"By now you probably know what it is you want to get out of LittleBigPlanet, and whichever direction it goes in will dictate whether this latest is for you. If the original LittleBigPlanet was innovation, its sequel was an intricate honing of that core concept, then this latest – this time not from series creator Media Molecule – is very particular about what it is trying to provide. Where the franchise has been the spokesperson for Play, Create and Share with each an equal yet disparate part, the third entry is far more weighted towards its diehard creators, and this is clear with the set of tools that comes along with this iteration."
Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.
Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.
What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.
There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap
Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.
Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.
Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.
Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years
I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.
It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.
Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.
Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.
Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.
Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.
Great game, lots of fun!
Love this game. It's so much damn fun.
Lil' Big Planet 3 is super cute! The PS4 makes it look super sharp, with way better effects like smoke, lightning etc Plus I'm a big fan of the series, so I was stoked to find all the user levels from LBP 1 & 2 are available to play!
OMG!! Totally love all the new characters. So glad I picked this up! Can't wait 'til I get home to play it, but I'm babysitting my toddler nephew ;o)
Picked up LBP Vita in a sale for £5, reminded me how much I love this franchise. Probably gonna pick this up after Christmas
I traded CoD for this and have been playing none stop , wish I could connect to other players though .. I'm recreating Super Metriod .. already almost finished Crateria and starting on Brinstar ..
