I have a hunch that the concept drawings for NightSky don't look terribly different from how the game actually looks — and that's a good thing.
Video Blips:
• The name NightSky doesn't seem to accurately represent this title's gameplay. Then again, it sounds a bit more intriguing than something like "Metal Rolling Ball." [Nifflas YouTube Chanel]
Continue after the break for a look at Nintendo DS critter-fest Monster Tale, a behind-the-scenes peek at digital-physics company NaturalMotion and its work on Backbreaker, and a video of the "Windows OS" running in the LittleBigPlanet 2 beta.
• Monster Tale is supposed to be the anti-Pokémon game. Its trailer tells players to "go back to a time when monsters roamed free — before nasty children enslaved them." But is that really what happens with Pokémon games? I thought it was the other way around. [GameTrailers]
• Software company NaturalMotion has used its Sir Isaac Newton-inspired technology to help animate games like Grand Theft Auto 4, Red Dead Redemption, and its own Backbreaker. You could say that they have this digital physics thing down to a science. [Dave Thomas Vimeo Channel]
• I normally don't post videos of homemade content in the Video Blips, but this "Windows: LBP Edition" demo — made using the LittleBigPlanet 2 creation tools — is too cool to pass up. How much do you want to bet that as a response, dozens of Apple fanboys are currently whipping up Mac OS X levels? [BludgaBoy YouTube Channel]
