Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that LittleBigPlanet 2 will be hitting the PlayStation 3 later in 2010. The follow up to one of the most original, inventive, and refreshing games I’ve ever seen, LBP2 increases the ways gamers can create levels and adds support for PlayStation Move. Be sure to check out the video above and enjoy this snippet from the press release:
In LittleBigPlanet 2, the tools have evolved to allow users to not only make better levels, but completely new games. With the implementation of a new CREATE mode, players will have the ability to broaden their developer horizons across multiple genres. Now allowing for a higher level of gameplay control, players can reset the control buttons for any object and change the rules to any level — imagine racing games, flying games, and shooters — you can now take control of anything! Also included are new multiplayer abilities so games can have life meters, scoring, and other elements to advance the types of games available for a social/competitive multiplayer experience, including puzzle games, sports, action/adventure, and more. Added to these fundamentals are a movie-like cut-scene maker to improve the storyline components of each creation and a newly enhanced SHARE component making it easier to search for, play through, and showcase the millions of levels around the world.
LittleBigPlanet 2 will be backwards compatible with LittleBigPlanet allowing players to access all online levels created with the original game. It will also include bonus levels that will support the PlayStation Move navigation controller.
As a fan of the game and the people at Media Molecule, I’m super psyched for this one. How about you? Are you ready to jump back into the world of LBP?
I downloaded the new PS Move video from the PSN on Saturday and I noticed that they were showing LBP Clips with the PS Move.
I am looking forward to a new LBP but I never used the creation mode to make anything more than a giant rocket car or a spinning wheel of death. I am just not very creative I guess because some of those people did amazing things with it, and if the new version is going to be better than I am excited to see the new things that can be done.
