Sackboy: A Big Adventure - Sumo Introduces Sackboy | PS5.

Rated E for Everyone. Hi, my name is Ned Waterhouse, and I'm the  Design director on sackboy: A Big Adventure. I'm really excited to have this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about Sackboy's return to PlayStation. Sackboy shot to fame as the lead character in  the hugely successful LittleBigPlanet series.

LittleBigPlanet set a new standard in creative gaming with its play create and share ethos. with Sackboy: A Big Adventure we have focused solely on play. And this focus has given us a chance to create a game that's built from the ground up to be an amazing 3d platformer.

To do this we started with Sackboy himself, redesigning his character controls from scratch. We knew that to create a great platform game we  needed a character that was incredibly responsive, so we said from day one this game  has to run at 60 frames per second.

As well as being incredibly responsive, we wanted a set of controls that gave you loads of options so that you could choose how you played  the game and define your own style of play. So we expanded Sackboy's moveset  with tons of new skills and abilities.

Now, to create an awesome platformer you don't  just need a great set of character controls. you also need a compelling world to explore. The Playstation 5 has meant that we've  been able to push the visuals of Craftworld   further than ever before to create  a stunning, handcrafted adventure.

Now, this is a big game with loads of variety where no two levels are the same. Every single stage is stuffed with fresh challenges to overcome, bodies to battle, new power-ups to master, and secrets to discover. There's just so much to see and do in  this game, and we think you're going to love it.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure isn't just a 3d platform, it's also a co-op platformer and you can play through the whole game with your friends either at home or online. We've also designed a set of specific co-op levels where you and your mates will have to work together if you want to succeed.

We've given Sackboy a bunch of new multiplayer moves so that you can both help... and hinder your friends. We're so excited about this new direction for Sackboy. As you can imagine, building an all-new game around such an iconic PlayStation character comes with a weight of responsibility.
