That’s why they have a team just for evaluating and testing levels so people don’t abuse the game with dirty ideas.

It isn't something a user would make.

I can remember in an interview a while ago, with one of the game's developers, that it will be possible with the in-game creation tools to replicate every object and asset in the main levels.

The elephant thing appeared to have a number of relatively simple swivel points that were used to brilliant effect.

The movement tools have been shown in the past and I'm sure that when a few are put together with differently shaped blocks or other objects then some really cool things can be made. Hopefully there will be quite a number of ways to program the tools to move things in different ways (probably not intelligently, but hopefully you get my gist)

Also they might be able to provide updates, after release, to add more tools for a greater level of customisation, depending on what the community wants.

It may be that new tools, objects, materials and textures will be made available for individual download, rather than a full update.
This could be delivered through the playstation store or directly in the game.

Lets hope its just free!

(EDIT) I just watched the video again and the guy in it said that "anything you see in the game you can make".

Super elephant here I come!

You don't have the tools to make all the pieces of the elephant. If they already have pieces in place, with some time you could make it. If there are no pieces, you won't be able to make it.

In the case of the elephant (what I was replying to) he said that you can unlock the elephant by beating the level in a certain amount of time.

I'm pretty sure the "whatever you see in the game you can make" comment was in regards to overall level design, not individual components of those levels.

It's been said multiple times that whatever you see you can make, and whatever you imagine you can make. It's pretty limitless in possibility. Besides, having seen all of the creation options, how would you think you couldn't make something as simple as that?

There was a video a couple of months ago showing players building a simplified robot with moving arms and everything. There's also video of players making a tank.

He's joking. Everyone can see how GARBAGE those Rare games look compared to this innovative GOTY competitor.

You're an absolute JOKE.

This game is such more creative than Viva Pinata or Banjo Kazooie.
For one thing, neither of those games is even a true platformer anymore. Viva Pinata never was, it's more like a gardening simulator, and Banjo Kazooie was a platformer series on the N64, but now the whole thing is vehicle-based. 80% of the game takes place in vehicles, according to Rare. That's not a real platformer, it's something else entirely.

I didn't like Viva Pinata (the first), but I do like the Banjo series, but I'm not very interested in the new one because it changes the formula completely. It's not a real Banjo game. It could be fun if you go into it with an open mind but it's really a completely different kind of game than LittleBigPlanet, and it's nowhere NEAR as customizable.

Did you even watch the same video that I just watched?

This game looks amazing! Gorgeous & clean graphics, intense cuteness, fun platforming gameplay, innovative support for online sharing of content and the camera and everything, complete customizability of all your characters, you can create complex machines and you can texturize as you wish, you can build all your own levels as you wish, and it's set up so that the more you play the game, the more stuff you unlock to be able to use in your own creations. And the user-created stuff can be programmed in your levels so that if someone downloads your level and gets a good score on it, they can unlock some of your complex creations and machines for easy use in their own levels.

It's really quite something.

This is definitely shaping up to be more of a game of the year contender than I'd ever thought it could be before.
