Sackboy: A Big Adventure - Working From Home
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
User banned (1 month): platform wars, continued, long history of platform wars
The work they've done for PlayStation is incredible considering covid.
Given yesterday's Direct, Nintendo might want to look into hiring these guys to bolster their first party efforts...

This is the first thing I though when I watched the video......but I didn't want to bring it up first. lol
Edit:
Shouldn't have fed into this. Apologies.

Will watch this when I get home from work.
What a great game this was. I just finished it last night. The first couple of worlds could have used a little more difficulty and creativity, but man, by world three, this is a great game that gets better the further in you get.
I hope the game is successful enough for them to get to do another.

Sumo did an amazing job with sack boy. To deliver such a fun and polished product under these circumstances and on time is absolutely fantastic.
I hope they get a chance to do a sequel.

Yay! A wholesome video quickly turned into a console war thread! >:D
....
>_>
...Regardless, Sackboy: A Big Adventure was my second favorite game last year. So, so good. Thanks for sharing this vid. It's awesome how good this game came out all things considered. Great stuff!

I have both a ps5 and a switch so don't want to throw shade in either direction, but seeing what are essentially a bunch of ports on the nintendo list did make me laugh.
of course there is no Spiderman, Twister wasn't counting remasters!
This really gives a lot of perspective to the challenges they faced, and explains things like why online multiplayer wasn't there at launch. They really did a great job all things considered.
For real, let's not turn this topic into another trash fire.
You legit listed a bunch of remasters and some non-Nintendo developed games and compared it to the incredible output at Sony? Lmao
edit: oh and you conveniently left off other great Sony games too.
Also, this video is great and it's cool to see some behind the scenes during this insane time we're living in.
Is this a joke post? A lot of those Nintendo games are ports or not even released yet.
Really impressive work given all the craziness that made a lot of that collaborative work more difficult last year. The game is wonderful, and they did an awesome job. It's really cool to see a video going into this too!
Post-Direct console war Era is fucking trash not going to lie.
Great vid, interested to see if Sony contract Sumo to do more work for them on LBP or something else to scratch that platformer itch.
As someone that mainly plays games on Playstation, I totally agree.
Nintendos favour back could be learning Sony how to market their more niched titles so they don't end up being dissapointments saleswise even though they're great (ie Gravity Rush, ie Dreams, ie Sackboy, ie Puppeteer, ie Playstation All Stars, ie Destruction All-Stars) ((also realize they aren't faiulers pe-se but you get my point))
How did this thread turn so shitty so quickly?
This is a great video, and highlights a lot of the high-levels challenges every dev team face, no matter the project. Building games at any scale remotely is just a monstrous task.

Yep. More people need to try it. It provides a hefty challenge too! Was really easy at the beginning but by the end I was digging deep. lol
Quite timely for me since I started co-op on Sackboy a few days ago. I wonder if they'll work on any more Sackboy projects. They worked with Sony on LBP3 at the beginning of last gen, so there's some kind of endearment they have to the character.
"devolves" implies it was ever any better. The discourse here has always been driven by insecure fanatics and console warriors.
You listed a bunch of ports and unreleased games from Nintendo and left off a ton of Sony games.
Not very slick lol.
I can't wait for your video on home working when the next god of war is out :-)
Development cycle for remasters: press the "remaster" button, go gold.
Development cycle for "ports" with added new hours-long content: (spoken aloud to dev unit) "Computer: port program. New content override, authorization 'ResetEra Alpha' ", go gold.
Development cycle for smaller games: declare it's actually DLC and not a whole game, snap fingers, go gold.
Ugh. As if it is this easy to work separated and from home, or on any project really.
That was a great video. It's a fun game with a great presentaion and soundtrack, go play it and be happy for a change.

This was an awesome little video, props to all the developers out there adapting.
Over fucking releases during COVID no less, like is nothing out of bounds for you all.

I like to tell myself it was better in the first few months but you may be right.
So was bringing up Nintendo in this thread, which you didn't mind agreeing with, which started the whole stupidity in this thread including the idiotic list war, but yeah. Congrats on ruining a potentially good thread, everyone.
