Moving on from a debut trailer, which is meant to show off what has been made and not what's final, we move to Gamescom. If you didn't already know, every LBP game has its own Create Trailer, this is usually where more on the logic side is revealed, and also where people like me scramble around to dig up every tidbit left in.
I'm Alice and Trailers are my Rabbit Hole...
I'm Alice and Trailers are my Rabbit Hole...
The Analysis

Interpretation
- 2&3 I honestly thought those were used materials, but despite looking so familiar, they weren't
- The Gondola Pole obviously came from Bunkum Lagoon
- 6 This Pop-It gives us insight on some upcoming DLC, like a FIFA/World Cup one
- 14 suggests that at one point, instead of separate Pod Backgrounds, they would be in the normal background (allowing for choices on backgrounds we couldn't use before)
- 17 Suggests that the PS4 version came first and when PS3's was started, there was less PS exclusive content
- 22 I. Want. That. It became a meme and we never got it. HOW? We get a Fix Me Hook Hat but no Fried Chicken decoration?!
- 24 At one point, all decorations may have been Colour-Tweakable by way of Decoration Mount. Think of all the possiblities
