CES 2009: Microsoft Xbox Kodu Demo

[Ryu0004]

Where can we get Kodu?

[Lostavar]

Heh Kodu means Home in estonia :D

[Microsoftultimatefan]

It looks like Spore/Avatar.

[ghostslayer54]

i want this game but it says i need to pay $99 FOR membership what do i have 2 do i have gold membership but i dont understand

[TheGamePain]

Where do you download this on the 360! Can someone please tell me! Is it in the game marketplace?

[MrSmitty5569]

its under community games or indie games

[15267m]

its in the xna community section

[AdventCloud333]

Awesome game. search kodu moco on google the first link is the semi-official site theres a gamertag dedicated to being a "server" for uploading and downloading games till a real way comes out. Theres also tutuorials and programing help for anyone whos new or just want to advance there way through the game. Enjoy.

[Murray1994]

Can you play online with this as in playing with other people on their maps

[deadman661]

its spore GA + colorful + gamemaker

[MowMan7]

honestly, you guys know nothing about this game. you keep saying stuff about little big planet. and you keep comparing them. they are totally different. Little big planet is like, "here is out world, go make something out of it". where as kodu is like, make everything yourself. this video is a bad example of what Kodu can do. plus the little girl makes a crap game. anyone who likes little big planet of N+ is gonna love this game. just because of the creativity. seriously people. do some research

[MowMan7]

Correction = little big planet OR N+

[shorterthanyou1]

you you kind of took that off of a video...

[josezamm]

qouted from the ign demo lol

[gopal892005]

LBP is a Level *Editor*

Kodu is a Level *Creator*

They are similar in the respect that you can manipulate the virtual world around you.

But they are very different games.

[miniwyred]

i agree lbp has a premade empty map with (alot) but limited space.

BUT kudo is a game creator because first of all it has unlimited space and you create every little thing ON the level.

*by the way hehe i was playing kudo and umm i made the robot curse at another one* lololololol (missile shot)

[eeirertomb]

rip-off of LBP? wow a little brain dead?, do you see any 2D objects or sock people?

[ownTer]

You know...GFX arent the only part that makes a good game. Go back and play Far Cry dude

[HavokSage]

lol, Far Cry had awesome graphics for its time. It was one of the first games people bought JUST for the graphics.

Bad example haha

[jeztac100]

Exactly. It's not EXACTLY like LBP, but similar, don't compare them, either, Kodu's not even out, yet. So we can talk when it's out.

[LukeTheFlook]

i hope developers continue to make games more creative where you can make your own experience

[GameGenie710]

A sad and blatant rip-off of LBP. And seriously, what's up with the girl?

[amrules22]

Why does xbox bother to make something that will be immediately compared to LBP. To be honest, does this really look fun? at all? Looks like a fucking chaw

[MyNameCouldBeRyan]

It's obviously inspired by LBP, but hardly a rip-off. Still, looks fucking boring.

[bully129]

I don't see how it's "inspired by little big planet". It reminded me of spore more than little big planet.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@MyNameCouldBeRyan It looks more like Spore in the civilization stage. But I can only tell by looks because I have no clue what they're saying.

[tecnoali]

i dont get it i didnt undrestand anything they said the sound quality sucks

[FernandoV1000]

this not a copy of lbp, this is a programming tool!!!

[jockinJshort]

dang shes hella raw at this game

[zurfer25x]

lbp is better but kodu looks neet. too bad i don't have 360

[jaybezee333]

First the "You're in the movies" (which is the eyetoy ripoff), Lips (singstar ripoff) and now their copying LBP with this crap...Microsoft you suck, get your own ideas!!!

[800lbgorillainc]

@jaybezee you are so right, Microsoft has not done anything in 10 to 15 years, vista is a Mac(Apple) ripoff, zune is a Apple, and all these clowns worship MS, so sad

[jaybezee333]

Thanks! Also I'm happy that Sony is finally taking actions from Microsoft copying their ideas by copying Microsoft's achievements with trophies. Good step by Sony.

[kzone272]

This looks sooo stupid. Wtf is the point?

[outcastorange]

Have you ever wanted to create anything in your life? Something you made to share with others? Probably not. Some people only like to shoot each other and play football in their video games...

[joshnessie]

ive always wanted to make things that i can share to my friends, thats why I have LittleBigPlanet

[outcastorange]

So how can you say this looks stupid? It's a similar concept. LittleBigPlanet looks stupid, but it's a lot of fun to create your own content and explore interactive environments.

[joshnessie]

yeah one thing that they have in common is they both look stupid to begin with but in the end kodo will end up with a 78 on metacritic while LBP sits at 95

[outcastorange]

So you're just going to fan up with the one you personally tried and not even give the other one a go? These games are different enough to be two different games and you just want to tear this one down because you feel loyal to your LBP?

[joshnessie]

i've been faning LBP up since I first saw it at the beginning of 2008, a bunch of my friends said it was going to fail but look whos laughing now, look at all the awards it has one, kodu im not so sure, i probably will never try it because i'm happy with my ps3 right now, so whenever the game releases lets see how the feedback is

[HipHopJun]

Kodu isnt even a disc game, dont compare it to LBP because thats just plain dumb. they said it themselves its a downloadable game off Xbox live arcade. its a "community game" as they like to call it. idk why people think this game is ripping off LBP when its nothing like it. Its like comparing Braid to Super Mario. this game will only cost $10-$20 bucks so there isnt much to expect.

Still, it looks like an ok game for what its worth.

[deluxedookie]

a download will always cost less

[ThatGuyWhoLikesLEGO]

I think this looks cool, one thing they need to add to make it a win is avatar customization, maybe use our XBL avatars. :P

[outcastorange]

Who says they didn't? I think that will definitely be a feature.

[deluxedookie]

looks like spacedust alley from diddy kong raceing.

[XxCLOUDO13xX]

DEAR gareblog, ur really stupid, u cannot say dis CRAP is better than LBP, but hopefully if dumb ppl like u r lucky u mite get LBP, just dont get ur hopes up 2 high, u mite suffer from a RED RING OF DEATH concussion or sumthin P.S. VIVA PS3 #1 #1 #1

[ps3rlz3]

this shit realy fucking sucks this is a piece of shit lbp rulez ps3 rulez and xbox is shit and this girl in this video is shit she probably hates this game and she has a ps3 at home

[ThatGuyWhoLikesLEGO]

You're opinion, I guess... :P

[outcastorange]

Why do you all insist that this game is exactly like LBP? There is a new style of games coming out where creative content is the focus. Have you ever heard of Spore? Or perhaps the Sims? Maybe the wii and 360 avatars is a clue.

[gareblog]

wow. Its like Little big planet but better!

Thats pretty cool, huh PS3 users.

[Marcus91Swe]

I have a ps3 an lBP and yes that game looks pretty sweet:) but I think it looks more like spore then LBP :P

[warlord90210]

NO THIS SUCKS BALLS

[outcastorange]

Why?

[SmileyReborn07]

ItZ Better than LBP if you ask me and I've played LBP so don't say I'm biased cos I'm not :p

[Spartansahan]

Ive playd it as well. though im more interestd in this though. u can create ur own game whereas in lbp u can create ur own level n play thru it.

[naszgame]

IM sorry but this is xboxs response to LBP, epic fail and stick to halo im a 260 fan boy and this fukin blows huge chunks of horse shit

[outcastorange]

Definitely a fan boy. 260? Do you even check what you type before you hit post or have you just never seen a 360?

[lxt101]

.... O.0 *cough*notaripoffofanythingels­e*cough*

[deluxedookie]

excitebike editor???????

[dtala19]

you can create games on the ps3??? if yes, what its the name???

[lxt101]

Little Big Planet is one (Puzzle/platform), there are heaps more O,0 but you'll have to find the names, I think half of the PS3 creating games are Japanese only O?0

[Hisyam1991]

Yup true, and most of it are RPG.. >_>

[AndyGoRAWR]

That horrible, it looks like they aimed for something kid-friendly but it looks way over-complicated and boring.

[thuglife26]

ummm...how bout no

[dameon166]

how about halo 3 forge

[welcometothesuck]

Looks like crap.

[Heartagramerz]

WTF is that junky stuff?

[bing1506]

LBP looks way easier to use and thus more fun... plus larger levels

[Spartansahan]

U can create ur own game with kudo. in lbp, u can create ur own level n play thru it.

[neonoc]

Hmph, having deep discussions over programming software geared towards creative development for CHILDREN... Such big men we have here (Yeah, I went there.). It was designed as a simple and easy tool for children to make their own games; virtual Play-Doh. And yes, Little Big Planet is a fair comparison, just like the undying comparison of first-person shooters to Halo 3.

Now, let's leave the little girl alone and her game CREATED from the Kodu software, it's just an example.

[neonoc]

Also, for the really tough guys out there, since you're older and more mature than this girl, show us your great game/level/whatever.

[SathingtonWaltz]

I know right, we were all 10 once!

[SathingtonWaltz]

Thank you, I don't know why people are hating on this, I personally thinks this looks like something that would be great for my little brother to get him more interested in games and stuff.

[LocustHorde]

from what i heard it also uses the xna software

[deluxedookie]

if it does thats some elite shit for a console.

[zerox505]

wow ripping off sonys little big planet, i'm not suprised.

[xJakex77]

everyone rips off everyone in the video game industry. don't act like it's the first time it's happened. It looks better then little big planet anyway

[zerox505]

no it looks like a piece of crap

[xJakex77]

ha, you know nothing about it. It's a game developing program. it has more depth then lbp. You can make fps's, racing games, adventure games, platformers, super smash bros. type games etc. You can make computer controlled characters with their own AI. Plus it's only 15$

[JFAKstudios]

Lol, another 12 year old on the interwebz trying to act cool and thinks he knows gaming.

[SathingtonWaltz]

As if you werent 12 at one time or something.

[JFAKstudios]

I never said I wasen't.

[SathingtonWaltz]

Yea you did.

[JFAKstudios]

I'm a bit confused.

[SathingtonWaltz]

You should be.

Nigger.

[JFAKstudios]

I'm white.

[SathingtonWaltz]

I know.

[JFAKstudios]

This is hardly a good use of time.

[SathingtonWaltz]

Good.

[outcastorange]

This is not a rip off of LBP! There are more creative games than just that one. Have you ever heard of Sims or Spore? Or maybe the wii avatars? Just because halo was amazing doesn't mean they shouldn't have made Cod4 or WaW!

[LiquidVidsHQ]

this is not like LBP its another concept.. LBP is 2.5D this is 3D i personally preffer LBP but i found this cool anyway.. im buying it..

[somecallmedave]

Xbox is going in a cool direction. Starting to allow kids that have creativity to create games for the arcade. Banjo kazooie kind of competes with little big planet. Both are about creating things, except in Banjo kazooie it's all of these different cars.

[BlitzKriege35]

Meh, maybe they'll make a version of this game geared toward an older audience so we can make shooter games and such.

[rbaleksandar]

There are a lot more advanced and features rich game development tools for free. Try google and you'll see.

[xJakex77]

this game's pretty much a way to create your own games and share them with the xbox live community. from what ign says, it has a lot more depth then lbp, and you can turn it into whatever kind of game you want. You can turn it into a first person shooter, a racing game, a platformer, an adventure game etc. Plus it'll probably be only 5-10$

[TheLastStand001]

id hit dat

[2Feet1Wheel]

reminds me viva pinata.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

they need to somthing to compete little big planet

[880User088]

What a Ripoff of Little big planet, What does microshit thinks they are doing ? it is even worse than shit !

[thexbox360player]

why are u watching this video ? are u so intrested in microsoft projects?

[merbiyatch]

how the hell is this anywhere close to little big planet?played the video stopped at 0:09. in other words i dont even think this is worth calling a game.

[gregorysharp]

you are commenting on something you didn't even watch?

[luizrvgo]

POS

[codeg1234]

According to the PR, this will be available on XBL Community Games in 'spring'.

So it'll either be 400 or 800 point.

If you have kids, $5 or $10 is a pretty good investment I'd say

[reesensam]

wow looks nothing like little big planet but still looks like it might have some potential...

[pedizzle77]

what game is that?

[papasmurfkof]

Yeh that looks nothing like LBP......(cough).

[JFAKstudios]

It doesn't, really. Considering it's more of a tool for children.

[littletad]

Still full of it. And get your facts right, it wasn't presented to Microsoft first. Two ex-employees from Lionhead Studios presented the idea to Phil Harrison. He himself has talked about this in interviews.

[ThatCanadianGuy420]

No littleboy.Check YOUR facts.

[littletad]

(2007). Inside Game Design. Laurence King Publishing. pp. pp 8994

Now quit trolling and once again, stop being full of it.

[ThatCanadianGuy420]

lmao wtf does that prove? Give me a link.

[morgs2020]

this is going to be crap

[paulytby]

sucks...

[GazVonhammer]

idea looks good,but I don't think my younger brothers or other family members would ever go near it.

[eelnats2000]

I spent 4:14 minutes trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

Sure its not littlebigplanet, but where is it's aesthetics? if this is it, its fugly as hell.

Where's its LURE, where's its APPEAL?

The best thing about little big planet is it's style.

Kodu seems a little too simplistic.

[AllStarDeal79]

tru dat !!!!

[alijaan16]

looks like crap

[unclvinny]

You did awesome, Sparrow. :-)

[STK0Y0]

LBP is 2D Kodu is 3D

[poolshark152006]

kudu looks like a pile of SHIT!!!! and LBP is 3D...

[littletad]

Littlebigripoff? Ah man get a life. It's not even a side scrolling platform, and your calling it a rip off?

[ryansmellsbad]

No, just no.

[waynelizzievideo]

Can't be a rip> looks like it is based on Microsoft boku research project that was in existence for ages

[TehClosetMonkey]

How the hell is it a rip off? It's nothing like LBP.

[ThatCanadianGuy420]

Wow i'm sorry.I didn't realize you guys speak idiot.Let me try and translate this..

LBP comes out.A game built on User generated content.Gets massive sucess and is now the highest rated exclusive.

Now,Microsoft comes out with this.Also built on user generated content.

They basically put together this half ass program so they can say "Hey! we have a user generated game too!" Understand?

[AllStarDeal79]

ik and it Sucks!!!! yeah i havnt played it but Look at it i don't even wanna play it !

[poolshark152006]

only thing, this is NO WHERE near as Good and cool as LBP!!!!

[littletad]

Your full of it, canadianguy. Its a visual program environment game for children. It's pretty low of you to find half ass similarities between this and LBP. Can't you just go back to N4g?

[ThatCanadianGuy420]

I'm "full of it" heh,just because you can't handle the truth doesn't mean i'm wrong.

Cry more? littleboy.

[Psyke89]

You know, this was actually anounced 1 day before LBP first announcement.

[ihamoitc2005]

Unimaginative, clunky, bad graphics. It better be free.

[ThatCanadianGuy420]

You know,Media molecule actually went to Microsoft first with the Idea of LBP.They refused.Since they didn't want to allow UGC.

That was almost two years ago.

[Psyke89]

But the ideia for LBP is designing levels. This doesn't design level, THIS MAKES GAMES! It's not comparable, only hardcore pslaves try to make a comparison. I love LBP, but this is a different game. Not better, not worse..... different!

[SmugDarkLoser]

No, they went to Nintendo first.

And MS does allow user generated content, they're home to the most games which allow this in fact. why else would forgehub exist?

Halo 3 ring a bell?

They just don't allow user mods from outside sources due to hurting the game and tampering with the system.
