Can anything beat LittleBigPlanet 2?

Does LittleBigPlanet 2 have Game of The Year 2011 in the bag already? Surely not.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is released on Jan. 18 in the U.S. and a swathe of reviews have already been published. It’s fair to say the reception from professional reviewers has thus far been positive. Insanely positive, in fact.

LBP2 is definitely one of my most anticipated games of 2011! I have a feeling I'll be pumping a lot of hours into this one.

FrankMcSpank5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

In terms of the Meta? I don't know...it's only at 94 and still will probably climb. Not all the reviews are in. Many games struggle to get above 90 anyway. 94 is a tough cookie to crumble.

There are so many great game coming this year. Multiplats and PS3 exclusives....and Gears, all look like GOTY to me. 2011 is probably going to have 10+ GOTY contenders in it.

BUT!>>> If you are refereing to beating it's quality in it's genre? Then my answer is No. Nothing comes close to LBP. Nothing is like it, nothing could ever be like it. Only attempt was CREATE, and that was joke. LBP is a world that is so far beyond anything I have ever seen or played before. It is truly one of the most innovating and original games ever made. Media Molecule deserves a Nobel Prize in Science for it to be quite honest.

Rainstorm815006d ago

I agree this year is packed with triple A content.... it gonna be difficult to crown any game in January.

LBP2 is definately a contender...

DoomeDx5006d ago

We all know that 'Create' by EA, is a huge contender!

(Im being sarcastic)

MostJadedGamer5006d ago

Usually games drops especially hyped sequels when more reviews come in. You can certainly expect LBP2's score to drop several points as more, and more reviews come in.

I cann't understand what people see in this game. Its just a game where people create a whole bunch of shovelware for other people to waste their time playing.

FragMnTagM5006d ago

LBP2 looks great for people that like to work for hours, days, weeks, or months on levels. It looks like a superb game, just not everyone's cup of tea.

I hope this game does even better than the first as it is a new genre of game as there is quite nothing like it.

The only problem I can see with this game is stupid copyright laws that could hinder some of the designs you could do in the game.

Other than that, I am sure this game will be superb. Happy gaming PS3 only peoples.

Commander_TK5006d ago

I'd say the best contenders r LBP2, L.A. Noire, The Last Guardian, U3, ME3 and maybe GeOW3

saladthieves5006d ago

Another game that comes to mind is Minecraft; but in this category, LBP 2 wins hands down

ps3360games5006d ago

Can anything beat LittleBigPlanet 2 yes u3

Halochampian5006d ago

yes and im highly anticipated for Gears 3 and Skyrim as well. Great year in gaming.

nsnsmj5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

It may or may not be beaten. The end of the year is a long ways off. Soooo many games. U3, ME3, P2, R3, InF2, GoW3, Last Guardian (if it's out in 2011), FFv13 (a man can dream), and many more.

Really though, I wish Amazon would ship the game already. They probably have piles of the game just sitting in warehouses waiting to be shipped. I wish games could be delivered as soon as they are available to a retailer. Start shipping out pre-orders first, then the rest.

To hell with street dates, haha!

FragMnTagM5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

I think the game ought to do good and for good reason, but it is not going to overshadow every other game this year due to it not being a game for everyone. It is more a game for creative people, and let's face it, most COD players are not creative.

Not to say someone who is not creative can't enjoy the game, as you can download levels and such.

The title of this article is rather silly as no other game is directly competing with it.

One thing is for sure though, gamers have one hell of a year ahead of them

otherZinc5005d ago

Gears of War 3 & Mass Effect 3 are the only game of the year choices for 2011. Thats being real.

SnakeMustDie5006d ago

Its too early. Although LBP2 definitely a contender for GOTY.

Zir05006d ago

2011 GOTY will be the toughest ever

LBP2
Deux Ex
Zelda: SS
Gears 3
Uncharted 3
Skyrim
Portal 2
Mass Effect 3

All of the above games have had entries which have been GOTY and all have sequels which could easily do it again.

FrankMcSpank5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

He doesn't own a PS3. But since he is not trolling today, we will let it slide.

EDIT: At Below. You could go all day. MotorStorm is going to win RacerOTY. Then there's Last Gaurdian coming too. I mean, in every genre, there is something amazing coming.

thenickel5006d ago

Rage, Crysis2, Brink, Forza 4, Last Guardian, Batman and many unknowns? To many games which is why we shouldn't have just one game of the year. Even last year as good as red dead was you gotta admit that it wasn't everybody's cup of tea.

Zydake5006d ago

Doesn't MGS: Rising release this year as well?

Halochampian5006d ago

@wesley

I could be wrong but I dont believe Killzone 2 won any GOTY awards. I could be wrong but I dont remember any.

@Bigmacmuncher

Same as what i said above. First one didnt win any GOTY as i know of.

@Motorstorm

Motorstorm looks pretty good but its going to have competition with Forza

Redempteur5006d ago

hey guyz it's hard to list them all. As many said before there are a lot of huge games that can shake the gaming world in 2011.

last guardian ?

Titanz5006d ago

But "The Last Story" seems to be gathering some attention.

visualb5006d ago

the last story?

whats that?

Tuxedo_Mask5005d ago

I have a PS3 and a Wii, and if The Last Story comes West I will buy it, but I won't be buying Little Big Planet 2. I know it has a lot going for it in terms of creativity and gameplay, but I'm just not interested.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

RedDevils877d ago (Edited 877d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic877d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

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.

darthv721105d ago

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

Snookies121105d ago

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

Teflon021105d 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 :(

Profchaos1105d ago (Edited 1105d 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.

MadLad1105d ago (Edited 1105d ago )

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

Battlestar231105d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

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.

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet

***“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.***

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.

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.
