Watch out Little Big Planet, here comes Microsoft's Boku

You mean "fount" ?

How sad and pathetic that MS has to copy everyone else yet again. They are so notorious for that. Why can't they come up with more original stuff??

Looks cool.

When somone on your staff is contemplating purchasing a 150$ collectors edition, I think its hard to say they are "woefully unable to afford the hardware necessary".

Boku doesn't have the level of polish LBP has, not yet at least.

Other then allowing users to create, this has nothing to do with LBP.

Heh heh heh, This is a copy of LBP, just think for a second.. Fanboys. Someone who's not a fanboy of any console give a comment.

looks like a Net Yaroze ripoff, sony needs to pick that back up for PS3 tho, it would be epicness

Damnnn.. I am currently in my 2nd year Game Design and Development and we are learning XNA/C#. This boku thing makes it useless..

HAHAHAHA!!!!................................no

"Boku" sounds like the kind of thing I shouldn't be typing in Google while at work.

Woefully unable to afford?

Add a network adapter, hard drive, rechargeable batterty packs, and a live subscription and you will have spent just as much (probably more) on a 360, to get what a PS3 already does.


... or just have fun with your arcade.

i will definitely be paying attention to this one..

I have to laugh at those claiming a lbp ripoff.Ill have you know nothing lbp did was original.There were rpg makers and level editors long before lbp.Boku is a game design tool that gets kids interested and ready for future game development.

What this means is microsoft actually cares for the future of gaming and wants to make it easier and get more involved.

This is light years ahead of lbp in the sense your creating your own game not just a level within a game.

As far as not being able to afford a ps3 i think the majority of 360 owners could afford a ps3 including myself.As a matter of fact i got my 360 after ps3 launched and i payed 400 for my 360.

Regardless of what any idiotic fanboys say.The 360 is the better console the full 360 degrees and theres no way for sony and its fanboys to get around that.

Why cant you accept the fact that sony failed and let it go.Move on from this and learn your lesson get a 360 theres no point in you suffering any longer.

I have to laugh at how you guys keep lying to yourselfs claiming your exclusives have better graphix and psn is better than live its really sad and pathetic.

i was in one thread today were someone said that uncharted looked better than any 360 exclusive and that kz2 looks better than gears2 lmao just really sad.

I don't know if it's meant to be just a programming tool disguised as a game/level editor, or an actual make-your-own-level LBP kinda game. but if it's the latter, it's certainly missing the polish, detail, and charm of littlebigplanet, probably cause it's more focused on the programming side? anyways, as a tool it looks powerful, but as a "game" it's missing a lot, so I don't think it's fair to compare it to LBP, it has probably a totally different objective.

editor richard mitchel: you are a fucking idiot for even mentioning little big planet and boku in the same sentence.

#1 boku is a PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE and little big planet is a platform game!!!!!!!!!!

#2 you started a flame war for the other retards like you who dont actually read the articles they blog about!!!!

boku is a genius little app for young aspiring game creators and has NOTHING TO DO WITH OR COMPETE WITH A GAME WHERE YOU CAN ONLY CREATE MAPS

EDIT THE ARTICLE HEADLINE

I havn't been able to stop playing LBP since I bought it last week, I'm addicted like crazy. This is NOTHING like LBP. And I need some clarification. Is Boku a 360 game or PC program?

LBP is a hell of a lot more than just a level maker. It's really hard to explain, but if you own the game you will see.

Well I can assure all of you that LBP isn't even worth it anyways I have both consoles and LBP is just too blah.
I can assure that if you go and buy LBP your a retard.
