Sackboy is back, and this time he's got new fiends to join in on the fun.
Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.
Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.
What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.
There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap
Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.
Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.
Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.
Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years
I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.
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?
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.
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.
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.
This game is amazing!
There is so much more depth (literally!) to what can be created, the mind boggles at the prospect of what people will come up with.
Someone already recreated Final Fantasy VII over 31 levels on LBP!
Its good to see the game getting such good reviews with the exception of the weird IGN review.
Love how deep and easy to learn the creation tools are in this LBP release. Can't imagine all the great stuff people will be coming up with for years to come.
Sorry startreplay.com, it's not a headline unless it's saying negative things about a great game. Take this one for example, ignored:

It's sad, because the game really does feel (not just look) fresh, but all the masses see is some half-arsed attack by IGN.
Do yourselves a favour gamers; if you're in two minds as to whether to buy this or not, play it via SharePlay and be prepared to fall in love with it all over again. ;^)
This bad boy will be under the Christmas tree for my 7 year old who plays LBP@ religiously and has awesome times with this game. The amount of replayablity, content, fun, innovation in this game is mind boggling and ppl never get tired. Games like this keep the game industry fresh, along with Souls series, No Mans Sky, Journey, Tear Away, Heavy Rain and a host of other games only found on Sony systems!
If this was an FPS with the same bs mechanics, systems, rehashed levels some of these sites that gave it low scores would be giving it 10's The state of gaming is really sad.
