Hi friend :]

[@darinhill-v2q]

this type of comment works to well

[@lexrun2572]

i just got it in my recommended so you’re right

[@Dopamiin3]

I reminisce on the series almost everyday. If I could ever have a game series come back it’d be LBP. That game is magical even after a decade

[@NealBones]

Little Big Planet is phenomenal. My dad is the one who got me into gaming, and this one was one of the last games we actually got to play together before he quit playing them. Super fun and fond memories. Thank you for covering because it deserves all the love

[@themightybagle99]

Watching this video after the servers for LBP3 got shut down makes this even sadder. Hope LBP comes back, those 10 Million levels cant be left to rot.

[@RalseiAnagram]

The Servers for the 10 million levels are still up. LBP 4 May Happen.

[@Jasonthesackboy]

@@RalseiAnagram I hope So

[@blockoboi5941]

Thankfully, someone archived almost all levels from lbp 1 to lbp 3

[@OddFellowYT]

[@themightybagle99]

​​@@blockoboi5941 Yeah that's good but I have no means to mod my PS3 cause I don't know what the hell I'm doing, I want it officially.

[@soundwaveravagesuperior]

I ain’t gonna lie. When I listen to the theme songs of the different world of lbp1 and 2 I cry a little. This game was my childhood.

[@coslmaoo]

We all do. This series was legendary

[@ECGCblu]

Incredibly inspiring video, loved this so much!! You captured what made these games special so perfectly

[@JustForGaming_Alt-kf8lz]

I'd like to let people watching know that union isn't the only community server available. Refresh and infinite are both going strong and are just as playable. The culture on each server is different enough that they're all worth checking out. Great video btw. I love watching ppl's lbp retrospectives

[@Mayorski]

Really wanted to deep dive into the different communities it I was concours of the run time and wanted a more opinionated video than a deep dive

[@Potatoboii2]

Obligatory: "I hate LBP Infinite, grr grr grr" But, if you're willing to buy a second copy of the game to patch with Refresh, I'd definitely recommend giving it a go, since it *is* more technically advanced than lighthouse, the biggest problem is that there aren't as many people playing on either of those servers. Also, lighthouse 2 is in development at the minute, which'll basically make the code more accessible and open-source, which should hopefully allow for those servers to catch up and improve upon everything else.

[@xMicky98]

As someone who was very awkward and had a lot of social anxieties all throughout school, even during early primary school years, I ended up making a fantastic group of friends in LBP2, they got me more then my real friends did, and I remember rushing home from school just to get online and goof around with them. I even happened to meet my partner through LBP2, who I've been going strong with for almost 10 years now, it took roughly a year for us to meet up in person (Lived far away, we were teens and didn't have jobs/ money to visit each other), and now we share a flat together! LBP gave me so much joy and so many memories during my childhood and early teen years, such a shame it all ended up going down hill, I remember giving LBP3 a try, and I found the online play really disappointing :( Experiencing the game with other people was a big part of the fun for me, but it could never find me a lobby to join, or on the off chance that it did find another player, it would have awful connection and eventually drop out anyway.

[@Sackm4n]

Yet another reason why no game will give the same feeling as the lbp series

[@xMicky98]

@Sackm4n Right, I feel sad for all of the next generations who will miss out on that game. Kids play roblox now, but that's nothing in compared to lbp

[@blackwhite47]

I didn't know I wanted to hear this today, ty random Irish man.

[@EtherealWall]

LBP was my life as a kid and I almost cried when I found out the servers were being shutdown it truly was the most fun and creative game I've played and I'm glad to see others feel the same about it.

[@Fexil_thebigcheese]

I fricking love little big planet! sadly I was super young when the severs closed so I only really got to experience the story mode, yet still it is one of my fav games I am sad I missed so much creativity

[@Dailyfiver]

When the picture was taken of everyone on the skateboard I actually started to cry. In that moment not only was it a huge victory, and a fantastic story in the creation of this beautiful game, but it solidified Media Molecule's place in being able to follow through with their creative vision. I think when we see that photo be taken, we can easily picture ourselves and our LBP friends in that moment, and that's what really made this game special. We were all truly a PART of the game and community.

[@dyingknightbynight]

I was 10 years old when I told my older brother that I can see myself playing this game forever, but he laughed and said "you'll grow out of it and move on." Now I'm 23 and I still love this game so much. Not only did I create the best memories in LBP, but it also helped me through the worst times of my life. Moreover, if it weren't for LBP 2 I would have never met my favourite person and best friend who is still with me to this day.

[@theultimatedriver3858]

As soon as I heard the Introduction theme in LittleBigPlanet 1 again last week with my friend, I had tears in my eyes remembering the great times playing all of the levels online at my old house, and making memories with my friends at school too. I miss this series and I hope a 4th game that’s properly made on release comes out on PS4 and PS5 someday soon. Thanks for the great video, made me cry at the end smiling too.

[@KarmaInChains]

Really great video, got a little teary eyed during the panel demo section. With the servers shutting down its been really sad knowing that future generations might not be able to experience the magic that was this game and its community.

[@HownBrash]

[@Monolithian138]

this is genuinely AAA documentary quality. whens the netflix release coming out?

[@DoggyG]

I miss my favorite game, all the nights I used spend playing this game. Now I am graduated and have a job that takes most of my free time. Little big planet was a master piece. still haven't played a game that can even be on the same plane as it. Video put a tear in my eye.

[@Papa_Flick240]

I plan on buying a ps3 just so i can re-live the hypest moments of video game history from my childhood so you can bet your ass that I'm going back to craft world

[@garlicsaucy]

although my family wouldn't let me play online (and i had no idea that you could), littlebigplanet is still a staple of my childhood. me and my siblings would play together for hours either going through the main levels, doing random crap in creative mode, or throwing our controllers across the room (the wheel still sucks). sad that i didn't get to experience it's full potential, but glad i was able to experience it in the first place

[@Sackm4n]

Playing online was so chaotic ppl would join, slap you and you end up being friends

[@crazed.sewer_rat]

this video brought back so many memories of lbp, i've played 2 and 3 since i was about 4, and i beat both of them from start to finish, best games i've ever played

[@michaeloladimeji6571]

Stood up and starting editing🙏🏾🙏🏾thanks Mayorski.

[@TheGuysYoutubeTV]

My word man, what a video. You made a 27 year old man cry at the end hearing Stephen fry and sleepyhead playing with the intro shown. That game series was my literal childhood and teen years. From 10 years old up to 18 years old. I lived for this. School, 6th form, relationships. Yet it was always there. I remember publishing a lot of levels that got 100K plus plays, I knew a lot of big creators, even ones that ruined the game. LBP was incredible. Now my 4 year old son loves Sackboys Adventure and watching me play LBP3. I just need to get a PS3, download the patch from the Union, and relive them memories as he makes his own. Thank you.

[@justarandomname4337]

Bro the sleepyhead song at the end just brought back so many memories it makes me want to cry so much and also so happy.

Wtf this video is so underrated by the algorithm, this is incredible and deserves 100s of thousands more views!!

[@reyeszenpai7265]

seeing the history of this game just has me tearing up man this game was my whole childhood and how special it was just makes it sadder cause kids these days wont ever get to play something like this like roblox is cool but it aint LBP the sackboy charm and platforming is just magical its much more real in its magic

[@MooninitesErr]

To be honest, after playing AstroBot, funnily enough i can see all the inspiration LBP had on that game, from the death animations being similar, amazing sound track, level endings and more. I can see AstroBot 3 taking the place of lbp in a mario maker style game

[@georgiaap]

I played LBP with my dad growing up, I was 4 when it was released!! Still one of my favourite games ever made, sometimes I'll just watch playthroughs on youtube if i need a bit of comfort!! This is such an interesting breakdown of the creation of the game, I learned so much!!

[@07deterin52]

LBP has been one of those things that's lingered in the back of my mind that I've remembered but haven't really had the chance to really feel nostalgic about due to irl responsibilities and whatnot if that makes sense. This video really helped take me back when to when I was still in elementary and my dad got LBP1 for my siblings and I to play, then every game that followed. Thanks a lot for this video

[@welcometoweird5219]

Wow, I think this video and your perspective is something every creator right now should share. You can feel numbers and algorithms controlling the space more than ever; it’s more than wonderful to see you indulge in your passions, and make commentary on the state of KZbin and creator spaces in general. Topical and nostalgic, easily the best video I’ve seen in a while! Absolutely got a like and subscribe from me, looking forward to seeing more!

[@judgerstamper]

broke down crying watching this, genuinely phonomenal. i also grew up with lbp it really just impacted me SO hard. but thank you. seriously i loved it :)

I absolutely love the little big plant games me and my sister would play online with our cousins who lived in California when we were younger

[@Ishaan66SH]

Yeah this video went so hard

[@Mkhwlani]

This is by far the best documentary about LBP... It outlines everything from the very beginning (to the sad killing of the franchise) with love! This coming from a life-long fan of the franchise that has been a big part of my childhood that I, too have extremely fond memories of.

[@VV-ho8dg]

Funny thing, I actually missed the whole multiplayer aspect of the series and just played them in singleplayer. Love the games none the less

[@Sackm4n]

Multiplayer was so chaotic I remember this one guy joined me then slapped me off the map we ended up becoming friends

[@SEGACD32XMODEL1]

Nostalgic music also??? What a video man. Sonic Mega Collection Plus: History

[@PiledeTrash]

I actually cried watching this keep it up and thank you

[@computerpwn]

this series of games was so far ahead of its time not in regards to the gameplay loop but also its monetization, its so ironic to see games like fortnite, roblox pushing all these user generated content tools while still turning a massive profit with cosmetics and microtransactions, so hugely similar to little big planet (especially the first two}

[@hwanniggles187]

Roblox was always like that. Its just huge compared to back then

i feel your passion man

[@inskilled2950]

17:35 Where do I remember that melody? I recognize that, what is that song? Edit: figured it out, it’s Reunited from Undertale.

[@AwesomeYena]

The segment about online play reminded me of the different between LBP1 & LBP3 online. The people on LBP1 were friendlier and always allowed me to join, one even waved at me when I spawned in. When I tried to play LBP3 online, hardly anyone accepted me, if the game wasn't breaking because the online mode was a buggy mess, everyone was rejecting me.

[@Xakk007]

This is the most amazing video I have ever seen and this is the first time I’m actually commenting on a vid and love it so much in years thank you.

[@yaimamess1111]

I am 53 today and was an adult when I played these games. It is still the best game I have ever had the joy of playing. Media molecule is the best. Great memories and thanks for the video😊

[@StoneDPebbIe]

I never got the joy of playing LBP with friends online or local growing up as I had no internet but I'll be damned if that stopped me from making whole movies and levels to show off to my parents and play through myself, this game was my childhood and was a huge outlet for me. I'll never forget what LBP did for my creativity. I'm hoping LBP4 will be real one day and I'll be able to experience all the things I couldn't when I was younger.

[@Aviddyliedplus]

[@ojeinoway6968]

Amazing video man, loved LBP1 and 2 to death and I'll never forget the memories I made with them, you got urself a sub

[@HoffScoff]

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said “it’s the perfect game for kids who maybe only got one game a year” this game had so much creativity in it. Lbp 1 one amazing and had a certain feel to it that the other games didn’t but the second one was beautiful. From first person shooter games to mincraft levels that actually was all cubes to levels that instead of playing horizontally they were vertically playable with a sackbot and a camera angle that would change it into this open world game with more that 3 layers this game was a masterpiece I will stand by that until I die the creativity in it I think made for such a good game letting the community focus on building levels was the best option imo not that the story levels were bad they weren’t at all but I think allowing the community to put THEIR time and effort into levels took a lot of weight off of the creators cause they spend all their time actually making a playable game and maybe they didn’t have the energy to go above and beyond like some people in the community they did go above and beyond don’t get me wrong but I just mean letting the community take over and be able to go 110% I think really took the game to a whole new level this game was and still is the best game ever created in the new age of video games being able to experience and express how you feel in this platformer was amazing. I’ve just beat the psp version again. I’ve been playing lbp2 and once I beat that I’m going straight to ps4 and playing the 3rd one I’ve since switched to an Xbox series x for the game pass but if the off chance a new lbp comes out (not a sackboy game) I will go get a PlayStation. I am currently thinking of buying a vita just for that lbp2 experience on the go since psp is more lbp tech it’s still a great game but man do I miss playing online it isn’t the same without the community it’s not a bad game it just feels like a huge chunk of it has been removed and it hurts the child in me I want to apologize to anyone who took the time to read this I just will forever miss sackboy I just got out of surgery on my hand and what I can tell u is when this puppy is not hurting or numb anymore I’m getting back on the grind rest in piece to the best and biggest part of my childhood I won’t ever forget about this game anyways I’m done Actually edit: I want to say I’ve truly been in love before I’ve felt what it’s like to have someone who you love and trust and also want to be with for the rest of your life and I also know what it feels like to have them walk away or it not work out and I’m not saying this to be corny ( I realize how corny it sounds after typing out lol) but my point is seeing that message that lbp will be shutting down forever on October 31 2024 hurt me more than that did I mean it ripped my heart out the first time I seen it. The servers had been dying but seeing them announce they were pulling the plug ruined me lbp3 is 10 years old and man all I can say is time is flying by im 21 and never expected things to move like this life is so crazy thank you to everyone who played lbp and was apart of the community who knows maybe me and you had played a level or fucked around on the moon before maybe I stole one of your guys emo outfits you were trying to gatekeep lol anyways I just keep thinking of stuff to say about this game probably because a big part of me doesn’t want to let go but anyways now I’m done sorry to be corny but you know what idc this game was everything to me so thank you to everyone who played this along side me thank you This was an amazing video, I’ve been going back and watching these types of videos to reminisce on what they have stolen from us and this video was awesome from the community levels you’d shown to the points you talked about this video was really thought out and put together super nicely, from the soundtrack to just everything thank u bro this made me tear up😂

[@LYME-Y2K]

Your a legend for this video! 💯 I love intro it was so heartwarming and nostalgic.

[@bbycherub2420]

Amazing video, this game was literally my childhood ❤

[@BurroDevelops]

I started with LBP 2 and I didn't want to, but I have to comment here. This game helped me through my childhood depression. It gave me inspiration to at least... try. And I became a dev myself because of it. It taught me how to study to create better levels, giving me inspiration. Knowing NOW that LBP ended makes me sad, but it also reminds me how good things always ends and everything in life has a cycle, being it long or short, and it will stay in our minds forever. If we find another fellow LBP player, you better know that you're gonna spend time talking about the game, reminiscing how LPB 2 changed our lives forever... (Who here remembers Osvaldo Sniper in their childhood? A famous level creator that created levels such Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed and others? Aww man he was a fan favorite, including mine. I remember once I got inside his world when he was building and asking him how to create a level, he never answered me, but he was probably busy haha... dammn man, if LBP comes back to life I'll be definitely be making my first levels)

Fun fact: there were other sandbox games before LittleBIGPlanet, like Roblox before LBP was even a thing and Minecraft before LBP 2. (Roblox existed all the way back in 1989 believe it or not and was called Knowledge Revolution!)

[@Mayorski]

Just looked it up there and wow yeah they were working on the basis of Roblox was built on since 1989! To call it Roblox tho is a stretch ,it didn’t start looking remotely like it until around 2005. But yeah that’s a cool fact,I thought only Gmod preceded LBP

[@watrabi]

I dug my ps3 from it's grave just to play beacon, the wonderful developers there deserved any and everything even as a little kid, lbp was amazing for me, I was hooked. I played it for hours on end and was glad when blew up in terms of popularity. I've forgotten about it, I'm sure some people have but if we spread awareness, it might just come back.
