PS3

I have to admit I'm one of these jaded gamers who rarely fall in love with a game at first sight, but LittleBigPlanet is one exception. If after watching this video you do not have a big smile on your face, then you have no soul ;)
Update: Added a HQ 60 fps version of the video, and 2 images.
Update2: The game runs at 30 fps, so a 60 fps video did add anything except being much more CPU hungry, so I've reencoded it to 30 fps. Enjoy.

Looks great, really loving the way it looks. Does it remind anyone else of Rag Doll Kung Fu or is it just me?

This is looking very impressive. I agree the war is back on. Hurray for competition. Rare has their work cut out for them on 360. Hopefully their next platformer will look this good.

And the PS3 Home, very impressive too, but unless they really have been working on this for over 2 years, I don't expect to see this till 2008. They say 2007, but I skeptical.

It's in beta already, and from what we saw, it looks near done.

Seriously, this is the first time I've been impressed by the PS3, brilliant stuff. If Sony keeps this up, a PS3 will be mine sooner rather than later.

i heard the entire concept behind this game and i dont see whats so "stunning" about it, a little too cutesy for me, nice physics tho, im much more interested in Home.

Dammit, these things transform me into a pre-teen girl every time.

As opposed to a young woman-man-thing.

This is stunning stuff. Rag Doll Kung Fu had the look but not the fun, I think they've sorted that out with LBP!

I was floored by this. Looks amazing and looks it looks fun. It really makes you work together as a team. I have not seen a game that makes you work as a team as good as this game. This is a Kill app! No doubt about it!

Having seen many good ps3 game lately makes me want to buy one real soon.
The new video of heavenly sword, Little Big Planet, and Warhawk. I cant wait untill new videos of other games come out.

By the way, is this in any way related/connected to Little Big Adventure? I know it's far fetched, but that game is too old and made by people I didn't know in a time when I didn't care.. so I have no idea if that's a remote possibility.

Nope, not by a longshot. :D

Did some research. Adeline Software - french company - made LBA and was later acquired by Sega under the name "No Cliché". I remember that company actually. I'm pretty sure they made Toy Commander for Dreamcast.

Ho well, no relation at all. Carry on. :D
