Normally when we get the chance to attend media gaming events, we are usually spoon-fed loads of public relations crap. Some company reps will try to make you believe that their title is the second coming, yet you both know this isn’t the truth at all. When we met up with Media Molecule last week at the NYC Sony Holiday event it was a complete oppisite feeling.
It was very pleasant to see just how genuinely excited both Co-Founder Alex Evans and level designer John Beech are about the project. And both are amazed at what the community (which John actually came from) has been able to create during the game’s beta. Check out the interview below and join me in counting down the days until the release of LBP2.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Little Big Planet 2 looks amazing! It is incredible to see what can be created with the in game engine.
made some levels at home as a normal gamer and MM sent him a PSN message and invited him for an interview now he works for them....that is NUTS
thats INCENTIVE,im gona try my best in lbp2 and hope to catch MM's attention
Ladys and Gents Dont Let Little Big Planet 2's Cute Appearence fool you... This is the Most revolutionary game this generation and will almost be a lock for game of the year, or at least a contendor for the title...
The first Little Big Planet was marred by people calling it a Kids game even though it was ha as hell! But from what I have seen from the Beta... Nobody will buy this game for the story mode as games like Diablo... Starcraft, Zelda, world of warcraft, limbo, meat boy, etc etc can all be done just as good in the community driven multiplayer... The best part is that there will be unique games and storys or movies that people will but just to play within little big planet.... It can be used to test out new games and movies... this will be the meeting ground of the creative community as the first game was but on an even greater scale...
The first one was a great stepping point, it'll be interesting to see what the new one is capable of pulling off now.
Definitely going to have to hit up LBP2 next month.
