H33rsay: New LittleBigPlanet game headed to PS Vita this year

El33tonline writes:

"The PS Vita has no shortage of smaller, indie games headed its way over the next few months but there are far fewer full retail games coming to the platform this year that we know about."

I think the guy means Tearaway not LBP.

sherimae24134055d ago

but what if its a new lbp game....
who will be the developer for it... double eleven? but they are making limbo vita right?

tom1105844055d ago

that's true. maybe just tarsier studios and sony xdev europe?

Freak of Nature4054d ago

That was my first thought too...Tearaway

The new IP for the PS4 is something I am in high anticipation for, I certainly hope we see it in more detail this E3 or before if at all possible.

My bet is that LBP3 for the PS4, and another off shoot of it for the Vita will come at a later date, done by another out source studio...A open World LBP3 in 3D on the PS4 sure sounds fantastic, a step above and evolved from LBP2 is what will be needed when they do come out with it. But the possibilities for anything from MM on the PS4 are staggering...

Bathyj4055d ago

I want MM to make a proper LBP3 with 3D modelling like their tech demo and 3D gameplay.

Freak of Nature4054d ago

Oh yes!

You know I think this new IP will be just that in a round and about away. A more evolved LBP. At least I hope so. I am a major fan of LBP, and soon to be Tearaway and this new IP really has me intrigued...

talocaca4054d ago

Not sure...I love little big planet...and the Vita version is probably the best yet....but don't really feel like I need a sequel yet.

What I really need is a free-roaming platform game.

Jak and Daxter?

J&D: HD Collection was recently rated by ESRB....
Colour me interested.

Agreed, pretty much content with the current LBP Vita. People are still making level and there are already some fantastic ones out there. All they really need to do is add some new tools like a proper 3D camera tool.

Unless they're talking bout a vita version of LBP Karting. That I could see happening.

R_aVe_N4054d ago

I don't think there will be a LBP game on the vita made by MM. They are working on new stuff like Tearaway.

grassyknoll4054d ago

Little Big Planet for the Vita it's one of the best games I've ever played. Would love a sequel!

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie21h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 8h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 6h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 6h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii17h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno15h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
