Next week:
LittleBigPlanet 3: Remastered
Sony seem all-in on Astro Bot as a mascot over Sackboy, so LBP might just be buried as an IP outside of crossover references.
I remember growing up and always seeing my parents playing LBP 1 & 2 so when I finally got a PS4 that’s the game I wanted and I got 3 for Christmas.
I played it like twice
Man I wish
LBP 3 was a major disappointment since it was made by a different dev team but… Removing it entirely? Why? Licensing issues?
With LittleBigPlanet 3 gone and 1-2 stuck in PS3, that means you can’t even play the franchise anymore. Wow. That sucks.
All the online/user created content was lost for all these games too, iirc. Sony took the servers down for maintenance and never brought them back. A decade of work, dusted.
They shamelessly tried to replace it with sackboy
Why, though?
Licensing probably?
To this day LBP 1 has some of the most incredible level design I’ve ever seen. I know some of the later entries had wilder stuff going on, but the original limiting itself to almost entirely using basic blocks and shapes with visible logic switches/machines, was so magical to me as an aspiring game dev. It was like they were putting their money where their mouth was. You can create stuff this crazy, too, because we just built it out of basic shapes.
Anyone interested in a successor should check out Restitched.
To the top with this!
Looks great!
Gone in less than a month, yet not discounted to 1¢. They could do it, just don’t care.
what happened to the game I loved
Damn. This makes me sad. LBP was one of my favorite franchises growing up. I’m hoping that we’ll get a PC trilogy release of some sort, but that’s just hoping probably.
