the PSN cards to fill up your wallet without the need for a credit card. Hope this helps.

helghast102 @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:18PM

shame i cant buy it thanks to my PSN suspension >.>, anyone know when the ban will be lifted? i got it today :(

Mo @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:24PM

damn, what did you get suspended for?

AltCtrlPwn @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:35PM

harassing "women" on Home eh?

i kid, i kid.

Jerses @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:36PM

He is the guy that made the level with little willis that spit from the head and then a rocket that also spit from the head.

helghast102 @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:57PM

Im sure i got it for something i did in home, right after i bought the business suit and santa outfit (full)
casually spreading xmas cheer xD
or maybe it had something to do with me telling people not to go near the Home gates (EU) or they will be banned for glitching xD that was hilarious (wasnt doing it on my own btw, my friend who i was doing it with is still online)

prodigy_69 @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:30PM

can't wait for this!! :D

while we wait you can play my "littlebig chrimbo town" level ;)

ice~ @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:39PM

Looks like im not buying wipeout HD now.....oh well how much is this pack cause i have $20 on my account and i want a psn game :D

AltCtrlPwn @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:58PM

i dunno man, Wipeout HD is freaking awesome. i was never into the series at all before this, but i decided to give it a try . . . totally worth the $20.

ice~ @ Dec 22nd 2008 7:06PM

Lmfao i can't buy wipeout anyway...i'm so mad.

I went out and bought a $20 psn card unaware that they charge tax on the PSN, then i cracked it open went to DL Wipeout HD and it was $21.75...i was so mad, until I saw the LBP MGS pack, now i'll buy Pixel Junk Monsters or Eden maybe, or maybe even Super Stardust HD

slycooper_rocker [anti-panda death murder squadron force five] @ Dec 23rd 2008 3:21AM

they should change the $20 cards to $25. that would solve a lot of problems. the jump from $20 to $50 is way too steep.

phil1017 @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:54PM

Very...Wicked...Cool! Its look fun! im in!

ultramega @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:48PM

That is so cool.

Game_playa @ Dec 22nd 2008 6:11PM

nICE

tiamat5 @ Dec 22nd 2008 6:23PM

Does that mean that we will be able to use energy balls, missiles and laser beams in our levels too?

Dale Thornton @ Dec 22nd 2008 7:36PM

Why does it sound so damn good to hear the mgs music on little big?
p.s. best music ever, lol

ElectroGirl @ Dec 22nd 2008 7:55PM

I thought they weren't going to have "weapons"?

The new materials to earn and build with should be fun: more options for me to not know what to use them for.

iBirch @ Dec 23rd 2008 12:15AM

Looks ace! Think I might be getting this.

Le Diable Blanc @ Dec 23rd 2008 1:04AM

I dont understand this. If i want to play metal gear, ill play metal gear. From the looks of it, it resembles more a 2d scrolling shooter with a Snake skin.
Really, im guessing there wont be any actually decent game made with that dlc.

slycooper_rocker [anti-panda death murder squadron force five] @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:26AM

it's not supposed to be metal gear. it's just some costumes and metal gear themed things for littlebigplanet. and i could see a lot of great things made with it. like i said before, the paint gun and laser balls would be a great addition to the game. its just for metal gear fans who are playing lbp. got it?
