I just realized that I had completely stopped caring about Little Big Planet. When it was first shown a little over a year ago it seemed like just the thing to pull people towards the PS3, a task similar in difficulty to pulling teeth.* It was cute, little burlap sac men/ladies running around attempting to conquer physics with their box of toys. You could even make your own levels and share them with your friends.

When the game was shown it was not only playable, but it also had the world creator already done. I’m not really all that sure what the wait is for. I mean, perhaps the game was far less along than it looked at GDC ‘07, but then I have to say: Bad Sony. You blew your marketing load on interest too early in the game’s launch schedule to keep things alive. The PR is falling in on itself like a deflating balloon. When the game is finally released, who knows, the PS3 may be in the lead of the “console warz,” or something.

Sorry, I’m not trying to sound like a hardened jaded punk who’s just too cool for burlap sac men inside a physics playground. It’s just that I don’t have the same drive or desire to play the game like I use to. There’s been so much footage of gameplay shown that I kind of feel like this is a game that my friends have had for months and I just haven’t gotten around to picking it up yet. When it finally is released what difference does it make if I wait a couple weeks or months before I finally get around to it.

*Unless you also wanted a blu-ray player, in which case it’s not that hard.
