Little Big Planet 3 Preview | Gamereactor UK

GR-UK writes: "There's plenty of new features coming. And although everything felt surprisingly positive, and even though we know that there are now nearly nine million levels that have been created by players around the world (that will also work in Little Big Planet 3), we're still a bit skeptical. Maybe that's because the split-gen development, with the title being developed for both PS3 and PS4, potentially has limited the possibilities of what could be achieved if this had been created with just the PS4 in mind.

That said, we're still looking forward to this next game in the series. We've seen so many imaginative worlds and creations that never cease to surprise us. Nevertheless, Little Big Planet 3 feels as if Sony followed the motto: "more is more". What Little Big Planet 3 needs after the rise of so many similar creative games, is a new focus. When the game is released next month we'll see if that's something that can be found in amongst all of the new features."

Hmm I dont think the ps3 will hold rhis game much back and the fact u can play all the orher levels is a win for me. Looking forward to this title more than anything else in November

GameDev13474d ago

The game is being co developed as in Sumo Digital and Sony XDEv, Sony XDEV are dealing mostly with the PS3 version and Sumo Digital with fully PS4 version

There are differences between the PS4 and PS3 version, vast amount of layers and creation possibilites shows the PS3 version is holding nothing back.

Plus the amount of levels you can have is determined by your hard drive

Make sure you check the music section too.

Derpy3474d ago

I agree. Side scrollers generally do not have a habit of pushing systems very hard (and side scrollers are probably not the best genre for graphics above all else nuts to be looking at anyway.) Being a fan of the first two games, I'm looking forward to this one, but am a little concerned about it being done by a different developer house.

WeAreLegion3474d ago

You shouldn't be concerned. This team is absolutely incredible.

garos823474d ago

agreed plenty of hours of fun to be had with this bad boy. looking forward to some swoop action!

He should review the game as it is lol at cross gen excuse an awesome game is an awesome game regardless of anything example bayonetta 2 not the best looking game but it was a great game overall.
I am buying the game anyway so reviews won't change my mind especially if the reviewer complains about stupid stuff.

Blackleg-sanji3474d ago

Exactly je didn't say anything bad about the game at all so why would u be worried if its cross gen hell have the cross gen games have been better than the so called current gen ones

aceitman3474d ago

well as expected its ps4 exclusive so its nitpicking time , they come up with the most dumbest excuse to knock ps brand exclusives ,now!oh - we're still a bit skeptical. Maybe that's because the split-gen.

TM3333474d ago

I'm sure alot of people have it in their head that this game would be so much better if it wasn't coming out on PS3 too, like that's gonna hold it back. I mean, sure I kinda feel that too, but I don't know that it'd be much different either way. This should be a helluva fun game that lots will be able to play. I miss the old days of playing LBP 1 with my son. Now he's 18:(

Blackleg-sanji3474d ago

Yea I don't think a only ps4 little big planet could have been much better especially considering this isnt the original developer's (even tho sumo digital did a great job on this one) And to bad about ur soon u should see if he will play again I cant wait to give my 2 yr old the controller he loved knack

Father__Merrin3474d ago

some of the music in lbp1 was amazing

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.

darthv72949d ago

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

Snookies12949d ago

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

Teflon02949d 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 :(

Profchaos949d ago (Edited 949d 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.

MadLad949d ago (Edited 949d ago )

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

Battlestar23949d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad949d ago (Edited 949d 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.

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.

Christopher949d ago

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

***“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.***

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.

Profchaos949d ago (Edited 949d 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.

What are you going on about?

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.

anonymousfan1361d ago

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

garos821361d 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 :)

CrimsonWing691361d 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_Z1361d 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.

CWheatley1361d 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 😉
