LittleBigPlanet slated for October
42
Well, that didn't work. Tearing out the May, June, July, August and September pages from our official 2008 Sackboy Calendar has utterly failed to bring us any closer to LittleBigPlanet's newly announced "October" release date. Speaking at Sony's PlayStation Day 2008 event in London, Sony bigwig Kaz Hirai confirmed that the burlap-bouncing, community-powered platformer would be gracing PlayStation 3 systems in that month when people dress up as pirates and vampires. Provided it doesn't slip again, LittleBigPlanet is going to make for quite the treat.

Please don't push this back again Sony. I'd like to get more than 3 more PS3 games before the year's over.

If they don't push it back, maybe this and MGS4 can convince me to get a PS3. I'm going to want Blu-ray soon anyway, so I might as well do some Snaking.

I agree Brandon, I'm thinking about getting one as well. If they release that gun-metal colored one with MGS4 I will buy it. It looks sweet and I want a blu-ray player too since my HD player isn't going to be doing much more than just up-converting my normal DVDs

If you want, you can just borrow my time machine. It takes 147 days to start up but when you get out, itll be October.

Yeah... so when someone bashes the ps3 it's funny, when someone calls you on your bullshit- they're a fanboy. You seem to be in need of a sense of humor yourself, Negativecool.

Who said he was bashing the PS3? Killzone has had a few delays, Negativecool thinks there will be more. Big deal.
You guys need to calm down.
Especially the baseball guy.

I figured that September date wouldn't hold. Wonder how long this one will last. LBP, Home, SF2 HD, I'm starting to wonder if these things will ever really come out.

yeah... LBP and GTAIV were the reason I got a PS3.
LAST JULY.

Same here
... and Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Resistance, Rock Band, Folklore, Pixel Junk Monsters, Echochrome, Everyday Shooter, Eye of Judgment, Oblivion, Burnout Paradise, PAIN, GTA4, UT3, Assassin's Creed, Warhawk, Super Stardust HD, etc. are why I've kept it. :D

any game company should just say coming soon and one day just put it out so no one gets all worked up when it gets delayed

From the creators of Rag Doll Kung Fu; maybe a delay is for the best.

Is this game going to be downloadable through the PSN network or will it be disc only?

How in the hell am I going to buy all these games??? I still havent gotten through Assassins Creed from last year because there is just too many F'ing games!!! I guess its a good problem to have, but I just hate that I could be missing out on good stuff.

That is funny because I only have a PS3 and I cant keep up with how many games are coming out. After I finish GTAIV, Im hoping to finish Assassins Creed and DMC4 before MGS4 hits, then there are the buttload of games coming out this holiday.
The "PS3 has no games" arguement no longer holds water

But if he also owns a 360 then... well... yeah the PS3 could be viewed as not having a strong library of games...
But the future is bright in that aspect, and getting brighter.

Yeah I also have a 360 and a Wii so I got GTA for the 360 though honestly it's not really my type of game but it's fun to play online with the cad dudes. Honestly I don't play the Wii or PS3 that much. Occasionally I'll get on Rachet & Clank and private chat a buddy via 360 while we play. I'm not really a fan of MGS games but I'll probably pick the new one up (though anyone who was in the beta will know how half-assed the multiplayer is, but it is enjoyable, what with the porn and all when you play as Snake in the sneaking gametype).
But yeah the 360 has me a bit burnt out on shooters so I'm really looking forward to LBP and could care less about Haze (I was really upset when I saw the recent gameplay footage, seems the developer couldn't handle the jump from 64/gamecube to the PS3), Killzone, and Resistance 2 (they need to stick with platformers damnit, not generic shooters).
I got the PS3 for my platformer/RPG needs but so far I haven't been satisfied. Hopefully Disgaea 3 will make it state-side.

I don't get it... you feel wronged for buying a PS3, but are fine with the 360?
I'm just the opposite. PS3 has a lot of exclusives that I love, and 360 doesn't have much exclusives to interest me. And even those "exclusives" are usually available on PC, which makes me ask the question "why spend hundreds of dollars on this thing for exclusives I could just play on my computer..." for cheaper too (game prices are cheaper on PC) and I'd have the option of using either keyboard/mouse OR gamepad... not just one particular gamepad either; 360, Dualshock/SIXAXIS, or something completely different.
PS3 and 360 are very similar in price, so I just don't get your argument. And I would think at the least you'd be fairly happy with either anyways because there's a crap-ton of multiplats anyways.

It's an opinion dude. I'm not happy with what the PS3 has to offer yet because the games I've wanted from it haven't come out. I have 3 games for the console so far that I've actually bought, and they don't get much play time. I'm sick of shooters (on consoles) and not a fan of hack n slash games. I play pc games, but only RTS's and Unreal 2004. So far the only really decent RPG to come out on the 360 or PS3 was Lost Odyssey for the 360, partially cause I'm a huge fan of the developer, but it was a great game regardless. Sony should have never funded Killzone 2 and concentrated on giving gamers what they aren't getting enough of elsewhere. Try to push up dates on foreign RPGs waiting for translation (Disgaea 3) or even fund one of their own. Perhaps some platformers or even an adventure game. Also I need in-game XMB soon if I really wanna get into it. I often find myself idly playing games chatting with friends who aren't even in the room or during single-player games.
Most use I get out of it now that the initial luster has passed is when I rent Blu-ray movies. Same goes for the Wii as well, only when my lady is in town does the Wii get used (haha). Random thought though, if Twilight Princess didn't have the fucking wolf form in the game I would have loved to play for more than a few hours.

Lars, most people don't want to spend thousands on a fancy computer that MIGHT be able to run a game. Xbox 360 is MUCH more cost efficient than PC.

Anticrawl, based on your comment I still don't understand how you can be totally dissatisfied with your PS3 but totally fine with the 360, especially since you're not into shooters. But anyways, I kinda see your point. Not enough RPG's I totally agree with. And I'm annoyed that LBP was announced so early for me to drool over. But PS3 has given me a lot of "different" gaming experiences than available on anything else.
Superstar90: good computers don't cost thousands... this is not 1990, get your facts straight. Plus most people have a computer already for other reasons, which they could use for gaming. Mine cost a whopping $400 and I play stuff like Orange Box, Mass Effect, and WoW just fine (plus it has a heck of a lot more usefulness outside of gaming than a console does).

I can't wait for this game.. I'll probably buy a PS3 whenever this game is released(it won't be October, I can promise you that.) Hopefully by then they will have a re-designed PS3.

I'll believe it when I see it. This one has been so over-hyped for so long, they might be better off never actually shipping it since there is no way it can possibly live up to its rep.

This story was about a game for the PS3, my post was meant to be light hearted and humorous. Only a fanboy would cry "ps3 bashing" by my statement.
Call me on my "bullshit?" I made a joke you fucking tool.
I support all the consoles (although I have less love for the wii), my favorite game of all time even happens to be on a Sony platform, hence Sepheroth the avatar.
Take your Sony humping to PS3fanboy.
