PSBlog: Embark on an epic 3D platform journey in Sackboy: A Big Adventure, coming to PS5

[Precious Tritium]

That Ghost Jin costume looks pretty sweet

 

[KalBalboa]

Between this, Crash, and Astrobot, I'm getting a strong 3D platformer fix this season.

 

[NewDust]

I'll eat my hat if this isn't better than LBP3. There's lots of new footage in that video and it looks great.

Just worried about what the price is going to be like for it in the UK. I don't expect it to be extortionate like Demon's Souls (£70!) but it probably won't be much better. It'll be hard to wait for a discount, especially if it ends up reviewing well.

[Loudninja]

Deacon and Jin Sackboys

 

[FullNelson]

Is it 60fps on the PS4 too, I assume?

This looks reaaally good.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

I'm interested in this. Mario 3D World style co-op platforming. Could be a lot of fun.

Shame covid is a thing. Very detrimental to local co-op potential but thankfully it has online.

 

[jroc74]

Love the LBP series. Can't wait.

 

[fanboy]

oh and this looks fucking great. I will buy this. Is this going to be Sumo's best game ever, even better than Snake Pass?

 

[EricTheGamerman]

I'm still very happy with how this game looks and excited that it might turn out to be a great way to keep Sack Boy in the PlayStation ecosystem even without Media Molecule making the Little Big Planet series. I hope it turns out to be as good as I think it could be just based upon what we've seen so far. PlayStation can make wonderful platformers when they decide to put the effort in.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Ah shit, fuck sake. They had to make this platform exclusive, didn't they?

Click to shrink...

Can just buy it and upgrade to ps5 for free

Edit: nvm sorry saw your other comment

 

[Crumrin]

60fps, responsive controls, and a compelling world. Sumo has their priorities straight!

Day one! \o/

 

[Mecha]

Ok, I wasn't going to buy this... But now I am, looks great.

 

[get2sammyb]

This looks fantastic. And I love those skins!

 

[Kupo Kupopo]

You know what? Doing away with the creation stuff actually makes me more excited for this.

Click to shrink...

same. sumo seems to be more into creating actual games, as opposed to tools (like a certain other studio)...

 

[TalonJH]

I want the plush but I rather buy this digitally. Maybe, I'll break and go physical.

 

[Jump_Button]

The game is big he say but dont show anything new :/ Sumo Digital can be hit or miss it been a long time from they last hit with anything other then racing games

 

[Reddaye]

Sackboy in a tiger costume is too cute.

 

[Deleted member 44129]

Why is this not called "Sackboy's Little Big Adventure", and yet there is a game on PSN called "Little Big Workshop" that has nothing to do with this franchise?

 

[get2sammyb]

This looks like fantastic fun!

 

[EssBeeVee]

so you can only get the special edition on the sony store?

 

[Grimmjow]

i'm also excited for Astro's Playroom, out of all things.

Click to shrink...

Yup. That's what I'm gonna be messing around with while I wait for stuff to download.

 

[RecRoulette]

That Connor costume is dope

edit: oh man I need that sackboy tiger plush

 

[QuantumDream]

I hope there is a PS5 version of that special edition

 

[dedge]

Need that Sam costume.

 

[AndyD]

So couch coop correct? This could well be my first PS5 game to play with the kids all through Xmas break.

 

[HMD]

I hope that this means we get an LBP4 by Mm2. I need that Create aspect that makes the series so great, otherwise I'd play a 3D Mario or something.

 

[MrKlaw]

ok that video was pretty charming. Seems much smoother than the original presentation where it seemed a bit 'framey'

Has a LBP x Tearaway vibe going on which works for me

 

[Acquiescence]

I want that Connor costume. I also want Astro, Kat and Trico costumes.

 

[Grunty]

I am really looking forward to this. First game I'll be playing on PS5.

 

[KalBalboa]

Click to shrink...

Yeah, 4 player like all the other LBP console games.

 

[Deleted member 864]

Definitely looks fun, don't think I'll pick it up at launch but will probably get it further down the line.

 

[Rndom Grenadez]

Looks good but if it's LBP's floaty physics then it's a hard pass.

 

[Rover_]

this looks waaay too fun, also couch coop is a must. gonna buy once the price drops a little.

 

[Joule]

The game looks amazing. So much variety

 

[bbq of doom]

That Sackboy version of Bridges just looks odd, like he's stoned or something

Click to shrink...

How is that different from ordinary lol

 

[IMCaprica]

This game is the one I had the lowest expectations for (based on my own level of enjoyment of LBP). This looks awesome.

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

This was so random and looked underwhelming when first announced. But this video is much better.

 

[swimming]

prolly def picking this up if it averages anywhere in the 80s

So they really nailed Norman Reedus then.

 

[JaredTaco]

Oh wow. This has online co-op. Think they'll allow PS4 vs. PS5?

Edit: Does it have online co-op??? I see the blog post mentions online multiplayer requiring PSN, but sometimes those messages are misleading.

 

[Bundy]

Looks great! :D I love Sackboy.

 

[HardRojo]

You know what? Doing away with the creation stuff actually makes me more excited for this.

Same here, I don't really have much time to create stuff and learn tools (it's why I didn't create a single level in Mario Maker 2), so I never really bothered with LBP, but I enjoyed Tearaway a lot. I might get this, it's a cute platformer and we could definitely use more of those. I'm finishing Tropical Freeze soon, finished Mario Odyssey not too long ago and I'm looking forward to Crash 4.

 

[Chaystic]

Definitely Day 1 for me, can't wait to play it!

 

[black070]

This honestly looks great to me, I will probably end up picking this up at launch.

 

[Iwao]

Can just buy it and upgrade to ps5 for free

Edit: nvm sorry saw your other comment

Click to shrink...

Yeah, to be honest I'm curious about how the PS4->PS5 upgrades are going to work so I'll just sample it with Sackboy.

I hope there is a PS5 version of that special edition

Click to shrink...

I really wanted that too, but I don't think there's plans for it.

 

[Dizastah]

Day one.

 

[nextgeneration]

Surprised by this. It looks pretty good and I'd play it.

 

[Stinkinmushroom]

Looks pretty good but i dont trust Sumo Digital. This will be a 7/10 at best

 

[Pai Pai Master]

You just stick the disc in and it lets you download the PS5 version and that disc is your license key to play it essentially

At least thats how Miles works so I'm assuming the other Sony first party games work.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Oh wow. This has online co-op. Think they'll allow PS4 vs. PS5?

Edit: Does it have online co-op???

Click to shrink...

Yes, it has both online and offline co-op.
