Sackboy: A Big Adventure announced for PS5
- Thread starter Komo
- Start date
This is what people have been asking for years. A stand-alone platformer with Sackboy. Loving this.
Also all the family friendly games Sony showed off was very refreshing.

I'm actually quite happy that Sony still has faith in the IP and that they insist on diverse experiences. It looks fun for what it is.
I believe this doesn't have the traditional create stuff. I guess that's why they rebranded it as a non-LBP game.
Eh, the jumping doesn't look too bad on this.
I honestly thought Sony were canning possibly their BIGGEST chance of having an iconic gaming character, so amazing to see that Sackboy is getting another game. Also, this very much doesn't look like it is going to have a create mode, which - to be honest - will only be a benefit to the game.

What's the point if it has no level creation? I don't have much faith in a Sumo Digital after how they butchered LBP3. Sony continue to shock me with how they've handled that IP since the Vita release.
I personally would be completely fine if there's no creation and the focus was on an expertly crafted platformer instead. If anything the change in branding from LBP to Sackboy might suggest that.
All 4 One very different and not really focused on platforming. This doesn't look like Insomniac's game at all but it bears some similarities to 3D World. I'd say it looks more like another 4 player platformer though, LittleBigPlanet.
Fair but it's a shame they dropped a fairly popular branding through outsourcing here. I don't have much faith in Sumo Digital.
For my part, both Sonic Transformed and Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast being on your CV means you're ok with me. I agree they have a more spotty recent record but the concept looks wonderful, the trailer looked really promising and more local multiplayer games + more platforming games is IMO always a good thing.
Hopefully not, leave that to Dreams.
Just focus on making it a great adventure platformer.
I think they may add LBP stuff to Dreams to go alongside this game. I've seen Sackboy(and other Mm characters) in the promos for Dreams before launch.
As someone who never liked the feel of LBP I think that feel would actually translate better to a Mario 3D World style game. I'm actually low key excited for this.
I'm definitely excited for this. Was sure expecting the LBP IP to be completely dead after LBP3's disastrous launch.
This seems like the sort of project scale that Sumo could really shine with. Shit like Crackdown 3 and LBP3 were way too large scale for them. I'm optimistic about this.
Could be a fun romp, but probably the most disappointing graphical showing of the event for me. It looks like a B-tier PS4 game. The lighting/geometry/texture quality are all very dated. I can only imagine it's a floundering engine that keeps this from being on PS4.
As a big LBP fan, I was hoping for a real visual modernization two generations later.

Me. I loved the Media Molecule made levels but not the level creation stuff so this hugely appeals.
Love the variety Sony showed.
I'm guessing this started as a PS4 game similar to how Switch gota ton of "probably a WiiU game" when it started
I'm still thinking they'll announce this for PS4 too at some point, similar to how the previous LBP game was announced for PS4 and then later revealed to also be coming to PS3.
Didn't the last LittleBigPlanet flop hard? The budget for this must be low.
Pretty sure this is cross-gen. Unless something changed very recently this is a PS4 game too.
Watching this again and I'm really pleased it's 60fps, which obviously didn't come across in the event stream. But it just looks a little.. low budget and by the numbers? Sackboy really deserved his own AAA outing (and Sackgirl). I'm a sucker for platformers though.
Felt the same. It could be fun but it's like there's something wrong, as if it lacks something. Don't know how to describe it exactly. I love LBP but I'm not sure about this one.
I wonder if Sumo will succeed at creating loading time on PS5.
Seriously, I'm looking forward to playing this couch co-op.

I still remember how people thought 3D World is the most boring and derivative Mario ever, and yet it's so distinct that after a few seconds of Sackboy trailer, I could tell it was heavily inspired by 3D World. It's good though. Wish more developers come up with 3D World formula.
Someone reminded me of this earlier in the thread but there's an old PC game called Little Big Adventure. Published by EA/Activision (depending on region) and still for sale these days. Gonna guess they couldn't mirror that name.
This game hasn't seen the visibility of the other platformers like Crash and Ratchet, but any clone of Mario 3d world has potential to me. Hopefully this game isn't too floaty and actually pushes the gameplay setups more than something like New Super Lucky's Tale.
