Is Little Big Planet hyped too much?

Don't get me wrong, I think LBP looks neat.  However, that being said, it is mainly just a level editor with basic platforming.  Yea, it can be fun still (as evidenced by braid) but in reality, that's all it is, a user generated game, for the most part.

I think it'll be good, but I don't think it'll blow anyone away.  Mainly, it's because of, well just try to imagine which looks like it'll be better (imagine actually playing it here)

I think it isnt hyped enough.

I don't have a PS3 but the game loooks very intriguing to me. I don't think it's overhyped but we don't really know if the game will justify the hype until it comes out.

I don't think so, not at all.

I think over hype kills games, You get all worked up then it apears to be rubish and you think "why did I spend that *insert cost of item here* on this?"

Dude, if anything, it isn't hyped enough. We need people to support these games.

for some reason Im having trouble editing:
what I really mean is that this is the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_05RAvUbTiI&feature=related
is that really awesome?  Yea, it has a great level creator, but so what?  You're creating these levels.  Is it that fun to play?

Looks solid.  But Im not saying AAA, looks very AAish.

SO OVER HYPED!  I don't know about you but i buy games to play them not to make the content for them.  For those saying its not hyped enough, how much hype you need?  Almost every game related site/program  go on and on about this game.   Sony even used the game to go over their marketing at E3.  Would a giant billboard in space be enough hype for you?  Hmmm hell i might start to beleave the hype if they did that...  lol

I don;t think it's even hyped enough, really. You have no idea until you actually get the game into your hands, even if its for a few minutes, seriously you will fall in love.

i can't see what special about it. it's user created content... big deal

"I don;t think it's even hyped enough, really. You have no idea until you actually get the game into your hands, even if its for a few minutes, seriously you will fall in love."

Zack & Wiki didn't get nearly the same amount of hype as this game.   Did nintendo even talk about that game?  Sony has been talking about LBP like it was the second coming.

O, I have a good idea what this game is about.  The only thing I don't know is if it has a story mode.

Its not being hyped. there isn't any hype, there is a LOT of buzz though. Theres a difference, because they're not hyping it and shoving it down our throats like haze or something. its the people and the critics going wild over it.

You don't have any idea until you get the game in your hands yet you know you will fall in love with it?  sure...

I just feel as though LBP is riding on the success of possibility, not game mechanics.   Itll be solid, but I doubt it'll be the endless awesome end all game.  It just seems like a buy, but not a game that everyone should have.
Almost like how I feel about gears (although for different reasons).  Great game, but it's not a must have-granted people will disagreee with me completely on gears- i personally didnt like it all that much in comparison to most.  My favorite genres are jrpgs, then platformers, then wrpgs, and then the rest are fine but it doesn't get a + automatically.   Sort of dislike racers, sports and fighters.  they get a - automatically, typically.  Subconciously usually."

You have no idea bro, you think it will be good and then old after a month? Lol... Just look at games such as N+ on the PC, user generated content was amazing for that. Or stuff for the program called Phun, that went booming as well. This has amazing potential and I really understand how you might think 'oh ok, looks cool, next', but really you have no idea how deep this could get with the level making, its pretty amazing, really limitless.

Just play the game before you judge it so harshly. Everyone in the media has and they have nothing but good things to say. That alone tells you its something."

Have another sip of the Sony coolaid Sentry. lol   "really limitless"  There are limits to every editor.  I am not saying there won't be good stuff made for this game, I am just saying when this game gets close to coming out it will make the hype for haze look small time.

err.. I'll skip the N+ example (i thought it was meh really) and media buzz isn't always great- remember killzone 1?  Yea...

anyway, I don't mean to bash LBP, it's just I don't think it'll be awesome.  I don't know how else to say it, but to me games either "click" at a point or they dont.  They can still be great games and never "click"- as were Dead Rising, Gears, etc. to me, but only certain games tend to click.  For me, this gen, only Lost Odyssey, Halo 3, Blue Dragon, and suprisingly (despite not being such a fan of the first) ninja gaiden 2 (never followed it- bought it on impulse for $45). 

I hope Im wrong, but I doubt it'll "click".

Lol, alright that's fine, I could care less if you don't think it will "click", but trust me, it will be huge, just play it deeply before judging like you have. Seriously there is a lot you probably don't know/pass judgment on."

Ofcourse not :P

LOL  its funny to see all the Sony Fanboys flip out about what that guy said.

those saying AAAA just based on good previews yes that is overhyped AAA for right now is ok but if this game fails with the good previews its getting I would be suprised it is just a matter of how long users can make content like Halo 3 forge mode sounded awesome before we had it but it lasted a good 2 months of forge fun.

Too bad A) GameDaily sucks, there was even a thread here on Giant Bomb about how everyone hates them, and B) Everyone else thinks the exact opposite so thats pretty pointless."

So far in response to the game daily link here are the common feeling.

Im a sonyfanboy and therefor if they think its gonna be bad then they are bad and they suck.
Opinions that do not mesh with my own suck.
People that have opinions that are opiset of mine should not be allowed opinions.

Thats some really sad feelings there.

Hmm I don't know if i would say the 360 is best console ever but i can see ppl making a argument for it to be.  I mean it has good games, it has a great market place,  It is very ez to play online.  I think the main thing that holds it back is the hardwear itself.  If it didn't breakdown as much as a PS2 i think that would give it a stronger case.

You know you're slipping into convenient delusion when you cite GameDaily as a source. Those are the same people who put Xbox 360 as the best console of all time."

Have you ever played a game called Garry's Mod?

Case in point.

Actually, to be honest, the xbox 360 is one of my favorite consoles.  Granted, I never owned a dreamcast or actually any sega system, but when people call the dreamcast the best console of all time, I just dont see why.  It had a couple of great games, but died in like 2 years.  The 360 is definatewly on pace to outdue the ps1. 
For me:(out of what ive owned): Xbox 360>  Ps1 > SNES > Ps2 > N64 >PS3>  Xbox > NES > Wii"

Most people don't even know anything about it and haven't heard of it. The only group that seems to be hyping it is the online game fanatics (like us).

Who knows? none of us schmucks have played it...

"

Wait ppl thing the dreamcast was the best system every?  When did this happen? LOL  i think to have a best system you have to last more then 3 years.   I look at it this way,  Best system has to fulfill 3 things

1) System Game quality
2) System longevity (aka how long the system is out on the market)
3) System stability  (aka it don't break down)

I say these 3 cause systems of old didn't have online stuf... heck some systems now still don't have real online stuff.  =P

"

With the amount of hype it has going in it seems like it will be really hard for LBP to live up now.

People say Dreamcast was best console at the time vs the ps1 and n64 graphic-wise plus you could play burned games without modding the console :P
On another note, I think LBP is a bit overhyped, I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the quality of the content created by users its enough to keep the game fresh or if it will only be good for a few days.

the dreamcast actually would more so be against the xbox/ps2.  Yea, I didn't know that at first either. "

LBP is basically gonna pull a RPG maker, ether you extremely love it or your gonna extremely hate it and prolly never mention it again.

amount sold shouldn't be a factor in how good a system is due to the fact that gaming has incresed in popularity after NES.   For me SNES was the best system, it had games, it never had a problem (if you took care of it), it lasted for just about 6 years.  PS1 and 2 may have lasted on the market longer but they just broke down to much for them to overtake SNES in my mind.

I'm glad that a game like Little Big Planet is over hype, they're too many big name games always taking most of the glory. Maybe if LBP is hype up enough, it'll capture a lot of gamers interest into buying it.

its like 4 people who baught halo and hated forge or 4 those who hate garys mod either you hate it or u love it.
personaly i just want a decent platform where i can put llitle stickers on it :)
