all platformers have not done anything new in the last 10 years. this is the 1st game to do so.

I dont think tha statement is any more fasle then saying "Mario Galaxy is a great game"

But only time will tell and i cant wait to get my hands on it. (LBP that is)

 


People who have never played Mario Galaxy ITT.

Or Braid. Or Drill Dozer. Or Rayman 2. Or Ratchet & Clank (the first one). Or any one of likely a dozen other platformers that have done something new with the genre in the past decade.

I find it funny how the same people who said that Mario Galaxy was just Super Mario 64 + waggle are now going, "they added realistic physics to a standard 2D platformer? BEST PLATFORMER EVAR!!!!"



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Best Platformer ever is Mario 64. Period. No 2d game will beat it. No matter how much we are given to create levels. MArio 64 is the best because it was a challenge. the 3d level design was second to none.

LBP is good, but even against 2d platformers like Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World that statement is bold. It's not just about user created content. Because Mario has characters that people love. LBP has little soft ants. What moves can you do?

See. LBP I'm looking forward to, but user created content does not warrant the best platformer title.

Characters, music, moves of the character, a world to lose yourself in (aka mushroom kingdom) and seriously, do you think any tool to create levels in LBP will beat Shigeru Miyamotos level design?????

Yes, because your pitching one mans (although he had a team) levels design against the potential creativity of millions.

 

So let me get this strait. LBP with far more limited design options than is available to a full game designer like Shigeru Miyamoto you think will be better? If shigsy wants a certain type of level he can change the move set of his character during production.

With LBP you cant. Which is why LBP is limited. Can LBP fly if you want him to? can he hover? Double jump? Morph? IT will be a good game, but seriously best platformer. Oh dear.

That's one that I've seen. Yes. He can... I'd expect him to be able to do the two other things too.

I really hope you prove me wrong, but I have seen lots of videos and none of the above is in LBP. Post a video, show me. I actually want you to be right. But MArio 64 has a massive lead from what I have seen in terms of best platformer.

Sackboy doesn't need to hover or double jump!

He gets the jetpack!

"The best platfom ever" title is a matter of opinion, and my opinion tells me it will be the best platform ever.
