It’s not very often you can catch a developer going to the extreme and announcing that their game is “f*cking insanely powerful,” but Media Molecule isn’t holding anything back with its upcoming sequel to LittleBigPlanet. While LittleBigPlanet released to critical acclaim, the sequel has a lot to live up to and a lot of people weren’t sure if one would ever be released. However, this past week, Game Informer spilled the beans on the project and now we’re looking at the future of Play, Create, Share.
Speaking with EDGE magazine technical director, Alex Evans, described the upcoming title in quite the colorful way:
“This was originally going to be the one feature in LBP2. This is so f*cking insanely powerful it hurts.”
Furthermore, another game director had to get in on the LBP2 love fest with the following, “It allows you to invent your own control systems, essentially,” added game director Mark Healey. “It means you can pretty much make any 2D game you can think of. I’ve even thought of faking some 3D games.”
LittleBigPlanet 2 is shaping up to what sounds like an amazing experience. When you take the time to think and realize exactly what the original has offered gamers in terms of creativity, it’s impossible to imagine what some creators will come up with given the new abilities at their finger tips. If the rumors are true that LittleBigPlanet 2 is releasing this fall, Sony may have a great Q4 lined up that nobody saw coming.
Now all that’s left is for Kevin Butler to create a great commercial to sell the product.
It’s quite rare that a game gets me as hyped up as this… but wow, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS WINTER!! I still remember the first time I booted up LBP with that intro, I knew I was in for something magical 😀 And now that’s being multiplied like crazy in the sequel!
i never liked the online of LBP but i loved the story mode it was addicting, i hope that lbp2 will bring me into the online play with those new features there adding
GOTY contender for sure!
I didn’t think MM could add anything drastic to LBP, but they did, and boy am I overwhelmed!
@TRF: me neither….this is beautiful….but i think i can 1 up them…..finally making it 3d 0_0
The first game i would make is one that you can play with Tito Ortiz and you can smack the shit outta Jenna Jameson, NOW THAT WOULD BE A BLAST!!!
first time i got that game i got so much shit for getting it, less than a day later i made sure all my friends ate their words
LBP 2 XDDDD I love the first one, the community was intensely creative with the first game. LBP2 is going to rock my socks off hard
