Back in November of 2009 a game released which changed the industry entirely with it's focus on user creativity and building tools. Soon, LittleBigPlanet came to be known as one of the most innovative games of all time. Time went by and many people and journalists began to speculate that a sequel would be released. Many argued that this would just be counterproductive since LittleBigPlanet's focus was on the creation of these platforming levels and a sequel would just reiterate this content.
However, in June 2010 it was revealed that there was a sequel in the works. But this LittleBigPlanet was much bigger than percieved. It not only boasted the same creativity and intuitiveness of the original but planned to expand it. LBP2 was to become a "Platform for Games." With a ton of pressure riding on it's shoulders from the previous game, is LittleBIGplanet 2 going to rise to glory or will it leave your popit hovering over restart?
The game starts as you would expect from the series with basic platforming and puzzle solving. However, as the main story progresses the levels become more intricate and completely evolve. Soon you'll be driving vehicles, side-scroll shooting, and swinging your way to the finish lines. There's even clones of classic arcade games you can play.
In terms of story LBP2 doesn't really hit home that hard. It serves it's purpose and injects some ideas into your brain for when you go to create mode. But alas, it does fall short in terms of presenting a compelling tale.
One thing the game does not lack though, is charm. It secretes charm. From the delightful voice of Stephen Fry to the cutout look of the world the entire bundle is appealing. Atmosphere is one thing LittleBigPlanet seems to always get right. It presents something familiar but puts the LittleBipSpin on it. The effect is still welcome and still refreshing.
But when all is said and done, you're not here for the single player are you? No. This game is all about the creation and sharing of levels. On launch day there were so many levels I couldn't scroll through them all. And now with the Addition of MediaMolecule's picks you can easily click to some of the best ones.
Creation is still quite overwhelming. You're presented with just a ton of tools and no idea where to start(unless you were already a wizard at LBP). The tutorials do help quite a bit but a lot is left up to the user to spend a lot of time in create mode.
LittleBigPlanet 2's quality will be determined in time. Some of the best is yet to come. With the continued support of the community and Mm this game may very turn out to be on it's way to becoming one of the best games of the year.
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "
All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.
Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.
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.
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 👌
Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.
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.
RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen
Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy
Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.
It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.
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 :(
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.
Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.
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.
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.

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

If you are so clever, step up and show me where I was wrong, or keep schtum and we'll see what a hero "John Mclane" actually is. lol
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.
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.
The attackers breached and manipulated the servers to place abusive messages all over the game ccontent https://www.ruetir.com/2021...
I can't wait to get this game. My GF said she will buy it for me on one condition she gets it for me after I finish my statistics coursework. 3 more days
I won't be playing this game for another 6 weeks, but I can't wait. So impatient, lol.
