Forums - Sony - LBP will be Mario killer

Thats what they said about Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet & Clank all became very popular but didnt kill Mario. LBP is gonna have a hard time even reaching what Sonic almost did to Mario.

There is absolutely no way LBP will live up to the hype people on these forums have made...I've heard of hype but wow...

but don't get me wrong...the last Mario i was this excited for was Sunshine. It never quite rebound after that for me.

I agree with this.  Little Big Planet is positioned for success but let's not measure this success against a game that defined the genre.  If only LBP had a fraction of the success that Mario has had.  These LBP FTW threads are having a negative effect on the overall perception of this game. 

2 million in sales with a 90+ metacritic would be a great performance by LBP.  That would be considered a dissapointment for a Mario game.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

 

 

LOL

Move over Mario here comes Sack Boy. LBP on PS3 looks like the greatest and most exciting platformer in years. I am so looking forward to LBP on PS3. LBP will offer so much to gamers: casuals and hardcores.

October will be a great month when LBP launches worldwide on PS3.

This thread qualifies as SPAM: Stupid Pointless Annoying Message. Congratulations! Use the search function next time and quit stating the unobvious due to your opinion about a game that's not even released yet and not everyone will fork over their life-savings just for one game with creepy voo-doo dolls.

 

 coming from the guy with only 400+ posts and a DP with, i'm guessing a world of warcraft character?

This will be MORE epic, AFTER LBP sales. =)

 

Ahhh CrazzyMan!  You are comic relief at it's best! Rock_on is a close second though.

LOL. LBP being a Mario killer??? Wow.... It will do great and be an amazing PS3 game, but there is no way it can kill Mario.



Currently Playing: Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Predictions:

Super Mario Galaxy will pass Super Mario 64 in total sales CORRECT!

Saving this topic for future references.



I am excited to try out LBP.



Haha Mario has been here for ages so not likely.



 

LBP is going to be small.
