Sackboy: A Big Adventure Special Editions Leaked Online

We have our Bethesda Killer Title lets goooooo

@DonJorginho LOL

That legit made me laugh out loud.

The real question is: where's my Demon's Souls special edition with a steelbook case?

Assure me the local multiplayer trophy and save issues have finally been sorted snd I might play it with the wife.

I thought I was done with special editions... but maybe I'm not

I'll have to get that Sackboy plush. For the kids, I mean.

In fact, I'd better get two, so they don't fight over it.

And a third one, just in case there's a house fire.

God, I'm such a selfless father, I really do impress myself sometimes.

Plush is great, but with the prices of games increasing, i think i am done with special editions sadly

I LOVE the plush But I never ever bother with things like this, the extra stuff in game I just find them POINTLESS really. Might get this game day 1 tho(I LOVE Sackboy)

Looks great, but surprised to see this one on PS4 as well. With Microsoft's offering hotting up by the minute it feels a bit like Sony need to start getting some wins PR-wise. Next few weeks will be interesting!

i don't see Spider-Man Miles Morales, Sackboy Adventure, Godfall in Playstation Store for pre-order

After the last little big planet 3 game i hope this one is less about making your own levels and more about levels they have made.

@Luna-Harmony “The LittleBigPlanet spin-off ditches Create mode in favour of a fully fledged 3D platformer for up to four players”

One of the games I'm most excited for!And does the Ps5 version get the Plushie too?cuz I wantz it..

@Rob_230 This, exactly. I was happy to kick in some extra money for swag, I still have my big plush sackboy from LBP2. But for $70 for a game, there's not the slight chance in heck I'm paying more for swag, the game already costs far too much.

@DonJorginho Knack 3 or we riot.

@NEStalgia Knackered 😂

@NEStalgia Exactly! I dread to think what stuff might cost in a couple of years. Im going to have to be very disciplined this gen i think, because i really can't justify dropping £70 on anything other than the absolute must haves. Otherwise i think most games will be in 'wait for a sale' territory for me

@Rob_230 Yeah. I'm starting to think, especially with digital, that the $70 is a place holder for day 1 whales and sales will have to be abundant. It just can't work otherwise. Too many of us even hardcore players are talking about waiting for sales and reducing purchases. It's an odd add on effect. If they ran a big sale with a bunch of $60 games for $29.99, I'd probably dive in, go crazy and end up buying $150-200 worth to "stock up." I do do that. yet at $70 I can see myself just picking a game here or there on occasion. Reverting to a 1990's way of buying games, and overall spending much less per year because each purchase carries so much more weight and less perceived value. At $50 I was basically "pre-order EVERYTHING that interests me during E3!" At $70 my midset is "what 3 or 4 games might I reeeaally want this year?" It's "only" $20 difference from then, but the perceived value is so much lower it makes me overcompensate and significantly reel in spending. It's not an impulse buy anymore.

It sounds like many of us will be doing that. I'm not sure how their game sales will like significantly reduced sales volume just to make $10 more each purchase. I think it's going to work against them. Not at launch. But over time, and fairly fast. They're testing the waters, but if it's a net loss with reduced sales, something will have to give.

@NEStalgia Exactly. And at a time when 3 months of gamepass costs 35 pounds, you can see why a number of people might jump to Xbox.

To have a launch game to play, i've bought the ultimate edition of Spiderman Miles Morales (with the Spidey 1 remaster) for £70. I think that's all i will be getting.

I would have bought Demons Souls and Sackboy, but no way im paying 70 for Souls when i may not enjoy it due to the high level of difficulty. I know Sackboy is a little cheaper but even then its overpriced.

I actually have Cyberpunk on preorder on PS4 for about 45 pounds. That will tie me over until either those launch games drop (considerably in price) or Ratchet comes out.

But again, i struggle to justify spending that kind of money on any non-essential purchase, so i still think i'll have to be patient and Ratchet will have to wait.

I agree that, in the long run, Sony lose out. Consumers would definitely buy more games across the generation at a lower cost. Whilst i appreciate the cost of game development has gone up, the increase is too much.

Really dont understand the logic of buying the digital system. Players are locking themselves into the Playstation ecosystem meaning they are completely at the mercy of Sony's pricing and when they decide to have a sale. No lending of games with friends or family (which i think i'll be doing much more of), no picking up second hand titles, and no cheaper brand new prices due to fierce competition on the high street / between online retailers

@Rob_230 It's just so weird their theyre trying to justify ever rising costs instead of drive costs down. I'm sure there banking on the idea that as there's more and more people in the world there's ever more gentry to sell to, even if it's the same percentage of society. But that still isn't consistent with them trying to keep hardware costs low and still aims to reduce sales overall, unless it's really a play to enter Chinas luxury market. Can't imagine them loving selling less games.

Game dev costs have gone down in many areas, and certainly haven't gone up proportional to market growth. In 2000 selling a million copies was almost unheard of. Today games sell tens of millions routinely even with more competition than ever.

I'm still curious if ms will strike out at lower than 70 and really one up Sony. Maybe these companies could set project scopes to reasonable levels to begin with. Then again, movies cost a lot more to make them even Sony's movie games. But they can sell for $20 or less....

The digital system... One thing to remember is in the us there's basically no such thing as day one discounts. Whether you buy on psn or in store it's msrp only. We had Amazon preorder discounts of $10 off, and best buy gcu that had an annual fee for the same, but that's gone. Rrp only. So there's really no savings on physical other than used games, older games, and selling games. By contrast the digital sales can be cheaper, though not always, and you have to wait for sales. And little of the us has the internet to support it anyway

Personally i have, hopefully, one of each of pre-order. I went mostly digital with ps4 purely because of game sharing. 2 consoles in the house, i buy a copy, we both get to play. I'm banking on the hope that Sony did not try to break sharing this gen. Xb and switch both support it. If they did break it, you will hear my fus do rah war cries and Microsoft green face paint from wherever you are. Game sharing with swapping consoles is the whole point of buying this thing, and there's no chance in the world I'm buying 2 $70 copies of any game! I buy twice the games, sony gets the same money, everybody's happy. But this is vindictive Sony now.

@Rob_230 also, btw, good call on souls. It's super super niche. If you haven't played a souls game and don't know what you're in for, it's definitely not worth $70. For the true fans it seems to be the most beloved series ever, along with Bloodborne. Personally i don't get the love. I got Bloodborne for free with plus and feel like i overpayed . I have dark souls 1 on switch, 2 and 3 on xbo. Out of them i like ds3 best, but true fans like it least. I think it's an acquired taste. If it clicks with you, it's amazing, apparently, if it doesn't you sit there wishing you were doing something fun.... I'm in the latter camp. If it's ever on plus I'll grab it for the lulz of pretty gfx. It's pretty darned niche for a launch title let alone at 70.

I like nioh much more. Similar concept, also hard as nails, still frustrating, but less boring and now action filled. I will don't love it but for the genre it's a better time to me. Enough i snagged 2 on the summer digital sale.

@KidBoruto there's not exactly much coherent plot in lbp games. It's just a single self contained entirely nonsensical puppet show story. Cute, memorable even, but throw away. You'll be more than fine starting here.

Sackboy Tiger Plush sounds like one of those awful obscure songs that come out of nowhere and stay at number 1 in the charts for months.

@JoeyTS Excellent LBP3 was all about creating and lacked levels that are the best part of the game.
Astrobot it my new Playstion hero though Astrobot VR is mindblowing and it's like mario on red bull & monster drink.
