"It's been more than six months since the release of Little Big Planet, and while we've seen a steady flow of downloadable costumes and creation kits, as well as word of a PSP version, we're still waiting for the next big evolution of the game and its community. We caught up with Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evans at the Nordic Game Conference in Malmö, Sweden this week, and he revealed a number of exciting new features coming soon to LBP, including a web-based portal to advertise created stages, an ongoing beta test for new features, and a slate of downloadable content that he likens to the Burnout: Paradise bikes add-on."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
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.
"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.
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?
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.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
"So the first thing we're working on is a website. It's like a portal page which you are given every time you publish a level. You get your own, and it's unique to you; it's your level. It has embedded links to fan sites, and we're releasing an application programming interface (API) for fan sites to use to link into this as well. So you'll see leaderboards, comments, photos -- like a snapshot of your level -- and, ultimately, YouTube video links.
But what's really awesome about it is on that page, you can just click to say, "I like this level, I'd like to play it later," and it queues it up for you in the background on the game server. The next time you boot up the game, you'll see that level promoted and you can play it. So, creators will be given a cool way of advertising."
That sounds SO FRIGGEN AWESOME!!!!!
This will get me back into loving LBP again, just wish it could come our RIGHT NOW!
Just traded mine in for inFamous. LBP was a flop for me. Just another IP that didn't put up Halo numbers (which I don't play btw), so they will subsidize it with tons of $6 costume packs. Literally a picture perfect example of how DLC is used to cheat gamers out of anything remotely decent. Its literally astonishing that MM has released five (six?) costume packs, and how many new levels? Three, with the MSG pack. Personally, I won't be buying any of Media Molecules games anytime soon. I'd rather buy a game that was great out the box, not one that was ok and wants to sell me costumes every week so I can look like characters from other IP's. F%$K that and f%$k Media Molecule for cheating gamers with this bull$hit.
LBP is a flop
In Every Way
The People Who Made It Are Insane But Genius
Its Really Cheap In The Uk £15 But I Guarantee You Would Of Paid Full Price After Playing It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
too addictive. However like Tertis i always go back to MGS4 and KZ2 for my hardcore gaming oh and now Infamous. I need a clone.
