That will, unfortunately, be bought by 8 people. Will buy it in mid december after I've played through Killzone (PS4), CoD Ghosts (PS4), Zelda (3DS) and 3D World (Wii U).

God no. This game deserves better.
it probably will and that makes me so sad. Just like wonderful 101. People buying xbones and ps4 with nothing to play and disregarding the true gems of the year. Aaaaarghh!
Both games are out already!? Where did you buy them?
What dream? That's a terrific metascore.Metascore based on 35 reviews is still at 88. The dream is over

Crazy scores.... So this game is really like Mario 64 or what? Collecting "stars" and stuff? I almost know nothing about the game but I've been looking for a reason to buy the PS Vita for a long time and if this is like Mario 64 this may just seal the deal for me.

Speak for yourself, I'll be playing Shadow Fall, NfS: Rivals, Resogun, Doki-Doki Universe and free next-gen Flower on my PS4 this Christmas. I'm content.
Of a Vita exclusive with a metascore >=90.

Time to warm up my Vita again. Just in time for PS4 launch.

People are still hoping for that 90+ Metascore other than P4G. Which this game definitely deserves. The 60 and 70 score really squashed that though.
but there still 2 more 10 score that isn't in metacritic
Oh. Really, that's just a detail. But I agree it would be great. It's a mental barrier I guess.

That's quite frankly just stupid. They should be hoping for great games, which is excactly what they've gotten with this one.

Mm have moved on from LBP. I don't know who will be developing the next, but maybe it'll be Tarsier (who co-developed LBP Vita). Double Eleven, who also co-developed LBPV, have ended their relationship with Sony, so they won't be involved in LBP any more.
I hope there is more LBP, but it could probably do with a break of a few years before coming back with a host of new ideas. Probably taking it fully into the third dimension being the main one.
I am speaking for myself obviously. Relax.
And since Im still speaking for myself, I do like my list of zelda, 3d world and Tearaway much better than your list. I think I have better taste.

Amazing that this is only £20. Definitely picking this up - Always thought it looked fantastic. Glad it turned out so well.

There will always be biased outlets which cannot fathom giving Vita games high scores.

So excited for this. Sounds like a beautiful game and I'm so glad it's doing well in reviews.

Sumo Digital is rumoured to be working on the 3rd one.
Double Eleven is working on Frozen Synapse: Tactics for the Vita and PS3.

Of course, but you know how fickle people are when it comes to review scores. Especially with the Vita its more of a justification thing if anything. Same thing happened in the Zelda and Super Mario 3D World Review thread.

Joystiq gave LBP Vita: 4/5
this "biased" media outlets it's not a very constructive approach. They all consists of lots of different reviewers with different preferences.
If you want to critize a review, you should read it, find its weak or inconsistent points, and take it from there
The only thing I noticed being critized in 3D world thread was that one of the reviewers ducked point for "Bowser is still antagonist", which is a pretty dumb criticism of a Mario game. In the Zelda thread some people got worked up because Destructoid ducked points because the reviewer "couldn't feel the magic", which is also weird, since he had no concrete negatives to speak of.
Loved it. Well written, engaging, and liked the details on the meta game extra stuff (the papercrafting). I think I found a formatting error
There's something missing after "to the are..."

While yes there were some strange review points in both those threads I was referencing moreso the justification aspect of it when it comes to why people want that 90+ metascore. W/ WiiU and Vita both struggling systems and constantly getting beat down by other people having a game that says "ITS A MUST OWN" is kind of a "shove it in your face" to those people, 3D World and ALBW moreso because initial reaction to those games was pretty poor. Most people see 90+ as "Must own", anything less than that is just "Great." Which is really stupid imo but thats how it seems to work in most places.
TLDR: People just want other people to eat crow.

I'll give it a read and give you some feedback shortly. First thing I noticed (reading on an older version of IE) is that the text is too close to the left edge of the page, making reading a little weird.
Was it Sumo who were developing LBP Hub? Or were the rumours relating to a full sequel? Given their experience in colourful racing games, I think they'd be quite a good choice to develop a 3D LBP.
To be fair, outlets were very dumb with how they reviewed Killzone Mercenary (comparing it to full console releases), although I'm not getting that from Tearaway reviews yet.

To be fair Sony does have some fault in this, since launching the Vita they've tried selling it as a "portable home console" with "console quality games." Its only natural for reviewers to compare it and the other titles to their home console counterparts given that premise. It doesn't help that the development most of these big games were pushing for that console experience rather than tailor making it as a handheld one. Tearaway won't suffer from this because it really is tailor made for the Vita so its merits will be based upon that.
I think that's because Killzone Mercenary was perceived as a "console game" on an handheld, so some reviewed it like a proper console game that it couldn't be, while Tearaway is using specific Vita features that makes it almost impossible to imagine it on any other platform, so reviewers won't have preconceived notions to compare it less favourably.
The Vita is next next gen. It's just waiting for players to catch up to it.
It's even more ironic because Vita had way better launch games than PS4 and Xbox One put together.

Ah, yes, I forgot about LBP Hub. You're right.
I haven't played Tearaway yet, I'm excited to though. But it will be hard to beat Spelunky for me as Vita's best game this year. If it beats it, it will have a shot at GOTY for me, that's for sure.
