the LittleBigPlanet 2 LittleBigThread… 2!

Let us discuss.

GO GO GO!

It’s official! (http://kotaku.com/5533736/first-littlebigplanet-2-details-its-a-whole-new-game)

PlayStation 3 do-it-yourself platformer LittleBigPlanet is getting a sequel, a fact confirmed by the latest issue of Game Informer magazine, which spills a sackful of new and fascinating details on developer Media Molecule’s next game.

According to early details from the magazine from a NeoGAF forum member, LittleBigPlanet 2 is much more than just a side-scrolling platforming game. Media Molecule is creating new tools that will enable players to create racing games, puzzle games, "Space Invaders clones," role-playing games and even real-time strategy games.

"A Media Molecule developer has created a fully-functioning Command & Conquer clone," according to a recount of the mag’s report.

LittleBigPlanet 2 will also apparently let players create and edit short films, record their own sound effects and manipulate the game’s camera to make customized cut scenes using Sackboys.

The PS3 game also introduces the Sackbot, a fully customizable and programmable enemy unit. With new "direct control seat" options that let players define control schemes, creating customized controls for enemies, vehicles and even Sackboy himself—no more standardized floaty control?—LittleBigPlanet 2’s game creation tools sound like a massive leap.

While it all sounds wildly different, LittleBigPlanet 2 is said to let players carry over all their levels, costumes and downloadable content from the original game.

If it has accessories to make XIII characters/Eidolons I will buy. Promise.

I am imagining a Sack Snow and squeeing.

*starts making a Snow Sackboy nao!*

Edit: Here he is!

I bought LBP a long time ago and played through the first few levels. I absolutely hated it. I thought the platforming was weak and floaty and that the levels were just boring showcases for the physics engine.

I replayed it recently, since I had nothing better to do. It is easily the best platformer I’ve played in a long time. I’ll likely play the PSP version soon, when Skanker visits. I’m a sucker for finding hidden stuff in platformers, I guess, and LBP did it very right.

I’m looking forward to the sequel. I’m also pretty keen on playing ModNation Racers.

Haha <3 Don’t they have just a black knit-cap? I know getting the nose-hair would be hard.

Lol, I said nose-hair XD

I love LBP, so I’ll probably get this.

Mm has tweeted about releasing full mega details tomorrow.
