LittleBigPlanet Demo Not Coming This Year
The MTV Multiplayer site has the saddening news that the LittleBigPlanet demo, probably one of the most-anticipated PlayStation offerings for this year, has slipped to 2008. Not terribly surprising given the time of the year. "'I can officially confirm that there won't be a demo this year,' Ron Eagle, senior manager of PR for Sony Computer Entertainment America told me. But he did say he's played 30 of the games 50 planned developer-made levels and that it's a lot of fun. He seemed genuinely pleased about his time with the game, but his company won't be showing more 'LBP' at least until next month. Eagle could only add that the full game is set for a 2008 release. And with that, the video game release calendar for 2007 is complete. No more delays. No more surprises. Right?"
A demo would be nice but there really are just too many other big PS3 games out right now for this to matter.
Most PS3 owners are still playing through Ratchet and Uncharted, fooling around with Pain, about to pick up UT3. And of course still trying desperately to clear out the gigantic backlog of PS2 games(and most likely still a few PS1 titles) before the 2008 onslaught arrives with MGS4, both FFXIII games, Killzone, SOCOM, GT, etc.
No wonder the Playstation consoles sell so well worldwide, they always have the best and most games of any console.
If you have a PC that will run Orange Box, why do you have consoles? They're retarded PCs with far less selection of games; get yourself some good PC games and trash your PS3 and (what were you thinking) wii. Get orange box and CS and you'll never look back.
...that the most anticipated game is a demo.
It's not an actual game. It's a demo. A promise of content to come, a mere hint that the PS3 may be useful for something.
And the PS3 can't even deliver that.
Meanwhile, all the big Christmas titles are multi-console, with reviews universally agreeing that the PS3 version is always the weakest.
And every one of those few games is a multiplatform title.
You mean like Uncharted? Oh wait, exclusive.
What about Ratchet & Clank, or Resistance? Only a few points shy of 90%.
Check your facts next time.
Obviously the 360 has more exclusives at the top, having had more time in the market. But there's a lot of multi-platform stuff there as well.
For reference, I don't own either a 360 or PS3.
