With so much hype this game is getting, aren't you guys afraid we're expecting a little bit TOO much from the game...? I'm sure Mm is worried about this too. Maybe not worried, but they want to make sure they meet everyone's expectations (or almost all of them...). I have faith though, that the game will be great, even if it's not perfect. After so many hands-on previews and such, you can definitely be sure that it'll be a good game. I wouldn't be surprised however, if the game had some glitches and bugs, taking in consideration the incredibly complex physics and other gameplay elements... Here's he article, http://www.playstationdirect.net/2008/08/nates-blank-slate-hoping-and-fearing_18.html Thoughts and comments? And keep it clean guys. Respect each other's opinions, as usual!

I've thought about the hype a great deal actually. I see no use in fretting to much over it. Strip it of all its hype and at the most basic level LBP is entertaining. Even if it fails on some fronts it will succeed to me. Sure it might not turn out to be as accessible as some would like, or some other minor criticism like that, but it will undoubtedly bring something new to the table, more than most games released today. As for 'This hype has made it so that the game won't surprise people', this guy is missing the point. Those hyping the game up, like us in these forums, will enjoy it anyway. But there are still a large amount of the general public, gamer-and non-gamer alike who haven't even heard the word LittleBigPlanet. They'll be surprised, I guarantee it. Oh and one more thing, if the game doesn't live up to your expectations, you can always make something that does.

Yeah. I know what the game is going to be, I won't let the hype win me over. I'm sure I'll love it no matter what, unless it becomes a glitch-fest! Lol... Even then, those get patched, so...

It all depends on how you personally hype yourself up. I've just be objectivly looking at the videos and info that have been released so far and have come to the conclusion that this game looks totally RAD!

Truthfully, glitches in this game have the potential to be endlessly fun, IMO.

I'm not worried. As long as I can use the tools already displayed in the videos and trailers and the filesharing structure is solid, I'll be way happy. The number of things we can build from the shapes, textures, bolts, elastic, and motors are pretty limitless. Everything else is icing on the cake.

I suppose this is why they presented LBP early on... To show of most of the features it would have, instead of showing very little. THEN hyping would've become a problem!

I'm not worried. I'm pretty certain it is going to be awesome.

I'm actually extremely worried. Not because I think it will fail, but because I don't know that it won't. This game may be the most important game of this decade. This is like the 21st century Pong; it could radically change the way games are made. Not just a genre shift, but a whole new genre and a whole new focus in the industry. If LBP flops, either critically or with the public, publishers will likely avoid games like this like the plague. If it succeeds, it ushers in a whole new era of gaming.

Uhhh that might be putting a little too much weight on the sackboys' shoulders. If it does succeed, I don't particularly want there to be a whole heap of other games like it. LBP is just a good example of putting all the right pieces of things that already exist together. The game is revolutionary in ways, but user-generated content etc. have been done before.

It's still just a game to me, so I don't mind that much. Also, an influx of games like this would be detrimental to the quality of the communities of said games, so I hope there won't be a lot of little big copies coming anytime soon.

One or two of these sort of shows/games would be okay but if too many games come out that leave the creativity up to the player then people will get totally sick of them and demand better, deeper, richer, story-driven games from developers....oh wait...I want that now.

I don't know if want-to-be LBPs will actually hurt the community. IF another game like LBP starts being marketed, most of us will say 'lame, copy' some of us will take interest. When the game turns out to suck, word will spread pretty quick. If the game turns out to be good, uh, fanboyism will save us?

Meh, i'm not the slightest worried. From what i've seen and heard, this game has reached where i would love it to be already and i can't wait for it. I'd be very suprised if i was dissapointed by it.

at first i think everyone will love it. i think it will depend on how well the user created levels are, as to how long people will continue to play. sony really is hyping this game, as it should.

I wouldn't worry too much about bugs and such. I can guarantee that Sony WILL make sure EVERYTHING is ironed out before release. This is their defining game. Sackboy will be Sony's (main) mascot, they can't mess this up, especially considering how this generation of video game consoles has gone. Don't worry, it'll turn out great!

I completely agree with you I try to ignore the hype and just think about the game itself not what people say about it

IMO, this is one of those types of games that CANNOT fail. Not because of the hype surrounding it, but of what the game is about. This game will be a success if the players are creative. PERIOD. The limits are literally the players' imaginations. I am not at ALL worried about the critical reception, because I know it will be (& is) extremely positive.

Sony cannot let this game flop, it is their "The Next Big Thing" after all. If it does flop... I'll throw my Ps3 out the window.

Will Wright said that accidentially generated too much hype for Spore, so they began to put out some negative information to tone the hype down, because there was so much pressure. Anyway, I have full confidence in Mm. Of course, I'm hyping about this game probably as much as GTA IV or Spore or MGS4, but I'm not assuming that anything will be in the game that I haven't seen, or that hasen't been annouced, so there's really no way I'm going to be dissapointed. I like pretty much everything I've seen, and although there will surely be some flaws, they can't possibly be enough to make the game less fun. I've been worried about Spore, after reading the first review, but I have full confidence in LittleBigPlanet.

Truthfully, glitches in this game have the potential to be endlessly fun, IMO. Agreed, the funnest thing in online games is the glitches (Rainbow six vegas (back in the day)/ Resistance:FoM (WAY back in the day))

Its like the song says, gotta have faith. I couldn't care less what the hype says, I know what I have seen and what the developers have said, and I have made some of my own judgements already. I agree that this game will be something else though, something new, and redefining. :arg:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater WAAAY Back in the day. '99 was the best year for gaming... Best glitches were in underground though! Walking screwed them over haha. But the best THPS is either 4 or THUG. Everything else from then was crap. THAW was almost good... and THP8 looked nice but it was all lame and boring. The latest one... my god they know how to screw up a game good. On Topic - LBP just can't fail now. I've seen too much to see it just won't.

I totally agree Just look at World of Warcraft, at the time there wasnt to many good MMORPG games but after WOW succeeded out of no where came tons of mmo's that were created that were not really fun to play and had tons of bugs. I also wouldnt worry about bugs and glitches cuz there usually a easy fix with a patch and plus some games glitches are actually really fun to try and find, like in halo 2 i would spend hours upon hours in a party of 16 people just glitching out of the level and looking for easter eggs.

There were a few glitches I saw in the GC videos where the cloth on characters would spaz out and stretch right off screen before snapping back. That's only one bug though.

I think that we'll always have to be very weary of not over-hyping games too fast. But I think that LittleBigPlanet shows us something so original, what we've never seen before. That's also the most dangerous point ofcourse. It could be worse than we've expected before. Nevertheless, I think that LBP is going to be the best game of the year. If everyone who's playing this game, making levels of good quality, the community will be very strong. With the downloadable content, the game will be active all the time with new content.
