LittleBigPlanet 3 Causing Problems For PS3, PS4 Owners
Apparently Sumo Digital didn't quite pick up the reins and carry on in the footsteps of Media Molecule quite in the way that many gamers may have been expecting. LittleBigPlanet 3 appears to be riddled with some rather uncomely launch day issues that have rubbed many long-time fans the wrong way.
Game Informer collected some of the information from users who have taken to the forums and Reddit to express their distaste and dissatisfaction with the current state of the game.

There's a lot of hoops and ropes to get around for certain problems and issues, and it's going to be hard to restore the faith in some members of the community given the rocky launch. It's a sad trend that's been happening lately in the AAA business, where big name games – sequels, even – have been launching in less-than-playable states for some gamers. This has been reoccurring issue with games like Assassin's Creed Unity, Halo: The Master Chief Collection and now LittleBigPlanet 3. There was also the issue of a lack of dedicated servers causing problems for multiplayer games in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. This launch-first-fix-later mentality will eventually come back to bite the industry hard on the rear-end.
