I think you hit the nail with Dreams, as someone who has been a very active member since it's early access... the payoff of that game is great but takes too long to learn. It's especially apparent given the sheer scale of WHAT you can do in it. LBP at it's heart is a 2D platformer that had nifty tools to jerry-rig it into something else. Dreams was literally anything, it doesn't even have to be a game, you can use it however you want and it's hard to quantify how a more casual player could get something out of it. For instance I'm strictly a musician and treat Dreams as a DAW. I enjoy participating in music collaborations and sharing songs within the community; there is an entire side of the game I have BARELY touched and that's actually treating it like a video game. Meanwhile in LBP 1 & 2, I touched all corners of what could be done because it all looped back into the core of what the game was. Dreams was honestly the natural evolution of LBP but really lacked what made it easy to get into
I had a nice time with dreams and I’m not an expert by any means. But I made some of those tutorial games and played around with art music and some game stuff. But yeah, you get to the point where it gets too hard/takes too long. And the community while really nice were either making memes or just taking forever to make things that either didn’t get released or they didn’t share. I liked it but I think it would be better to just learn programming 😂
@@jaybee4288 Programming is half the battle honestly, what makes Dreams easier to get into was it's curation system. Not much in that game is made from scratch and that's a good thing in all honesty. I know for sure my music wouldn't have developed a signature style without a special few individuals custom/imported instruments. Honestly don't know what I'd do without them. You can say the same about people's sculpts and logic elements.
I agree. LBP was the reason I got into Music Production, and im now in a tech school for it. LBP was my DAW, and its bled into my music style. I love trashy synths like the ones in LBP
Little Big Planet was the reason I got a PS3 back in the day, loved the games, I platinumed them all and had so many great memories with them, would love a new Little Big Planet game again, not a Sackboy Big adventure game
You make such a good point at the start - the shift from beautiful, colourful mascots to 'guy with brown hair and stubble who never smiles' is so depressing and a big part of why I mostly look to indie games. I REALLY hope Astro Bot helps them course correct away from that mold, and the entire 'sandbox, jack-of-all-trades' style of game they've been giving us for years now.
I don’t understand ps fans. They’re the ones who made the shift. They’ve made fun of Mario till yesterday. Now astrobot is a masterpiece and we need more of this?
6:30 you forget that Little Big Planet since the original 2008 has had like a billion paid dlcs. They could just make another Little Big Planet as normal but not outsource or rush it. Just do paid dlc costumes like normal that they have done since the PS3. Amazing video though, LBP is my favorite game off all time, thank you for helping keep it alive.
It's like, the only game where i feel like paid DLC was actually fairly priced. There were a lot of DLCs, but none of them were particularly expensive which was great. LBP gave you a skin for $1 and a level pack for like $5-6. Modern games would charge you $10 for that 1 skin, or even just for a hat or something, and like $20-40 for a level pack.
I feel extremely validated having purchased Sackboy on launch day. It has given me and my boys 100+ hours of fun. I even beat that damned Ripsnorter trial for the Platinum too. If Astro Bot is a huge success, I can see Sony pouring more money into games like these that people actually want and enjoy.
Me too chasing the plat for it rn! Because I love sackboy, astrobot too but sackboy in my eyes will forever be the mascot to me. He did things before astrobot even got to the console.
Media Molecule wanted Sackboy to be Playstation mascot, but Sony turned it down saying that Playstation doesn't need a mascot because they tried in the past with other characters but it never worked. It wasn't till a new studio called Team Asobi at the time who Sony owns decided to make a game called Playroom for Sony Playstation Camera and it had a character called Astro Bot to show case how the hardware works as a fun game and because Sony like that so much they also used Astro Bot for another game called Playroom VR for Playstation VR to show case the hardware works as a fun game, then when PS5 was being made Sony decided to use Astro Bot since they loved the character so much to show how the PS5 Dual Sense controller works with a demo installed on every PS5 called Astro's Playroom. Astro Bot now has become Playstation mascot because the character belongs to Sony and can show how Sony hardware works with neat little games.
And now they're saying "Sony has no strong IPs". Pathetic. They could've had dozens of mascots to mine for shows and movies, but like always, Sony just shoots itself in the foot.
I think Media Molecule just doesn’t want anything to do with it anymore, unfortunately. Which is why we’re in this situation in the first place, had they never left it behind everything would probably be fine.
True, but only in the case they innovated more with Sackboy. It really never changed and was always "the same game" since the first title. It was great, absolutely great, but Astro Bot smashed so hard that it will require too much effort to even compete with it. With that in mind, why would they ever invest in 2 games with the same genre, that cater to pretty much the same target audience? I think it is safe to assume that Sony planned to Sack Little Big Planet (pun intended) in favor of Astro, since they felt it was a much better mascot for them.
To be honest, I think Astro Bot has a little more emotional value than Sackboy. Astro has this charm that I just can’t find in Sackboy or any other character like those two. Is that just me?
because of greed and change of direction to realism. they won't spend any money on any toony characters like crash and spyro. microsoft won't do anything to the iconic PS Mascot heroes.

Never fogot Little Big Planet. I even have that turquoise PSP with the pouch. It was awesome ! Also, the thumbnail and the title of this video are so clever and creative.
In terms of Nintendo, I really don't think they need to worry about anything; they're always been creative when it came to Mario mainline titles, and even Mario Wonder was a breath of fresh air in it's 2D scape. Hell, I'd say Nintendo's been the only one out of the big three to be putting out bangers with their first party IPs(Xenoblade, Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, Pikmin, Pokemon, Splatoon etc), as well as their good line up of 3rd party support; having the Switch stand strong for the 7 years it's been out. Astro Bot truly does show gamers DO still want this fun little romps of charming games, especially if they're fun and creative. As well as Nintendo's Mario Maker proved there is a market for gamers who DO want to create their own little games, or levels, and Streamers who'd LOVE to play those levels too; free marketing right there. I like the idea of giving Little Big Planet to Team Asobi, in order to bring some new life into it; and maybe be a great tool for creatives, to make 3D game levels, like Mario Maker is great for 2D game levels. In terms of monetization, all the need to do allow players to either unlock cosmetics/costumes to be used in game with in-game currency, or just outright buy with for cheap, or maybe unlock some more creative skins for the levels: Uncharted style or Ratchet and Clank style for example. There's a lot they could do with something like this, and could be easy money too.
I remember buying the first LBP on day one for the PS3, and was completely enamored. I loved the whole series, and it's always been my number one to see a new game, even after everything I've played on the PS5 & PC.
I just hope Astro Bot’s success lets Sony or other game devs invest more into platformers. Its a genre that I think should always be apart of gaming no matter how great modern hardware has gotten
Loco Roco was so fun though 😂. I wish they did more unique stuff with those levels like Wipeout and Parappa. I didn’t need GoW, Horizon and Uncharted, one of them would have been fine.
I’ve been playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure for past year and is still so damn good. Incredibly hard at times.. just all around holds its own super well vs today’s games. Will always love lbp tho so amazing esp in its day
You hit the nail on the head. We can have big AAA games and smaller scale games. At the end of the day like you and many others, I just want variety. I love Ghost of Tsushima and it’s quickly become my top PS franchise. But I absolutely want Sly Cooper standing next to Jin Sakai
I honestly don't mind. Asobi studio used to be Japan studio responsible for parappa the rapper, loco roco, shadow of the colossus, ape escape and now astro bot. They earned their place as the mascot of playstation.
Sackboy did costumes of other PlayStation characters first, AstroBot is shaped like Sackboy so much and the world of. Astrobot borrows a lot from LBP. I love AstroBot, but man did they do Sackboy dirty
The game mechanics introduced in the first two LBP games were HUGE at the time. I equate it to when BOTW came out. I spent so much time playing LBP back in high school with my buddy. We made so many different levels. I'll never forget the online community for those games when they were in their prime. So many fun and creative levels. We even tried to create water in the first one using different materials at different sizes... Didn't work. But when LBP 2 came out, it's mechanics added so much to the community. We finally had water among other things. I'll never forget those games. Those years were truly a renaissance for video games as a whole.
God, this hits even harder after learning the news of LittleBigPlanet 3 and every single DLC for the entire series being delisted this month. It really does feel like Sony showing off Sackboy one more time as a cameo in Astro Bot and then shooting him right after. You do not know how nervous I am for the future of LittleBigPlanet.
LBP 1 and 2 we're awesome! I made some pinball level on LBP2 and it got pretty popular for a while. I got mostly good reviews on it. I became obsessed with tweaking and modifying that level for a year. Playing Astrobot reminded me more of Sackboy's Big Adventure which I don't feel is getting the love it deserves. It plays almost identical to Astrobot
I miss Little Big Planet, I was mainly on Nintendo growing up, but Little Big Planet was that one outlier where I played 2, 3, and Karting with my cousins on their Ps3 growing up. Even though it was only a few weekends a year, I'd play Lbp with them. It has its charm that made it memorable for me throughout growing up.
I remember, before I actually had a PS3, my mom got my brother AC Brotherhood and I got Little Big Planet. Around Christmas we finally got the PS3 and a couple extra games, and we were able to play them. To me LBP 1 was hard as a kid the further you got in the game, but I got my hands on LBP2 and instantly fell in love. I remember playing the demo and just being like "I need this!". Sure I had Wrestling and LEGO games on the PS2 I grew up with, games I still love and and both were a "go-to" to play, but LBP was a strange case. It was strange because it was a different, calming video game. And it spoke to me like no other game did. It just felt right to be apart of and experience. It really was different, and it was special.
wish list for little big planet 4: - purple logo - doesnt corrupt your entire profile if you jump too hard - isn't almost entirely soulless - isn't made solely to rake in money
I’ve always thought this was the future for LPB. Release it as a stand alone creation tool staring Sackboy. The level building tools were soooo accessible yet you could get deep if you wanted.
my issue with dreams is that it wasn't a game engine. I loved it but as someone who works in game engines to make produces like games. there was very limited reason to learn it outside of my own enjoyment. if dreams had been an engine with a license where I could sell anything I could make it in, I would either use it as a tool to create assets for another engine or as the engine itself. it has so much protentional locked away inside a game that has no reason for real developers to play
LBP 4 should have every Story level from 1,2 and 3..... along with all the community levels from all three games. MM doesn't have to try and "reinvent the wheel" with LBP4. Just stick to what made LBP2 so amazing, and improve on that a little bit..... it doesn't have to be a lot.
Everyone, please, buy the Sackboy game. It's really, really, really good! Very underrated! It's one of the very few fantastic games you can play co-op with your children nowadays
I’ve only held on to my PS3 because of my love for the LBP games. The new AstroBot is great, but I think Sackboy A Big Adventure doesn’t get the praise it deserves. It’s HUGE for me that Sackboy has local co-op, and thinks of ways to make tricky parts more accessible to my young daughters with the helicopter hover mode. It’s allowing my two girls their first gaming memories, and it’s magical to them. Add in the highly customizable characters that other platformers ignore, the amazing art direction, and it’s easy to see why this IP is special. I think the added movesets for Sackboy are nice, and a little less floaty physics are great improvements. I hope they revisit LBP Karting but tighten the controls to have another true MarioKart competition. Actually, just make the kart racer feature a bunch of SONY’s IPs like the way Smash does for Nintendo and that could bring a bigger audience. Anyway, it would be amazing to have both AstroBot and Sackboy IPs going strong in the future.
I miss these games so much. And I know it never got the steam it needed, but Karting allowing for creation in 3D was incredible and unlike any other creation tool I've used. Not to mention that with the paint roller mechanic you could create a simple fun new track within just a couple of minutes. It always made me sad that it wasn't a popular game even among LBP fans. Just didn't get the merit it deserved, much like the rest of LBP.
Sackboy: a big adventure came out in 2020 and is a brilliant platformer with couch Co-Op and lots of end game support and mastery challenges. Not sure why everyone is acting like its a dead franchise. 4 years without a game entry is nothing compared to some things we see in the industry today.
10 years without a mainline game entry. SABA is a spin-off. A fun spin-off game, but it doesn't give people what they want out of the LBP series which is community created content. The LBP IP may not be dead, but so far there's no indication the main series of games isn't. The servers were also shut down, which is why people consider the series dead. It's not like there's no new games but you can still play the old ones, you can't play the old ones to their full extent on official servers either.
@pout6038 I understand the liking for community created content. But you really think A Big Adventure isn't a mainline game and that it's a side project basically? That couldn't be any further from the truth. It's got more than double the content of Little Big Planet 3. It's very literally the biggest and most flushed out full game in the entire series.
@@larryhouse3776The user generated content of LBP literally makes it LBP. LBP is not defined by it's story mode, it's defined by it's slogan "Play, create, share". SABA only features the Play part. It is not mainline.
As soon as my little nephew finished Astro Bot, he asked me to fire up LBP/Sackboy. Such potentials for both of those games. Everyone in the family plays them (Wifey, myself niece and nephew who are basically our kids..)
I’ll never forget when my big brother got LBP 1 he stayed up all night and I just watched him play. It was much simpler times, in a time where politics are off the walls and everyone is super negative there’s no better time than a 4th LBP or even a remaster to humble and bring people back to life
In my opinion this is the best multiplayer game after Mario Cart (its super fun with others).. im kinda old now but 10 years ago i had a blast playing this with some frinds and Mary Jane was there too..
I’m gonna be real, I like sack boy. But his games have very little beyond a surface level in common with Astro, and I don’t think ripping Astro’s developers away from their new baby to work on Little Big Planet is fair or even really a good idea? Like imagine the little big planet devs got told after their first game “great job! Now go make a new crash game.” Like wanting sack boy back is fine but this line of thinking is WHY we don’t get big new fun projects like Astro all that often anymore.
Definitely need a new Little Big Planet. Astro Bot is getting all the love but you can spread it out a little bit. Even Nintendo doesn't just make Mario platformers. They also made a Kirby platformer a couple years ago.
This may ruffle some feathers but I still feel like Astro Bot is practically just Sackboy Big Adventure in the gameplay department with one or two new toys. The only thing that feels different is the aesthetic of the game not being arts and craft based.
The reason why they're not focusing on a new LBP game is because of game journalist bias. Game journalists suck at games, and only like it when they're pushed closer to the end of the game by the end of the deadline, thus they only care about cinematic cutscenes and lots and lots of realism. It pains me to say this, but unless they stop hiring these gaming boomers who are bad at playing games to play their games, we're not getting an LBP4 any time soon. Simple puzzle? They'll suck. Simple jump? They'll suck. Simple tutorial? They'll *STILL* suck.
LittleBigPlanet was my whole childhood, when I heard the servers shut down for good I was super bummed out, Sackboy was and always will be PlayStation’s best mascot
I love both characters, If I had to choose 1 going forward (Thats a tough choice) I'd have to go with Astro bot at this point since Sackboy has pretty much already had his day in the sun. I loved Sackboy a big adventure but the little guy needs another LBP game and I dont see that happening anytime soon.
I'm late to the party and only recently found Sackboy and all his adventures, so I had no idea there used to be online play. I found him accidentally thru ps+ offering a Sackboy skin to use in Fall Guys. For this reason I did actually think that Sackboy IS the Playstation mascot even tho I've played Astro's Playroom. (I say his, but you can play as a her, of course.) The Sackboy games are awesome. Sometimes tricky. Always fun.
Sackboy should be the antagonist of the next Astro Bot game, jealous he's the one both figuratively and literally fading away into irrelevancy. The final boss fight is an Ace Combat style dogfight against Sackboy on a PS3 controller vs Astrobot on a PS5(or whatever number) controller.
Every review of Astro Bot should mention Sackboy's Big Adventure, because they are incredibly similar. There are environmental items and tools that seem directly lifted from Sackboy. I am not Shitting on Astro Boy. Both are outstanding games, but I do feel like Sackboy has gone criminally under appreciated. Anyone that is a fan of Astro Bot and has yet to play Sackboy's Big Adventure should do that the first chance they get.
Personally I grew up with sackboy I got to play the mainline games on the ps3 and 4 but have never played the most recent one. I would love for Mm to come back and give us another masterpiece that would cheer millions up. I would be happy if team asobi would do the game to.
If Astrobot has proved one thing its that Sony has THE plethora of family friendly mascots to rival what Nintendo has. Sackboy, Crash Bandicoot, Astrobot, Sly Cooper and potentially Spike from Ape escape could be Sony's Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Link and Donkey Kong With the right marketing towards family friendly platformers and party games and enough to differentiate themselves gameplay wise those 5 franchises could dominate. Not everything has to be a AAA experience and with online stores its easier than ever to market 20-30$ platformers. Not using them feels like a wasted opportunity and i just hope they strike while the irons hot. Sack Boy adventures was kind of ok but it just felt like a cookie cutter platformer, when it needed to take advantage of his crocheted body. Velcro, fire, water, cardboard and lots of yarn to swing on and unravel, even a few bugs like moths would make sackboy stand out in the space.
I still remember the day I tried the Little Big Planet demo in a gamestop and was instantly hooked ending up getting a PS3 just for that (and Uncharated/Metal Gear solid 4...) I've probably put in at least 400+ hours in 1 and 2 each so it's pretty sad to be reminded of what used to be especially since those memories are also tied with how much I loved Playstation Home until that got it's plug pulled.
Astrobot should be Sony's 3d platformer. And little big planet the sidescroller platformer with focus on community creations (like mario maker). I really don't understand how some IP's that are clearly wanted can be simply forgotten in the sands of time, while stuff like Concord gets hundreds of millions of dollars for something nobody asked for
I think an Astro Bot and SackBoy game would go hard, mix the best of both worlds, the past and the future, like Mario and Sonic. (I also hope the next Astro Bot game has a Spider-Man bot because it was sad not seeing one in the Astro Bot game)

Never fogot Little Big Planet. I even have that turquoise PSP with the pouch. It was awesome !
Also, the thumbnail and the title of this video are so clever and creative.
In terms of Nintendo, I really don't think they need to worry about anything; they're always been creative when it came to Mario mainline titles, and even Mario Wonder was a breath of fresh air in it's 2D scape. Hell, I'd say Nintendo's been the only one out of the big three to be putting out bangers with their first party IPs(Xenoblade, Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, Pikmin, Pokemon, Splatoon etc), as well as their good line up of 3rd party support; having the Switch stand strong for the 7 years it's been out.
Astro Bot truly does show gamers DO still want this fun little romps of charming games, especially if they're fun and creative. As well as Nintendo's Mario Maker proved there is a market for gamers who DO want to create their own little games, or levels, and Streamers who'd LOVE to play those levels too; free marketing right there. I like the idea of giving Little Big Planet to Team Asobi, in order to bring some new life into it; and maybe be a great tool for creatives, to make 3D game levels, like Mario Maker is great for 2D game levels. In terms of monetization, all the need to do allow players to either unlock cosmetics/costumes to be used in game with in-game currency, or just outright buy with for cheap, or maybe unlock some more creative skins for the levels: Uncharted style or Ratchet and Clank style for example. There's a lot they could do with something like this, and could be easy money too.
I remember buying the first LBP on day one for the PS3, and was completely enamored. I loved the whole series, and it's always been my number one to see a new game, even after everything I've played on the PS5 & PC.
even after playing astro. I just love litle big planet sackboy needs to come back
I just hope Astro Bot’s success lets Sony or other game devs invest more into platformers. Its a genre that I think should always be apart of gaming no matter how great modern hardware has gotten
I will love LBP for the rest of my life. What an era to be alive and be able to play those games.
Its the fact sackboy (a huge MMascot) didn’t get his own level…
like loco roco bro 😭😭😭
What would they have done? Then again they made a level completely for Nathan drake (didn’t deserve it imo)
Loco Roco was so fun though 😂. I wish they did more unique stuff with those levels like Wipeout and Parappa. I didn’t need GoW, Horizon and Uncharted, one of them would have been fine.
@@jaybee4288to be fair GoW is a huge franchise with PlayStation but horizon yeah idk why they did that
Fr it would've made sense for sackboy to have his own planet/level
then probably is not that huge
I’ve been playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure for past year and is still so damn good. Incredibly hard at times.. just all around holds its own super well vs today’s games. Will always love lbp tho so amazing esp in its day
Gosh the A little big planet is memories I miss it..❤
You hit the nail on the head. We can have big AAA games and smaller scale games. At the end of the day like you and many others, I just want variety. I love Ghost of Tsushima and it’s quickly become my top PS franchise. But I absolutely want Sly Cooper standing next to Jin Sakai
I honestly don't mind. Asobi studio used to be Japan studio responsible for parappa the rapper, loco roco, shadow of the colossus, ape escape and now astro bot. They earned their place as the mascot of playstation.
Sackboy did costumes of other PlayStation characters first, AstroBot is shaped like Sackboy so much and the world of. Astrobot borrows a lot from LBP. I love AstroBot, but man did they do Sackboy dirty
How did they do Sackboy “dirty”, when they released a new Sackboy game in 2020, and it sold poorly?
The game mechanics introduced in the first two LBP games were HUGE at the time. I equate it to when BOTW came out. I spent so much time playing LBP back in high school with my buddy. We made so many different levels. I'll never forget the online community for those games when they were in their prime. So many fun and creative levels. We even tried to create water in the first one using different materials at different sizes... Didn't work. But when LBP 2 came out, it's mechanics added so much to the community. We finally had water among other things.
I'll never forget those games. Those years were truly a renaissance for video games as a whole.
God, this hits even harder after learning the news of LittleBigPlanet 3 and every single DLC for the entire series being delisted this month. It really does feel like Sony showing off Sackboy one more time as a cameo in Astro Bot and then shooting him right after. You do not know how nervous I am for the future of LittleBigPlanet.
LBP 1 and 2 we're awesome! I made some pinball level on LBP2 and it got pretty popular for a while. I got mostly good reviews on it. I became obsessed with tweaking and modifying that level for a year. Playing Astrobot reminded me more of Sackboy's Big Adventure which I don't feel is getting the love it deserves. It plays almost identical to Astrobot
What was the name of the level?
@@YanoLBP I think it was "Pinboy". Made by Foxdie84
@@YanoLBP You're not actually a ball, just Sackboy inside a pinball machine bouncing around it.
Sony could have spent that 400 million dollars or even less on LittleBigPlanet instead of wasting it all on Concord.
I miss Little Big Planet, I was mainly on Nintendo growing up, but Little Big Planet was that one outlier where I played 2, 3, and Karting with my cousins on their Ps3 growing up. Even though it was only a few weekends a year, I'd play Lbp with them. It has its charm that made it memorable for me throughout growing up.
I remember, before I actually had a PS3, my mom got my brother AC Brotherhood and I got Little Big Planet. Around Christmas we finally got the PS3 and a couple extra games, and we were able to play them. To me LBP 1 was hard as a kid the further you got in the game, but I got my hands on LBP2 and instantly fell in love. I remember playing the demo and just being like "I need this!". Sure I had Wrestling and LEGO games on the PS2 I grew up with, games I still love and and both were a "go-to" to play, but LBP was a strange case. It was strange because it was a different, calming video game. And it spoke to me like no other game did. It just felt right to be apart of and experience. It really was different, and it was special.
Why does everyone dunk on Sackboy? It was a genuinely great game.
Yeah leave room for the memorable and lovable mascots we love growing up, the gaming industry need them more than ever.
Sackboy deserved better
1:14 this shouldve of been a skin
"Hold on... say that again" ahh video title
Me, my brother, and my sister would normally play Little Big Planet and I would say it's an amazing game. I miss it.
Astro bot is literally just a rebranded sackbot, prove me wrong
Little Big Planet is probably the best Game I've ever played, so much love went into it
wish list for little big planet 4:
- purple logo
- doesnt corrupt your entire profile if you jump too hard
- isn't almost entirely soulless
- isn't made solely to rake in money
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 are my favorite games of all time. I would be soooo happy if they released LBP4 or a LBP1-2 up-ressed port on PC/PS5.
I’ve always thought this was the future for LPB. Release it as a stand alone creation tool staring Sackboy. The level building tools were soooo accessible yet you could get deep if you wanted.
my issue with dreams is that it wasn't a game engine. I loved it but as someone who works in game engines to make produces like games. there was very limited reason to learn it outside of my own enjoyment. if dreams had been an engine with a license where I could sell anything I could make it in, I would either use it as a tool to create assets for another engine or as the engine itself. it has so much protentional locked away inside a game that has no reason for real developers to play
Honestly my favorite Playstation mascot was Toro, im glad they added him and Kuro into the game
LBP 4 should have every Story level from 1,2 and 3..... along with all the community levels from all three games.
MM doesn't have to try and "reinvent the wheel" with LBP4. Just stick to what made LBP2 so amazing, and improve on that a little bit..... it doesn't have to be a lot.
* sees title *
“say that again “
What I’ve been playing dreams for years and never knew it was made by the same people as lbp
Everyone, please, buy the Sackboy game. It's really, really, really good! Very underrated! It's one of the very few fantastic games you can play co-op with your children nowadays
How about a true crossover with both games. That would be cool.
They could even take out the 4 and call it little big galaxy or something weird like that.
They sacked, our boy. What a tragedy.
I’ve only held on to my PS3 because of my love for the LBP games. The new AstroBot is great, but I think Sackboy A Big Adventure doesn’t get the praise it deserves. It’s HUGE for me that Sackboy has local co-op, and thinks of ways to make tricky parts more accessible to my young daughters with the helicopter hover mode. It’s allowing my two girls their first gaming memories, and it’s magical to them. Add in the highly customizable characters that other platformers ignore, the amazing art direction, and it’s easy to see why this IP is special. I think the added movesets for Sackboy are nice, and a little less floaty physics are great improvements. I hope they revisit LBP Karting but tighten the controls to have another true MarioKart competition. Actually, just make the kart racer feature a bunch of SONY’s IPs like the way Smash does for Nintendo and that could bring a bigger audience. Anyway, it would be amazing to have both AstroBot and Sackboy IPs going strong in the future.
I miss these games so much. And I know it never got the steam it needed, but Karting allowing for creation in 3D was incredible and unlike any other creation tool I've used. Not to mention that with the paint roller mechanic you could create a simple fun new track within just a couple of minutes. It always made me sad that it wasn't a popular game even among LBP fans. Just didn't get the merit it deserved, much like the rest of LBP.
Sackboy: a big adventure came out in 2020 and is a brilliant platformer with couch Co-Op and lots of end game support and mastery challenges. Not sure why everyone is acting like its a dead franchise. 4 years without a game entry is nothing compared to some things we see in the industry today.
10 years without a mainline game entry. SABA is a spin-off. A fun spin-off game, but it doesn't give people what they want out of the LBP series which is community created content. The LBP IP may not be dead, but so far there's no indication the main series of games isn't.
The servers were also shut down, which is why people consider the series dead. It's not like there's no new games but you can still play the old ones, you can't play the old ones to their full extent on official servers either.
@pout6038 I understand the liking for community created content. But you really think A Big Adventure isn't a mainline game and that it's a side project basically? That couldn't be any further from the truth. It's got more than double the content of Little Big Planet 3. It's very literally the biggest and most flushed out full game in the entire series.
@@larryhouse3776The user generated content of LBP literally makes it LBP.
LBP is not defined by it's story mode, it's defined by it's slogan "Play, create, share".
SABA only features the Play part. It is not mainline.
As soon as my little nephew finished Astro Bot, he asked me to fire up LBP/Sackboy. Such potentials for both of those games. Everyone in the family plays them (Wifey, myself niece and nephew who are basically our kids..)
We do need more LittleBigPlanet, and we also need more Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper games
Sackboy a W
bring my homeboy back fr
I’ll never forget when my big brother got LBP 1 he stayed up all night and I just watched him play. It was much simpler times, in a time where politics are off the walls and everyone is super negative there’s no better time than a 4th LBP or even a remaster to humble and bring people back to life
I would invest in money to bring this game back and continue the legacy of LBP
this video needs more attention
I have Sackboys big adventure on PS5, honestly its a really great game.
Sony: Hmm Brown boy with Black eyes. Or White boy with Blue eyes. Hmmm gonna go with the white one🤔
Been playing LBP3 with my little boy recently and it makes me really sad that we never played it when the community levels where still accessible.
In my opinion this is the best multiplayer game after Mario Cart (its super fun with others).. im kinda old now but 10 years ago i had a blast playing this with some frinds and Mary Jane was there too..
I’m gonna be real, I like sack boy. But his games have very little beyond a surface level in common with Astro, and I don’t think ripping Astro’s developers away from their new baby to work on Little Big Planet is fair or even really a good idea? Like imagine the little big planet devs got told after their first game “great job! Now go make a new crash game.” Like wanting sack boy back is fine but this line of thinking is WHY we don’t get big new fun projects like Astro all that often anymore.
Never forgotten, always in our hearts
Definitely need a new Little Big Planet. Astro Bot is getting all the love but you can spread it out a little bit. Even Nintendo doesn't just make Mario platformers. They also made a Kirby platformer a couple years ago.
Blud was replaced by AI
This may ruffle some feathers but I still feel like Astro Bot is practically just Sackboy Big Adventure in the gameplay department with one or two new toys. The only thing that feels different is the aesthetic of the game not being arts and craft based.
Little big planet is so nostalgic to me now. Wish they'd bring it back along with mod racers
The reason why they're not focusing on a new LBP game is because of game journalist bias.
Game journalists suck at games, and only like it when they're pushed closer to the end of the game by the end of the deadline, thus they only care about cinematic cutscenes and lots and lots of realism. It pains me to say this, but unless they stop hiring these gaming boomers who are bad at playing games to play their games, we're not getting an LBP4 any time soon.
Simple puzzle? They'll suck. Simple jump? They'll suck. Simple tutorial? They'll *STILL* suck.
LittleBigPlanet was my whole childhood, when I heard the servers shut down for good I was super bummed out, Sackboy was and always will be PlayStation’s best mascot
I love both characters, If I had to choose 1 going forward (Thats a tough choice) I'd have to go with Astro bot at this point since Sackboy has pretty much already had his day in the sun. I loved Sackboy a big adventure but the little guy needs another LBP game and I dont see that happening anytime soon.
I know this is true but it still hurts to see our friend go, and I hope for his return.
I'm late to the party and only recently found Sackboy and all his adventures, so I had no idea there used to be online play. I found him accidentally thru ps+ offering a Sackboy skin to use in Fall Guys. For this reason I did actually think that Sackboy IS the Playstation mascot even tho I've played Astro's Playroom.
(I say his, but you can play as a her, of course.) The Sackboy games are awesome. Sometimes tricky. Always fun.
Sackboy should be the antagonist of the next Astro Bot game, jealous he's the one both figuratively and literally fading away into irrelevancy. The final boss fight is an Ace Combat style dogfight against Sackboy on a PS3 controller vs Astrobot on a PS5(or whatever number) controller.
That would be dope tbh
Every review of Astro Bot should mention Sackboy's Big Adventure, because they are incredibly similar.
There are environmental items and tools that seem directly lifted from Sackboy. I am not Shitting on Astro Boy.
Both are outstanding games, but I do feel like Sackboy has gone criminally under appreciated.
Anyone that is a fan of Astro Bot and has yet to play Sackboy's Big Adventure should do that the first chance they get.
An Astro Bot & Sack Boy crossever game would be amazing.
Astrobot is sackboy in a space suit.
I think Sack Boy never screamed PlayStation for me,but I think we could get more from the franchise to renember people about his existence
Personally I grew up with sackboy I got to play the mainline games on the ps3 and 4 but have never played the most recent one. I would love for Mm to come back and give us another masterpiece that would cheer millions up. I would be happy if team asobi would do the game to.
If Astrobot has proved one thing its that Sony has THE plethora of family friendly mascots to rival what Nintendo has. Sackboy, Crash Bandicoot, Astrobot, Sly Cooper and potentially Spike from Ape escape could be Sony's Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Link and Donkey Kong
With the right marketing towards family friendly platformers and party games and enough to differentiate themselves gameplay wise those 5 franchises could dominate.
Not everything has to be a AAA experience and with online stores its easier than ever to market 20-30$ platformers. Not using them feels like a wasted opportunity and i just hope they strike while the irons hot.
Sack Boy adventures was kind of ok but it just felt like a cookie cutter platformer, when it needed to take advantage of his crocheted body. Velcro, fire, water, cardboard and lots of yarn to swing on and unravel, even a few bugs like moths would make sackboy stand out in the space.
LBP2 shaped my entire creative process as a kid, I wish I could dive back into a world like that now that I’m older.
Imagine something like little big planet reimagined
little big planet got there job replaced by ai
Little big planet shall never be forgotten
I still remember the day I tried the Little Big Planet demo in a gamestop and was instantly hooked ending up getting a PS3 just for that (and Uncharated/Metal Gear solid 4...) I've probably put in at least 400+ hours in 1 and 2 each so it's pretty sad to be reminded of what used to be especially since those memories are also tied with how much I loved Playstation Home until that got it's plug pulled.
LBP 1 was very special indeed. It was perfect.
Astrobot should be Sony's 3d platformer. And little big planet the sidescroller platformer with focus on community creations (like mario maker). I really don't understand how some IP's that are clearly wanted can be simply forgotten in the sands of time, while stuff like Concord gets hundreds of millions of dollars for something nobody asked for
AAUUGHHH IVE ALMOST WANTED TO WORK AT MEDIA MOLECULE BUT I HAVEN'T FINISHED UNIVERSITY CRIES
why the hell do my boys like sly cooper and sackboy get the shortest end of the stick...
I think an Astro Bot and SackBoy game would go hard, mix the best of both worlds, the past and the future, like Mario and Sonic. (I also hope the next Astro Bot game has a Spider-Man bot because it was sad not seeing one in the Astro Bot game)
That title actually goes hard 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
