PDC 08: Microsoft shows Boku

[FernandoV1000]

so... what happened with this, anyone knows?

[whatevers31]

ripoff of lbp and minecraft

[FernandoV1000]

@whatevers31 listen you fanboy, minecraft was released in 2009 and this is from 2008 so technically minecraft in that case would be a ripoff of this, thing that it's not. because this is very different from the friggin minecraft and lbp if you haven't see the comments, there are many difference between this and lbp.. principally because this is a tool not a game itself like lbp so think and research a bit before talking

[AphoticSoliloquy]

This isn't actually a game... This is just a tool for designing... Just so you knowww.

[7footballfanatic7]

Gay

LBP FTW!!!

[urbans0ulja]

wow....that's garbage.

[mckad720]

i fucking hate fanboys

[xXXseacowxXxomg]

your mom was all over my sack

[zaine626]

Just not the same without an iconic character cute as Sackboy....

[Armageddon1212]

The visual coding will be great for people who aren't programmers, or more visual oriented people. It will be fun to make small games for friends/family and just mess around and change the rules of your game world.

Now called "Kudo", the graphics have improved a bit looking at the article in the June Issue of Xbox magazine

[Lexxclark]

I much preferred this game when it was called LittleBig Planet and it was on the PS3.

[killcows897]

Uh, in boku you make games, in LBP you make maps for a game.

But this whole visual coding thing is very bad, That is so far from how real coding works.

[FernandoV1000]

this not a friggin copy of lpb, little big planet is a game who has the capabilities of customize the whole scenary and that stuff, boku is a programming tool for the xbox 360...

!!!! A PROGRAMING TOOL NOT A GAME¡¡¡¡¡¡ say this is a copy of little big planet is like say resistance 2 is a copy of viva piñata.

[wilmerbz]

That is right.... many people don't now what are they talking about... it's not a game, as you said, it´s a !!!! A PROGRAMING TOOL, similar to Popfly :P

[FernandoV1000]

lol finnaly someone understand me,,,

[alexstewartmovies]

this will never be little big planet Microsoft just have to take it! I want LBP but ps3 to expensive ):

[Hisyam1991]

OMG! I've just noticed someting..

This game is LEGO!!

it's a freakin LEGO!!

Well, it looks pretty bad,

just hope it turn out better when it came out..

[Hisyam1991]

Boku? i tot it was KODU?

[theflonert]

looks like shit

[mrceja]

loock like a crap

[netatak]

Microsoft da işin BOKU ' nu çıkardı.

[JokinJoe]

You really can't compare this to LBP. They are completely different things. LBP is a game where you can create levels in, and this is a tool to create a game. Different concepts. Personally though, I like LBP only because it has charm and sackboy is cute. :D This DOES look amazing though, and I might buy an Xbox just for this. Man, I love creating games its more fun than playing games!

[abilitos]

genial xD se espera.

[blackdevil4589]

this looks cooooooool :D :D

[flowershavesacs]

what is this song?

i wants

[anon1mo21]

No..........

[sakuradark84]

wait a minute that is bad crap imitation of LBP , jajja come on microsoft be original! , stop trying to be sony jajajaj , LITTLE BIG PLANET KICK ASS , and this shit BOKU jajaj seriously guys u gonna buy boku? jajaj

[KST0190]

You can create Levels in LBP

in this game you can create your complete own game

[ExgamerLegends]

u can create games in lbp. heck u can create darn near everything in lbp.

[ryanpetrucci]

can you create 3d 3rd person games on LBP? i thought LBP was strictly side-scrolling only...and there you said you can create everything on LBP...

[ExgamerLegends]

Oh wow. i guess ya got me there -_-. but actually you can move side to side in lbp lol. and the point i was trying to make is that u can make games in lbp. stop getting all defensive.

[ryanpetrucci]

Lol :) Relax dude...LBP was fun and cute game...and who doesn't love that hehe...

"Peace"

[DefconO1]

I have two levels in LBP that are 3rd person shooters. Im also working on a rpg style third person.

[Some0ne112]

This has nothing to do with LBP, and was announced first, so It's not a ''bad crap imitation of LBP''.

Jajaja?

[sakuradark84]

jajaj u know they modificate some things for make something same to LBP? jajaj

[ExgamerLegends]

lol what the heck are you trying to say? I can't understand your english. Modificate isn't a word.

And whoever gave me thumbs down on that other comment is lame. I was just telling the truth lol. This one game was created in lbp that not even the developers knew how he did it. freaking amazing.

[stevenO5]

oh cmon, this game looks sh*t and this is nothing like LBP.

[RibcageSE]

Nice with a game creator!

[SardaukarPrime]

Microsoft announced today that it will turn Xbox 360 players into creators with the release of their new game, Kodu. Launching on the Xbox LIVE Community Games Channel, Kodus easy to use game creation techniques will make building personal playgrounds simple for anyone, with the help of an Xbox 360 controller.

^^ Sounds like it's free (or at least cheap).

[ExgamerLegends]

only prob is you cant share created content on live which kills the motivation to even create a game.

[TombaFanatic]

Halo 3...

[ExgamerLegends]

o.O.... hmm...I see your point but thats still no better. The only way you can share forged levels is if you're actually playing on it with other people. Unless I'm missing something :)

[TombaFanatic]

Something's better than nothing, also there is another way you can download maps in Halo 3 without playing with the person, but if you're like me and for some reason can't link your account to Bungie, it doesn't work.

[ExgamerLegends]

Really? Hmm that's cool. I had no idea you could do that.

[SmugDarkLoser]

uhh... have we heard of a little game called Halo 3?

[ExgamerLegends]

No...but i've heard of a big game called halo 3. Read my previous comments buddy.

[takeyocookies]

you ppl are morons........this isnt a game, it is a game creator.................lbp has nothing on this..in lbp you can create levels......in this you CREATE GAMES

[WOWalldayguy]

uhh, how are you so sure works better than LBP?

[joseinasio]

M$, stop copying ideas. Create something for yourself yet!!!!.

LBP is awesome

[davidkolo]

epic fail lols what a retarded game, its like gmod but gay, or lbp without the awesomeness, ill wait for the reviews but if this gets anything higher then a 3 ill be suprized, massive fail on originality btw

[elmalhermano]

looks promising enough

[caveobot]

it looks like a stupid xna thing im really not interested and i hate the art style

[SardaukarPrime]

This is NOTHING like LBP. Piss off,fanboys.

[Liquidemblem]

It doesn't have to be. This lets you make your own games not like LBP oh make a level fantastic :0

[Drew120392]

lol is this a joke i own both 360 and ps3 i have to say 360 is getting kiled

[CheezyWEAPON]

Woah.. Is this using voxels? It's nice that it's truely 3D (as supposed to LBP's 2D and a half gameplay), but Boku looks very unpolished and generic. It's just too early to tell. At the very least it needs 'a catch' or mascot to reel us in. Like.. I dunno.. Chibi Master Cheif? Rare-ware stickers? Something licensed.

[Alphabetting]

Doesn't really have the charm of lbp does it :S

Bit of a dispointment

[FernandoV1000]

is not a game, actually is a programming tool.

[XxXRangerXxX]

you cant compare because lbp is a 3d side scroller this is a tool

and if you campare your a tool

screw fanboys!~

i haev ps3 & wii and i respect 360

[FernandoV1000]

WTF stop posting shit comments on this video ps3 fanboys, this is not a rip off of lbp.

[classicthrasher]

lontano anni luca da lbp:(

[111DanDaMaN111]

I just got off the phone to Sony, they want their game back Microsoft!!!

[FernandoV1000]

all of you are wrong, BOKU is not a rip off of little big planet since Boku is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone. The programming environment runs on the Xbox 360, allowing scobatore design iteration using only a game controller for input, that is completely different than little big planet since lbp offers the ability to create and modify a lot of things but is not an programming tool.

[qwertyqwertybob]

I absolutely swear to you all, I'm not a fanboy. I have a PS3 and a 360 upstairs.

But I think this looks a lot better than LBP. Okay - I've said my bit. Now flame on.

[Simacir]

how can anyone say it looks better just by watching that?

[FernandoV1000]

I'm not saying that it is better, the only thing I say is that it is completely different than little big planet because it is a programming tool

[archis77]

copying LBP pathetic

[Overlord360]

thats like saying LBP copied Gmod, its just stupid and wrong

[Veinslayer554]

queer game if they tried to compete lbp with this lbp wins by a mill....

[fanboyismsucks]

thats so gay

[natzo89]

Lego is going to sue them.

[Simalacrum]

yet again Microsoft shows off its infinite ability for bad rip offs!

[opsis1]

LMFAO!

[BobbyDuwitz]

This game just doesn't look like it has character. It looks like a blurry lego version of Spore. I can't put my finger on it, but it just doesn't look good.

[1sh0tdgl]

I smell fail.

[Apollox9900]

Quit smelling yourself?

[mrwonderr]

MS really can't come up with their own shit.

This is a blatant stab at LBP. Their avatars are shameless Mii ripoffs. Their "New Xbox Experience" looks like the bastard child of the XMB, Apple's Front Row, and Cover Flow. Their "Newton" controller.... just wow. Let's not delve back into MS's Pre-Xbox days, shall we not?

Somehow, I knew this was coming.

[robowurmz]

You do know that his was first demo'd in March 6th, 2008, right? And LBP was demo'd in March 7th, 2008.

So, uh, they both originated at the same time.

However, the Xbox Avatar thing is inexcusable. They even LOOK like Miis!

[lk4t3smoke]

actually, lbp was demoed in the gdc 2007 which was like at march 6 or 7 2007. boku was first demoed 20 days later march 27, 2007.

[robowurmz]

Sorry, mistyped. I meant to say 2007. So you're right. But they're still pretty much the same time.

[TheDrizzle659]

You just made that up. Boku was demoed a day before LBP was on March 6th.

[Xjkjk3264X]

Yeah a little too similar to Little Big Planet.

Little big planet>Boku.

[lk4t3smoke]

it's funny how microsoft's marketing works. there's always a response to something like nintendo's miis they put out the avatar system. lbp's released and now they show us this? wtf microsoft!

btw, if this was released before LBP then i will also say that LBP was a rip-off of this boku thing.

[daviduk200]

Looks awful, but onw bit gave me an idea, how awsome, would it be to fully customise levels for an FPS,

the only way i can see success in this is if, they let you create your levels and use them in many many ways, i.e if the keep it to platforming only this would be awfull, but if you could make a level, then use it as an FPs, or a puzzle game, or a platformer, or a racing game, or a random, game you made up, it could be interesting,

[rosskwilliams]

Microsoft once again try and copy Sony.

This has no LittleBigPlanet charm.

Microsoft=Fail

[howesy]

I wouldnt waste bandwidth illegally downloading this shit... let alone buying it.

[ismael92spain]

menudos copiones son >:( de todas maneras esto no superara a little big planet ni de coña!

[matthewdoucette]

if you knew how hard it is to make a game... this is incredible. i want to know how they do it and how it works...

[JReg1981]

FAIL :D

[jonVaillant]

This is a special version of XNA game studio that anyone can use without having to know a programming language. THIS IS NOT A LBP COPY!

[lk4t3smoke]

wtf is this?? is this a joke? sackboy looks even better than this game lol..

[LiquidVidsHQ]

Boku? hahahhaha stupidiest name ever Boku means MEN in japanese

[diieradiiodiie]

Boku means predicting or divining. Silly fucking noob.

[LiquidVidsHQ]

give a fuck.. this game is for NDS?

[TheDrizzle659]

Boku is the project name, the real name has yet to be announced.

[soma03678]

lol the name of the character of tis game is stickboy XDD microsoft have sooo manny difficulties to invent thigns XDDD after they stoled nintendo's mii, they try to stole lbp. microsoft=shit amen

[Orangesoda19]

Your views are shit.

Good day, sir.

[soma03678]

you arguments are shit. in fact you just don't have anny. oh no, let me gess.......gears of war? XDD lol

[Orangesoda19]

Man, just because you're a Wii or PS3 fan-boy doesn't give you the right to rape microsoft up the ass.

In my opinion, as long as good features and games are on the fucking console, its a good console. Who gives a shit if MS's avatars are nearly the same as MII's. Who cares if Boku has a design/sharing feature like Little Big Planets :/ Seriously, man.

And yes, I do like Gears of war. I like fable 2, Fallout 3. But, I also like Little big planet, Metal Gear solid 4, Mario, Zelda... etc etc.

[soma03678]

and you still can't see that microshit is only doing plagia, seriously you can see it from the moon

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

Gah-stly. Microsoft trying to give me a visual blowjob again? Well this time I didn't come, even when helping myself out.

[j5tar89]

Those crappy levels shown in the vid are made by developers?? Imagine how shitty it will look when actual players try to create their own stuff.

[Freezola75]

ha ha delete my comment huh lol this game... wait not a game but what is it again? ok the truth is M$ had their chance to have LBP. They turned them down and yall just disgruntled... i understand because i wouldn't really be interested in "interacting" with a Boku either. I also agree with doode who said it looks like something for the N64 LOL! Straight giving you seizures! Good luck making UGC for that!

[xisumavoid]

i like that it can be more than a platformer but it is just a LBP clone

[TheDrizzle659]

This is a game programmer tool. In lbp you don't program different games, you only spawn objects the developer gives you, kinda like forge in halo. I don't see any similarties between this and lbp. Thats like saying farcry copied lbp. You guys are retarded.

[TilaTequila73]

so because its a level editor and game creator, its obviously lbp. mkay...

[Xenoris]

Seems like someone watches LBP videos with their arse and not their eyes.

[Birdboy07]

Seems like Microsoft is trying to jump on the LBP badnwagon with.....N64 graphics

[TheDrizzle659]

It doesn't come out till 09, they have a year to improve the graphics. Settle down fanboy.

[Birdboy07]

So, Im a fanboy cuz I dont automatically fall in love with anything with Microsoft written on it? Did I say it wasnt fun? NO. I just said it had fairly bad graphics for this gen. Look at COD4, Look at Resistance 2, look at Gears of War 2, they're next gen graphics! LittleBigPlanet knew this and made next gen graphics. This game is really weak in that department. It still may be fun but seriously, those graphics need a major upgrade.

[Orangesoda19]

Graphics don't really mean jack.

I personally think the graphics, look great.

[TheDrizzle659]

Its not even a game. Its a game programmer tool. You make your own games with it. Plus look at wii, it has N64 graphics and its beats 360s and ps3s sales combined. I don't think graphics even matter anymore.

[LiquidVidsHQ]

LOL soo lets go play atari 2600!!!!

[TheDrizzle659]

No thanks, too busy blowing heads off in fallout.

[LiquidVidsHQ]

i dont care i dont play shitty games like u..

[Birdboy07]

Wii has the rough equivalent of the original Xbox. And besides, people buying the wii know that going into it. This is a 360/PC game. People expect better graphics from this. Plus even if this is a programmer tool, it will have levels built into it. Heck, even those old RPG Maker "games" had example games made with the tools. So by all means this will still be seen as a game. Regardless of what the devs originally planned for it.

[TheDrizzle659]

It doesn't come out until 2009, graphics can improve by then. Once again, its not a game, it a game programming tool. Just cause it has levels built in doesn't mean its a game, it just gives players examples of what you can make. Now if it had a campagin and a story to it then it would be a game.

[Orangesoda19]

More like Roblox graphics.

[RamenNoodles22]

wow tats embarrasing! lbp ftw!

[Ale91rules]

morralla

[Animespara]

They have only put 8 months 2 the dam GAME! the game needs some work we know Thats why they are going 2 put 2 more years into the dam game! so you can expect this game 2 be huge in the future.

[xin0]

I'll pass:/

[eugenealive]

XNA?

[ateanboy]

LBP 2.0???

LMAO!!!!!!!

This game looks like it came out for the N64. The graphics are disgusting. The fact that it is 3D already points it in the wrong direction. They can keep trying, but Sackboy is here to stay.

[Serio17]

Funny, because it's made by a team of 5 people, and it already looks better than LBP. Besides, LBP is 3D, and look how that turned out.

[chicos77]

I guess you have never played LBP. The graphics and colors are incredible. This crap does look like its been out for N64.

[Serio17]

Right. Let's look at LBP. It was funded by a huge company, and published by a huge company. Boku has a budget of $60(Price of the software they use), and a team of 5 people. If i want to construct my own levels, i'll play Garry's Mod, and that's free.

[Damien333]

LBP is media molecules 2nd game...the first one they paid for themselves and self released it..that is one huge company you speak of..moron.

[ntroller]

haha spot on!!! lbp all the way!

[poltaotata]

Yeah amazing !

[lefantome89]

LPB 2.0 lol.

I want it now!

[shortA49]

This looks like Lego creator and the Far Cry map editor

The thing that's so great about LBP is how inviting it is and the atmosphere. Additionally the way it was set up is amazing and easy for everyone, which will bring a lot more people into level/game creation. LBP revlutionizes the genre by beating Mario flat out and proving that in the world of 3D, 2D classic gaming can still have a place.

[teajay74]

It appears that it has the Xbox 360 controller buttons but that might also be because that same controller is marketed for PC use as well.

[Damien333]

AND...its dumb fuck gaming websites like gamingfront that cause all this stupid shit by even comparing this to little big planet..learn to be real journalists..douchebags.

[Damien333]

Atleast companies are realizing that they have run out of ideas and are giving gamers the reins to do what they want.

[catatonic911]

Love you Microsoft

[funkerjunkie]

im so damn confused... where does little big planet come from this? what in the hell does it have to do this little simple game maker thingy?

[anyninja]

Sony fanboys think LBP invented everything, even though it's just a fleshed out version of the skate park editor from Tony Hawk.

[fiveMIRrOrs]

Or simpler version of every second mod tool kit on PC since tne great weenie war.

[kemo112205]

skate park editor from tony hawk??? god your dumb

[robstrait]

Spoken by one who's obviously not tried it. Bravo!

[Darthchimp13]

loooks CRAP

LBP 4EVA

PS3 FANBOY

[thatcoolguy69]

Honestly didn't interest me.

[Giesen93]

because you dont have a xbox ;)

[NESSNESS9]

Looks awesome.

[skyrunner14]

This looks kinda cool! It doesn't make me want an XBox 360, but if I ever get one I'd probably get this...

[wolfff01x]

360 fanboys are pitiful

talk so much shit about lbp but when m$ copies its ZOMG AWESOME

[RevivedDemon]

Wow, some Sony fanboys just need to shut the fuck up. Its obviously not being marketed as a "game" much like Little Big Planet is. It's a game making tool. LBP is just a simple platformer with VERY open level customization. This allows you to make more than one type of game.

[bourgeois000]

LOL wtf was that

i wouldn't ever trade my lbp for that crap

[Giesen93]

they dont copy LBP, in LBP you can make your own Levels, but in Boku you can make your own games!

[RedCloak01]

Looks amazing, looked pretty good back before Little Big Planet was ever shown, in early 2007. Nice use of funding MS, now I don't need to get a PS3.

[Mrvort]

I dunno, this doesn't really show much of the game at all. What kind of game is it? A platformer?

Looks mediocre at best. And this is coming from somebody who doesn't own an XBOX or a Playstation.

[DMitsukirules]

No, learn to program. You will never be able to make the game's you truly want unless you learn how to program or hire a programmer.

[paulytby]

crap

[chocuz]

microsoft are shameless... this still looks shite.

[MauriMahtava]

Boku has also more advantages. XNA stuff can be added and the 3d graphics of cource, but it is now like old klik and play. I has about none of code ablities yet, but there will hopely become more professional and not so childish version of this.

[MauriMahtava]

Multimedia fusion 2 ftw for time being...

[raymonder3]

Awesome

[MvP1292]

looks like shit

[wolfff01x]

wow, looks like shit IMO

[glassius]

Oh shut up, you fucking useless bell-end.

[wolfff01x]

how about you hop of m$ dick first bitch

[EclektikMarc]

Lol if you want n easy tool to create simple to complez games without programming, check Clickteam' Products ;)

The best one out there is MultiMedia Fusion 2.
