Looks amazing, and its atleast a little more reassuring to see another PS4 only game for 2014.

 

[MThanded]

My favorite part of LBP is building things. I'm there day one. Hopefully the tools are improved. I'd love the ability to do some edition through a web interface or on a tablet. Even if its just microchip layouts.

 

[paperheart]

I was shocked when this was revealed. I love me some LBP, and I'm so pumped for LBP3.

 

[Drek]

Sackboy's friends need more unique artistic characteristics. Sackboy looks much more detailed and that is a bit off-putting.

Also, I really wish Sony would do the right thing by Sackboy and put him in a Minecraft meets Mario 64 3D exploration platformer.

Perhaps he'll make a special appearance in MM's project? Probably not what you want, but it might be one step closer..

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Well, this is a very funny game to play with local coop. But not as fun imo at online coop or single player. Also, I'd like to see more graphical improvements, I know this game is not about graphics but it could look a little better on PS4.

Anyway, great title, I recognise it, unfortunately not exactly the type of game that I see myself sepending time.

 

[DedValve]

So I guess the F2P game is dead huh?

 

[J Range]

They have gone on record though of saying they want to move on from LBP.

That's what I said. They are doing a new ip that will be better than LBP.

 

[Afrikan]

the new characters remind me of Monster's Inc. Well at least the chubby guy, who I'll be using all the time..lol.

 

[JawzPause]

So I guess the F2P game is dead huh?

ye they haven't mentioned it since the announcement so I'm guessing it is

 

[Thrakier]

You're kidding yourself if 60 frames-per-second is going to be the end-all magical answer to all of LBP's control issues. It's still looking floaty and imprecise to the point even its own developers can't play it properly.

Im pretty sure it would dimnish 90% of the complaints since it would feel way more responsive and precise. As always, there is no way to proof such hypothetical theories.

 

[Michael Armbrust]

Really excited about this game.

The trailer does a poor job of showing off the new depth, but I think there's a lot of potential there.

However for me the best part of lbp is when it doesn't feel like lbp. Levels like the arcade in lbpv for example. The new sack guys seem to go against this. I'm not sold on them yet.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Will end up buying out of sympathy for media molecule, as odd as that sounds

That does sound quite odd, since it's Sumo Digital making the game..

Then I'll pass

What am I reading?

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Watching the trailer again, there seems to be some sort of create-your-own power-up, Sackboy is shown with an outstretched arm, holding different items: a match that can burn things; a paintbrush to paint things; and the tennis racket.

Just how many layers are available as playspace is hard to judge, most scenes where it is apparent have around 7 or 8 that I can see, but the exploding robot and tennis court look to be much deeper. I'm hoping for about 20 layers for creating and playing.

There also looks to be a Construction Hat power-up that allows Sackboy to edit certain materials, that's cool.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Need more 4 player local coop game on ps4, so looking forward to this.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

My hyped dropped for this as soon as I found out it was on PS3 too. All that potential thrown away for the PS4 version. Stupid move.

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

I just can't do the physics based platorming it makes me want to smack my head against a wall.

if they finally fix the floaty jumping, i may buy it.

 

[Sharpeye]

My hyped dropped for this as soon as I found out it was on PS3 too. All that potential thrown away for the PS4 version. Stupid move.

Who says it's on PS3? The store says ps4 only.

 

[Natureboy99]

They don't think it's broken. Maybe the other characters have heavier physics and yu can just play as them?

 

[Loudninja]

Not seeing that anywhere, not on the trailer and not on the blog.

Also not on twitter.

[Salex_]

It's crazy. The only complaint I ever hear about LBP is the floaty jumps (and sometimes loading times). I haven't played a lot of LBP, but aren't the jumps similar to Rayman?

Sumo Digital should probably get rid of it so the vocal minority can stop complaining about it. It seems like that vocal group likes everything about the game except jumping mechanics.

Why not change it?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Who says it's on PS3? The store says ps4 only.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Swoop's face seems a bit more limited in how expressive it can be compared to the other three.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Where are you getting that from?

Edit: I see it...

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Holy Sack!

 

[SolidusDave]

Welp, that explains a lot.



Btw. did they say how creators are supposed to implement the 4 different characters? Wouldn't every level break as soon as you don't have the right character with you (or even play alone) to progress at some character-specific switches?

I want to know that as well, maybe you can swap between them on the fly?, if you can't then you should be able to...

 

[TheRealTalker]

this explains why it wasn't as innovating as I expected

 

[spwolf]

cant wait for this... i loved that they added more characters with unique gameplay variations for all of them... it is going to make the game a lot more playable for me (and my kids)

 

[Creaking]

Yeah. I'd love a better setup for the music sequencer too (less glitchy, more precision on the volume of individual notes, able to disable the notes playing when you roll over them. It's very often that I think of a tune, but before I can get it down in the sequencer, I've lost it because of all the stray notes and the little sample beats they play when you hover over an instrument).

Now that sounds more like it. Perhaps I should look through the trailer again.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Fuck. Bad call, Sony. Explains why it's so underwhelming.

 

[Grinchy]

This explains everything.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Yeah that explains a lot. Graphics were pretty disappointing when being compared to everything that was shown

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I can't believe it's on PS3 as well, but it explains the relatively disappointing graphical improvements. I have a couple of friends who love love love LittleBigPlanet and were feeling pressured to get a PS4 right when LBP3 came out but if it's going to be on PS3 I could see them holding off and just getting the past gen version to tide them over.

 

[Creaking]

The PS4 version better run like a dream then. And don't bother letting PS3 users play levels made on the PS4 version if it means limiting the PS4 version's create mode capacity.

 

[netguy503]

When will this be shown today on IGN? I want to make sure to watch. Thanks.

 

[kevcampbell]

Will this be a full price title? Or priced slightly lower than titles like battlefield and destiny?

 

[Statue of Limitation]

If any of you had played the game since the first one you'd know you can alter the physics of everything, including Sackboys jump, quite easily. Its completely customizable to make any kind of game you want.

 

[shink]

I'm waiting for LBP3D hopefully. Wish Tarsier and Double Eleven had a hand in this one too, the Vita version was absolutely charming.

I guess if they titled it LBP and friends or as such, it wouldn't sell as much as throwing a 3 on there. Hopefully it's still a big improvement over 2 in terms of features.

 

[5amshift]

Played this earlier with a buddy and it was just more classic LBP. Great platforming and working together definitely works wonders. You play as the same character, the one who can shrink and grow.

 

[Deadstar]

Yeah every time there was a puzzle, Swoop could just fly past it, seems like a god mode character. Maybe only for little kids?

So it appears that you will only be able to choose certain characters to play as in the levels. So in the old levels you have to be sackboy. Any new levels created could let you be swoop or anyone else. Man this is going to be incredible!!!

Will this be a full price title? Or priced slightly lower than titles like battlefield and destiny?

Why would the game of the show be priced cheaper?

 

[MThanded]

blah

 

[bananafactory]

Disappointed it's cross-gen, but it's still LBP and I'm sure the PS4 version will look and run better. I'm happy.

 

[Surbii]

Never played a LBP game so I'll probably give it a shot.

 

[Tourmeta]

It was pretty obvious I guess, hasn't pulled my hype down one bit though.

I wonder if PS4 will get a bigger thermometer or not? I don't know if they want there to be levels that are PS4 only as I imagine levels can be shared between PS3 and PS4 versions. Curious if there will be any cross-platform interaction at all really e.g. playing together.

 

[SykoTech]

Cross gen, lol.

PS4 version better run really well then, Sumo.

 

[BobTheFork]

blah

Meh, they weren't going to add anything to a ps4 version that couldn't be done on ps3

 

[Raonak]

Eww.... crossgen?

explains why the graphics are relatively poor. Hope level complexity isn't held back for backwards compatibility with PS3 version. I have a bad feeling it will be.

still day1

 

[netguy503]

Will this be a full price title? Or priced slightly lower than titles like battlefield and destiny?

Best Buy's Gamers Club Unlocked is still on sale until the end of June for $60 for a two year membership. It makes every new game shown at E3 $47.99 with usually $10 back in RZ points. How's that for savings? I got $20 for Wolfenstien and $10 for Watchdogs so this release is only going to cost me $18.

Now I repost my question: can someone please tell me when they are demoing this on IGN? I believe someone said 3:20PST earlier today/yesterday. Thanks.

 

[doby]

ye they haven't mentioned it since the announcement so I'm guessing it is

Which is weird because I beta tested it back in December.
