Character » appears in 21 games
The beloved main character from the PlayStation Exclusive title, LittleBigPlanet.
Sackboy to become Official Sony Mascot.
We were talking about Sackboy becoming Sony's mascot a few weeks back...I just hope Sony doesn't make Sackboy the ONLY mascot but rather have multiple mascots like they have in the passed.
Yeah I was talking about how they have Kratos, Sackboy, R&C, etc. I'd much rather have multiple mascots instead of just one who was the face of Sony.
"We were talking about Sackboy becoming Sony's mascot a few weeks back...I just hope Sony doesn't make Sackboy the ONLY mascot but rather have multiple mascots like they have in the passed."Sackboy IS multiple mascots. He is Sackboy Kratos and Sackboy Snake and Sackboy anybody.
"A great Mascot to! It lost both Crash and Spro and since then Playstation hasn't had its "Mario" but its good they do now hopefully they push LBP hard because its an awesome game!"a great mascot to what?
"nerdboy said:Hideo Kojima Sackboy?!?!?!?!"We were talking about Sackboy becoming Sony's mascot a few weeks back...I just hope Sony doesn't make Sackboy the ONLY mascot but rather have multiple mascots like they have in the passed."Sackboy IS multiple mascots.

"Mascots are what you think of when you think of a systems Future. And I don't know about you, but LittleBigPlanet is my most anticipated game. Period. It works for me."Works for me too.
Not that I really care about mascots they don't affect my games in any way.
But if one had to be chosen Sackboy would be the obvious one since he can be whatever the hell people want him to be
Yeah I brought this up in the Sackboy section a few weeks ago... I guess I was right :).
But really, sackboy is a really good choice because he makes you smile, and if we learn anything from Nintendo, smiling = $$$. The problem with Kratos and solid snake being the face of Playstation is that they are not family friendly characters, they are bad ass, but if you want a face for your product you want it to be accessible to as many people as possible, aka Mario.
Unusual choice, but not completely left field. I applaud Sony for finally wanting to bring an icon or a character to the forefront of the Playstation name.
I hope this doesn't mean that we'll see like 1 billion Little Big Planet games come out that suck.
An even worse thing would be like...Sackboy Tennis, or Sackboy Kart. *shudders*
But I trust the Media Molecule guys to do the right thing.
I think it's a good idea, this is going to be their foray into less hardcore gaming and a game that they hope is going to last for years on the console and perpetuate it's ownership. I can't think of another person...besides maybe snake, but that's too aimed at the hardcore market.

"Oh my god everywhere I go nerdboy and shadows are... on eachother."I'm telling ya man......one day the Playstation 3 forum of Giant Bomb will be a wasteland....most would have been killed off somewhere around firmware 2.8, Liquid will be playing PoP in a cave somewhere, and a great war will take place between shadow and I. It'll be epic see ya there.
Anyway, at least this time we were on topic :P
Cool. This must mean LBP is actually good. I mean, do you think sony would use a mascot from a bad game?
