LittleBigPlanet 3 already available for under £25 on PS4

Dealspwn writes: LittleBigPlanet 3 for £24.85 on PS4? That's what we call a hot gaming deal here at Dealspwn. Currently rocking a healthy metacritic rating of 80, it's certainly not the review scores that see the game discounted so much. At almost half price for such a decent new release, we're not going to spend much time wondering why. Just get in our basket!

Fun fact: little big planet 3 outsold sunset overdrive

I remember the days xbox fans would say stuff like
"xbox exclusives sell better" ohh how the tables have turned

WeAreLegion3401d ago

Side note:

Both of them are incredible games. I wish they had sold better. :/

Lightning Mr Bubbles3401d ago

I remember the first LBP was amazing and now the franchise has gone down hill. Obviously they didn't see enough potential in the franchise going foward that's why they had a different developer make it and all they did was try to imitate the first 2 games.

WeAreLegion3401d ago

I didn't think so. I think LBP3 is excellent! They introduced tons of new mechanics and the new characters add a much-needed depth to multi-player.

marlinfan103401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

Fun fact: ps4 has almost twice the install base of xbox one. Every game should sell considerably more.

Edit-

Another fun fact: according to vgchartz SSOD sold more.

I dont think this is the best example to show playstation games sell more.

Spotie3401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

Fun fact: fact and vgchartz are antonyms.

Edit: I didn't say anything about a more credible source. I'm only commenting on your use of "fun fact," which was followed by citing VGChartz, a site built on speculation. that actively eschews facts(taking weeks to update with official numbers after they've become available, for example).

I can't figure out HOW, but somehow you don't understand how that doesn't work.

marlinfan103401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

Can you provide any data thats more credible? As far as I know theres been no official announcements of the sales on either one of them.

Im not the one that came to the article spouting about which games sold more, I just replied to the guy that did.

darren_poolies3401d ago

Lol you're using vgchartz realllyyyyyyyyyy?

marlinfan103401d ago

Hey, its more credible than the source the original guy left. Thats okay though, he said something pro sony so he gets a pass, and agreed with lol

GribbleGrunger3401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

Fun fact: Regardless of how many a game sells, they're fun.

TXIDarkAvenger3401d ago

Fun fact: This article has nothing to do with Xbox One and Sunset Overdrive.

YodaCracker3401d ago

LittleBigPlanet 3 is a sequel in a highly rated series with a large fanbase on a platform with 16 million users.

Sunset Overdrive is a new IP on a platform with 9 million users.

Aaaand no source showing LBP3 selling more while marlinfan10 provided a source showing Sunset sold more.

Case closed?

ABizzel13401d ago

XBO and SO should have never been brought up to begin with, seeing how it has nothing to do with the topic, and he should have been marked for trolling to begin with.

But starting a debate with a back-up plan, does nothing to prove your point.

Also the sales posted from VG are sales ending December 6th it is currently December 26th. The week ending sales LBP3 was at 167k, while SO was at 76k. If LBP dropped by a similar percent and SO increased by a similar percent LBP would still be the better seller by now. Also SO has 6 weeks of sales, LBP3 has 3 weeks of sales, and it's going on 9 weeks of sales for SO and 6 for LBP.

Both games can do better.

No_Limit3401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

@CervantesPR1
LOL,
Fun fact, Another fanboy using another game from another platform to go off topic and defend a price drop for their exclusive.

Since you are making claims with no concrete numbers, here, let me help you out.

Fun Fact, LBP3 on PS4 debuted @#17 on the Official UK weekly chart http://www.chart-track.co.u... while

Fun fact, Sunset Overdrive debuted @#1 on the same weekly chart. http://www.chart-track.co.u...

Fun fact, LBP on PS4 only sold 99k in the month of November which is the busiest selling month for new releases of the year. http://vizioneck.com/forum/...

while Sunset Overdrive was the 9th best selling game of NPD in terms of individual format in OCt when the game was released on 10/28, so only a few days of sales. http://www.shacknews.com/ar...

The way I see it, both games are fun but seeing the hypocrisy and the defense of anything that is deemed a negative for the PS4 smack talking about other games on other consoles and how "my game sold more than theirs" with no link to back them up is really childish. smh

Charybdis3401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

Kinda lame but both games are fun and deserve good sales. So instead of being spitefull let's just say:
Fun fact both big planet 3 and sunset overdrive 3 are good games, and deserve even more sales.

I managed to order from Amazon UK a couple of days ago for £25. That'll make a nice Birthday present for myself. :D

fermcr3401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

Probably get LBP3 when it's £10-£15. No rush.

FullmetalRoyale3401d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

This is my first LBP game(purchased it earlier last week), and I definitely "get it". These guys did a great job taking it over, if it gave me the same feelings that people said the first two gave them.

It is a bit difficult to describe it's charm. Mostly, it's fun to play. I unlocked Oddsock, and I really enjoyed the short time I spent with him.

I jumped onto the user created content and played some mini golf. The stuff some of you *people have created is quite astonishing. It does remind me of right when I first got into Minecraft, by way of the amazing creativity of others inspired me to try and create something great.

scark923401d ago

This game is worth full price for a newbie to LBP! LBP 2 is one of my favorite games of all time!

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.

darthv72948d ago

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

Snookies12948d ago

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

Teflon02948d 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 :(

Profchaos948d ago (Edited 948d 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.

MadLad948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

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

Battlestar23948d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad948d ago (Edited 948d 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.

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

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet

***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet.

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.***

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.

Should You Start Your Kids With Retro Or Modern Games?

BY JOHN SANTINA: Should you introduce your kids to the world of gaming with retro or modern games? Super Mario Bros. or New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe? The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Breath of the Wild? Does Timmy seem more like a Tetris kinda kid or a GTA Online kinda kid?

Being a parent is, without a doubt, the most rewarding life choice I have made on this planet (I’m equally proud of the life choices I have made on other planets, but we’ll talk about those another time). It fills me with joy to know that my legacy will live on through my scruffy little gamepad destroyers.

But, being a parent comes with responsibility. Our children need food, somewhere safe to live, not to mention lots of love, encouragement, attention, and someone to check for monsters under the bed.

Modern, retro games do not have the best controls/response a lot of the time. That's how I/we did it.

anonymousfan1360d ago

I think retro games are not as accessible... I hope to try 1 or 2 classic games with my kids though.

garos821360d ago

GTA vice city followed by Silent Hill 2. i want my kid to harden the f**k up cause the world aint a peach :)

CrimsonWing691360d ago

I’d start them with modern games. Definitely things like Mario 3, Mega Man, Contra, Castlevania, etc. whip ‘em into shape and have some appreciation for the old school.

Nacho_Z1360d ago

I'm going to fire up the SNES and try her with Mario World and Mario Kart, seems appropriate. She'd probably think it was funny beating me up on Streetfighter.

CWheatley1360d ago

Retro simply because the size of the controller is smaller and less buttons to navigate. The games don't matter as much because it's their first time experiencing video games. They don't know any better, unlike us gaming veterans 😉
