Though definitely not as cute as LittleBigPlanet, Microsoft's new Xbox Live "creative playground" game Kodu promises to have its own charms. Microsoft previewed Kodu at the ongoing CES, even pulling a 12-year-old girl to the stage to demonstrate how easy the game is to play. It's pretty cool, like a create-your-own Lego world.
The game, formerly known as Boku, basically allows you to build your own world, or even create your own game. It has 200 different game-creation building blocks, but the PR promises it to be a simple pick-up-and-play game for anyone from ages 7 to 70. It looks fun, though I'm not entirely sure just how much fun it'll be. If all you do is create worlds and run around, I'll stick to SimCity. |

Not to mention those buttons that mysteriously have turned into triggers on the PS3. :)
Next the PS fanboi's will be acusing MS of stealing the idea of putting games on an optical disc.
But yeah this is a bit of knock off of little big planet, it just annoys me when PS fanboi's can't see that sony isn't much better.
Hopefully MS stop touting god d4mn viva piniata now. Geez that game annoys me.
Rare complete lost the plot when they made that game. Actually I think Rare was MS' single most stupid purchase in their history. They haven't made one decent game for the 360 all of their stuff is stuck back in the mid 90s. I'm sure there's some nostalgia there for old N64 fans but not for anyone that only played the N64 for goldeneye.

» Yay!!
I don't have to buy a PS3!!!!! Go XBOX!!
Seriously, is this a big deal? Is that the response you're looking for? Killzone was declared by Sony to be a Halo killer. Dark Cloud was the Zelda killer. Supposedly. Sony fans had to buy those games because they had nothing like Halo or Zelda on a PS2. I'll be downloading this because I don't have a PS3 nor will I ever buy one. It'll be 50 dollars cheaper than LBP if it remains a Live Arcade game. Can't wait!! ^_^

» lol,, HAHA!!!
everyone copies everyone... nothing to do about it
yes SONY got alot of ideas of MS, but MS too got lots of ideas off Nintendo, and a few of SONY... you know how it is..
and im not gonna say BOKU (forgot the new name :P )is a copy of LBP.
obviously they got the "create"-idea off LBP, no denying that,,, but it's a different system (or so it seem) i could understand if they had called it BIGLittleUniverves, and made the charaters cute little robots,, and made it a side scroller.... they didn't... i just think veryone should take it easy...
also to add my personal oppinion, boku doesn't look interesting at all (not for me), but LBP does.
lol to return to idea-ripping.... SONY were the 1st ones to make a FLAT screen, rather than that bubly screen... and then everyone began making that,,, though now we have flat-screens (LCD/PLASMA HD-TVs) and the screen are still flat...
just pointing out that everyone copies everyone.. SONY made a FLAT screen,, and then everyone else did too. so nothing wrong in that. good day

» also!! answer to above!
you do all realize that, SONY doesn't necesarily decide to add all those things that MS has: the user does!
like many many users who have a PS3 once had a X360, so they think "could be cool if they added that",, so they begin to talk about adding in-game music etc..
also peeople make request' to SONY for them to add things... like the triggers.....just saying that it's not always the company' fault!
because if they didn't do what the user want, then they would all leave! which makes it seem pretty obvious why all the current consoles have alot from eachother!!
so you are theoraticly right that the controller layout is from MS, but that might just be the fans that wanted it to be so... i mean.. the fans disliked the boomerang controller, so SONY changed it into whta we have today, the traditional controller, with X-abilitys :P (so to speak)
hope you all understand what i mean :D

» what imagination M$...
1st they copy the playstation 2 with their xbox, than the wii with their new interface, even using avatars like the Miis in new arcade games, and now they copy sony's little big planet. Wow, I never liked M$, but this is beginning to be really lame.

» seriously?
ms copied the ps2? give me a break...
the ps3 is more of an xbox clone than the xbox is a ps2 clone... internal storage, check. built-in networking, check. gaming service, kinda check.
microsoft used avatars long before the wii...
user generated content has been around alot longer than even your precious playstation brand...
you seem to ignore any good ideas sony has ever gotten from anyone else.
the playstation line of game systems wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for nintendo talking to sony about a cd based addon. so go thank nintendo...
i'm not claiming that ms is some super original company, but neither is sony.

im curious on how much time do you really think bill gates himself spends working on xbox stuff... probably a lot less time then he does cleaning his own toilet.... everyone steals from everyone im not really sure what the point is of this whole console war, but im trying to put an end to it.. lets argue about something relevant like is yellow american cheese taste better then white american cheese....
