LittleBigPlanet 2 Vs Create: It’s No Contest

NowGamer: EA this week announced a new title called Create that many have compared to Sony’s Play, Create, Share pioneer LittleBigPlanet, but does Media Molecule’s flagship really have a challenger? Let’s compare and contrast...

[brazilianbumpincher]

their studio is based on these type of games,EA just want to a bit of the cash cow so for people without ps3s this is the best they can get currently

cant see this selling well on ps3 though not with lbp2 around the corner

[Newtype]

Dante's Inferno : God of War clone
Create : Little Big Planet

I know there's more, but I don't really buy or look at games by EA.

[bjornbear]

they seem to have a deal with Sony for other stuff.

EA n Sony, keep your friends close but your enemies closer (Valve & Sony too xD)

@ New type: So no Mirrors Edge? No Dead Space or Dead Space 2?! Fifa 2010?! smh

[Quagmire]

Activision

Prototype: Infamous

[sikbeta]

@Newtype

True, this is like DI all over again, I'm expecting a "Create: Divine Edition" exclusive for PS3 :P

LBP = Play.Create.Share
LBP2 = Play.Create Your Own Games.Share

Enough said...

[ranmafandude]

i thought i was the only one that saw this pattern. they cannot touch the quality of sony's first party studios(and even 2nd lol).

[nix]

Create < Create. Play. Share.

[AndrewRyan]

I know most of them are rehashed and crap but some really impress.

[Noobasaurus_REX]

...dead space, thats the only reason I like em

[ivant]

Dont' forget that EA brought us Bad Company 2...no need for MW2.
But why haven't they done a multiplat version/Copy of Gears or Halo?

[Dance]

little big planet is not the first of its kind

[hennessey86]

neither game is out yet, what a stupid artical

[D4RkNIKON]

So you think there is even a small chance that the title of this article will end up being wrong? Doubt it

[Kurt Russell]

It's still worth waiting to find out though... regardless if it's highly unlikely to be any better. If it is.... that's a good thing, not a bad thing.

[DelbertGrady]

Not that I doubt that LBP 2 will be better in every way but this article is ridiculous. None of the games are out yet and we don't have enough info to even know how they play or even if they are in direct competition with each other.

NowGamer officially joins the ranks of über-schnitzel.de as one of the lamest sites on N4G.

[jimmins]

Is clearly a create-em-up - therefore it is after a chunk of the market currently dominated by LBP. They may not be in direct competition, but their USPs are identical

[hassi94]

Create-em-up? What the hell is wrong with people!? Having creation in a game doesn't make it a create-em-up (and even if it is a game targetted at content creation, 'create-em-up' is the stupidest most unorignal name someone's ever suggested.

[thereapersson]

Good, objective, well-rounded comment, Soda

[Tachyon_Nova]

The fact that you think a comment which starts with "Not that I doubt that LBP 2 will be better in every way..." is well rounded tells me that you are strongly religious. The non existent or at best convoluted logic smells smells strongly of something that comes out of only two places, the religious mind and a bulls anus.

Either that, or your Soda's second account.

[Why o why]

sodas comment was fair. I was thinking the same thing. we can't call ea's game anything like a clone unless it plays the same. yes there is definitely a lbp influence but its too early to call it a clone. Dantes inferno, now that's a clone

[thereapersson]

Neither :)

[bjornbear]

but, lets make it a given.

we can ASSUME LBP2 will be a whole league ahead of Create, but create will be a substantial add on to the collection of games of 360 and Wii owners that like Play. Create. Share games.

PS3 owners, don't even bother, just get LBP2

[1942]

"Not that I doubt that LBP 2 will be better in every way but this article is ridiculous. None of the games are out yet and we don't have enough info to even know how they play or even if they are in direct competition with each other."

we already have lbp and know that the game is good with all the reviews, goty awards and sales. lbp2 is bigger in every way so it is safe to say that it will be amazing. create is a cheap knock off and if you look at EA's past attemps of knock offs they failed. lbp2 will be better then create and no i don't need to play them to know that.

[dark-hollow]

i didn't try both but i don't doubt that i will enjoy LBP2 more because i prefer original and innvative games

[BornToKill]

[koehler83]

I think people are getting the wrong impression about Create. Although it's inspiration is pretty clearly derived from LBP, it's more of a puzzler than anything else; More like Crayon Physics Deluxe.

I think it's going a bit far to call a LittleBigPlanet "clone" because the gameplay is entirely different.

[Igniter]

Create probably started being made in late 2007 or early 2008 and was inspired by the Far Cry map making community that kept that game alive because of the map editor. There is an article somewhere around here from jan or feb 2008 where the head of Ubi hints about Create.

LBP may have caused a redirection with Create, it sure took them long enough to make it!

[Acquiescence]

EA ought to be building on the legacy of their Mirror's Edge franchise (or lack thereof atm). Come on EA, get a sequel out, the sales will build!

[THC CELL]

they will only push mm to make lbp 3 so good look to EA

This is going to be a fun week for xbox vs ps3 fans with only one clear winner MM

[PHOEBUS]

they're clearly very different games, but LB2 is much more expansive

[WiiPS3beats360]

Dam dude are you blind or have you even played LBP before, you can clearly see 2d game where u collect bubbles look at screens there's even the 2x multiplier for getting alot of bubbles in short time this is a huge clone I guess it'll just make LBP2 better, they shud have made it xbox 360, wii, pc exclusive IMO cuz we really don't need this AT ALL

[BubZ-SkullY]

Lbp2 for the win for me....but it was just a matter of time that a 'clone' was made...even if it may have been thought of first..it ws not brought out first so it will be looked at as a 'clone'...to be fair I don't see ea doin well with this...but it will definitely sell good on xbox and win since they have nothing like lbp, and being a gamer despite the fact it's Sony only, they all know lbp is a good game and will like to play something similar of the sort...even though it's merely just a carbon copy

[Seferoth75]

Nothing like LBP? Seriously? Mario says hi. You know the person sack boy wants and tries to be.

[BubZ-SkullY]

well mario is another type of game, i see where your coming from as they were both side scrolling games, but i think the reason sackboy gets his own persona and a reason to compare the two wont be strong, is the fact you can create your own stuff in lbp and its more versatile.

[-chaz-]

Hmm... comparing the two trailers I see on one hand a game that is truly v2.0 of a very powerful and flexible engine with what appears to be now limitless depth... and a knockoff that seems to lack most of the charm and innovation of the other. I don't think Media Molecule need worry, and really it's great that EA is bringing this sort of game to all platforms, though I only hope that they don't gimp the HD versions on account of the Wii's last-gen hardware.

[THC CELL]

i will stand on my head if this game tops even lbp 1

[Shoko]

But I have to agree with Soda. This article shouldn't have even been thought of yet. Not much about the game has been revealed yet, and only one video has been shown of it. Now, in no way am I saying that if we find out more, we could see that it could rival LBP2 (which it won't), but what Im saying is is that the author shouldn't try to claim what the game is all about and everything it can do when all the details haven't been revealed yet.

Anyways, I'll pass on this. Can't wait for LBP2.
