inFamous 2 Dev: LittleBigPlanet Encouraged Us

Chris Zimmerman, Development Director for inFamous 2 studio, Sucker Punch, has handed out a hat-tip to Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet for enocouraging his firm to include user created content and social features in the inFamous sequel.

Shouldn't they say Bungie inspired them as they did it first with Forge Mode in Halo 3 in 2007 before LBP was released?

cochise3135592d ago (Edited 5592d ago )

Well LBP has the most robust creation system Ever seen in console gaming, and I'm sure the have a lot of contact with them seeing as though they have the same employer.

Convas5592d ago (Edited 5592d ago )

Well, see that's where things get sticky.

Forge allowed for Basic Map building and Gametype manipulation, lots of tweaking and other tricks to let the player costumize their Halo games to their specifications. But it does not allow AI modification. Also Halo is a FPS.

LittlebigPlanet on the other hand allows AI modification and a host of other things, so you are technically creating your own mini-games. Or a game within a game, for you Inceptionites out there ;).

So technically, whilst Infamous 2's UGC may not be as deep or intricate as LBP/LBP2, it's still in the same league as LBP.

Halo's Forge and Custom games should only be compared to other FPSs, and at this point, no one else is doing what Halo does with it's customization.

Nitrowolf25592d ago (Edited 5592d ago )

He said "We were encouraged by the wild success of LittleBigPlanet,"

Halo is something that was already successful, even without Forge Mode it still would have been. LBP on the other hand is dependent on Create, Share, and Play. Without this, there would be no multiplayer on LBP and no community. Them seeing the success of a game that is dependent on this is what encourage them to implement it into Infamous 2. Thats at least how i see it.

@otherZinc

Isn't that like the Map-maker in Time Splitters: Future Perfect that came out in 2005?

O-T

Great to know, It's going to be awesome to create your own stuff for playing and share on-line

BISHOP-BRASIL5592d ago

You could build your own parks in Tony Hawk back in the PS1.

No one said Media Molecule invented the user creation features, but they were the first ones to focus their entire game on this aspect.

So true. They inspire each other and compete in terms of quality. Gamers can't get anything better. I think that Sony devs are the true strength of the platform, not the company or hardware itself.

HurstDarkStar5592d ago

that little comment was the biggest thing they could of said in the planet =)

Nathaniel_Drake5592d ago

So I guess this means Infamous 2 would be the gift that keeps on giving.

Lamarthedancer5591d ago

It looks great but this always makes me imagine Uncharted with user generated levels, it would be great for online play like you could toggle it like the DLC option to play on user created maps or co-op levels where you have to get to the end successfuly.

amazing stuff coming out of this studio

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot1141d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain1141d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast1140d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox1141d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake1141d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

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. "

Flawlessmic1532d ago (Edited 1532d 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.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1531d 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.

Flawlessmic1531d ago (Edited 1531d 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 👌

RedDevils1531d ago (Edited 1531d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1531d 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.

Luc201532d ago

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

The_Hooligan1531d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891532d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1532d ago (Edited 1532d ago )
