And to those of you saying that this is nothing more than a level-maker, you probably need to take the mute off as well. Right near the beginning they say that to unlock items you need to play through the game, so this DOES have some sort of gameplay other than a level-maker.

But I do partially about the 'no enemies' argument in that if there aren't any it might get old quicker than if there were. However, while they haven't confirmed the presence (or lack thereof) of enemies, it still might be pretty fun without them. They were sort of limited on time so there's probably lots more cool interactions and customizations available during real gameplay.

I'm not impressed by PlayStation Home, but to say it is a blatant theft of other sources is kind of silly. I think Spore looks to be an amazing game, and all it is is a bunch of other games all put together.

I have had absolutely zero interest in a PS3 until now. This definitely isn't worth $600 plus it would cost to get the PS3 and this game, but maybe in nine years when the PS3 is $200 and the new "slim" model is released. . .

Creation is fun. Cooperative creation looks even more fun. I'm definitely intrigued by what is possible here. It's not enough to sell a PS3 to me, but I'm more interested than I was previous to watching this video.

Um...it's a puzzle platformer. You're supposed to use your imagination in combination with platformer skills to deal with a myriad of challenges in the form of physics based puzzles.

Makes sense to me.

The additional appeal comes from the heavy use of physics based objects to solve each puzzle. Every person has a natural intuition of physical movement, so these puzzles should be accessible to everyone. There are no abstractions like random levers or buttons. All the interconnectivity between key and lock is on display right from the get go.

One last thing, all the snide bastards here can shut the hell up because there is not a single one of you who would not want to at least try this. I guarantee it.

like, this is where games should be. not copy and paste shooters. not madden over and over again. not a bunch of needless violence and vulgarity (emphasis on needless...good violence is good. hahaha). skip that boring crap. if you're an intelligent, creative person...this is perfect.

now I just need the dough, and I'll be set! hahaha.

As of right now it's like playing in an empty level, void of enemies or intellegence. Think about walking through a Gears or Half-life 2 level with no enemies. Sure it looks good, but I do need a challenge somewhere. MAKING the levels seems like the only draw right now... not playing them.

Coming from a non-FPS fan, I can say that there is already one great co-op FPS out there.. Resistance. My roommate and I usually don't play many FPS, although we do enjoy some shooter games, mainly the scary themed games (read: Resident Evil, Silent Hill). But Resistance has been great, we've played through the game twice co-op, and are anxiously waiting to see if the upcoming additional content will push us for a third run-through.

Back onto the subject... This game looks fun, I'm not sure if it will hold that appeal after I've bought it and wasted a couple weeks of my life on it (I agree that a lack of enemies may take my interest away), but I will definately be trying it as soon as I can get my dirty lil fingers on a copy. Usually I don't even attempt to build my own levels in games, but this actually looks like something I might want to try... and the fact that you can build a level co-op is definately a plus!

There are going to be people who totally love this game and swear by it, and there are going to be people who really couldn't care less. I'm distinctly in the latter category. Watching the players romp around in a predesigned world didn't look bad, but this clip bored me to tears. I had to force myself to finish viewing it.

I hate to say this, but anything this open-ended also leaves the potential for visual design abuse just hanging there. Expect to see plenty of phallic-themed worlds, etc.

It's crazy, and I love it!!

I have always intended to buy a PS3 eventually, this game will make it happen sooner.

That's just what I was thinking. A few more sweet games like this, a lower price point, and I am sold.

I, for one, am thrilled about this game. Parts of the other video had me giggling like a school-girl. This coming from someone who spent 11 hours on line rider in one sitting, but hey. I'm sold. I feel a whole lot better about my PS3 now.

People seem to be overracting to good news, because there has been such a drought. I don't see the "killer ap" here. This is basically "modding lite" for console gamers.

lunaticcore

If it's so easy to use and amateurish, why hasn't anyone done it before? These guys deserve all the credit they can get. The game looks incredible, the level editor looks simple yet robust, and its all built around an experience you share with your friends.

AdeptVoice

since sony is funding, publishing and buying them an insane amount of coverageat events like this, i would say that the developers and sony both deserve a bit of credit here. without sony, some great quirky or novel games like ico, katamari damacy, parappa the rapper, loco roco etc, would have have never seen the light of day in the EA/ Ubisoft dominated game industry.

If I do get a PS3, I'd only get this game if the creators planned on making levels periodically and whatnot. Otherwise it'll be a bunch of user-created crap.

Here's hoping for an awesome LBP community, though. It's what will really make this cool toy into a classic title.

And don't take this as rantings of a Sony fanboy either, up till now I was about as anti-Sony as you can get. You can pretty much take this raving to the motherfucking bank.

Narsil

On the negative side, 'littlebigworld' and 'home' both have the potential to get ridiculous with micro-transactions and in-game advertising.

if you can create your own enemies and save your levels, i think i might be sold (when the ps3 becomes affordable, i mean).

can you imagine making a zombie themed level and creating all kinds of gametypes and worlds and ACK!... nerdgasm.

From a previous demo we saw 4 characters traversing the landscape to get from Start to Finish but there where no interactive elements aside from what you could jump on and grab - all of which have no adverse reaction. There is no risk to playing this game which is something that all games use to motivate the player (even something as simple as nintendogs - you have to look after your pet otherwise it will die)

I agree the graphics are visually stunning but how many 'landscapes' do you see yourself creating with this game before you get bored? Also, how much do you think this game is going to cost?

To fully enjoy this game they are going to have to introduce more elements aside from the 'SimCity' style it currently has.

Hey, this isn't the only attempt at a game creating games, look at Mario vs Donkey Kong March of the minis. It has a level editor (okay not graphically as attractive as LittleBigWorld) but I don't even think it's something I would bother with more than once or twice and would probably be more inclined to download other peoples maps if I feel I want to play another game.

I'm still not convinced that I want a PS3.

1. Size. How big can these "levels" be? Will they be persistant at all? Can you save, load, download, upload them?

2. Challenge. I see plenty of challenges in creating the world, and building the platform riddles and just messing around, but are there any besides that? Enemies, holes, etc.. can I recreate the levels from Mario 64, or at least, Super Mario Brothers?

The game looks fantastic as far as graphics and smoothness, and really interesting as far as what I've seen.

I may get hooked on it at some point but with other competition I fear this may be a forgotten tech demo.

I bought Rag Doll Kung Fu (Healey's prior game) and it was very fun. I have absolute faith that this will be a ridiculously good time of a game.
