LittleBigPlanet to Embarrass Xbox Live ?

[S.T.A.G.E.]

Gameplayer has spent two days with LittleBigPlanet and its Senior Product Manager, Nick Robinson, gaining plenty of insight into what gamers can expect. It includes a look at why the game would not work on Xbox 360, and goes on to suggest that its success may force Microsoft's hand regarding their policy on user-generated content.

"We broached the subject of the Xbox 360 with Nick and whether LittleBigPlanet could function as desired on the format: the answer was a disappointed shake of the head. Echoing thoughts we heard from Epic Games Mark Rein last year regarding the issues they faced with wanting mods available for the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament III (which subsequently resulted in a delay), and the frustration shown more recently by the developers of N+, Microsoft's Draconian – and frequently hypocritical (seems to be ok in Halo 3 and Forza 2) – restrictions on user-generated content is proving to the be Live's Achilles' Heel."

They sure have high hopes for LBP.

You do know that N4G is a biased website, right? They are pro Sony. Little Big Planet will not put a scratch on Live, because live is the 360's online community. PSN would have to do that....and they are failing miserably. This is the reason why they decided to create home...so that they can beat live. They are going about it the wrong way....because live doesn't need people walking around from place to place for like a second life or sims to find your downloads, meet up with your friends and play a game.
