EA Announces Create, A Game About...Creation

It'll be better than Kodu.

It's hard to see past the Zerg rush, but before Blizzard's RTS hit the streets, one of the big things we talked about was customizable play--the concepts you see in games like LittleBigPlanet or Kodu. With neither of these titles in EA's stable, it was about time that we had a game like Create, an EA Play Label joint that looks to be a watered down version of those aforementioned titles.

In Create, you'll design open environments with tools like brushes and textures, and solve individual "level-based challenges" created by designers. The latter action will, in turn, earn players even more tools for design. Warning, though: Create is a baby-friendly title. It probably won't allow us the opportunity to build a killer triple-decker ramp off of The Mona Lisa's schnoz.
  
“Create uses families’ imaginations to develop new ways to play together that are both fun and challenging," Harvey Elliot, GM at EA Bright Light said in a statement. “We wanted to design a game where the entire family can explore, decorate, and solve challenges where no solution is wrong and the only limit is the imagination." 
 
 

 

In a cool twist, you'll be able to upload your creations and challenges and share them with friends on the Xbox 360, Mac, PS3, and PC versions of Create. Said buds can then "remix" the levels and add in dongs, curse words, set new challenges based on your old ones, or do whatever else they desire.

Create is coming to the PS3, Macintosh, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii this November. The PS3 version will support Move control. No word on the 360 version supporting Kinect

Looks really dull, until the last shot of the bike on the skateboard... tbh I've never seen anything like that before.

This looks pretty generic. It also doesn't look very fun.

I don't understand the point of being able to make content for a game if all you can do with the content is add more to it. This seems lore like a toy than a game, which is fine, but I'm just not interested.

I don't know, I find the create-your-own-content games to be interesting, but in the end, if the game requires me to make my own content to have fun, I tend to get bored quickly. 
 
After a long day at work, it's so much easier to sit down with a game that spoon-feeds you it's own content, after all - Procrastination is these games' worst enemy! ;)

Looks interesting, however seems to be lacking the different modes that LittleBigPlanet 2 has. It seems like this only has driving?

EA have a habit of doing this. See a successful game  out there and then copy it. What else is the new Medal of Honor if not COD ? What else is EASports MMA if not a blatant copy of THQ's wrestling game. I could go on...

Seems like it could be fun, but I was hoping for some Darwinian piece of Tea Party-enraging controversy, myself.

Wow. 55 pages. Guess it's mostly because of the quests.. ;)

It does really just seem like a completely stripped-down LBP. Good for EA though, I guess.

Why the eff does EA think that this will do anything that LBP doesn't already? Just seems like a dumb idea, really.

Considering I haven't played Little Big Planet or any other similar game, I'm not really sure if I want to pay $40-$60 for a game I have to do all the work in.  I guess some want to design their own game, but I want to get paid to design levels, not pay to do so.
