All Articles: LittleBigPlanet 3

When the screens went dark at Sony’s E3 Press Conference, then lit back up again with LittleBigPlanet 3 plastered all over the screens, I made some kind of inhuman choked noise and lost my senses for a moment. Then, when the Media Molecule team up on stage started playing, I curled up into a ball in my chair and just kept saying things like “This is so cute I could die!” and “No!!” and “Joy puke! Joy puuuuke!!” By the end I was crying because I just couldn’t take it. Luckily, the trailer I cried through is now online, and you can watch it above.

Sackboy is joined by Oddsock, Toggle, and Swoop, three unique characters who all add a little something to the experience. Oddsock can wall jump and move faster than Sackboy, meaning he can run on little treadmills to open up areas and let Sackboy get through. Toggle is oversized and can move heavy things as well as stand on pressure plates to open up other areas; he can also shrink down to super tiny and get through little areas inaccessible to anyone else. And Swoop can fly, and can help Sackboy and their buddies out of jams. As they showed each character, I fell apart more and more, because the cuteness was just too much.

LittleBigPlanet is slated to be out sometime in November of this year (!!!) for PlayStation 4. Oh, and did you know you’ll be able to play all those millions of levels that have already been created in the previous games? Just take a few days off in November – you’ll thank me later.

Continuing with the surprises, Sony announced another big PS4 title: LittleBigPlanet 3!

The third iteration of the series brings new characters Oddsock (a SackDog), Toggle (a SackBrawler), and Swoop (a SackBird) to the game, further placing importance on cooperation. Each character will have their own abilities. Swoop can fly, Oddsock can run up walls, and Toggle’s weight can trip switches. Toggle can also become tiny in order to fit in small places.

Expect LBP3 to hit stores in November.
