"LittleBigPlanet 2 is a starkly different experience depending on if you play it offline or online. Offline it fails to live up to its predecessor’s varied and challenging story mode, despite the many new additions to Sackboy’s arsenal. However, once you’re connected to the LittleBigPlanet servers, the game takes on a completely new dimension and proves that it’s got all the right ingredients to be the best community-based experience on the PlayStation 3."
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.
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.
Hmm I don't think Tom Aced every level or got 100% collection. It takes much longer than 4 hours to do that.
Nevermind all the Pins & Trophies..
I dont double scores up like that, never have, never will.
I see 4/5 as 9/10. Reason is simple. It's one digit short of max score. 5/5. Yes i know math. But if you on a 5/5 rating. It's not 8/10.
Singleplayer is better then first game and so is online tbh.
I'd like to dispute the notion LBP doesnt stack up purely as a platformer.
Even if you dont create anything, even if you dont download anything, its still great fun, with some fiendishly imaginative levels. A lot of thought has gone into them. A lot more so than some 2D platformers of yesteryear, run jump down a pipe over and over. LBP has many physics puzzles and awesome traps.
I guess if you werent online then you could say it might be a bit light on content, but the gameplay still stacks up.
PS
For years I've wanted my car in a game.
1960 FB Holden.
Finally I have one. Hehe.
I kind of view story mode as an interactive tutorial mode where you are shown just exactly what you can create with the tool-set and that's fine with me. I would never compare it to Mario games which the writer did (and the only platformers he compared it to) or any other high-profile platformer. It's not supposed to be.
I grew up in the nes/snes era and can testify that the levels in the story mode are far and beyond more complex than most platformers were on those systems - the ones that this game is being judged against.
As an interactive learning mode, the story mode is easily a 10/10 if viewed in that regard.
I like this game.
