LittleBigPlanet is one of the biggest and most talked about games of 2008 among all consoles, the Sony Playstation 3 game may be the breaking point for the PS3 vs Xbox 360 debate.
For anyone that does not know much about LittleBigPlanet we have three videos below which give you a massive insight into the game, we have a community trailer, CES 2008: Demonstration and a Character Creation video below.
Many game sites are liking what they see when they review LittleBigPlanet, AMN Games said “Sony has accomplished the inconceivable: they have made their console appear attractive to me” and IGN said “While Sony has published some great games for their system like Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank, neither of those games really seem to have the staying power that LBP is poised to offer.”
LittleBigPlanet will not only be a game, but also a massive community and a way gamers can share their creations with friends, family and the world.
Although the Xbox 360 had a big start, it now looks like the Playstation 3 is turning heads its way.

LBP looks like a good game for children. That is what is needed for the PS3 to bring people from the Wii fold. Yet I won’t buy it because it looks childish and I might have played a game like this 20 years ago. I do have to admit that the graphics on this game are astounding.
This is the reason Wii says it isn’t trying to compete with the XBOX 360 and the PS3. Well Wii better start looking over your shoulder. After the fall of HD-DVD your next.
Maybe it’s me, but that game doesn’t look like any fun at all. Who wants to sit around putting up making goofy looking environments (levels or what ever you want to call them). I certainly don’t and I surely am not taking the time to scan through the piles of garbage that most people would create just to find something remotely appealing. You can sit here and argue back and forth about it, but this game is destined to sit by the other waste of time games that have come out for the PS3 so far. Boring to say the least and pathetic if this is actually a title us PS3 fans are supposed to be looking forward to this year. If this is the best we are getting, I am jumping ship!
@random: which would be the 360. Esp since it has Silent Hill V, Resident Evil 5, GTA4, Devil May Cry 4, Soul Calibur 4, Dark Messiah, Condemned 2, Alone in the Dark, Alan Wake, Too Human, Dead Space, Fallout 3, Brutal Legend, Borderlands, Left 4 Dead, and others coming. These are great games of all genres. Look I had a PS1 and a PS2 and then bought an XBox and then a 360. Microsoft is just wiping the floor with Sony this time and they are doing a damn good job at it. I would buy a PS3 but Sony is just messing up big time and they have not impressed me nearly as much as Microsoft has this time around. MS gets my money and my favor. LBP is just nowhere near interesting enough. Maybe if it had some kind of PLOT or STORY to go along with all its other “coolness.”
@Matt
Admittedly, of that list, there are numerous games I had never heard of. So, I went and looked them up on gamespot. Take a look at the games that are multiplatform.
Silent Hill V, Resident Evil 5, GTA4, Devil May Cry 4, Soul Calibur 4, Condemned 2, Alone in the Dark, Dead Space, Fall Out 3, Brutal Legend, Borderlands
The games that are 360 Exclusive are Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead, and Too Human.
Left 4 Dead = FPS (Go figured)
Alan Wake = Ok, you shoot(yay shooting) monsters in the dark. Silent Hill and Resident Evil just MIGHT be good enough for me, so doubt I’ll miss Alane Wake that much.
Too Human = Heavenly Sword? God of War 3? Pick one.
Ok, here are three future PS3 games.
God Of War 3
Finaly Fantasy XIII
MGS4 ( 360 might get it in a year or so )
(Oh hell lets throw in a shooter) Resistance 2
Not to mention we already have (as mentioned) Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly sword, UT3, Warhawk, Resistance, Lair, Folklore, etc.
UT3, Resistance, Warhawk. 3 Genres of shooters, and all great sellers on the PS3. Every other game listed are DIFFERENT from each other.
Are we done with this debate yet? Am I the only one that thinks I’ve proved my point?
I dont hate 360, or LOVE the PS3. Each system has their pluses and minuses. What I do hate, however, is that section of the 360 community that can’t grow up and realize they just MIGHT have wasted $300-$400 on a system because they didn’t want to wait a year.
Anyway, there’s nothing much more I really need to say, the point’s been illustrated. Just remember, regardless of rather you like LBP, or not, it still has plenty to offer people. Some will like what it offers, some won’t. You just so happen to be one who doesn’t. Forunately, your opinion doesn’t stop others from liking the game, and making system sales. Not to be rude, but this conversation has become pointless and I’m tired of getting the e-mails. Night, all.
Explain to me why there are so many 360 fans in an article and thread about a game they’ll never play? If they owned a PS3 they wouldn’t be dumping on LBP because even the PS3 hating media can’t deny the potential brilliance of this game. Even Nintendo is envious with statements such as ‘LBP is on the wrong console’. The game at it’s core is a physics sandbox. The wii couldn’t handle the amazing physics simulation of this title while I don’t think most FPS fogged-in 360 fanboys have the creativity to comprehend the potential of a you-tube supplied Mario game. It’s cute, it appeals to kids as well as adults and this one is gonna be huge. Unless everyone who’s had hands on time is completely wrong… it’s going to definately be in consideration (fighting with KZ2, MGS4, GT5, GTA4 and Fallout 2) for GOTY 2008. Please not there are no 360 exclusives in that list.
I really don’t understand the need to get an XBOX 360. Most of there good games come to PC. ie…Fable, Riddick, Bioshock, Halo, Halo 2, etc… The list goes on.
People need to start realizing that the XBOX 360 doesn’t really have excusive games. Halo 3 will come out soon enough on PC.
I am happy with my PS3 for which I have a ton of games.
“Maybe if it had some kind of PLOT or STORY to go along with all its other “coolness.” ”
haha Im suprised your not use 2 games like that being a 360 owner.
And yeah.. I did say it was like donkey kong.
And im 19 years old and i would gladly play donkey kong on my snes 10 times more then most games that are out these days.
Even DK had a better storyline then most Next gen games out there. esp. on xbox. not being a fan boy but i was really dissapointed with some high profile games on there. sorry.
Try to deny it but you know it was true.
No soul
This article isn’t really about LBP, btw. Look at the title again: it says “PS3 vs. 360″ very distinctly. That’s what makes me want to puke. Every article about every new PS3 game says “oh, this is the one, this is the one game that is going to show people how AWESOME the PS3 is.” Everytime I hear about a new PS3 game they have to mention the XBox 360 and how they THINK the PS3 is equal to or better than it. And you KNOW this is true. Xbox 360 game articles don’t waste breath on the PS3 because the 360 is already winning. So really this is just all about how people with a PS3 don’t want to feel how they WASTED $5-600 on a useless system with SUBPAR games and how Sony is trying to turn up the HYPE to eleven to get people to buy their useless system.
“I suggest you just stick with your 360 and shooting things. Idiot.”
Then I suggest PS3 owners stop using Unreal Tournament and Resistance Fall of Man as a selling point.
