i own LBP and i feel the 60$ price tag was a bit much, especially with all the DLC available. $$$ really starts to add up if you want the full experience.
You know, free=/=good. LBP, for what it offers, is worth the price of $60. It already comes with levels created by the development team and you can play levels created by PSN members. Who knows if Kodu will already come with levels built right in.game_masta14
Yeah, but when it comes to live vs psn, then free = teh WIN!
[QUOTE="angelkimne"]You think they're going to give Kodu away for free?SpruceCaboose
That is their plan. Selling a programming language that limited is kinda hard. buh buh buh buh m$ is teh evil corps!!1!1not like sony or nintendo or apple :WAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE:
Well people are still gonna try call Kodu a ripoff of LBP, let me just kill this (coming from a Cow btw, I'm just not blind):
Kodu was shown to the media for the first time before LBP. Back then known as Boku. http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/03/techfest_demo_b.html
Also, you might want to know that Media Molecule (the studio that created LBP) was formed by Ex-Lionhead studio members. You know, the same Lionhead that is a subsidiary of Microsoft. http://www.edge-online.com/news/ex-lionhead-designer-forms-new-studio
I still don't see the comparison. LBP is a AAA video game that has level editing tools. The gameplay for LBP is already set. Doesn't really seem like the creation tools for microsoft is going for the same thing.
BTW LBP is worth $60 seeing as thats what most videogames cost.
Idk this looks pretty stupid. This just seems tacky and made just to get at Little Big Planet. Just a fast and cheap way. I think Little Big Planet will still be a better "game". But i guess well just have to wait to see what Koku really is.
This looks dodgey. Its too complicated for the average user. Yes, I know that its a simple programming language that utilizes icons, but from my experiences in software engineering classes, some people literally give up because they dont want to understand the logic of computer systems. What do I mean? Some people are unwilling to understand If/Else While/For and so forth. These are the basic building blocks of programming, and im sure that even though its based on icons, these basic fundamentals will be in there in some form or manner (I dont see any programming langauge can survive without them). Anyways, this will lead to some problems for alot of people and they will just give up. But I am looking foward to it and I know that the people who take the time to master it will produce some awesome games :D
Umm not even close, little big planet is very much a game even my g/f loves playing, the mod thing is just a tool set your casual gamer wont give a hoot about
Free?? I thought PS Home was supposed to be the best thing ever, and it was FREE.
Well I guess people never learn. You get what you pay for - or not pay for, for that matter.

are we forgetting why it's free? It's because it is a team set up for education and experiments in a way, and in this case introducing the computer programming field to kids, and really, just more people. This **** looks good. Just as good as LBP, but less game-like. It's essentially a polished, easier, and more versatile RPG maker. LBP is a level creator.
and to the poster before me, why wouldn't they? the normal person doesn't like to create things? I think you mean the non gamer wouldn't care (and would they really care about lbp either?)
