THIS is the game that will sell PS3's (video)

It looks awesome, but won't sell many PS3s alone. I'm very impressed still.

That is the cutest game I've ever seen.

It looks like fun assuming you have three other people. It probably won't be as fun with only two people. But if it has online coop, that would solve the problem.

You can't toss extreme mario on there and expect everyone to drop a load in their pants over it. People aren't going to pay a premium for something that could be done on the Wii or PS2.

I don't think they Wii or PS2 could pull off that game with the same graphics and physics. And you might be right about the demographic, but that fits into my complaint. Too many gamers are obsessed with FPS and 3D these days. I'd rather player this game than the next FPS that's hiding its generic gameplay behind stunning visuals. Maybe I'll be one of the few PS3 owners that buys it, but if so, that's a shame.

This game is called LittleBigPlanet and it will have online coop and Sony is saying that this is a "community based game." Interesting, but we will see.

But to hear Sony explain it, that's just the start, as the customization and community aspects are huge parts of this game. Players will be able to create their own levels and share them online, using what looks to be a pretty extensive level editor. Thanks to the game's physics system, you'll be able to drop items in and play with them easily -- in an example shown by Sony, you can create a wooden wall, place a steering wheel on it, then jump up and start running on the steering wheel like some kind of odd hamster.

Of course, the basic abilities to jump, push and pull are just the start your character's skills -- we witnessed flying in jetpacks, characters hitting each other and taking a bow with the motion sensor support in the PS3 controller, and tons of objects that you can interact with in the environments. Mix all that with the ability to paint and decorate your environments and you've got a lot of potential for creating fun levels. Here's hoping the variety keeps up beyond what Sony is showing at GDC.
