Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

Weird... I submitted one last night about 6PM for my buddy, and got the email about 15 minutes later with it.

Damn EG, you always have all the luck. Finding games early, beta codes, dominating in Rainbow.... oh wait. I e-mailed them around 2-3PM and didn't get anything. Oh well, I'll wait.

Doesn't the beta end this Saturday though?

Sunday, but not sure on the time, if it's Sat night or Sunday night.

The only thing that can ruin this game is bad controls. That is the one thing I fear.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

With all the tons of Vids and previews I would hope any bad controls were pointed out already. If not then WTF....

The boss of LBP said he at times is annoyed at the controls which is why I brought the topic up. I haven't played the beta so I don't know, nor has it been mentioned by anyone else so hopefully he is just nitpicking as most great game developers do.

It's probably just far too robust because we have so many ways to control our character. Like there is probably a shift modifier, etc.

I sort of wish games would stick to one control scheme. It's tough for me to go from COD to Halo to SOCOM, then go NHL 2009 to 2K9, etc.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

I have economically decided to forgo NBA 2K9 to get this game, so hopefully it will be fun. I'm kind of confused on the dynamic, as you need to play levels to earn creator points, but it seems many of the obstacles in the videos I've seen are multi-player specific. Anyway, I can see myself wasting a lot of time building levels that no one will play. This looks to be a very cool game.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

There's tons of beta codes out there. USA Today gave away 15,000 codes yesterday.

I just haven't thought of it playing the NBA games, I want to, as I still have no clue what this game really is. LOL

NBA GAMES? So does this mean you picked up 2K9?

Two mind-melting levels for you to ponder...

No idea how to imbed videos, sorry.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

Just got lucky and picked up the game tonight. Been playing with a buddy for the last two hours.

I will have more impressions to follow for sure, but here's a basic rundown of my first impressions.

First off the controls take about 15 minutes to get used to. The use of the six-axis control works really well with the game, as it basicly animates your characters mannerisms. It's really fun.

As soon as you fire the game up there are some great tuturials that help you get your feet on the ground. They cover basicly everything from basic movements to advanced controls. Not really hard to get used to.

As you progress the story mode you gain more of an idea of how the worlds work, as well as collect various cool costumes and items that can be used to create your own world.

The graphics are...amazing!!! That's all I have to say. They are so colorful. It reminds me a lot of how colorful and cartoon-ey the first Crash Bandicoot game was on PS1.

Haven't devoted much time to level creation, as right now I'm focused on story mode.

It's a blast. Hopefully you guys won't be disappointed. It's generally just a fun game to play. I haven't had this much fun with a platformer for so long I can't remember.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

Lucky, and have fun with the game!

Do you think this is the kind of game that people will be coming back for a while to?

[ChubbyBanana]

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

Most Definitely. Like I said, haven't really put much time into the level creator, but I know right now I'm getting like 27% complete per level. There are certain areas of the maps that I just haven't been able to figure out how to get to yet, and I'm sure it will take some mastering of the skills to get 100% complete on all the world maps.

If you are someone who likes collecting trophies, completing maps 100%, or just enjoys finding secret areas and puzzles to games, you should get plenty of replay value with this game.

Can't wait! Unfortunately, I think I'll have to... till Christmas.

Re: Little Big Planet (PS3)

WOW, I did not even know this game went gold yet. I thought it was supposed to come out on the 21st. Congrats to you Mr. Banana.
