XNA is for people who want to try out developing.

LBP is a game.

asdasd

isnt the point of LBP to make your own game using features in the game?

Yeah, I was curious and picked up an XNA book and even with a few years of C++ under my belt I was iffy about some of the code.

Not ot mnetion TC you also have to design your own artwork. Just because you program something doesn't mean it's magically there.

No, you can make your own levels and play through them with your friends. You dont make an entire new game. Just levels.. Look stuff up before bashing it in a thread

Well you can go to Garage Games and form a team. So if you know atleast one aspect of game development you can make a team and create a game on XNA. Btw XNA uses C# not C++.

I think TC is talking about the ability to create/share in XNA as you can with LBP. I think he was comparing the idea or concept of both. This thread is proof of see-monkey-do-monkey.

The fact is XNA is going to result in the same thing cows are praising LPB for but with more variety, depth, and scope.

It won't be dressing up sock puppets and have them knock over rocks over and over like LPB.

Do you even know what you are talking about? C++ is a start peice language. You CANNOT build a game with just C++. C++ is bacis programming. And for the topis question, LBA=$60 XNA= $100, $60 looks better then $100

do you know what youre talking about, you can build a basic game even a 3d game using just C++, XNA uses just one programing language for code. And link me to where XNA is going to be 100 dollars

No I never said that, you said XNA games will be very weak compaired to freeware games. With XNA community indies will now have an extremly concentrated community to show off their games unlike on random website postings.

I just went to gamedev.net and there is a game on the first page that was created with XNA and it looks great, far from just being very weak freeware. Its not a game made for Xbox but it shows that indie devs can do more than just make small 2d games with it.

Erm...you're mistaking XBLA games with XNA community games.the screen youi've posted is from upcoming commercial downloadable game for 360.

And by "weak copy" I didn't mean the quality. 360 freeware scene will be like PC freeware scene , only many times smaller. Hence "weaker"

If I would mean quality I would have used "crappy" instead of "weak"

The fact is XNA is going to result in the same thing cows are praising LPB for but with more variety, depth, and scope.

It won't be dressing up sock puppets and have them knock over rocks over and over like LPB.

Tell me this when a game like LBP is released using XNA.

People seem to forget that LBP is created by an Indie developer, which is what XNA is developed for. So dont be suprised to see games on the level of LBP uploaded over time.

you have to be joking. Nobody could state that seriously :D

ROFL alot of games are looking good on XNA already. XNA is a REALLY POWERFUL TOOL.

and what Ive played around with seem as if it is easy to use too. Id expect some really huge indie games soon.

Thier game before LBP was Rag doll kung fu which was an independent game. They are now a company in of themselves but they created an indie game before forming the company and joining with Sony to publish the game. Its not exactly the same but they were on the level of indie devleopers.

So? That's not what you wrote. LBP is made with huge money (way above anything indie devs can afford, big pc indie devs, let alone wha XNA community devs will be) and they have 20+ persons team. So no... you won't see games like those on XNA communit games

No I never said that, you said XNA games will be very weak compaired to freeware games. With XNA community indies will now have an extremly concentrated community to show off their games unlike on random website postings.

I just went to gamedev.net and there is a game on the first page that was created with XNA and it looks great, far from just being very weak freeware. Its not a game made for Xbox but it shows that indie devs can do more than just make small 2d games with it.

AdrianWerner

Erm...you're mistaking XBLA games with XNA community games.the screen youi've posted is from upcoming commercial downloadable game for 360.

And by "weak copy" I didn't mean the quality. 360 freeware scene will be like PC freeware scene , only many times smaller. Hence "weaker"

If I would mean quality I would have used "crappy" instead of "weak"

The screen I just posted is a free PC game being released by an indie development team using XNA. Anyway we will see how much the community gets into XNA, but I find it very interesting and a lot of other indie teams do also so they can broaden their audience.
