This looks brilliant, LBP 2 is going to be awesome, what will they come up with next.

Steve_04928d ago (Edited 4928d ago )

Something to blow minds:
Just think of all the unbelievable music levels and any levels in LBP1 displaying logic (such as the LittleBigCalculator), these were completely unsupported idea's but the community found a way. In LBP2, just as a small example both these features are supported and streamlined so that any person could use them, and they can be compressed down to be nigh invisible. Just imagine what people will be able to do with this, Direct control, Paintinator, Camera control, Sackbots, various sackboy behaviors (gravity, etc), competition... Absolutely ridiculous.

Edit: I dont mean Paintinator, what's that new one where people are able to emit anything?

IDesertFoxI4929d ago

Good interview. It amazes me what the LBP communtiy can do. I should really look into number 2, the original LBP completely passed me by.

scruffy_bear4929d ago

LBP was brilliant and LBP 2 looks like it's going to be GOTY

Steve_04928d ago

I missed the orignal as although I was hyped when it came out, I wasn't sure that I'd have access to online, and the price where I could get it was almost $100!
I'm actually still thinking of getting the GOTY edition, especially if I can find it cheap. Want to play through the original levels, and also it comes with a bunch of DLC thats compatible with LBP2. If I can get it for $30 I'm sold, even if LBP2 is only a few months away. It's a great game to have in your collection.

Sackometry Wars, nice one, lol. XD

I'm waiting for someone to recreate Super Sackdust HD / Wipesack XL.

Pidgeridoo4929d ago

I am so excited about LBP! Hope it is as good as the first one!!

Am I the only person in the world who thought Geometry Wars was toss?

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Welshy717d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic717d ago (Edited 717d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils717d ago (Edited 717d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic717d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

An update on the LittleBigPlanet server and online services

Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.

darthv72945d ago

It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.

Snookies12945d ago

Whaaa-? That's crazy. Didn't expect it to be permanently shut down...

Teflon02945d ago

It's still up on PS4, they just shut down the PS3 end because hackers on PS3 can't be stopped and go on the game making announcements that can't be avoided without having to go back to all the old game codes and updating to remove the feature etc. It's one of those sad and garbage things where hackers ruined a good thing. I'm mostly sad about the Vita, I'm not sure if I have my music stages saved to my Vita, meaning they're gone forever if I didn't save them back to it. They were good too :(

Profchaos945d ago (Edited 945d ago )

Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.

Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.

Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.

MadLad945d ago (Edited 945d ago )

Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.

Battlestar23945d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad945d ago (Edited 945d ago )

I reread the article, and changed it, to be as honest on the topic as possible.
Let's be real, it was an easy reaction to have considering their actions of late.

CaptainHenry916945d ago (Edited 945d ago )

He's been on a roll and it's comical 😁

RedDevils945d ago

This guy love stealth troll on playstation article as I see the pattern, but he doesn't want to admit that he's a MS fanboy.

Christopher945d ago

I am also sorry people enjoyed the online aspects of the game?

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet
By GamesRadar Staff March 03, 2015
***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet. Including one lucky soul who dodged death to get a job on LBP2. Enter John Beech, or 'johnee' to his PSN friends. Two years ago John was a builder with absolutely no qualifications to speak of. But now? He's a full time designer at Media Molecule working on LittleBigPlanet 2, one of the most anticipated titles on PlayStation 3. This is his story.***

lol
of course there is.. He was stealth trolling stating all LBP contributors wasted their time making levels for LBP... I pointed out that some of the contributors for LBP + Dreams have actually got JOBs because of the CREATIVE console. Just like Gran Turismo fans

Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.

Profchaos945d ago (Edited 945d ago )

That's the thing I guess if it wasn't them it would just be someone else and we would still be in this position regardless of their intent.

darthv72945d ago

What are you going on about?

Profchaos945d ago

The attackers breached and manipulated the servers to place abusive messages all over the game ccontent https://www.ruetir.com/2021...
