LittleBigPlanet Sequel Already In the Works

Posted by Soulskill on from the optimistic-or-cocky dept.

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.'"

    Oh please. It's a side-scroller with a level editor.

    Where have I heard that before? Oh, right, a DECADE AGO when such games were released on the PC. There are complete toolkits designed around the concept. This "game" has two things going for it: it's in "HD" (big deal) and it's for a console (also, big deal). Yay.

    Come to think of it, I remember playing a game that came with a level editor back in 1984 under DOS. Wow, way to catch up to the times, Sony.

    Oh, but that one actually allows you to mod the game to create new objects and new behavior - without modifying the game engine. And it's completely Free.

    So congrats on getting a game that's treading new ground, that's already been covered for OVER TWO DECADES with the PC.
