I actually played this game a long time ago as a little kid. It looks good, but the controls kinda ruined the experience for me, and probably for some other people, too. If it used the d-pad or the nunchucks control stick and played a bit more like something like super monkey ball, it probably could've been a really good game. Good video btw.

HYPE

One of the other great things about GG is that you get 5 extra slots for treasure. I wish the Private Reef and Aquarium were fleshed out more. Perhaps a sequel (official or not) could solve the problem by having various bases for the Private Reef to choose from, or the Aquarium could be overhauled with a medium tank to allow you to place more species (but not large animals).

is that marvin sml?!??!

i got codes for little big planet 4. and u cant get them

LBP2 LBP3. But 3 and other games are not made by media molecule. You can still download the updates, if not from sony, then from the archive or ps3 store. Or just play what's on the disc. The whole of v1 or so on, is available on the disc. But this video got a bit tangential

nice to see a nuanced look at "big" games back then vs now that peels a bit further into the black box that is the industry

as a new comer to the series as well this was a really nice look at the games legacy!!! sometimes i also feel like i missed out on the hey day of some of these industry changing games, because well, i was a pretty stupid child as well - hearing you talk about the games you played much later in life was really nice honestly. never too late to experience these gems

Very interesting watching somebody talk about their LBP experience with nearly no past history with it. Personally I played all 3 main titles along with some spinoffs back when each game was brand new, I wasn't a kid during it, so my view on it all was bit different from some peps. Anyways especially LBP 2&3 were great as beginner game dev kits, with enough time & effort you could make nearly anything... for ref besides films as you said, other examples are JRPGs, FPS games or even minigames like arcade machines that plays Space Invaders... The series helped shaped my skills as a inspiring indie dev back then, and I was a pretty active member among the community made message boards! You are right that Sony would probably never make something like LBP nowadays, and arguably Sony didn't truly ever love LBP properly for what it was originally either... what do I mean by that? Well as many folk know, Sony has a history with wanting to compete with Nintendo, often trying to rip off various ideas from them... after the first LBP was a hit, there seemingly later was scheming behind the scenes to shift the series into being a competitor to Mario for future titles, which meant Sony became more interested in only the "Mascot Platformer" aspects of LBP, and became far less interested in the "User Generated Content" side of the series which was the heart of it. This change easily can be seen with the last spinoff game "Sackboy A Big Adventure" which discarded all user creation elements, and instead focused on merely being a generic 3D platformer similar to "Mario 3D World" ...and rumors suggested if that spinoff game had been highly successful, it might've became the new direction for the series! But as it didn't do amazingly... the result was Sony seemingly lost interest altogether... Furthermore with the latest "Astro Bot" game now being a far more successful version that "Sackboy A Big Adventure" was trying to be "AKA a Mario Copycat," ...well lets just say I doubt Sony will ever want to go backwards now. So the conclusion to me is clear LBP is outright officially dead, and likely won't come back from a soulless company that only really wants to make Hollywood style games or ripoff their rival Nintendo, and I can't see that changing any time soon unless the corporate gaming sphere altogether makes a drastic change.

"I don't even think It will come close to being the same" Hold your horses, cowboy! The hope was lost for a really long time but a clever gadder of the interwebs actually archived all 10 million levels, and they can be played via custom servers. So, LBP as a whole is *dead*, in mainstream but can be played at any moment in time, If people wish to do so. :)

The problem is way bigger then just the gaming industry, the thing is we live in a shareholder based economy, and when you realize that a lot of actions public companies do make sense. Like, Concord exists because Sony telling shareholders that they have a live service game that they are putting a lot of money in increases share value, Concord could of never have been released and it still would of been worth every cent put into development for Sony. Or, you know about all the ai stuff that companies spew out? They do it because it increases share value, it's literally just advertisements for shareholders!

This series was so amazing, but it was ruined by hackers (and outdated security). The first two games were killed by bad actors before those same bad actors moved onto 3.

I feel like it is also because of money but also about what is the least risky. in the beginning they experimented and eventually they found what sells and despite technological progress the cost of games just get more expensive to make. so you just have less great games over time because they want to make a game that is guaranteed to sell and follow trends

i used to do fake let's plays on LBP1 and now i'm a youtuber myself... LBP made me want to be a youtuber! i'd have imaginary guests on and multiple seasons of the let's plays, indicated by the color of my sackboy's cape. I became a youtuber myself because of LBP... great video man! from sub number 127.

Fr, emulating LBP is one of the worst ways. I replayed it on an emulator, and doing so much to get levels was so much worse than just getting my old PlayStation and booting up levels. You're closer to the actual community that way. Rip sackboy.

I still feel that largely gaming companies have become a lot less creative because they've become more monopolistic. Sony, Nintendo, Valve, EA, and many other competitors were compelled to fund games like LBP because they had a lot fair competition, and would face more consequence for stupid decisions. Now, it's harder to compete with a mega corporations if they are the only ones in their domain to have power over an industry, and make it increasingly unfair to every other company that don't automatically side with them. Within the modern Corporate Capitalism system, they're encouraged to hold onto the copyright to every single IP forever, and keep producing sequel after sequel until they've become the Frankenstein of all of gaming. Other companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Disney, and others are also monopolies, and their relative industries have also taken the same amount of consequences.

Dude I was astonished when I saw your sub count, you deserve hundreds of thousands more 🎉

the fuck do you mean that Donkey Kong country became a thing because of the genesis version of Alladin? *Looks up the development of donkey kong country from Wikipedia* Wait, that's actually true?

Oh my FUCKING GOD the opening story about your initial view of LBP as a child is so SPECIFIC it's so funny.

the Kinect will be the villain of LBP4

8:19 Try Factorio Space Age DLC, Earth Defense Force 6, World of Goo 2, Penny's Big Breakaway, Nine Sols, and Another Crab's Treasure. All good and released this year. There are always good games if you put effort into looking for them.

Nice work keep it up man!

fire vid

Really enjoyed this video, thank you.

I would unironically love a Dewey’s adventure review lol

You are a true Sony fan 100% Finally someone how doesn't give Sony a shield from criticism because it's "Xbox's fault." I feel the same way! I feel Sony died with the PS3 all that mainstream attention to appeal more to the west really killed Sony's variety. You guys remember Fat Princess, Starhawk, Twisted Metal, Infamous, we even got a Sly 4.😢 Sony let the Japanese snort coke and make games again!

I hate to break it to you, but Stellar Blade and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart are already on PC, so that leaves you with five games. Even then, Spider Man 2 and Astro Bot are HIGHLY LIKELY to get a PC port. So if these ports get released, you only have 3 (!!!) exclusive games on the PS5. Man, the drout is real! It was a good decision to buy a backwards-compatible PS3 Fat instead! That console has three generations worth of PlayStation games, and in fact, some of the best of PlayStation’s history. Meanwhile, the PS5 has five games, which can reduce down to three pretty quickly. Just think about the value!

If I could say anything it's this... The PS5 is the PS3 all over again but instead of Sony learning there lessons and trying to make the PS5 more accessible by lowering prices or making a lower priced version, and giving it more games, they chose to ignore requests/demand, they chose to kill off there IPs for exclusives that will only last for at least a year, decided to port their games over to PC (which removes exclusivity), and sell a 700 dollar paperweight while raising the prices of the original PS5 consoles. XBox has become enough of a joke that they aren't in direct competition anymore. Nintendo is winning, as a fan of them I feel conflicted about that though since they now officially dictate where the console market is going and it worries me. I wish Sega could step back into the game, at least participating in the console market would be fun again with them around.

If the PS5 was backwards compatible with physical disks I’d buy one yesterday. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. Aside form stuff like Ratchet and Clank, Octodad, Astrobot, and a few others I don’t really have an incentive to buy a PS5. Most of the first and third party PlayStation games I’m interested in are from the PS2/3 era, and I can just emulate those (I’ve been doing that to play Resistance, the older Ratchet and Clanks, Little Big Planet, and others. It’s been a blast. If Sony were to make collections of their older games for PS5/PC it would print them money). There’s not really an excuse to not have backwards compatibility since hobbyists in their spare time have been able to get emulation working, and even restore online multiplayer for games whose surfers shut down. The current Xbox is backwards compatible with a good chunk of the previous systems’ libraries; and if you pay $20 for dev mode you can use emulators going up to the PS2/Wii. Certain models of the PS3 were backwards compatible with the PS1/2 (I recently bought a modded Vita so I can play PS1, PSP, and Vita games. I used to have a PSP, but stupidly traded it in when I was a dumb kid. The Ape Escape port was so much fun. Such a shame Sony killed Japan Studio).

You are Little bit of GradeAUnderA in terms of art comic + commentary for gaming,i will stick around for sure!

When it comes to NES, the excitebike is the game i played the most

Is the guy I played save the world with?😭

Man your content is really good, I look forward to your uploads. You deserve more recognition bro :]

I dream of a remaster of this game

2:19 for being touted as the best selling home console it is really telling that not many of the exclusive sales number get over 20 million sales, TLOU 2 sell 10 million and Gow Ragnarok sell 15 mil, Spiderman 2 11 mil, horizon forbidden west sell 8.4 copy. this console sell over 60 million unit so where is half of the userbase? still on scalper storage? and all of these game are on or coming to pc too like don't get me wrong over 10 million copy is a lot but it still doesn't reach half of the sold ps5. and most of ps5 exclusive cost well over 100 million dollars to make.

I wonder if someone made a petition to put this game on the Switch.

You shouldn't love PlayStation, they clearly don't care about any fan, you see their greed, realize it, I realized it with Nintendo, so can you with Sony

Sounds like you are part of the problem. Should have just built a PC after Sony killed all of their IPs during the PS4 era

Damnnn not even TWO games per year??? That's so hilariously sad omg I was wondering if I made the right choice by choosing PC and Yeah, pretty much (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠)

Nice video! Thank you for sharing this piece of knowledge :D

Thank you! Very interesting fact. I wonder if the developers had already localized the game, but didn't publish it during the NES era

Still don't get why Nintendo keep re releasing the nes version without the factory level instead of the full/improved version they had on Wii and 3DS, tho Game Boy DK is the best one.

Can only guess they included it as it's one of the few famicom disk games that doesn't need any language translating, do prefer the disk version it's one my favourites on animal crossing

MySims™: Cozy Bundle has both MySims and MySims Kingdom for the nintendo switch

great vid as always! love your humor and the stories with your wife are so sweet. highly underrated content man

They should put it on switch for real. One of my favorite games as a kid

Absolutely banger game, Needs to be Switch with another Sequel or reboot!

This was a pretty good game, but the sequal took all the good things from this game, and added even more, it was phenomenal. More and different mini games, 4 characters to choose from with different abilities.. So good.

I remember for like my 11th birthday getting both this game and its sequel and absolutely adoring them! There’s a super special place in my heart for them, and recently got to replay them on my Wii U. Cool vid, loved your take on it :)

When I was 9 and absolutely obsessed with pokémon, this game and its sequel were wonderful experiences. Loved the video!
