If you don't already know, LittleBigPlanet is all about PLAY, CREATE & SHARE. This means PLAYING levels together, learning to use the in-game tools to CREATE new challenges & activities and then SHARING them with others by posting their levels online on the PLAYSTATION Network. And because we know our fans are a creative bunch, and we can't wait to see the hundreds / thousands (hopefully millions) of user generated 'things' online.

KNiVES · 27 Jul 2008 at 14:19

Is the October release date set in stone?

It got delayed.

TurnipHead · 27 Jul 2008 at 14:38

I highly doubt it's October. I really want it to be, but I can't see them doing it.

If the release date has been confirmed by anyone else other than a big book that was released yesterday. I'd like to see.

Marky · 27 Jul 2008 at 14:40

I reckon it'll be delayed again until Christmas this year...
Looks like an interesting game

msmalls74 · 27 Jul 2008 at 15:03

Nope its supposed to be October this year, dates from the 3rd of October till the 27th have been mentioned by other sources. I wont mention how great this game will be as we're not allowed to hype this game

Nitefly · 27 Jul 2008 at 15:09

I don't really see the appeal of this game. Can someone enlighten me?

Booner! · 27 Jul 2008 at 15:27

Being a 360 owner and sharing very little time with games these days... I have been very oblivious to this game as it really didn't sound like my kinda thing.

I then watched the 4 player co-op trailer.....wow... it looks different, unique and fun! I am not sure that I will buy a PS3 for it, but it could tip me over the edge.

Worth a look imo.

Watch the videos with the developer explaining the game, if you don't like it then I can't change that

Personally I think it's the most original concept for a game I've seen this generation for consoles. The only other game I can think of which is similar in terms of sharing user created content is Spore.

I know what it's about, but I'm not seeing the reasoning behind the hype either.

I'd love to know why people think this will be such a big game, rather than just saying it will be. Does nobody else think the editor and shared content will just get forgotten about after it's been out a while, like most other games where you can share stuff?

Go have a look at the fantastic contraption thread, then think of all the levels those kind of people will be making

Old school platforming, with an unlimited amount of totally different levels

Admit it it's what you dreamed of when you were playing those games years ago. :cool:

2D platformers are hard to come by these days, especially ones that are challenging and fun. With a game where I can create any level I want, customize the music in it, the way it looks, the level of difficulty is totally unique and cool.

Even if I don't want to create anything and just sit down and play a few levels of good platforming fun, I can. All I can suggest to people who don't think the game is interesting is to watch the videos of the developers showing off the game and what you can do in it. If you don't like it, then fine

Nitefly · 27 Jul 2008 at 15:40

My only problem is that people may spend lots of time creating levels which are insanely difficult and can only be completed in one way. Creating levels which are fiendish will be very fun. Playing them.... well...

Well, the way the content is managed is similar to youtube. In that everyone votes on whether they like the level or not. It's also categorized by tags, so if you just wanted to play some fun easy levels then you could type in fun or easy and you would get a bunch of levels like that. If you wanted something challenging, type in difficult, and so on.

I see! Sounds interesting, I await some reviews. Even then, it will have to be reviewed again when a community is up and running!

Nope sorry, I've already seen all that has so far been revealed. Still don't see the justification in the massive hype, although I'm sure it will be a polished, fun game - just not what some people are making it out to be.

This is why I've been banging on about this game for ages. I don't think people know enough about it yet. When you look at it at first it just looks like a cute platformer where you can create things. However the level of depth in it looks crazy.

McManicMan · 27 Jul 2008 at 15:54

so people think that people will get bored sharing and creating levels, somehow i don't think so, take Halo's 3 Forge for instance, thousands of user generated material and thats only with fixed and limited objects. Take a look at how thats been accepted and even how people have created unique levels by using hacks on the boxes and stuff to bypass limitations then compare against LBP where the creators give you the whole toolset and the ability to create virtually "anything" and i'm sure this game will be massive for the PS3 community.
