LittleBigPlanet Sequel Already In the Works

Now that the delay caused by a rogue song has come and passed, the LittleBigPlanet servers have been turned on, and creations are beginning to filter in. A BBC feature on the game revealed that plans are already underway for a sequel. Another report suggests that they're looking at other methods for expanding the game as well: "With the game just hitting stores, it's too early to start talking about sequels, but Media Molecule already is looking into how they can get more creative tools into the hands of their users. 'We can release new levels, new stickers, new content,' Evans said. 'It's pretty clear to me that we have to move in a fluid direction about what's a sequel and what's not a sequel.'"

I'll be buying it.

It looks like a fun game I can play with my kids, and let them get creative about it. The graphics look very nice, almost everything I've heard about the gameplay itself sounds good, and the level editor sounds really interesting. I'm not a big gamer, but this looks like a very cool package. As Penny Arcade put it, "Duke came with an editor called Build that changed a) what was possible, 2) the time it took to complete a project, and 3) the set of people who could come to grips with level creation. As Duke stalwarts long after Quake was delivered, we would routinely jump online, grab twenty levels, and then spend the rest of the night devouring them"... "and there's already more [LittleBigPlanet] levels than you could ever play.".

I'm not picking it up immediately, of course. I'll be getting it for xmas. That may not inflate their early sales figures, but they've got a sale lined up.

I pre-ordered it months ago. It's one of a few games I've been eagerly anticipating for ANY game platform. It's the first group play game I've been interested in, actually. Sony has always had trouble in the "party game" dept and this seems to be a step forward.

Nintendo always had Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, etc and recently Rock Band and Guitar Hero have come out in this "genre." I never liked The Guitar Band games and the Wii is too much of a Fad (and the controller seems sluggish at best to me; I don't really like it) so getting Sony or MS to get some good group games is nice.
