LittleBigPlanet 3 - Sumo Digital aims for the stars
It sure can´t be a easy task to top LittleBigPlanet 2. But that´s exactly what Sumo Digital tries to do with LBP3. And so far, it´s hard to say if they have succeeded or not. I have to admit that i really liked the E3 and Gamescom 2014 trailer though.
And due the fact that LBP3 will be released in November. I just thought that it could be a good idea to do a little LBP3 update/recap. Because there seems to be quite a few questions about LP3. For example, can you transfer your LBP 1 and 2 characters (and creations) to LBP3?
The answer would be yes. IF you´re on the same PSN account that is. Then people of course wonder what´s new in LBP3. Well, now you can create stuff with the touchpad on the PS4 controller. And it´s easier than ever before to share your creations.
It´s also very easy to jump in and out of games (that other people has created). Then there´s a handful of new characters in LBP3 as well (Toggle, OddSock and Swoop). But will that be enough to satisfy the LBP´s fans? And is there really enough new features in LBP3 to top LBP2?
I also heard that the PS4 edition of LBP3 will require Playstation Plus (if you wanna play online that is), and that´s something that has annoyed a lot of people. So, yeah. It´s going to be rather interesting to see what LittleBigPlanet 3 can deliver in November.
But what do you guys think about LBP3 so far? And will you get the game?
If that´s the case, then you probarly don´t wanna miss out on the LBP3 pre-order bonus (via Amazon GameStop and Best Buy for ex). Because you will get 17 exclusive Sackboy costumes if you do.
Some of those are:
- Journey
- Jak and Daxter
- Sly Cooper
- Patapon
- Teraway
- Ratchet and Clank
- LocoRoco
In LBP3, Sackboy is transported to a new planet called Bunkum, a creative paradise where abundant ideas drift through the sky. Unwittingly, Sackboy helps release three mythical creatures called the Titans who aim to ruin Bunkum and transform the world's most unskilled Creator, Newton, into a terrible monster. To restore balance to the land, Sackboy is going to need help in the form of Bunkum's ancient heroes: Toggle, OddSock and Swoop.
