Success!

(Also, good sales for Little Big planet 2).

N4GAddict4850d ago

Great for both Epic Mickey and LBP2

Alpha_Gamer4850d ago

@ Blumatt

Yep, LBP2 at #3 and #5, and PS3 at #15. Looks like LBP2 turned out to be a little system mover too, lol.

Just finished the SP yesterday and I had a smile the whole way through. Right after, I jumped online and played a Blade Runner-esque topdown RPG, a tower defense game, a Daft Punk and Portal music level, then a Panda-Hunt platforming game.

I've been gaming for almost 15 years and I must say they crafted one of the most creative games i've ever played. Sales well deserved and I wish Mm more.

good to hear

I hope all great games are rewarded like this and casual crap is ignored

blumatt4850d ago

And people still like to say people don't buy PS3 games. I call BS on that. www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/ videogames

That is all

Those are ghosts from the past, like 2006, 2007...

Old, man, old quotation from people of 2006.

Alpha_Gamer4850d ago

LBP2 is hot right now, hotter than I ever thought it would be to be honest.

And add 5 Guinness World Records.

Sony just did a Home run.

clrlite4850d ago (Edited 4850d ago )

I'm glad I bought a copy. Even the create (my moon, or whatever) mode is a ton of fun. I hope the continuing move support is truly revolutionary as well.

I also bought 3 of those sackboy plushies, 2 as gifts and one for myself of course. If you are interested, gamestop should have some(call first). I think it might be the same one that comes with the CE too. Also, I assume they are being distributed through other retailers too.

Buffniceguy4850d ago

Sackboy is so cute you cant deny that mug sells alot of games.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic734d ago (Edited 734d ago )

Welshy734d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic734d ago (Edited 734d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils734d ago (Edited 734d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic734d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

An update on the LittleBigPlanet server and online services

Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.

darthv72962d ago

It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.

Snookies12962d ago

Whaaa-? That's crazy. Didn't expect it to be permanently shut down...

Teflon02962d ago

It's still up on PS4, they just shut down the PS3 end because hackers on PS3 can't be stopped and go on the game making announcements that can't be avoided without having to go back to all the old game codes and updating to remove the feature etc. It's one of those sad and garbage things where hackers ruined a good thing. I'm mostly sad about the Vita, I'm not sure if I have my music stages saved to my Vita, meaning they're gone forever if I didn't save them back to it. They were good too :(

Profchaos962d ago (Edited 962d ago )

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.

MadLad962d ago (Edited 962d ago )

Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.

Battlestar23962d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad962d ago (Edited 962d ago )

I reread the article, and changed it, to be as honest on the topic as possible.
Let's be real, it was an easy reaction to have considering their actions of late.

CaptainHenry916962d ago (Edited 962d ago )

He's been on a roll and it's comical 😁

RedDevils961d ago

This guy love stealth troll on playstation article as I see the pattern, but he doesn't want to admit that he's a MS fanboy.

Christopher962d ago

I am also sorry people enjoyed the online aspects of the game?

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet
By GamesRadar Staff March 03, 2015
***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet. Including one lucky soul who dodged death to get a job on LBP2. Enter John Beech, or 'johnee' to his PSN friends. Two years ago John was a builder with absolutely no qualifications to speak of. But now? He's a full time designer at Media Molecule working on LittleBigPlanet 2, one of the most anticipated titles on PlayStation 3. This is his story.***

of course there is.. He was stealth trolling stating all LBP contributors wasted their time making levels for LBP... I pointed out that some of the contributors for LBP + Dreams have actually got JOBs because of the CREATIVE console. Just like Gran Turismo fans

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.

Profchaos962d ago (Edited 962d ago )

That's the thing I guess if it wasn't them it would just be someone else and we would still be in this position regardless of their intent.

darthv72962d ago

What are you going on about?

The attackers breached and manipulated the servers to place abusive messages all over the game ccontent https://www.ruetir.com/2021...
