LittleBigPlanet Goes Gold, Trophies Leaked
Upcoming world creation game LittleBigPlanet has gone gold, and will be officially released on Oct. 21st in the US. The game will come out exclusively for the PS3, in part due to the fact that it fills up a Blu-ray disc. The list of trophies was leaked alongside the announcement. Groups of students at Parsons will be using a 24-hour period this weekend to create levels for the game. Gamespy has a collection of videos and previews for LittleBigPlanet. To protect users' creations, it will feature an in-game copyright system.
This game sounds absolutely perfect for the Wii. You've got an editor, which the Wii excels at with Wiimote pointing, and a platformer, which the Wii excels at with the Wiimote held sideways. This game is obviously catering to the Wii crowd.
That's true, but I bet they will use the Sixaxis capabilities for the level creation part. I agree with you, the Wiimote would be better, but I didn't see the game yet, maybe it's just as slick witth the DualShock as it would be with the Wiimote.
But the main purpose of the game is content creation, right? So obviously you'd want a console with great online community support, which the Wii doesn't quite have. So that aspect is perfect for the Xbox 360 then!
What is wrong with the PS3 online support? I am playing resistance online quite a lot, and there is absolutely no lag or other annoyances. The only thing that works better on Xbox live is the voice chat, but I can live without that, and I am sure sony will fix it soner or later.
It really looks like you are angry because you would enjoy this game but can't/won't afford a PS3.
I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.
It'd hate to burst your bubble there buddy, but:
1) The Wii does NOT have exclusivity over casual games
2) You have no clue as to whether a reduction to SD would allow for it to fit on a DVD
3) Downloading levels, etc requires space on the console which the Wii is tragically low on
4) You've never played it, so don't comment on the controls
5) Don't bitch about it because YOU are part of the Wii community and feel like you got cheated because you don't own a PS3 as well
Sure, the game MIGHT (probably?) fit the Wii as well depending on controls. But, just because that MAY be so, doesn't mean that another type of control won't fit just as good. I mean, how many games have been on both the PS3 AND the Wii again? Get your head out of your ass. The Wii is NOT the end all be all of the consoles (even with regard to casual games).
DISCLAIMER: I own both a PS3 and a Wii.
