Differences from the final game:

  • 'Edit Mode' box in top-left. It's unknown what the meters mean specifically, but it can be assumed that they functioned similarly to the thermometer in this build.
  • Ice Hazard. Removed from the final game due to network issues (it didn't work online and it loaded every time it was activated).
  • Different pause menu.
  • In Edit Mode, you could not take damage. The final game removes this.

Promotional Gif Images#

Some promotional animated GIFs of game footage that were used to advertise the game; the original source of these isn't available online anymore.

  • The first one features an early version of the boss battle with Sheriff Zapata from the mines.
  • The second one features a level from the removed English Seaside theme. The jetpack is used as a way of simulating the effect of being underwater. Unlike the normal jetpack, it doesn't appear to have a tether, and is likely the "Water Jetpack" referred to in LBP1's files.

Killzone Trailer#

A trailer shown for the game that shows off the Helghast costume. Most of the footage shown in this trailer is from different builds.

  • A version of the pod from an earlier build than the rest of the footage can be seen.
  • An early version of choosing Popit colors can be seen, which has more colors to choose from than the final and allows for choosing different colors for each part of the Popit (Background, Outline, Highlights).
  • This build's version of paint can be seen, which uses colored circles as placeholder icons.
  • An early design for the game's music boxes can be seen, which was originally a boombox.
  • Pod UI for this build can be seen, which uses the unused medals present in the final game for when levels are completed, as well as displaying a star for some kind of achievement (Aceing or Goodies). The Seaside theme's location on the Earth can also be seen here.
  • Some footage of levels from the Seaside theme can be briefly seen.
  • An early level from the Wedding can be seen, which is rarely seen in pre-release footage.
