If there is one game which is REALLY making me think of buying a new gen console, this game is Little Big Planet:
Combining physics, charismatic graphics and a powerful system to create and share levels (watch “construction demo”) and characters made by users, Little Big Planet has been raising the expectation bar from fans since it’s development was first announced, more than a year ago (to be released later this year).
Also coming “from factory” with several levels to play alone or with friends, the game has little “sackboys” and “sackgirls” as characters… imagine little plush dolls made of fabric and stuffed with sand.
The major point in the game is creating and playing in the levels… which have a complex physics system, simulation gravity, collision and other factors with great precision and realism.
It’s a little hard to explain, so I recommend watching at least the first trailer to understand it:
Trailer GDC 07
Construction Demo
Killzone trailer
CES 2008 interview, with details on playability and extra downloadable content which will be released with the game
