BECAUSE IT WILL BE AMAZING!!!

Creating your own levels, playing other peoples levels. Apparently there is a story mode. The physics looks amazing. The art style is the best ever. The sack boys are so damn cute!

the game does look amazing. story mode, huh that could be the deal breaker for me.

LBP reminds me of Stunts back in the early 90s (fav racing game at the time next to 1989 dos game indy 500), where you build crazy tracks for you friends to try out and laugh as they crash in the most insane ways. this kind of content creation and sharing is what people are excited about with LBP (although it isn't a racing game, its a platformer).

 

Although the idea of people sharing user content is awesome, I'm also worried about it. immature minds with the ability to import photos (which I believe you can with LBP) is most likely going to result in some content being rather tacky.

 

we'll see, if all goes well it could be a very interesting and fun game, esp at parties :)

I haven't quite got it neither. It looks really interesting but I question whether it will sell well. To me, it could be another Viva Pinata. Great game, great concepts, but many people may not relate.

I disagree. They make me feel disturbed and wanting to stick needles in them. I have not seen any sort of physics on the trailers at all.

 the reason VP failed on xbox was not because of  the game itself, the game is great, but with absolutely 0 hype and xbox's mininal casual market, it just didn't sell.

 

but LBP is different, with easy to make courses, I personally will go online weekly to download new tracks made by other  people. I hope they have "Most popluar" list of new maps, Man, it'd be great.

Don't worry. Sony will have dedicated mods to delete any inappropriate content.

Yes, I'll agree there are many actual differences, but I'm not sure the result won't be the same. 

 Personally, I'm very interested, but don't really know how much I'd play it.  A lot like I felt about Viva Pinata...  I ended up playing many hours of it and enjoying it.  I hope it is the same for LBP.

It's actually pretty simple phenomena.

It has realistic graphics and physics, but doesn't use them to make something hyper gritty and mature. It uses these graphics to create realistic materials and movements, but uses those materials to create simple whimsical characters and settings that rather than being complex and detailed, are simple and emotive.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
