It seems that a Remaster Trilogy or each individual game is coming to Steam

Something named Gorilla Engine is what all games connect together

this makes far more sense than porting over sackboy, i hope it's true

 

[Certinty]

3 was such a huge disappointment. 1 and 2 were great though.

If enough PC players give this a go and create enough good content, this could end up being really solid.

Makes you wonder how and why it took so long though.

 

[GHG]

They are listed as "dlc", maybe they are making the older games available via sackboy? Similar to what hitman did with 1 and 2 in 3.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Hopefully to ps5 too (there is hope for Puppeteer then!)

 

[Guilty_AI]

Good, but will they let users create and upload their own levels? Thats the real question.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

1 and 2 were great, they should create a sequel focusing on 2D platformers and not an all-in-one game engine like Dreams, which are unsuitable for consoles because there is no community like on PC where the likes of Garrys Mod is quite a success and has gigantic amounts of players many years after its release.

Just give us Little Big Planet 4 which goes back to its roots.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Those are some fun games. I'd buy at least one of them

 

[Hugare]

Where's the Dreams port, Sony?

Thats the one that would benefit the most

Anyway, LBP is really great. Loved all of these.

 

[wvnative]

this is beyond fake. porting these games would be an insane feat. maybe LBP3 if Sony really wanted to, but i don't see it.

it's not happening friends

 

[Holammer]

I'll buy it, even if it is stripped of online functionality. But a re-release as a trilogy with new servers on PS4, PS5 & PC would make a lot sense.
One of many PS3 era games that would look great with unlocked framerate and resolution.

 

[Ceadeus]

That's neat, if it can ever makes it revive the interest for people to create. I would be in if it's cross play.

Thinking of it, anyone know if dreams is going to work for psvr2?

 

[azertydu91]

Hopefully to ps5 too (there is hope for Puppeteer then!)

Oh man I'd buy Pupeeteer again the first second it comes out, it is criminally underrated.

 

[fart town usa]

Great news.

Now PC players across the globe will have access to some of the worst platforming gameplay on the planet.

No knock against the user created content, that stuff can be amazing.

 

[Shane89]

no console? poo

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Thats another 3 game exclusives struck down.

Interestingly, LBP and Dreams kinds of games should be the first games to port over. It's not like they are giant console franchises. And the PC community is huge into community creation games. For big PC sales and building up the PC market, LBP/Dreams should had been priorities two years ago.

14 years of total exclusivity isn't enough..

 

[BadBurger]

I'd be very interested in a remastered LittleBigPlanet 1. I have such fond memories of it. Getting to play online again with others and especially on the custom levels would rule.

 

[dickpretzel]

So this is why they let the originals' servers die. mf'ers I still had trophies to unlock.

 

[Chukhopops]

Id spend ten bucks maximum to replay LBP1, it was so-so gameplay wise but the soundtrack was amazing.



2 and 3 were crap if I remember correctly.

Really curious what kind of market research led Sony to port those games instead of other PS3 ones.

 

[Holammer]

xPaw's comment on the SteamDB pages say "This is almost certainly fake.".
Which is very possible. Usually developers obfuscate everything to throw off dataminers.

IMO 2 was the better game, as it added a few new mechanics, tightened up the controls a bit, and improved the online. The boss encounters were worse though. I just enjoyed 1 more as it was a unique new experience at the time.

3 I didn't care for. The premise, adding different characters with different abilities, sounded so amazing on paper. Unfortunately they really failed on the quality of the level designs, and it has the worst music of the three.

 

[mrmustard]

It would, but i think they are porting the games first where they think they can make the most money with and maybe Dreams didn't do to well.

 

[Solidus_T]

If they manage to do this and keep all of the player created content, it would be a dream come true. These games are wildly underrated.
I had a great time playing the first two on PS3 - I would occasionally fire them up years after until the servers went down to see that others were *still* playing these games online.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Ahhh!! I'll buy them at a low price!

 

[lh032]

It would, but i think they are porting the games first where they think they can make the most money with and maybe Dreams didn't do to well.

tbh, i dont think how dreams could make money in the first place, its too niche.

 

[Mr Branding]

Cute games, but the platforming was waaay too floaty. I’d buy the first for nostalgia’s sake at a low discount tho

 

[German Hops]

some people said the leak was fake though

 

[Bridges]

BIG if true, LBP was the whole reason I got a PS3 and I was obsessed with that game. Never played 2, and 3 was kinda eh, but I still have such a fondness for this series.

 

[mrmustard]

tbh, i dont think how dreams could make money in the first place, its too niche.

Garrys mod was super niche too and had 120 millions in revenue. But i think if Dreams comes, it will be super low on Sony's priority list.

 

[wvnative]

some people said the leak was fake though

That's because it is

 

[SiahWester]

There really aren't enough games like LBP. If it could somehow make its way to PC that would be amazing. While we're at it why not bring over Dreams?

 

[diffusionx]

If it comes to PC I find it hard to believe they won't also be ported to PS5. I don't even think the servers for LBP1-2 are up anymore.

That said, these games never played that well. Sackboy is by far the best playing game in the franchise.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Good games very important to the ps3, playing Sackboy was a big adventure one of my all time favorite soundtracks.

 

[Naked Lunch]

 

[Crayon]

I don't believe this one. Seems like it would be too complicated to bring these over. They would have to be working on a big reset and rerelease for console, too. A crossplay one. These are not so simple to just port over I would think.

 

[Neff]

Now PC players across the globe will have access to some of the worst platforming gameplay on the planet.

Holy shit this. I know these games have their fans but I'll never forget how disappointed I was by the first game. I paid £10 and I felt ripped off.

Yeah its BS. Not only technically, but look at the dev/publisher.

It's a troll submission.

 

[poodaddy]

These games are fine. Not great by any means, but they're charming and cute. I'm a fan of all games going to more platforms, so if it's true, great, if it's not, sucks but not too much of a bummer.

 

[AndrewRyan]

Making levels is the only fun for me in these games because of the floaty physics.

 

[Bojanglez]

Fantastic. Better be Steam Deck compatible.

 

[Deerock71]

Good for Sacboi.

 

[Celcius]

LBP1 was amazing and would probably sell very well on Steam. I didn't have the other 2.

 

[anthraticus]

Great news.

Never played it, but one look at that artstyle is enough to make me never want to.

 

[Kilau]

I’d love this to be true but no way Sony is doing this.

 

[Drew1440]

Didn't they shut down the servers for 1 & 2?

 

[Elysion]

I agree with others that this sounds pretty unlikely. Who would even be making this?

Sony missed their opportunity when it comes to LBP when Media Molecule made Dreams, instead of what everyone wanted them to make: a 3d LitteBigPlanet. Dreams has some incredible user-created content, but without a proper single-player campaign starring Sackboy, it lacked the charm of the LBP games. Imagine if Nintendo had made Mario Maker, but without Mario. That‘s how much of a misstep Dreams was.

 

[emmerrei]

If they're listed as DLC, maybe they're dlc of that cancelled LBP Hub, in few words a f2p little big planet that got cancelled (before lbp 3) if i don't recall bad.
A f2p LBP is the way.
