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.

WHAT!!! What are you smoking Squillaim? i could certainly use some lol

I really don't think it looks charming or stylish.
Dull, that's the word. Dull.

I was never under the impression that the motivation of Sonic or Mario mattered at all considering the normal quality of their games' story lines. You are absolutely right that Mario and Sonic are symbols of gaming that have stood the test of time to an extent (sorry Sonic) and therefore are entirely different in that respect from Sackboy. But can you honestly tell me that they don't all have faces? Because that's all the person you quoted was talking about, his desire for characters to have faces.

Thats not the way I understood it. To me, if someone talks about something having a face it has a personality. I guess he could of be actually talking about a 'face'. Confused yet? I am.

enjoying your "trophies"?

The idea of trophies is universal - a veriation of trophies exists in the PS2 R&C games, there you have skill points. It's true Sony added it after MS, but they didn't copy anything - it's too universal to be copied.

 

 

the concept itself... but not how its used.  Sony didnt add it out of nowhere without anything causing them to.  They could see it caused more games to sell, so they decided to implement their own version.

Yeah, you're right. They didn't add it out of nowhere, but they surely didn't add it because "it sells games". They implemented it because they listen to their community. Go to the official Playstaion forums or the Playstaion Blog, and you will see tons of posts from users complaining that they wanted in game XMB and "entitlements/accomplishments/trophies". It wasn't until then that they started working on the firmware to put it into PS3. In the meantime, they even toyed around, letting people know that they were listening (think back to E3 07 "IN SHIRT XMB")

 

Trophies/Achievements do sell games! The nerds like it.

Ok this has really piqued my interest. This has so much potential. Yeah LBP is far bigger than this but only in terms of hype. With this you wouldn't be restrained to a platformer all the time.

"it's not a LBP rip off, it's a tool that allows you to make games not a game that allows you to make levels."

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

But what if you create a game wich creates levels ?

You do realize that the concept of LBP has been out ever since people started making levels for DOOM right? LBP is nothing groundbreaking other than the fact that it's a good level editor on a console. This on the other hand makes your games on top of the fact that you can edit your levels any way you want to.
