yeah but is game inovation, thats the point of the game no new controls like wiisports its a new game, for us gamers it will be a better game than wiisport of course but it wont have the same impact because its still a game that you play with bottons

Because a lot of sony fanboys have the following time line for the future of the console wars.
1: Wii is outselling PS3 2 to 1 every month.
2: Something AWESOME happens
3: PS3 is outselling Wii, like, 100 to 1 every month and all the Wiis get confiscated by the government for some reason and everyone is forced to buy a PS3. Everyone.

Now, people are just looking for the Awesome thing to happen to turn the PS3 around and make it a 100 million seller like some people are predicting.

You need to remember this mind set has been going around a while. Remember 'wait until X'? How about 'Once the Wii passes the GameCube/XBox/20 Million it's not going to sell anymore'? Or 'everyone is eventually going to buy HD TVs and have an extra 500$ that they hate and want to get rid of'? Or the old favorite 'Well, PS3 is on a ten year life cycle despite the fact that that makes no sense, so it's going to be outselling the wii when the wii gets replaced by the Wii2 and nintendo sells 100 million of those'? It's kind of like that.


This is ridiculous. People don't think the game is good because they think it'll turn the console wars around. I know the PS3 is going to get its ass handed to it by the Wii. I'm excited for this game because it looks great, not out of some desperate attempt at a console savior.

Why do you care about LBP (or it's failure) so much?



Shadowblind on 12 August 2008

People think LBP has truely endless possibilities. So did Timesplitters 2 level creator. The point I'm making is that while it will be fun for a long time, what happens after you've messed with all the indiviual things? They all end in the same effects.

Still, the fact that I've ben told you can make a FPS or a story based RPG in it by fans of the game sounds nothing less then awesome.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

there are two options. The game will either suck ass or kick ass(crossing my finger for the last one)

Much like two virgins on their wedding night, Little Big Planet will probably not be able to live up to expectations ...

This isn't saying that it will be a bad game, it probably won't be but it's hyped like it will be the best game of the generation which I can't see it being; and I'm not saying that it will sell poorly, with how much it is being marketed already it will sell well, but it would have to sell 5+ Million units to live up to expectations which I can't see happening.

This is looking to be my game of the year, and possibly game of the gen, depending on how the next Zelda and Ico game turn out. And provided no other surprising new IPs like LBP pop up. :P

I think it will sell very well, because 1. it's looking to be an AWESOME game, and 2. it seems Sony is marketing the hell out of it. Will it crush Wii Sports? Lol, no. It's not even remotely similar to Wii Sports, outside of it's mass appeal, but it will be a great title and it will sell extremely well for a ps3 title.

LBP ftw!

Have you ever been to any other forums?

On NeoGAF, the thread about pre-order bonuses alone is already 10 pages long:

i don't see the super appeal and how everyone thinks it will draw families kids ect.

you make some cheezy doll character and then run through a random platform level. hey at least mario games have a goal, though pretty much non existant story there at least is one.

then there is the make your own levels and stuff, yea sure i could see some get excited and this looks to be well though otu. but seriously who really actually wnats to spend time doing this and making an awesome level. no matter how bored i would ever get of stuff i would think "hmm maybe i shoudl try making a level" then be like nah i'll just take a nap, that sounds like too much work and boring.

the percentage of peopel taht enjoy doing that is such a small number. i'm not saying this game will be bad, but don't expect it to be your savior or the best game in history. but i guess this is what we shoudl expect, seems the loosing console fans think anything is their savior
