Nearly everyone agrees that Media Molecule's upcoming PlayStation 3 game Little Big Planet looks damned cool. But just watching the videos or reading about the game doesn't really give you a good feel as to just what in the hell the game is truly about. Everyone should have gotten their hands-on the game this fall, when Sony was supposed to release a demo of the game.
Santa must hate you, because it ain't happening. Speaking to MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo, Sony's Ron "Lesser Spotted" Eagle breaks the bad news saying, "I can officially confirm that there won't be a demo this year." He then goes on to say that he's played 30 of the games 50 pre-loaded developer main levels, and that they were fun. How cruel.
I can officially confirm that this news saddens me, and I used a particularly vulgar string of words upon hearing it. I'm not sure how much longer I could wait for the game, before me and three friends are forced to roll logs and fruits into Sony's offices.

Cereal, this sucks
Scrooge give me back my LBP. NAOW.
Yes, you are. Go die please.
I am constantly amused whenever I think that if Nintendo had released this game, everyone would be calling it too "kiddy." Since Sony is releasing it, I guess it's not.
Every time I see a video on it, I always see characters running left or right and jumping up and down (a side scroller). I never see an over the shoulder view or first or 3rd person view or any view which shows the models from different angles (outside of cutscenes possibly).
So yes, I ask again, isn't this just a 2D side scroller at it's core?
As for perspective, everyone has their own preferences. I, for example, don't like 2D side scrollers. I also don't like JRPG's, platformers, or sims. Mass Effect was a great game but I know lots of people who didn't care for it. I don't think you could like a game that didn't come on Blu-Ray, though. Am I right, AB? ;)
Yes, it is a 2D side scrolling platformer... a very very pretty one. But it's still 2D no matter what the dev or Sony says, simply because they never change the angle of view.
Out of the four or five videos they have shown, none even looked that interesting. The recent VGA video was even worse. What exactly was the fun or playability in the "boat stage" video?
Far as I now this IS only on the PS3.
