LittleBigPlanet takes multiple Best of E3 awards

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 29th 2008 at 6:15PM }

Looks like we're not the only ones that thought LittleBigPlanet was the best PS3 exclusive at E3 this year. In fact, many other outlets are proclaiming it the Game of the Show. 1UP declared Media Molecule's upcoming platformer "Game of the Show," while Resistance 2 earned "Best Shooter" and inFAMOUS earned "best trailer." "Best New Game"? MAG.

G4 gave its award for Best PS3 Game to inFAMOUS ... while it gave away top accolades to LittleBigPlanet as the best game of E3. However, Gametrailers chose to disagree with the rest of the bunch though, calling Resident Evil 5 their Best of E3.

If it wasn't apparant already, these repeated nods from critics should make one thing very clear: LBP is awesome -- we can't wait for all of you to get your hands on it too!

Hell-freakin-yeah!

Shader @ Jul 29th 2008 6:33PM

Sweet! I can't wait...

CPRxChris @ Jul 29th 2008 6:37PM

Of course Gametrailers didn't give a game what it deserved...they're Gametrailers.

Big Ed @ Jul 29th 2008 9:16PM

And yet Gametrailers has the largest concentration of Playstation fanboys I have seen in a gaming site.

Rodrigo @ Jul 29th 2008 6:46PM

cant wait 2 creat my stage in LBP full of weed :D

WTangoFoxtrot @ Jul 29th 2008 6:58PM

kudos to the developers, looking forward to trying out this game.

batmanhill6157 @ Jul 29th 2008 7:01PM

Man I really cannot wait for this game

-.- @ Jul 29th 2008 7:09PM

When does the demo for this game come out?

Nineteen88 @ Jul 30th 2008 3:11AM

In my opinion I don't think there'll be any demo before the game is released.

Ralph Jones @ Jul 29th 2008 7:11PM

RE5 is nothing but a tarted up RE4, but with next gen politically incorrect zombie action. At least LBP is bringing something new to the table.

Did they pick RE5 because it had the best trailer?

MexicanTerrorist @ Jul 29th 2008 7:36PM

They picked RE5 because they didnt want to give Best Game to a PS3 exclusive.

dead @ Jul 29th 2008 7:52PM

hehe, i agree with mexicanterrorist

Mo @ Jul 29th 2008 11:01PM

spot on my zapatista bretheren. fight the good fight!!!

Jerses @ Jul 29th 2008 7:35PM

why making awards for games that are not released yet? or for demos?... i agree with gametrailers calling RE5 best of this awards... becuase its coming for ps3 and 360... but if youre asking for ps3 games... maybe LBP deserves this demo award

dead @ Jul 29th 2008 7:53PM

why does it have to come out to both consoles to be considered the best?

Kamma @ Jul 29th 2008 10:48PM

Because GameTrailers are Xbots and couldn't bare it. :)

Popfrogs @ Jul 30th 2008 12:24AM

G4TV is owned by Microsoft, somehow. I'm literally shocked that they gave props to ANYTHING Sony exclusive. They run 10 day "OMG HALO 3 IS COMING OUT" countdowns but MGS4 is just a blip on their radar.

Then again maybe it's only 12 year old kids that still watch it.

Bubba @ Jul 29th 2008 8:35PM

Insominac Games and Blu-Ray kept the PS3's chin barely above water. And now it's time for a Killer Exclusive Game. No only will LBP appeal to hardcore gamers but I think the casual gamers will look at sack boy ( and girl ) and want to migrate to the system. Maybe Sony should have Mm make a online lobby for everyones sack people and call it..... HOME!

Marius13 @ Jul 29th 2008 9:10PM

Gametrailers is known to favour HEAVILY towards the 360. Anyone see the metal gear review? They gave the story I believe an 8.4 and gave Halo 3 a 9.5 in story....

Not trying to be a fanboy, but come on. FPS arent really known for good stories. But there are ALWAYS exceptions (bioshock)

Eggy @ Jul 30th 2008 8:27AM

Halo 3 is overrated everywhere, the reviewers know it, the fans know it.

Ysleiro @ Jul 30th 2008 12:20PM

Whomever says Halo 3 is overrated has not played it or just doesn't like FPS.

Halo 3 is one of the best FPS on the market at the moment. COD might have sold a gazillion copies but Halo is the most consistent FPS game there is. Period.

I'm not even going to step into physics engine and features. Lets just say it blows the competition out the water. It's not that its better than all FPS, it's the combination of features.

Jack Tretton @ Jul 29th 2008 9:28PM

Aside from its appearance during Sony's press conference in the guise of a PowerPoint presentation, was the game showcased at all at E3?

ACEDOH @ Jul 29th 2008 9:39PM

Yes this game was showcased quite a bit. SONY knows how important this game is for them. It probably is their biggest game this year. I know hardcore gamers may not believe that but it's these type of games that broaden the consumer base and make the PS3 much more popular.

Neo Senku @ Jul 29th 2008 10:33PM

Its well deserved

RegimeNoir @ Jul 30th 2008 12:05AM

How again are people saying the Xbox had the better E3 showing???

Catdogburger @ Jul 30th 2008 1:00AM

Final Fantasy 13 is going to the 360... that's how.

Oh wait... were getting it too.

good question!

dead @ Jul 30th 2008 1:16AM

that is actually a really good point catdogburger. i never saw it in that light before. i was ready to accept that the 360 had a better e3 cuz of that, but then the ps3 is getting it too. if sony had the better e3 than 360, then the news of ff13 not being exclusive just made their e3 not as good, but doesnt bring them under the 360 (just my opinion if ppl consider sony having a good e3)

Arnon @ Jul 30th 2008 4:39AM

They both did just fine.. I believe that Microsoft shocked the audience more, though.

Ysleiro @ Jul 30th 2008 12:31PM

Not trying to dis PS3 or 360 here but these are the facts and problems.

MS likes to talk about features/games that are coming online within a year.

Sony likes to talk about features/games that may come out between now and a year from now.

This creates a problem for Sony. Because a lot of their content is so far off people just can't be expected to get excited over all their stuff.

Take God of War: I know it's a good IP but there are many that don't know this. So showing a very short CG movie is most definitively not going to get the crowd hyped. Not because the game sucks but because there isn't really anything there.

Take MAG for example this is the reaction I had: "yeah yeah.. thats a good concept, online, a gazillion players..., the game doesn't even have a name yet? can we see gameplay footage? release date?"... And thats the game Sony wanted us to be pumped about, they capped off their keynote with that.

My friend thinks Sony had a better keynote and I disagreed because MS delivered surprises that made the crowd go "oooohhh" even if one of those few surprises was already on the competing system.

Although I wonder how big of a surprise you would get if Cliff came on stage during Sony's keynote and announced GoW2 on PS3 this Novemver. See what I mean?

bvhj @ Jul 30th 2008 7:39AM

LBP deserves every bit of praise it gets.

ozzy @ Jul 30th 2008 12:26PM

little big world ..ages 5-8 are we really getting excited over this??.

johnnyknockuup @ Jul 30th 2008 12:05PM

Just because it doesnt have guns and violence and sex doesnt mean its just for kids. Its one of those games like mario that will appeal to men, women and kids. I dont think young kids will be able to do as much with it with level creating so there is good reason to look forward to this game. It looks amazing and is original.

Reymo @ Jul 30th 2008 10:38AM

Microsoft can shock all the crowd all they want. SONY will just start overtaking them with great titles.

Ysleiro @ Jul 30th 2008 12:35PM

I'm kinda confused.

Kotaku put out the same report. They put out the nominees for each award.

Joystiq and PS3fanboy put out results.

But from what I understand the results aren't out yet.

There are a total of 36 media outlets that have to put out their results for the awards to be handed out. As of right now I can only find 2 at the source of this article.
