DLC = Downloadable Content

LBP is a game where you create, share, and play other people's levels. All through a YouTube-like service through PSN. It's physics-driven as well.

You get 50+ levels on disc where you play through a story, and then you can create levels and share them online from within the game.

Here's a developer (Well... producer. Kyle is the US producer for the game) walkthrough (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39506.html), you can also look through more of the videos on GameTrailers.

hmmm looks like a kiddie game

The art style may not be mature to the same level of a shooter. I don't think kids will be able to create levels that are deep and fun to play without design flaws.

You can make it whatever you want. You can make a level based on Super Mario levels, Killzone levels, Halo, etc.

They have Helghast (Killzone antagonists) costumes in the game.


The story is "kiddy" though. It plays out like a children's novel with the narration.

I have been wanting to try something new.

this is one of the only games that PS3 has that i really wished were coming to the 360, looks like a blast to play

[womfalcs3]

Anybody here in the beta?

20,000 people in NA, Japan, and Europe (20,000 per) are receiving codes. I'm not one of them, but I have gotten my hands on the beta because I know a member of the press who has it.

The negative is I gotta use his account... and he often has his PS3 on.

if/when i get a ps3, i'm sure i'll get this game....might not turn out to be the best game ever, but it sure looks "different" (which will probably make it great, truth be told).

[Spurred]

i'm gonna buy it

[notoriety]

This game is going to be one of the sole reasons that a lot of ppl make the move over to the ps3. It looks pretty cool.

this game does look pretty cool and again, if/when i get a ps3 i'm definitely grabbing a copy, but i just can't see this as being a console maker. it's going to sell well, IMO, but i don't see a mass exodus towards the ps3 just because of this game.


<ducks to avoid incoming fire>

It will be.

In Europe, LittleBigPlanet shops are opening up, the rush for beta codes is crashing websites (Eurogamer.net went down for a while), and Sony will heavily push this game on TV.

This is a game that appeals to everybody.

Sony will market Resistance 2 too coming November 4th, but LBP will see a huge marketing campaign. Thr advertisements will start soon.

Have you seen the LittleBigBillboards?

[diehardgamecock]

forgive me if i wait and see if this is, indeed, the bestest game in the ultraverse before i agree that it's a console maker.


i'm sure it's gonna be a very fun game though.

I'm just going by from what I've heard from 360 owners themselves. A lot of ppl I know personally that have a 360 only are thinking of grabbing a ps3 mostly for this game. It's just one of those games that really appeals to everyone and I'm happy for sony. They finally have a game that can really help market the ps3 and because it isn't a shooter game they aren't alienating a lot of potential customers.

hopefully it will work out for them (sony). competition is a good thing for everybody (microsoft/sony).

This. People always underestimate the value of competition on the market. Without competition, you'd probably still see the PS3 sitting at an insane price and Microsoft probably wouldn't give a damn about actually curing the RROD. It's part of what makes our economy run.

I'm in the beta. It's a pretty cool game, very fun, and I encourage everyone to give it a try if you have a PS3.

Would I buy a PS3 for this game? Probably not...

I'm not sold on it being a guaranteed success, or even a system seller. It certainly has the potential to be both, as it is a great idea and it is executed very well. But i can easily see this turning into a great game that lots of people dismiss as "too kiddy" like Viva Pinata.

But here's hoping it sells well. I'm buying it.

good post.

[womfalcs3]

Just played through the X360 RROD level. Pretty funny, but it's a very stupid and shallow level. The WipEout level is awesome.

"wipeout" like the old ps1 game?

[womfalcs3]

"wipeout" like the old ps1 game?

Yes.

In fact, WipEout HD was just released on the PlayStation Store Thursday (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39814.html). So I'm guessing they made it due to the recent release.

Online play, offline multiplayer, single-player, trophies, custom soundtracks, and 1080p @ 60 frames/sec play.

yeah, i knew that they released a new wipeout. i was never a fan of the original, but it's pretty cool that they made a LBP level out of it.
