Via Destructoid:
"As varied as the LittleBigPlanet can be, it always remains limited to its 2D gameplay, and that doesn't suit everybody (especially amongst PS3 owners). The game may also turn off to die-hard fans of 2D platformers, as the its below average controls and lack of power-up system are as baffling as they are disappointing. Basically, the "game" part of LittleBigPlanet isn't that great: a real 6.0. On the flip-side of all that is LittleBigPlanet's amazing level creation tools and enormous amount of quality online UCC, which both come together to offer a separate (and superior) experience: a genuine 10.0 purchase."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
Destructoid review games now?
Dear Niero,
Please keep my account banned. Also, invest in some better reviewers. You could probably get away with raising the pay from $2 to $4 for quality C level reviews. However, I do enjoy laughing at the fail that is Destructoid reviews, so take this with a grain of salt.
Your Friend,
Action Bastard
...I hate how LBP is judged by it not "suiting" everybody. Most people know what this game is all about and if they are not into it, they won't buy it. What would review scores be for games like Call of Duty 4 if the critics considered that some people don't like shooters? You certainly wouldn't see 10s across the board. I personally believe that games should be judged within their genres and not across the board. If you agree bubble me up, if not, then cast your disagree.
lol
hahaha i wanna make fun about LBP, but this game is so cool, the only game i want from PS3, this review is wrong, LBP is not a Mario killer but it's amazing.
