Sackies Award 2011

Archive: 33 posts


The sackies award are coming back.
Spaff and LittleBigPlanet (Spaff under a different name ) twitted about something cool up today.
And it would appear after a server update.
As noticed by our one and only OneEyedBanshee, when you clicked a level on LBP.me you get a Sackies Award banner inviting you to log in to vote.
I witnessed it with my own eyes, but it seem it has been taken down at the moment.
Though, expect this feature by today

EDIT: ShamgarBlade reported that he had voted.

Haha cool, certainly seems to be a cool idea to let the community vote instead (instead of Mm voting instead and them getting all the hate for choosing the wrong levels). I just hope it's not too much of a popularity contest since the community is voting. However, if the voting sticks to lbp.me, then the more dedicated players would be voting, and not just people who play LBP every blue moon.2011-12-20 15:31:00

Ofcorse popularity will be a factor, people will vote only things that they know.... MM would be no diffrence on that because they also don't know all the levels. Wonder ho this thing will end up2011-12-20 15:53:00

Does it matter how it will end?
I think that the Community is mature enough

Do you think it will be over a range of catagories? like before?
Or just levels?

But, anyway. Glad to see its return

It will be over a range of categories.
Some voted for by the community and some hand-picked by Media Molecule.

Me too can't help but feel it will be a popularity contest, but then again people will only vote for what they know about. I've had a little look and clicking on a level or a creator gives you different categories to vote in. They are:

Creator of the year
Best gameplay
Best use of story
Best visuals
Best multiplayer experience
Level of the year
Best soundtrack
Best cinematic
Best use of PlayStation?Move Motion Controller

I already know a few that I will picking later.

Well, of course it will be a popularity contest, like most awards shows. (How else does Twilight win Movie of the Year, if not for voting from the general consumer.).

I'd love to see something like this from the Spotlight Team, people who are actually immersed in all levels, at least on LBPC.

But its cool to have anyway. What a fun thing to have in a community game. Really cool of MM to arrange.

Well, wouldn't they have to choose something from their MM Picked list? Wouldn't make sense to choose something as level of the year, and not have it MM Picked. But yeah, it would be great to see some unexpected names, however, it would also be understandable if it was pretty much a list of well known creators. Besides, 90% of them are well known for good reason. .

But an "out of left field" choice by MM would be cool.

Looks great, I guess it will be a hard one to pick this time. I've got some of my own nominations, but I hope we have worthy winners. I guess we need appropriate votes for the awards, however I'm assured that we have a smart community.2012-01-11 21:24:00

Going through my hearted list, so many amazing levels I'm not going to be that frugal with my votings. Bit of a missed opportunity not to have genre awards though, no?2012-01-11 22:19:00

That's what I've been doing. I have a few for level of the year, etc. At the very least some of these should be nominated. They might not win because they aren't as popular, but I'm sure they'll be happy just to be nominated. But yeah, so many to choose from.

Yea the system is quite odd, if there will be many people who can spend time clicking all there favorites it may ad up with list of same known levels, even with popular levels it might end up very random due so close.... it might be good or not

And CYMBOL, don't be that sure, you might be suppriced at the end

I felt the same. A bit limited unlike the 1st sackies. Also sad there wasn't one last year if it is so "important". Just seems a bit anticlimactic to me at least.

Yeah.. I suppose, but I think my real "has a sad" was the original sackies had a youtube video category of sorts.

In 2010.. "I coulda been a contender!"

I just know it is going to be the same levels that are already Mm picked and stuff, even though their are a lot of deserving levels out there that someone booed early and stopped from getting popular, makes me very sad :l

But at least most of the voters will be people who actually care a bit more than the regular lbp players.... well hopefully.

Kinda agree with you lol. You know alot of people will just vote for the most well known creator and just completely ignore the subject of the category. xD

Anywho, i was REALLY shocked to find out that my Demented Doodles 3 level is nominated for "Best Visuals". It's pretty scary and intimmidating for me to see my humble simple little platformer level to be pitted against such visually amazing and logically advanced levels D: I thought everyone had forgotten about my level but i guess that nomination proved me wrong lol Good luck to ALL the nominees. <3

When does the final voting close?

Based on what has been said, voting should end on the first of March. It may be something like 11:59 PM GMT on 29 February, I haven't seen it explicitly stated. In any case, once March rolls around this goose will be cooked.
