Little Big Planet 3 is in the works, but for what system?

Both LBP inspired games Modnation Racers + LBP Karting were done by outside groups and they both sucked.

I have no high hopes for this without MM attached.

Well most racing games suck IMO. I didn't play either..

Apparently Sumo Digital did work on some LBP2 DLC so they've clearly got experience working with the series.

I really am not comfortable entrusting a whole game to people outside of MM. This is a special special franchise and it should be respected.

Will simply cross my fingers and hope for the best.

I thought LBP Vita was alright. Not MM-good, but probably the best effort with their IP. From my experience, the worst part about LBP Vita was the online code.

well my problem with both of them are problems I have with most karting games in general and that is the implementation of weapons. I don't want to keep getting slammed in the back with rockets and shit. I don't want to have my progress ****ed over by someone who hits me with a lucky shot and suddenly I drop from 1st place with about a couple feet to go to finishing 6th.

I just wanna race! Is that too much to ask? Just give me racing, preferably with a lower rate of rubberbanding. Keep your weapons out of it. Keep the booster type powerups and whatnot if you have to, but take out that attack/defense bullshit.

That's what killed my enjoyment of LBPK and Modnation.

I loved in LBP2 the community pins. I'd like to see much much much more of those for everything around. I love the sound effect of those pins popping up.

Mario Kart 64 was and will always be the best Karting game ever. That game was all about battle.

I love the concept of LBP but have always felt it was a terrible platformer. Floaty jumps and weird running inertia never made it feel like you had tight control over Sackboy in either of the core PS3 games or the PSP/Vita versions.

Compare and contrast the movement controls in LBP to good platformers like Super Mario Brothers, Mega Man, or even Guacamelee.

If Sony wants the series to really take off, the gameplay needs to be tightened considerably so that players feel more like they ARE Sackboy, instead of a puppeteer controlling him.

I just liked building levels. I never thought there was anything wrong with sackboy's movement.

Agreed. I love the movements. He's made of sack cloth and stuffing. He's not going to weigh the same as a human being, so I don't have a problem with the floating type feel to the jumps and whatnot.

If it was like Mario It would probably not be as fun to play, perhaps.

Icemage must be referring to multiplayer online issues. At no point in my level-acing solo level runs did I encounter the type of issues they were referring to. As soon as I had a single friend join me via online play, I experienced the "floaty jumps" and the "puppeteer" qualities mentioned.

It should also be mentioned tha I never experienced those effects with multiple controller multiplayer (4 controllers in the same room and on the same PS3).



As for LBP3? I've been very unimpressed with Sumo Digital's handling of everything LBP related. If Media Molecule isn't spearheading the production of the game, I'm 90% certain that I will pass on it just for that reason.
