LittleBigPlanet: SackBoys in the Wild

+ Posted by Mark Valledor // Marketing Manager, SCEA

With little over a month until LittleBigPlanet hits store shelves, the SackBoys are “stuffed” with joy, because the fans have had so much fun the past few weeks. From Pre-order activity, LittleBigBillboards, LittleBigChallenge 003 (SackBoy costume contest) to tons of community activity on fansites everywhere, like Libipl.com & LittleBigPlanetGuide – it puts a big smile on SackBoys.

But how much do you really know about SackBoy? What type of environment do they live it? What can they do? What do they do? If these questions ever crossed your mind….”roll video”

Stay tuned for our next update…or just head to our LittleBigPlanet News Site.

I don’t think a single day’s gone by for a long while now that I haven’t thought about LittleBigPlanet. It’s amazing! I can hardly wait.

I really want to like this game. But it doesn’t seem interesting to me. It bothers me though because I have ONLY heard good things about it and I can see that everyone LOVES it. I want to love it too :( Can somebody HELP ME!

To me the narrator is annoying. I hate Australian accents… But that might have something to do with being from New Zealand and having this kind of rivalry with Australians. Haha.

I just decided I’m going to go order this game today, just because of that video (ignoring the accent of course)

Great video :).

This game is Pure, 100%, Grade-A Awesome.

You may want to put a Surgeon General’s Warning sticker on the package to avoid lawsuits over Awesome Poisoning. :P

I don’t have money, but I’m still buying this game. “How?” you ask? Well… I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. :P

Great video.

The LBP bundle is gonna shift a crap load of PS3s.

Brilliant video but the fake Aussie accent is cringe worthy. If you want an Aussie accent use a real Aussie not a Pom trying to fake one :-)

I’m not a heavy Star Wars fan, but I did enjoy the demo. Unless the people who dislike the game because of the demo are kids or too young to understand, I don’t see the reasoning why you’d dislike the game based on the demo version. Both as a gamer and as someone with common sense should know that the demo version and the final product will be two different things (they even have the disclaimer on ALL the demos).

And as far as the no trophy haters. Seriously. Grow up. Before trophies/achievements came out, you would still play the game based on how good it was and the enjoyment you got from playing it. Ever since Microsoft came out with the Achievement system, all it really did was create bragging rights. But other than that, the game is still the same. So what if you have this achievement/trophy or that achievement/trophy. Why would it matter to the millions of other people online who don’t even know you?

It’d make sense in a heavily competitive game like FPSes and whatnot (headshot achievements, melee achievements, and killing sprees give me a sense of how much skill this opponent has), or it’d even make sense if achievements/unlocks effected the gameplay itself (like new armor, better stats/buffs, etc). But this game is defined by neither.

There was nothing definitive about PS3 not getting trophies, so just chill. Look at Novastrike! It’s been out, and all of a sudden, a trophy patch came out for it. Hooray! Why not have the same faith in PS/Lucas Arts that somewhere down the road this game, and many other great games in the future, will have the trophy system?

I don’t mean to offend those who find my words offensive. It’s just the nature of the beast.

Oh, and one more thing: did anyone else notice in the video that the player was CONTROLLING Darth Vader? I didn’t know he’s a playable character!

holy crap, sorry everyone, I didn’t realize i clicked on the wrong story.

Yay i fail! :)

@50:

I am also from Portugal. I usually buy my games from play.com since they ship for free to all Europe. They are offering the Nariko character with the pre-orders.

I can’t wait to get this! I am preordering my Nariko from Best Buy! Can’t wait to get my hands on LBP :o)

Very cute and well done trailer. One of my most anticipated Fall pickups and I can’t wait :)

One Question. Can LBP be purchased on the psn instead of going to the store?

Looks impressive, thanks for the post.

I know a lot of my PS3 friends are talking about this game lately.

+ Onna76_NL on September 10th, 2008 at 7:37 am said:

@Andy, no Blu Ray only. If you ask me I’d rather have a full game on Blu Ray than via PSN, takes forever to download.


91

+ Scodo_Thope on September 10th, 2008 at 7:38 am said:

Enough with the hype. You have my money (at least pre-order dollars)! Can’t wait to get my hands on the sack!

I am so ready for LBP!

Keep the videos coming.

:P

@Onna76_NL

Looks like you need a better ISP then :P

downloading a game isnt hard at all.. and you better look at the Plus side of things.. its faster loading times bro!

I’m geting mine on disk for sure but I most likely agree that its not the full game just the basics for creating and enjoying online play bro!

It wont have a store mode to it on PSN just createtivity!

Untill then Have a better fight story!

Game ON!

+ stennex on September 10th, 2008 at 9:31 am said:

This game looks great. I am only wondering if it will have long lasting effect. Sony needs to lets us get a demo of at least one their completed stages. Not everybody will want to create stages. Sack boy and sack girl are cute and should attract a lot of casual gamers but hardcore might get bored after a few months of playing a game which is mainly side scrolling. I hope Sony doesn’t mess this up. Nintendo did a great job capitalizing sensibly on the Pokemon franchise especially on the N64. Only time and good choices will bring greatness again to Sony.

P.S stop making laptops.

Every video I watch is just making me love this game even more. I cannot wait to get it. October 21st is ages away:(

BTW, I saw a place to pre-order the sackboy stuffed toys but it’s all in Japanese.

http://www.shopncsx.com/littlebigplanet-largeknitsackboyplush.aspx

Tell me these are coming to the states!? And that we will have clothes to change their appearance ourselves. These one’s are cute but not on par with the ones I saw made by someones mother who works at Media Molecule.

http://www.mediamolecule.com/page/6/

I just want my very own Sackboy to love!! So hurry up with the Sackboys. Maybe then I could be more patient to wait until October 21st;)
