Aug 8, 2010 | Justin Moody | PS3 News

Sony has recently released a new trailer for Media Molecule’s latest installment of the LittleBigPlanet franchise. The new footage reveals a “Cosmic-sized Adventure” where Sackboy will navigate his way across over fifty levels of gameplay. He will also have some support in the form of “The Alliance” which seems to be a group of special non-playable characters who will contribute to a more story-centric LBP2. In addition to new friends, Sackboy will now have an antagonist in the form of “The Evil Negativitron”, a dark presence that wants to destroy Craft World and everything inside.

EA announces Create

Aug 4, 2010 | Justin Moody | PS3 News

EA has just announced a new multi-platform title called Create. The game loosely ties together the expansive level creation tools of Little Big Planet with puzzle solving elements in a way that EA hope will work as a family title. The design tool aspect seems to be the central part of what they are trying to achieve, with the puzzles being more selective. “We wanted to design a game where the entire family can explore, decorate, and solve challenges where no solution is wrong and the only limit is the imagination” said Harvey Elliott, General Manager at EA Bright Light, the studio developing Create. In each scene the player is presented with ways to power-up their play and unlock new hidden areas, while being encouraged to experiment with objects and use effects to create simple, challenging solutions.

PSN and Retail Releases for the Week of 8/1/10

Aug 4, 2010 | Justin Moody | PS3 News

Some games are marked down as low as 50% so if you were even considering Echoshift or Fat Princess then it’s your lucky week. Those of you waiting for more retail releases for PS3 and PSP will be most disappointed indeed. Do what I do and use this “opportunity” to catch up on your backlog of games sitting on your entertainment center or maybe, just maybe, reread some Player Affinity articles.
