Well, I'm not especially full of the "PS3 vibe", but I must say, this game has re-ignited my interest in the possibilities on the PS3 (or at least, those developing for it).

LittleBigPlanet is a kind a of odd game, dev'd by a load of ex-Lionhead'ers, who departed to form MediaMolecule, and this is their début game for PS3. I must say, it certainly has a Lionhead-esque charm about it (even though it's nothing to do with LH)

Well, enough talk, take a look at it for yourself..

A very very, bizarre concept, but certainly worth checking out when it finally reaches the shelves

Yeah it's really, really nice.
The music on the GameTrailers video is so cool!

Hopefully it will come to 360 or get a Wii port.

No way, that's cool, dude I'm really behind on the technology, I'm still going wow at Far Cry, looks pretty good, nice to see some more fun and silly games coming out in this next generation, we've already seen Viva Pinata, wonder what Wii releases in these 'cute little animal' games, we already have Animal Crossing for the GC and DS.

Wow I want this game! The PS3 ship is really turning around from the GDC I feel.

@Screwed Over - What are you talking about? Viva Pinata is brilliant. It's NOT about gardening, and that just proves how ignorant the statement is

Screwed Over, say that again and you will be well... screwed over.

Between this and the announcement of the Playstation Home and the sheer amount of good titles in 08 and beyond I may just but a Ps3 sooner than expercted.

Dont want to say anything but sony are really desperate so they probably use a 3D animator for screens BUT THE GRAPHICS of the game is nothin like that.

Sony is so desperate they used Project Gotham Screens for Gran Turismo HD!!

Oh dear. Sounds like you're desperate to put it down, to me. Did you see the video of them actually playing it?

What an excellent concept, and what an excellent physics engine. I was also very impressed with how easy they made the level creation look using just the PS3 controller! That's gotta take some practice.

Hmmm, that looks really cool. I might have to get a job to buy a PS3, just for this game

sorry if it sounded ignorant its just my opinio, but really from playing it for the hour or so i did with my friend i couldn't see any actual aims or story line, and i just can't stand games like that.

wow, just what i was thinkin, except ps home doesnt look that interesting to me. the rest of the ps3 stuff that ive seen so far looks awesome though.

I'm definitely looking forward to playing this game, there aren't enough platformers (released or planned) in the PS3 lineup yet. And the fact that you're directing the scroller is neat imo. But I'm especially interested in the physics properties of the game, when I first saw this video I was captivated by springs for the first time in my life, lol. Definitely looking forward to it. And controlling emotions via the Sixaxis, that definitely sounds cool, but I'm not sure how it's going to be implemented and I'm wondering if it will end up only having importance in online-play.
