It would be funny to see cows hype LBP as a top tier platformer again. I still remember some of them trying to make direct comparisons to SMG2, that shit was hilarious.

As for the topic in general, I dunno. I do remember a time when it seemed like Sony brand made everything worse. They couldn't catch a break and it seemed like the industry was just shitting all over them.

I don't know. I tried LBP when it was a download with Plus, and I didn't really care for it. Needless to say, not caring about 3.

@Salt_The_Fries: Really? You're asking this question on the site that gave Perfect Dark Zero a 9/10 and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction a 7.5/10?

And what do a couple fans being excited for a game in the forum have to do with how the site rates games? Are you sure this isn't just a passive/aggressive attempt to attack Sony? As if all their work is overrated and not as good as their lesser rated competitors' efforts?

Sony makes fantastic products across all of their product lines. Their cameras, phones, TV's etc. are very well made. What you are talking about is hype. It is a well known thing that SW has a few more cows than lems, sheep or hermits. Sony makes a very impressive product, but some things, are just simply the hype machine getting a little to put of hand

I haven't noticed any particular system bias here at GS, so no. I think GS's review scores are pretty bad no matter the system. ;P

TC, People hype almost every game here to high heaven. The fact that you only seem to notice and get bothered by hype for Sony games shows your bias, not Gamespot's.

Well, it's a well repeated thing anyhow. After my time in SW I've certainly watched different factions swell and shrink and swell again, but when we actually poll people about their systems, PC consistently wins. Always made sense to me since we have pretty dedicated gamers here, and most PC gamers often grab a console or three as well.

probably... Sumo digital doesn't exactly have the best of track records. They'll probably play it safe producing a game that is still enjoyable for the fans, but not up to par with the rest of the series. Much like how Batman Arkham Origins ended up.

At least that's my prediction.

I thought their E3 bit was the most fun, none of the usual staged footage like all the other gameplay at the conference so i'll pick it up. I'm just waiting for Steven Fry to narrate it and they've got my preorder down.

The game controls perfectly fine. You have complete control over your character. There is no problem.

You're bitching about the physics. Which are designed that way to create more freedom in creating levels. And, IIRC, LBP2 has a slider that turns the game into a much tighter experience akin to Mario or something of the like.

Barely had any problem with the controls. It may not be among the "most hardcore" platformers out there but it sure isnt a bad one. All the games were of high quality - LBP1 has a 95 on meta and LBP2 a 91. yeah, such bad games...

Lol no. In general sites don't give a higher rating to games just because its sony. However there are a few sony fansites that count towards MC and GR scores that tend to rate games higher then the average. But on GS and IGN and such, I don't feel there is any bias towards Sony or MS
