Boku: hailed as "Microsoft's answer to LittleBigPlanet"
Posted Oct 31, 2008 at 6:45AM EST by QJ Staff

The Wii has Miis, so Microsoft got Avatars. Now the PlayStation 3 has LittleBigPlanet so Microsoft got... Boku? They're not calling it a game though, just so it's not that obvious; it's a "visual programming language."

Far from being a sackboy, Boku is a little robot head with cartoony eyes, which kinda reminds me of EVE in Wall-E. Boku can then be programmed with a graphical language to do any number of things. However cute Boku is though, the selling point is the graphical programming language, which allows you to create your own games.

LittleBokuPlanet Boku is designed to be a lightweight programming language for kids. Here are some videos of the game, err, "visual programming language":

I don't think this as an answer of microsoft to LBP.



I think it creates a whole new genre of gaming, just like what LBP did.

# I don't really care if one did copy off the other — Specht 2008-10-31 09:38
I just want more games like this. When I played the LittleBigCalcul ator online level in LBP it was the first time I was creatively inspired by a video game since the music mode in Mario Paint.

Why don't you get into modding? The Source engine is a good starting point and gives you tools that far surpasses anything you will see in a video game.

# Not the same as lbp — Dougie321 2008-10-31 12:02
Its like saying, the xbox 360 is microsofts answer to sony's playstation 3, because its only the concept that is the same. Looks to me like there is alot more customization than lbp if were comparing. plus its 3d and there isnt the objective of getting to the end of the map or whatever in every game.

# you are true — misthero 2008-10-31 12:28
it's not the same, Little Big Planet is a game with a powerful editor, this is a programming language for kids, it doesn't sound the same...

Copy dualshock?? copy mii's??? LBP?? take a look at what you have said, dualshock is vibration, lots of stuff has it. The new Xbox experiance is totally different to mii's and as ive said before this is far different from LBP, only the concept. Now stop coming onto the internet to waste time.
