Forums - Gaming - Boku: Microsoft's answer to Little Big Planet?

I doubt its copying LBP, this would have had to be in development for a while.

But still it looks really good actually. It certainly blows the scope of LBP out of the water.



Tease.

MS copies Sony confirmed.

orginal "sackboy"

This looks amazing. Albeit even reviewers complained about lbps editor being intimidating I imagine this might be even more so.

I went from thinking this generation of games may have not been for me to wanting all 3 systems. The golden age of gaming is upon us.



Wow. There's even a character called 'Stickboy'. I guess people would figure out they were copying Sony if they called him Bagboy or Sackdude.

Already? that was quick.

Doesn't look simple either.



"Stickboy can't walk but he packs a wallop"

LOL Stickboy reminds me of the Vii or the PSPhone , what a blaitan rip off.

But why are they using something so close to that title?

 

Unless there's another meaning to it, "boku" is the way males refer to themselves most of the time. It's like saying "me" or "I". It's nothing special really.

As for what Boku means in this game, I have no idea. It is possible that it's the same as it's Japanese meaning, since it's "me" creating the game and doing everything. It could mean anything Microsoft wants it to though.



Wow I have to say it does look freaking awesome, it hasn't got the personality LBP has, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. it seems you make your own style. We will see, if it works as easily as it looked in that video I will be very excited.



Looks awesome!

but why the slip-up, MS?

"Boku is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone. The programming environment runs on the XBox, allowing rapid design iteration using only a game controller for input."

 

they do mention it's the 360 later on though, but still...
