When do you think that there wont be people playing lbp anymore? like, stevenI no longer works at mm, all the forums are dead, and so on? I think it will a long time, cause if you look at games like warhawk, which was launch title for the ps3, STILL has people playing it. yeah so just curios. like, when will mm have moved on and not make dlc or anything like that?

Battlefield 1942 which was released in the early 2000s still has people playing it. Games die out only when the servers shut down. Servers shut down when they are not necessary anymore (usually when there's a brand new game by that company that uses a console 2 generations ahead of its time) Major 1st party games like God of War, Uncharted, and LittlebigPlanet will stay alive as long as the PS3 is still being purchased.

LBP2 is timeless. What's there to improve upon? A possibility for bigger levels? We don't need that. We can link levels. Sure, the graphics can be improved upon but it already looks good enough. The materials look realistic. Most of the tools we need are here for us. The physics can be tweaked. The game will die when we run out of ideas (never). I'm sure there are many valid points to be made but I don't really see a need for "LBP3" right now. 60fps could be interesting. I think REAL liquids is something we all want. To be able to make a glass of milk and pour actual liquid into it. How could I forget...the one thing I want is to be able to make backgrounds with the layer glitch in an easy way. Create objects on the front layers and just push them back. It's about time we see that if you ask me.

The day that Sony coming with a new console and MM not will make a game to that console. Example, its not many who play the same game on PS2 the day to day.The thing I try to say is, if MM stop making LBP game, nobody in 2030 with a PS5 will play a old PS3 game.

Sony owns LBP now you know? they don't need MM. just like how MM is not the ones making LBPvita and LBPkarting.

I'm still hoping the ps4 will mark the end of Mm's lbp "break" but yeah, lbp has he potential to last forever, especially since they only add to existing content rather than remove it... that is... until poltics causes everything to be plagarism... but then again... no thousands of bomb survivals either... um... tough choice. Short version: lbp will last forever and ever and ever... cause historians... and developers...

Right now, a pretty tight-knot community makes up LBP2. The community for LBP2 should stabilize at where it's at right now for at least two years into the next generation before it shows any signs of "dying out."

Yeppers, my opinion's pretty much the same as the others'. LBP has a long way to go, in fact, one of the biggest factors that make it a well-known game is its community and its seemingly endless replay value. But hey, LBP's pretty young, so I doubt it'd die out soon. Consider the comparisons the others made, games that were released even as long as twelve years ago still have players. If LBP1 was released about three years ago and is famous for its community and players, I doubt its lifespan is even remotely short. And LBP2 was released just last year. It's basically like asking how long Chuck Norris is going to live. Please.

nobody in 2030 with a PS5 will play a old PS3 game. You're right, I'll be playing an N64 instead.

We're in a transitional state of technology -- LBP and LBP2 are games of the "social network" era and are essentially online and community based. As others have said, gaming platforms like the PS3 will become obsolete long before the games do, but cloud computing and digital cross-platform compatibility as well as the current (and likely future) trend of user account integration across media suggests that games of even mild popularity will remain available to consumers. In 2030 people will be playing popular 2000s games on whatever entertainment systems exist, just as we are able to play popular 1980s games on systems today. Only it'll be easier, because games today are built to transition along with new technology. LBP and LBP2 are already fully available for digital download which means whatever direction the franchise takes, all content should remain accessible and thus the community will always be active. The only things that I could imagine "killing" LBP are a better, rival game that does everything LBP does and more, slurping up users like new social networks do to old ones, or if LBP goes pay-to-play in horrendously mismanaged way that ends up destroying its foundation and bleeding out users. Both of those are very unlikely to happen, though. And if they did, it would still take a few years to get to a point that Sony would conceive of shutting off the servers... and that assumes they don't bring out new iterations of the franchise or gaming hardware. Which is even more unlikely.

Sony owns LBP now you know? they don't need MM. just like how MM is not the ones making LBPvita and LBPkarting. They need MM... why do you think they owning them right now? MM is part of Sony since 2 years now if im not mistaken, same as Bungie was part of MS for long time (thats why they own Halo). And btw, no body said they won't make LBP ever again, if you "step away" you can always "stap back" ;] but they busy with new IP so surly they wont make potential LBP3 if Sony plans too

Sony owns the LBP name and everything LBP. they can make any other team under them work on any LBP game they want them to make without question. *mew Here's a example of how it works. lets say you sell me a character design and all legal rights of the design and character to me, and I now own all rights to the design. I no longer need you to draw the character i got from you. i can make anyone else working for me draw the character from now on if i so choice to do so.

well technically MM makes lbp, and sony just supports it, so its playble. sony gives money to MM to make games for them.

well technically MM makes lbp MM only made LBP1 & 2. not the others.

MM only made LBP1 & 2. not the others. ...and just to add to this, remember that developers like Tarsier were making lbp DLC long before they got their hands on their own game. To be honest, it doesn't matter what company makes it, rather, it all depends on the people behind those companies names. For example, would the lbp1/2 sound track be as good if Kenny (who is a genius) decided to work for another developer? would this make Mm still the best choice? Food for though.

MM only made LBP1 & 2. not the others. Yeah, not sure who's making LBP Karting, but Taiser studios and Double eleven is making LBP Vita, but Mm have something to do with LBP Vita as well Also, I can't imagine LittleBIGplanet ''dying out'' cause no matter how old you are you can play it ( I'm 18 and LockStitch is 25 or something ) and no matter when you go online, there's ALWAYS new levels to play! And there have been alot of rumors that Mm may start to create LBP3 because of they've invested in some stuff and so on.. not too sure about what, but it seemed legit

LBP dying out? Maybe consult the Mayan calendar. I am sure it would say 2012 just like everything else...

Im on to you jww, you psychic you! EDIT: Wait a minute, steveni doesnt work there anymore?

To be honest, it doesn't matter what company makes it 40564 are you crazy? it matters. if it is made by another company it could destroy the franchise like crash and spyro games. and 90% it's not good as the original makers.

I think it will a long time, cause if you look at games like warhawk, which was launch title for the ps3, STILL has people playing it. yeah so just curios. like, when will mm have moved on and not make dlc or anything like that? who cares about MM, it's us, the community that make the game special. so, it's up to us, really.

I don't think Warhawk is a good rule of thumb. The community will ebb and flow as new creators appear and more experienced creators take longer to publish levels (with greatness comes expectation). The only thing that holds LBP back is the fact that a lot of people push themselves hard, so hard in fact that eventually there's nothing more to achieve, and that sense of achievement cannot be underestimated. But as I said, as it ebbs because of familiarity, it flows because of enthusiastic newcomers. This is only part of the picture though. Look at what is in the offing and it's clear that the community is going to get an injection of excitement again, even for the experienced creators. With LBP2 DLC coming that enables Vita integration, LBPVita, which will offer new problems to solve and challenges that beg to be overcome and LBPKarting with it's promise of expanding the universe into uncharted waters, the LBP community couldn't be any healthier. I recently asked the question of dilution... the premise of which was that with so many new sections, creators and fans would be spread thinner, but that isn't an argument for 'less' it's an argument for 'more', although it may appear that certain sections get neglected. We have to embrace that when it happens and encourage people to venture outside of their usual haunts. This is the ONLY challenge going forward and to me an inspiring one. We need to be more pro-active and help by adding flavour to the forums. We need to fish for strays that, until now, have scuttled away having only ever ventured close enough to see the contend but have never joined to contribute to it. We are the community. WE ARE LBP! bring it on!

Personally, I think it'll be one of those games I'll always have, and even if the servers die I imagine I'll boot it up every now and then, play a few levels (especially as Mm will have let us save levels to our moons for playing, right?), create a bit and enjoy the general experience, in the same way I boot up Ratchet and Clank 1 every now and then or play Super Smash Bros Brawl. when the PS3 is updating or I have friends round.

I't will only die out when you leat it.I think it will last for a long time.

I don't think lbp2 will die out in the traditional sense that people just get bored of it.. but it is kinda showing signs of neglect & decay already.. I've never seen a game that essentially causes more problems with every patch.. to where the patch after that has to fix those issues & so on.. Plus there are quite a few issues that have been present for a long time.. Like self made hearted objects & stickers not showing up in favorites and the horrendous Toy Story planet background.. Imagine if something very important broke like the pod computer or something.. Plus Mm left not even a year into lbp2.. and no one is really picking up the slack of lbp2 but StevenI.. Who is just one person. are you crazy? it matters. if it is made by another company it could destroy the franchise like crash and spyro games. and 90% it's not good as the original makers. Or it could be a vast improvement that makes lbp2 look completely inferior like Tarsier & Double 11 are doing with lbpv... This is what makes lbpv so interesting. It's like the lbp2 that actually has post-release feedback considered & included and a multitude of new tools and user friendly adjustments. I see it as the lbp2 that was not neglected but nurtured & improved much like the transition between 1 & 2. Since it has been in the works throughout lbp2 it most likely has acknowledged past & present issues that lbp2 has had and compensated for them. Although I have no idea how buggy the lbpv beta, is so I could be totally off. Anyways, for as long as I can't afford to finish college and lbp2 & Vita don't get to an unplayable point, I'l be creating & playing in both. ...Or maybe like another year or 2 realistically..

I don't know that it would die out in a predictable time frame... there's still people that play Star Wars Battlefront II (not that many, but the servers stay open) and plus I could see an adult showing their child their favorite childhood video game, not that that'll stop it from dying, but you get my point, it's unpredictable, like a bawx of chocolates
