LittleBigPlanet 2 delayed to January 2011, delay is “disappointing,” says SCEE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Are you fucking retarded MM?

I mean thats just crazy.

So whats for Sony’s exclusives this year? Gran Turismo 5 only? The Fuck?

This is very bad. I mean seriously bad.

Well, what a surprise!

Christmas is looking a bit sparse on the platform exclusive front this year regardless of which machine you own. Good job we’ve got the third-parties.

@4 Oh you sound like a happy person, well i’m not.
I hope that sackboy will eat you alive. :3

Sony again fails here… So much pushed to the January, February, march and e.t.c., thats just crazy.

Bu-bu-but… It was the only other Sony title I gave a damn about this Q4.

All that’s left now is GT5!

This ought to happen.Well, GT5 is still coming.

Better late than never!

I’m not posting too fast you bastard!

Whoops.

@3 – Short memory? Heavy Rain, God of War III, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Demon’s Souls, ModNation Racers, Move – Just from the top of my head.

I think he was talking about the ones that are still to come out, man. The Christmas specials, if you will.

@14 – Perhaps, but that wasn’t what he said :-p And with all the multi-platform games coming out, how is GT5 bad as the only exclusive? Aside from Kinect do MS have any others?

@1 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! was my initial reaction too

MS have Fable III and… that’s about it. Nintendo have Donkey Kong and…. that’s about it. Seems they all forgot about Christmas this year. Bah humbug.

Arr no

Well. GT5 is still coming. And that’ll be big.

I’ve been on the beta for the past couple of nights for something we’re planning, and honestly, the amount of originality on it is staggering.

That Stereo/Mono level is properly amazing. Anyone who’s played it knows what I mean.

Properly gutted this has been delayed.

Boo, now I have to find a different game to entertain me for a while.

@17

The Wii will be the console with the most exclusives this autumn by the looks of things.

Kirby, Donkey Kong, Epic Mickey.

I suppose you could list all the Kinect titles on 360, but I’m trying to think of the titles people actually care about.

@djsecondnature, i said about Christmas Only.

if we are talking ps3 exclusives until christmas, not having to be just pubbed by sony then theres

atelier rorona
singstar guitar
a new buzz
gt5
a bunch of move games
maybe dc universe (not sure on that one)

and if its allowed as its only coming to wii as well sengoku basara

Kirby’s not out in Europe until 2011, onlineatron. I’d forgotten about Epic Mickey though, although that’s not first-party.

Sony fails like always

Well even though the holiday exclusive titles seem a bit short, this being released in January works out fine I believe.

January is sparse for titles (all we have is Dead Space 2 and ME2(for the PS3), maybe a live/psn title somewhere but that’s it. If this gets released in the first week of January that’s good for sales. I mean look at Bayonetta and Darksiders (sure the price for those games dropped ridiculously in the UK after 2/3 months but so did the first LBP).

January is a good time unlike February or March when it’s overloaded like this October/November. While I dislike delays sometimes it works out great, LBP one was delayed because of a song, Batman AA delayed for a few bug fixes. It’s just two months

@24
Oh, really? Awww

wow

the sad thing is when i first saw lbp2 announced i thought there is no way this will make 2010 it’ll be delayed but then it looked like it was so far along that it could be done

and now this? Seriously if this is just a marketing move sony then you have failed massively:

January – lbp2, dead space 2, ME2 PS3, WoW cataclysm?
February – Bulletstorm, Killzone 3, portal 2, deus ex 3
March – Crysis 2, Dragon Age 2, Homefront
April – gears 3
Q1 – ghost recon, fear 3

Seriously this is a very stupid move sony

I don’t understand the desire to have so many high-budget titles in the first half of the year now.

Surely they would benifit more from a Summer or Christmas release?

Summer is usually empty and can make games sell like hotcakes (Mafia II, Batman) and Christmas is Christmas.

But the first half of the year is when everyone is recovering financially from Xmas, looking at tax bills etc, it’s not good!

Well at least this means i won’t be tempted to get a PS3 this year

@28
It’s not really a “move” though is it? It’s a reality. At least its at the beginning of the crowded period and it distinguishes itself by being nothing like any of the others there. There is also the assumption none of the others are going to slip too.

Sony have been decidedly rubbish at getting stuff out the door this generation though. One of their biggest failings.

@AHA – Not exactly.

If Sony releases it in a quiet week in January like Darksiders and Bayonetta this year, probably the first week of 2011 (January 3 – 7), then it’ll do alright.

Aww well, I suppose if they have to iron out the bugs ETC then I’d prefer that than a “we’ll patch it in later” attitude.

nice
to save my money for the other games

It’s got to be a hard decision to make, delaying something like this.
I’m sure MM know what they are doing, the footage so far looks fantastic, and the beta feedback sounds impressive also.
Looks like you will only be seeing one sack this christmass…Santas.

Take from that what you will.

Given how many people said “Stupid Sony!” when the original date was announced it’s always funny to see people say “Stupid Sony!” when the date has been changed. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

No matter what the game is, I’d prefer to have a later better game than an earlier, worse one.

Given the stupendous array of superb games available for all machines in all genres I can’t imagine a two month delay is going to leave gamers stuck with nothing else worth playing.

@Kerplunk

Totally agree on all fronts. My wallet and my sanity appreciate all the delays as well.

Oh fuck.

it was delayed on purpose so all the spotlight can be on gt5. i myself found it abit odd that they would consider releasing gt5 alongside lbp2. Two first party sony exclusives in the same month isnt a smart decision

Not for nothing, but gift cards are all the rage around here – meaning if MM can get LBP2 out the door just after the first of the year, they may well still be able to cash in on xmass shopping.

That being said, this, more then any other game, was meant to be under our family tree. Guess will keep our eye on that Rock Band 3 keyboard or maybe something from Move. Or maybe we will just wait, LBP2 should have thousands of hours of enjoyment with it. Looks like a great value, would likly have been my GOTY.

@37 and 39 +1

@Erthazus:

“Are you fucking retarded MM?

This is very bad. I mean seriously bad.”

Errr no you didn’t. If that’s what you meant then okay, but you didn’t state it, hence why it was a stupid remark.

but this will be a fantastic game when it ships in Jan 2011

If you’re going to release a game, do it right. Better to delay than release it with broken code. It’s a tough decision, but the right one.

i’m still listening to debut trailer’s song xD it’s so so so so so so bad that it’s delayed:(

This isn’t too bad for me im getting assasins creed brotherhood,gt5,and cod black ops in november so it will save me money and i would rather them get a finished polished game out then rush it.

to be honest if this would affect the new gameplay mechanics i dont mind waiting a little longer

Awwww. =(

This makes Michael a sad panda.

But hey, if it means the final product is all the more polished because of this, its a delay that’s worth it. I want LBP2 to be the best game it can be when its finally released.
