The series brought just a smidge of that creativity we'd mainly see in the PC modding scene to the PS3 and PS4 - it turned consumers into creators.ĪLSO READ: Days Gone Needs A Sequel, Not A Movie Around Halloween or Christmas I'd dive into lovingly crafted festive-themed levels to get into the mood, and particularly in LBP 3 I remember some incredibly well made party and board games. I remember my friend and I spending three hours trying to top the online leaderboards in a recreation of the original Donkey Kong. I couldn't tell you how many hours I spent trawling through player-made creations in the LittleBigPlanet games back in the early 2010s - a veritable galaxy of goofy and wonderfully inventive games that were mostly 2D platformers, but with LittleBigPlanet 3 branched out into top-down games, racing games, and even shooters. That's the real appeal of the Sackboy IP, and while Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be a nice little addition to Sony's PC repertoire, LittleBigPlanet would've been a phenomenon. Sackboy's recognisability is pretty much intertwined with the LittleBigPlanet series, which beyond the platforming was about creating a vast universe of player-made content. To be clear, there's nothing inherently wrong or offensive about Sackboy, but the cutesy pin cushion isn't recognisable for the memorable platforming adventures we've shared with him a la Mario, or Sonic, or Crash. But hey, Ariana Grande likes it, so there's that. Let's face it, Sackboy isn't exactly Crash or Ratchet as 'cute mascot' recognisability goes, nor is Sackboy's first spin-off game offering us anything significant on PC that we don't already have. On the one hand, that's cool and everything, especially as it marks another Sony IP to make its way over to PC, but given the nature of the former Sony exclusives that have, will, and we hope will come to PC, it's a bit of a shoulder-shrugger. No, ladies and gentlemen, it's Sackboy: A Big Adventure (cue irregular, muted applause). But is it Demon's Souls (which is in the GeForce leak), or perhaps Bloodborne ( which we're all praying in vain for)? Another first-party Playstation game is coming to PC, and another entry gets ticked off the impressively accurate GeForce Now leak, which at this point is something of a crystal ball for the PC release schedule.
