"it was crap 15 years ago."

You're wrong factually: 15 years ago the controller didn't exist yet. But of course you're entitled to think it's crap. Not all human hands are equal. It's the best multi-purpose control design so far, I think most people would agree with that. It just means that it doesn't really excell in any particular genre nor is it particularly bad in any.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people are cold on the inside to not see why this game is fun, either that or there are a lot of fanboys out there who are incredibly bitter that this isn't coming to their console.

I think this game will be amazing but I am puzzled that it will only release on Blu Ray. Seems to me it would have been more spontaneous to at least offer a DLC version for those who wanted it.

As for SIXAXIS comments - I like the controller. It works great, fits well in the hands and has symmetrical layout for sticks. The USB charger is the most elegant controller solution for any console. Rumble can't come back soon enough though.

I love the look of this game. But one game does not a console make. Here's hoping the PS3 still bombs-out and I get a shiny PC version. This would rock on a PC.

I've already had that pleasure with Viva Pinata!

amazing game... very very innovative and interesting in concept, glad to see that is coming out fine. Ps3 owners will be bankrupt by the end of the year with so many great games.

Feel i should clear up my controller comments. As you may have guessed i don't like the playstation controller have never found it that easy to use ever since the 1st playstation and since i broke my arm 3 years ago they are nearly impossible for me to use. Would want this game, looks a lot of fun just not sure how much i'll get out of it with my gimped arm.
Shouldn't have taken three posts to get to that point but i was at work and couldn't write as much as i wanted and may have come off as a bit of a dick.

What's "lingering" is it "frag humor" ?

Anyway, what's the problem of stating that this game is "girlish", I dind't say it's bad. Viva Piñata is also "girlish" and very good, so... don't be sad your system doesn't sound half bad, it's just under-fed.

we all know that miiiguel is an outrageously biased Xbox fanboy, so, is pretty understandable his necessity to critisize everything Ps3 related... consider it a sign that the Ps3 is really shaping up to be the dominant system these year.

This game looks really good, theres nothing wrong with games as clean fun, people need to be more open minded, allthough im still not sold on sports games.

Peer review means that after a while it wont be hard to find good user made stuff.

I'm willing to bet that unless this game has the shit marketed out of it, and can tap into that sims-esque loving market, that no matter how good it is it sells like utter poop.
As interesting as it sounds to a lot of us nerds, I don't really see it having mass appeal. :/

@ captainrentboy - going by Eurogamer's 'most wanted' metrics, LBP has the same appeal as Fable 2, more than GeoW2 at the moment, more than Halo Wars, more than GTAIV on PS3, more than FFXIII, more than GT5 and Prologue, and 3/4 MGSIV's interest. Coupled with the buzz in the press which consistently raves about LBP, and forums where some are naming this game as their main reason to plump hundreds of quid down on a PS3 (me included!), it seems in as strong stead as any AAA title. And that's ignoring potential 'casual' interest that the likes of MGSIV can't attract.

If it doesn't sell well from this position, either something will have to go *terribly* wrong between now and release and LBP'll get dire reviews and people will lose interest, or all the principles of rational analysis are bunk and we may as well just flick coins to make predictions!

It's getting amusing though the closer this game gets to released the more extreme fanboy's irrational hatred of this game is getting, I dread to think how bad it will be a week before release.

Decent controller? In it's current state the game is only possible with this degree of puppeteering on sixaxis. The sticks are used for independent arm control, so to add the body motions would need another analogue controller - in this case provided by tilt sensors. XB360 lacks tilt, and Wii lacks dual-sticks. You could compromise the control scheme but you wouldn't end up with the same intuitive, natural control.


Don't mean to sound like I care about which platform this is on (I don't, leave me the hell alone), but just for the sake of argument, you're forgetting the Wii's additional motion sensor. The two sensors could could be the hands, the analogue stick for movement. In fact, that way you'd have one thumb free to use the D-pad - for which you'd need to let go of one of the analogue sticks in the PS3's case. I see no control scheme compromises here. On the contrary. ;)

rdexter why do you daft Sony defenders always get sooo rediculously up in arms if anyone dares question a particular upcoming title? ''Ohhh you're doubting a PS3 game, you're a terrible xbot!!!! LOLZZZZ''
I didn't come on here saying ''Waaaaah the PS3's shit, Sony raped my mother, LBP is going to fucking blow''. I simply gave my opinion, personally I think it looks rather groovy and it's nice to have something a lil original coming up rather than shooter after shooter.
At the same time though I don't see it appealing to a large audience, you can bring us net dorksand our 'most wanted' lists into it all you want, but the general casual gamer on the street probably has no clue about this title, which is why I said I think it's going to need a mega marketing push when it's due.
So please, Sony chaps, calm the fuck down, you're coming across as strangely insecure and slightly mental.

This will probably be the game that tips me over the edge and sells me a PS3. I just hope that by then Sony have seen fit to grace Australian shores with the ceramic white model. And maybe a price cut.

You can get the ceramic white PS3 at GameTraders (at least in Perth) right now.

Yes, the majority of user content blows; just look at YouTube. But the point is, like YouTube, just look at the ratings. The good stuff floats to the top, the dross sinks forever. It might take a while, but there will be some amazing things put together with this come 2009. Maybe they should name it Everyday Platformer - Every Day, another Platformer. A new level, free, whenever you want. How can you not like?

Except miiiguel, of course, who seems determined to be the most stereotyped Xbot in history. No b**bs, no guns, must be for girls, no sale. Obviously got a few issues with his sexuality that one. Puberty must be a b*tch.

controller issues aside ,i doubt this game would be technically posible on the wii, it may look like a 2d platformer but its rendered in full 3d and with some complex physics going on i doubt the wii has the processing power to handle it, aside from that the main point of this game is sharing and playing levels within the online comunity, something that even with double the ps3's user base the wii simply does nt have.

You know how mental some gamers are out there, especially when it comes to the online side. No doubt there'll be decent user stuff day one.

@ Nikanoru : You're forgetting the Wii's additional motion sensor.

You're right, in the Nunchuck, which I do always forget! I think the sticks of sixaxis are better suited to the arm waving as they're absolute positioning, and the natural response to motion control of the arms I think would be to actually position your arms. I can readily get my head around controlling a sackboy with the PS3, but in my imagination a Wii system feels awkward. This would come down to personal preference.

I wouldn't say sixaxis or DS3 were lousy controllers though. I've always found them the most comfortable and intuitive. The asymmetric XB controllers sound good in theory but they feel awkward to me. I wouldn't change much at all about DS's design if I were put in charge. Putting in decent 'next-gen' haptic feedback instead of wobbly-controller-shake would be a first change!

There doesn't seem to be much "game" in this game. Unless you like "playing" level editors, which I don't. Are there any enemies? Are there any bosses? Are there any puzzles? Doesn't sound like any platformer I have played. I remain unconvinced.

I'm with arty on this. I'm prepared to have my mind changed when I actually play it, but I don't want to play a level editor, and this still sounds like that.

Perhaps I just don't get it, but I've never been convinced of the whole user-generated theme in any area of media. Oh well, wait and see.

I truly dont understand all the excitement about this game. Yeah it looks like fun but come on, this is ridiculous.
How can anyone call this a "Definite must!! & system-seller!!"

It just cant be that deep that I could see myself playing it hours and hours. My quess is this will fall in the category of "fun for a while and on occasions"
MAYBE I'l pick this up from the bargain bin when the hype is over and the real-world kicks in. (if it isnt crushed on reviews before that)

LBP gets the attention because it combines an extremely easy to use level editor/modding tool with community sharing features and a great and accessible look. This is something that hasn’t been done before which is very refreshing in this generation of sequels and rehashes.
