Little Big Planet 3 to be Announced?
According to VG247, Little Big Planet 3 has shown up on an animator’s résumé. The little detail has magically disappeared from the web but as we all know, once it’s on the web, it’s on there forever. The page has been cached and here’s what the credit noted.,

Of course there isn’t really any other information about the game itself or any dates but it’s definitely an interesting find that, at the very least, confirms the game is real and makes us wonder if Sony will be making any announcements about it at E3, which is right around the corner.
Xbox One Offline Gaming Only 24 Hours
If there was any uncertainty about whether or not Xbox One would be an always-on console, it’s pretty much clear now.
It’s not technically online “all of the time” but Xbox One will only allow you 24 hours of offline gaming and anything after that you will only be able to watch movies and television. If you are on another console besides your own, you will only get one hour of offline gameplay. This will likely rub gamers the wrong way and many who are already on the fence may choose the Wii U or Playstation 4 instead, based on this feature alone.
With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies. ” -Microsoft
Xbox One games will be tied to your console but you will be able to trade in disc based games, that is, if the publisher allows it and they are likely to charge you a fee. You will also be able to give disc based games to your friends as a gift but they must be on your friend list for at least thirty days and you can only do it once.
One plus about the console is that you will be able to buy games online or in-store on day one of a game’s release. I’m hoping that this particular feature becomes the standard for all consoles.
It’s also important to note that Microsoft may change things up in the future, especially if things go sour with sales or complaints. So remember it’s still early and we have yet to see how this all plays out.
