Electronic Arts has announced a competitor for LittleBigPlanet 2 this morning. Create is a “must-have video game” scheduled to arrive on PS3 (with Move compatibility), Xbox 360, Wii, PC, and Mac this holiday season. It promises “imaginative gameplay challenges” that are only assessed by the player’s creativity.
“Create uses families’ imaginations to develop new ways to play together that are both fun and challenging,” said Harvey Elliott, VP and General Manager at EA Bright Light. “We wanted to design a game where the entire family can explore, decorate, and solve challenges where no solution is wrong and the only limit is the imagination.”
Players can design environments and solve challenges to unlock rewards. “Easy-to-use” brushes and tools such as textures, props, and animated objects will “bring the scene to life”. Players will be able to share their creations online via the in-game community or EA’s Create website.
Check out the first screenshots of Create at the gallery. The first trailer can be seen through through here. (Warning: it looks a lot like LittleBigPlanet)
LittleBigRipOff is what they should call it.
