Sackboy: A Big Adventure announced for PS5
- Thread starter Komo
- Start date
It's by sumo so... but agreed, LBP3 is the only one I couldn't finish due to how shitty it is.
This not being called LBP I assume it means no creation tools.
Didn't like Sumo Digitals take on LBP but this looks better. Hope we see MM do 4 at some point though.
Maybe Astrobot is VR bound?
Further, Sackboy's adventure has coop; though I think the design aspects aren't integrated because it's not a LPB title.
If this involves no user generated content, it might as well be the best move ever they made with this franchise. A Mario-like is pretty welcome on PS4.
I'm always up for a 3D platformer but I'm worried this won't feel good. They need to improve from the floaty controls of the previous LBP games.
if the controls are TIGHT AS HELL and the physics feel good, then i think this would be pretty fun. nothing mindblowing. but if they're floaty shit controls, i'm out.
Incorrect? It peaked with LBP2.
LBP2 was the last game developed fully by Media Molecule. And it showed.
Anyway looking forward to getting this game. Hopefully it wasn't as buggy as LBP 3. That game was terrible at launch.
Basically lol
I enjoy the Little Big Planet series and I absolutely LOVE Super Mario 3D World, so I'm definitely be down to give this a try. Hopefully the control is tighter than usual.
The fact that they probably aren't importing levels from old games probably means the physics won't be as loose
Nice to see Sackboy but I always hated the floaty controls of Little Big Planet so unlikely to get this
I'm assuming this is going to be more platforming focused instead of creation focused due to the game not being named Little Big Planet, but I'm cool with that. Current gen had a pretty barren landscape of 3-D platforms, so I'm fine with Sackboy focusing on platforming while Dreams focuses on the creation aspect.
I always thought Sackboy would make a great PlayStation mascot, so I'm happy at least he is not being tossed to the wayside.

I know that LBP1 is the benchmark of horrible feeling floaty mcfloater platforming, but I wouldn't fear as such here, this game isn't having to be built on top of old tools and carrying over PS3 created stages, heck it's an entire dimension shift, I would very much give Sumo the benefit of the doubt that the controls and movement will be fine.
2 allowed customisation for physics when making your own stuff If I recall correctly, 3 used the extra characters to change the feel of the gameplay.
This game is unburdened from all that.
Exactly, even in the sequels they were moving away from the original feel.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. That's always been my chief complaint about LittleBigPlanet, so that fact that they decided to make a platformer is...interesting.
I thought the level design and the charm was kinda lacking in 2, it didn't really do much for me.
I didn't expect to see more LBP after dreams, I figured Dreams was sort of the natural evolution and would take up that space.
I've wanted a "LBP but we devoted all our resources to making a game and not a bunch of tools for the creation of novel but ultimately unsatisfying fan-made content" for ages.
And I can't say I'm into it. What they showed was the same giant, empty level design that 3D World has, and... bleh.

I love that they couldn't call it Sackboy: Little Big Adventure
True, forgot all about that haI love that they couldn't call it Sackboy: Little Big Adventure
This was unexpected. I guess it will not have an editor and most probably also a PS4 version. Nothing screams next generation in the trailer but that's ok.
I always hoped LBP would go full 3D and drop the floaty controls. Hard to judge the controls but the cardboard look translates nicely into 3D (as was to be seen in that great looking 3D LBP level made in Dreams). I hoped Media Molecule would be the ones developing it but i guess that won't be happening anymore. After LBP 3, which i thought was pretty bad, i can't say i have faith in Sumo Digital but i will gladly be proven wrong.
In short, hope it turns out to be a great 3D LBP platformer. If so, i'll happily buy and play this.

This was a genuine surprise to me, and upon thinking it over...I'm actually hopeful for this. Some weariness about given it's Sumo Digital, and their turn with LBP3 wasn't outright terrible but was lacking in refinement (namely in the technical aspects) from what I understand. But I'm pretty glad the LBP series hasn't been dropped entirely, which definitely seemed to be the case given MM moving onto Dreams.
And while it's not a 3D LBP game, which I say was the next frontier to go after LBP2 (although LBP3 made some strides towards that area), I can happily take a 3D entry focused primarily on platforming. The LBP games usually have a base game of good platforming levels even before you get into the creation tools, and the DLC packs/sequels have added more mechanics for more elaborate/dynamic platforming experiences. And there's still only so many new 3D platforming games to go around nowadays.
Cautiously optimistic.
Given how LBP3 turned out, I honestly hope that's not the case. I can't help but be convinced having to develop the game for PS3 and PS4 contributed to the game's lack of technical polish.

This looked really good! It's Sumo's take on Super Mario 3D World and that alone has me interested!
LBP is ripe material for a game like this! And it looks genuinely fun! Looking forward to this :D
