EA 'creates' a LittleBigPlanet Clone

The Holy Link

Thoughts?

Lol. Wtf?

Wow! did you see the screenshots?? EA is getting out of ideas

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm still waiting for a Demon's Souls ripoff to be announced.

If it's a good game, I'll check it out.

So, is Play Create Share a genre yet?

Games focused on user generated content are becoming popular, and for good reason.

LBP2 has the right mindset. Give near-mod tools to gamers to build whatever the hell they want. Then have a beautiful network backing it all so that it is easy to find the best content, and BAM you have a damn good $60 investment.

The only thing similar on the PC are mods and those are very complicated to build. Granted they end up being more robust and overall better, but for $60 you are giving tools to make a plethoraof games that, while not as full and robust as full games, still are tons of fun. I like it.

Now watch it end up being the most popular Move/Kinect game. :roll:

Ah, cool. I'd like to see some video demonstrations of this game. I'm pretty positive I won't play or buy it though.

I agree with this.

I still play Timesplitters: Future Perfect to this day. Its map editor is amazing. Even years after its initial release, I am still thinking of new maps I haven't built yet. These kind of games that have that encourage user creation should be getting popular.

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later.:P

Silly EA. Copy a good game instead. Like Demons souls! Pretty please?

Ah, EA...SaltyMeatballs

I wouldn't just shrug them off. They are the publisher behind some pretty good games this generation. They also have shown to be a bit innovative this gen too...

Noteables include: Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins, Burnout Paradise (who knew an open world racing game would work?), APB (damnit they tried), The Saboteur, FIFA 10...

I mean it could be Activision where we would have to pay to download all of the user generated content. :P

Still.. LBP2 cannot beat Gmod. And that came out in 2006. :)

So, if Little Big Planet is the Mario killer and this Create thing is the Little Big Planet killer, does that mean that Create killed Mario twice or something?

Ehh I think it can compete pretty easily.

GMod,while great, lacks real structure and usability. LBP has that and I'm sure this new one by EA will be similar.

Anything that promotes user generated content with a great way of distributing it, is awesome in my books.

Silly EA. Copy a good game instead. Like Demons souls! Pretty please?

-Snooze-

For you, many actually like this whole knew create, play & share thing.

I think it'll be a decent game.

BTW, LBP and DS recieved the same score here, but LBP have a higher overall score at GR and MC. Just thought that i can point that out for you.

If I quote it before you delete it, it shows up because GS copies the HTML code onto my post.

/nerd talk

Of course EA isn't shy to copy. It's a safer investment to invest into something proven than to always innovate. Last gen I shurgged EA off for the most part because they really put an emphasis on in-house developing and just making safe games, no real risky investments. However they turned around and decided to stop in-house developing everything and publishing some pretty unique titles.

If they keep a good balance, I don't have a problem and I will keep buying their products.

I'll stick with the original, thanks.

wait so LBP does something so now EA can't do it because it a rip off and sucks without any of you even trying it out? :|

play it before you disgrace it IMO if the game is as good as LBP people shouldn't be bashing it EA owns the sim games and you can do a lot of weird stuff in those similiar to the freedom in LBP so i wouldn't say ea stole this whole idea

They're releasing it the same month as LittleBigPlanet 2? Well EA, good luck with that.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]What else has EA clones this gen? And very similar clones. GOW clone (Dantes Inferno), soon a COD clone (Medal of Honor beard man), and now we see this LBP clone (Create). I am probably missing something.Mystic-G

Dead Space. Pretty sure thats a clone of something.

Ubisoft is doing the same thing with ManiaPlanet (Trackmania 2, Questmania and Shootmania). ;)RyuRanVII

EA, the king of clones this gen?:P Anyway meh I just stick with LBP.

Master_ShakeXXX

I hope it doesn't suck. (not that I'm interested)

i though cows said clones are cool now
