I ALMOST bought this over the weekend. Almost.

Too much other stuff to play to get myself sucked in though.

JoySticksFTW5598d ago

As good as LBP was, LBP2 kills the first game

I cannot believe the game variety MM stuffed in this game

LBP2 is the type of game journalists should review twice... once at launch and then 5 to 6 months later when the LBP community really begin to exploit all of the new tools and varied game mechanics.

I was never the type of gamer to b!tch about a 8.5 as a "poor" score, and I'm not about to start here. But LBP2 is like nothing I've ever seen

It would be like if Ninty gave you the tools to Mario, Zelda, and Metroid and said "Hey kid, think you could make a good game with these? Go nuts".

If LBP2 isn't an "insta-classic" already, the amazing games that the community comes up with will push this game to legendary status.

MGRogue20175598d ago (Edited 5598d ago )

Same.

I'm sure it's a great game.. but I've got Test Drive Unlimited 2 to look forward to. :)

FrankMcSpank5598d ago

Priority #1 would be to buy a PS3 dude.

Shazz5598d ago

lbp2 is just astounding to say the least , sat for 4 hrs straight playing the online created levels and i could not believe some of the things i was playing, if im honest the created games puts some of the store games to shame

TardcoreGamer5598d ago

Poor Review. This game is a 10 for sure. 8.5 is a slap in the face for a game of this caliber.
No other game is as appealing to a wider audience than LBP2.
Graphics are fantastic.
Controls have been expanded further than the last game.
It's +3,000,000 community levels from the first game are playable.
There is an actual story this time with human voice overs.
You really couldn't improve this game any further meaning....10
8.5 games are ones that need improvement. this game needs none.

Bathyj5598d ago

Yeah, I couldnt care less what some jaded hack thinks of this, its a GotY nominee already and was always a day one purchace.

Any score less than a 9 says more about the reviewer than the game.

TardcoreGamer5598d ago

Agree. GOTY contender for sure. Funny thing is that I'm not even a huge platformer fan but this game is in a league of its own.

Bathyj5598d ago

Hardly anyones a platformer fan nowdays because platforms have hardly evolved.

The only ones I seem to get into now are physics based, theres so much room for gameplay innovation.

I just played that level where the gun shoots cakes. There was a bridge up that I couldnt reach but I shot a cake at it, it stuck, and the weight of the cake dragged the bridge down and I ran across.

There just so much potential in ideas like that.

Bathyj5598d ago

I went to start making a level, and I honestly didnt know where to start.

My advice, start with a pencil and a piece of paper.

clrlite5598d ago (Edited 5598d ago )

If you think the part with the cake is impressive, wait until you see what comes next with the tubes and the sackbots. It was pretty mind-blowing.
Just the single player of this game alone warrants a score higher than a 9 IMO. I couldn't believe how good some parts were and it just keeps getting better and better.
The single player was made mainly from the creation tools available on the Bluray, so expect user created levels 6 months from now to be even more stunning.

Edit: BTW, the SP is an artistic masterpiece.

Optical_Matrix5598d ago

This game rapes LBP1 on such a scale. Even though LBP was brilliant, LBP2 imo, is just leeps and bounds better. I'm not even half way into the story, haven't even touched the creation tools, but the amount of variety crammed into the game is phenomenal so far. God knows how much better it will get.

It also feels more like a game this time. Funny what voice overs, cutscenes and better thought out level design and boss battles can do. Feels like such a complete package. Wont touch creation until I've clocked the story. Loving this game. What a fantastic start to the gaming year.

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

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic1485d ago (Edited 1485d ago )

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.

Welshy1484d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic1484d ago (Edited 1484d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils1484d ago (Edited 1484d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1484d ago

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

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

Luc201484d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1484d ago

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.

darthv721712d ago

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

Snookies121712d ago

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

Teflon021712d 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 :(

Profchaos1712d ago (Edited 1712d 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.

MadLad1712d ago (Edited 1712d ago )

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

Battlestar231712d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad1712d ago (Edited 1712d ago )

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.

CaptainHenry9161712d ago (Edited 1712d ago )

He's been on a roll and it's comical 😁

RedDevils1711d ago

This guy love stealth troll on playstation article as I see the pattern, but he doesn't want to admit that he's a MS fanboy.

Christopher1712d ago

I am also sorry people enjoyed the online aspects of the game?

lol
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.

Profchaos1712d ago (Edited 1712d ago )

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.

darthv721712d ago

What are you going on about?
