Why is Little Big Planet hyped so much?

1. Create your own levels.

2. Play other people's levels.

3 Publish the levels you made online and let people play/rate them(youtube style)

4 Play through levels with up to 4 other people online.

Not that hard to understand:| Are you all really that daft?

no_submission

Hmm... I'm not that daft that I don't understand you really taking someone's ignorance to heart. Let's see... your avatar and signature is LBP themed. That would explain your eagerness to flame someone like me for not understanding your favorite game. Well perhaps you should take the time to read all the replies first before you take a shot at me. Then you would have realized that I already got it. :roll:

It's apealing to girls.Shomb22

And that's a bad thing how? I love video games that my girlfriend likes to play too.

LOL Where did you get that one? :lol:

Have you shown the game to a girl you know yet?

Quite a few girls i know have seen videos of this game and loved what they saw. Althoguh I'm not sure how much they'd be into the whole 'build your own level' thing. But they'd sure love to play this game.

I don't think it's going to be as gopd as people say it is,but this is only speaking from what I've seen so far. There could be more to the game. Right now all we know is there will be an intuitive (not innovative, people) level design system and a bunch of levels without enemies (again, based on what I've seen) that had better be damned clever to hold attention. Deathless platforming is very difficult because you have to go beyond the normal "just don't go killed" idea of many platformers. The level design has to be really, really good in order to hold attention.norfair_dweller

But they're all so damn cute.

No, I haven't shown any girls this game. I don't plan to either. I just noticed your sig too. That person owned himself. Really bad. :lol:

Soon to be one of the biggest flops around. I thought gamespot must be joking when they made it game of the show. Then again they have gone to .5 and that was an actuality.

This game will be boring after a week, if it lasts that long.

I really don't think you understood the concept of this game because I really can't explain why you'd think so.

I cant stress enough how critical it was that I heard that the devs were making their own levels, and lots of them.

My biggest fear of that game was that it would turn into something so open that it would essentially reflect all the inferiorities of the masses. Level design, good level design, is not easy. Couple that with the fact that the game is basically only good as a platformer, and there might have been problems. True, its also a venue for creative expression and includes other players which are all great, but it's essentially a 2D platformer as an engine to accomplish all this. Incredible concept, but it would work best if you were given challenges that were designed by experts, which I'm happy to see are given priority. My fears are very much tempered.

I'm still worried about the core mechanic. At this point, we only have isolated minutes of game that supposed to offer hours of entertainment. If it were a FPS we could guess the outcome, but lbp is totally unique. It could score big time, or it could have some fatal flaws. We have 3d platformers now, 2D on a next gen consoleis an experiment in the industry. I will definitely have to see a real review before I buy this game

You're apparently completely unfamiliar with the mod community. Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, Dystopia, Red Orchestra....all mods.

Open source is the best. Period. Gain some faith in community driven mapmaking/gamemaking/level design IMMEDIATELY.

Y'know, providing the price is right, that video may have just convinced me to get a PS3 at some point in the future. I knew a bit about this game before, but after watching that, I must admit, I'm really quite gobsmacked. The level sharing element that they showed at the end looked superb:D.

Noticed how the haters mostly consist of lemmings?

Well no point in trying to convince em of this innovation of a game...They've already branded this game: "boring, pointless, flop".

No offense, but this game doesn't look like it will offer innovation...

well thats because ur a lemming and you have to trick ur mind into not liking a game you cant play, LBP is going to be sooo much fun and it has endless possibilitys with the level designer

Hey guess what? Maybe it's not just because he's a lemming and maybe it really does look boring to him?

What appeals to you does not apply to everyone that isn't you.

You know why some people don't like this game? PS3 EXCLUSIVE WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF BEING ON ANOTHER CONSOLE. The same reason why MGS4 is being bashed now.

And the few cows who dont like this game.. well obviously this game isn't for you.

It doesn't look interesting to me either. :| It's a shame that it's PS3 exclusive and so many PS3 owners don't even want it.Watch_Me_Xplode

WOAH! one=/=Many, 99.9% of cows love this game and many think it will change the image of the PS3, why am I even arguing with you people, this game won Gamespot's Game of E3 award for God's sake.

Got anything to back that up?

Yes, here:

I just watched the video for it off my PS3, and ... what the hell is the point? Is there any goal or objective to the game or is this nothing more than a creative time killer? This screams "killer app" just as loud as the rubber ducky game. :|RTFlakfizer

#1 Because it's original and it's using the "kiddy" mentality

#2 Its not made by Nintendo. There....I said it.

What's the point of Halo 3, shooting aliens and other players? Atleast LittleBigPlanet sparks creative imagination, while Halo 3 is just a pointless time wasting shooter.
