this thread has made me miss the days of crash 1, 2 and 3. The best thing about Sackboy though is that he is simple, customizable, cute and memorable. All you need for a good mascot.
Sackboy
Character » appears in 21 games
The beloved main character from the PlayStation Exclusive title, LittleBigPlanet.
Sackboy to become Official Sony Mascot.
"Who's the Xbox 360 mascot? Master Chief? The guy from Gears of War?"I would guess Master Chief. And Nintendo is the obvious Mario....though it seems like Nintendo wants their new mascot to be peripherals....
"Sentry said:im ready for it :) your going down. also sentry you can join this battle too. were also NOT GAY.cause you did say on each other..."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"
"Who's the Xbox 360 mascot? Master Chief? The guy from Gears of War?"its master chief
"shadows_kill said:or did they..(dude lets see how weird we can contine making this thing. see if it takes up a whole screen :P"nerdboy said:Yep...if I remember correctly I brought it up....then everyone was like...OH YEAH that sounds good. :P""shadows_kill said:i think last topic we decided on that :P""nerdboy said:This is true. Either way.....Sony should just keep with the multiple mascots.""shadows_kill said:ive been gone for 2 weeks and i was around longer than that...it feels like months too""nerdboy said:But the websites only been around for like 3 weeks....""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."it was more like months..it was my topic too"
"nerdboy said:I was thinking the same thing when he said that...."Sentry said:im ready for it :) your going down. also sentry you can join this battle too. were also NOT GAY.cause you did say on each other...""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.

"They could turn him into a flexible mascot as well in that as evident from the Nariko and Kratos Sackboys, it could be a universal representation of their games. Uncharted and Resistance Sackboys anyone?"Totally, Chimera sackboy, Clank sackboy, Ratchet sackboy, R&C sackboy, Snake sackboy, etc.
"Illmatic said:Raiden Sackboy, Vamp Sackboy, Nariko Sackgirl....."They could turn him into a flexible mascot as well in that as evident from the Nariko and Kratos Sackboys, it could be a universal representation of their games.

I dont think that sack boy should be sonys only mascot, I think resistance, motorstorm, infamous, ratchet and clank and lots more should share it.
If you can remember all the way back to sonys 2007 holiday advertising campain, they had a montage of games. (i personally think it was one of the best console ads ever) I dont see why they cant do that with a mascott.

Like I said somewhere else.

"Why is everyone taking the 'mascot' thing out of proportion? Didn't we all already know that? PS has many "mascots", from Kratos to Snake. Didn't you guys see the E3 conference? They showed on each screen some memorable characters from PS, such as Snake, Hale, Kratos, etc. Then they added Sackboy onto a screen.. that was the point, another character to the PS family, basically, not the definite mascot of all things playstation...
Yeah, a console bundle will happen eventually, but it isn't needed.
Again, I think people (and the media) are taking the whole mascot thing way too seriously.."
I would like him as the mascot. The other bonus is, you can dress him up like other characters so he can promote characters and games.
"I would like him as the mascot. The other bonus is, you can dress him up like other characters so he can promote characters and games."Oh my god, you're right!
I can't believe non of us thought of that part before.
Oh wait, we did :P

Sackboy is teh shit :D Tho, Sony does the whole multiple Icon thing, always have. They don't have just one face that promotes their platforms (*Cough Mario, Hack Master Chief ;) ).
"nerdboy said:Sackboy Mario Cheif. LOL I could see that for a commercial "Nintendo and Microsoft ain't got shit on Sackboy Mario Cheif.""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."
I think Sony are really putting too much faith into LittleBigPlanet. It looks good, but I can't really extend my interest further than that and i'm dying for a new big game to play on my PS3.
"I think Sony are really putting too much faith into LittleBigPlanet.

All along Sony was like "look, kewl game eh!?" and the media is like "OMFG AWESOME STUFF" and Sony smiles. They could be doing A LOT more to promote it and get behind it.
I'll play this game just like the rest of you, hopefully I'll get into it, but the fact that we're already way past the point of SackBoy oversaturation and the first game he debuts in hasn't even launched yet makes me feel like Sackboy is an enormous shithead. I like Halo, but now I feel the same way about Sackboy that I feel about Masterchief. That Sackboy is a real dickhead. I mean honestly, "Sackboy."
