Media Molecule says “No” to LittleBigPlanet 2 - November 6, 2009 by C. S. Reynolds

Media Molecule says "No" to LittleBigPlanet 2

In an interview with Critical Gamer, Media Molecule has dismissed the possibility of a LittleBigPlanet 2.

But don’t be sad Sackboy lovers; the opinion of Level Designer Danny Leaver is that making a second game would be ‘counterproductive’, as it would more than likely fragment the well-established LBP community, so they do have our best interests at heart.

We think you’ll agree the post-launch support in terms of DLC and software updates has been absolutely first rate, and Producer Martin Lynagh says ‘that’s the way it’s going to continue’, which makes us very happy indeed.

LittleBigPlanet getting Watchmen DLC costumes - September 28, 2009 by Michael O'Connor

Media Molecule has just updated their blog with the announcement that Watchmen DLC will be hitting LittleBigPlanet in this Thursday’s PlayStation Store update.

Unfortunately, a naked blue Dr. Manhattan isn’t amongst the cast of characters, but you’ll still be able to dress up as Silk Spector, Rorschach, Night Owl, and Ozymandias!

Best sackboy costumes ever? Quite possibly.

Media Molecule hints at Ghostbusters Sackboy - July 4, 2009 by Jens Erik Vaaler

Media Molecule are asking the question “Who you gonna call?” on their website. Those with half a brain and a memory of the 80’s and 90’s know the answer: The Ghostbusters.

So what will it be? Will we be seeing a Sackboy running around with a jumpsuit and Proton Pack, or maybe a Sackboy turned Slimer? Whatever it is, we can’t wait.

LittleBigPlanet passes 200K sales in UK - January 8, 2009 by Michael O'Connor

A gold star for LittleBigPlanet

It’s the game that just keeps on giving… today, ELSPA has just awarded Media Molecule’s adorable LittleBigPlanet Gold Status, meaning that Sony’s flagship title has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK.

The game is continue to sell steadily despite dropping out of the UK Top Ten the week after its release, where it debuted at 4th place.

Sony has regularly labelled the game as an “evergreen” tittle, in that it will continue to sell for months to come, the company believes. Sony blamed a crowded holiday season for the title modest debut in the charts.

Personally, I don’t care where it is in the charts. It’s a beautiful game however it sells.

Forget Facebook. Sackbook is where it’s at! - December 4, 2008 by Michael O'Connor

Sackbook is where it's at!

Social networking site Facebook has a long-standing reputation as a high quality social networking website, but it looks like its days may finally be numbered, thanks to enterprising new social site… Sackbook!

Us human have FaceBook to keep us connected and informed, but the lowly sack-people of LittleBigPlanet have long been without, way to connect and network with each other. Now, thanks to Sackbook, they can finally come together.

“Sackbook is a fan-site (ie not official) that lets you search, browse and attempt to make sense of the plethora of user-generated content that fills LittleBigPlanet,” says the site by way of explanation.

“If Facebook, Flickr and LittleBigPlanet somehow had LittleIllegitimateOffspring, they’d probably be something like this.”

Trust me, it’s brilliant! Check it out for yourself at the link below.

Put a turkey on Sackboy’s head for Thanksgiving - November 26, 2008 by Michael O'Connor

Put a turkey on Sackboy's head for Thanksgiving...

Just how freakin’ epic does that look? And the best part about this slice of LittleBigPlanet downloadable content? The turkey head will set you back the grand sum of… $0.00!

It’s free!

Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, Sony have put a free downloadable LittleBigPlanet costume up on the US PlayStation Store… which consists of nothing more than a turkey head plopped right on sackboy’s shoulders in the most epic fashion possible.

They’ve also added a Chimera Sackboy (or Sackgirl) costume based on Resistance 2, which is available for $1.99, but nobody cares about that one, right? It’s all about the turkey head this weak!

If you’re one of the many who live outside of North America though, you’re sadly out of luck with this one. Maybe us European will get this one for Christmas…

Social gaming has “not had an impact in Japan” says Sony - November 5, 2008 by Michael O'Connor

Social Gaming is all the rage... except in Japan.

LittleBigPlanet is certainly something special, and has unquestionably created a new form of social gaming, unlike anything we’ve ever seen before… but it appears that its not catching on in Japan.

In a recent interview, SCEE Worldwide Studios VP Jamie Macdonald has expressed his thoughts on this new form of social gaming, and how it has been most popular in Europe, whilst Japan has yet to take to the concept with any really passion.

“I think… that the success we had in Europe with social gaming in the PS2 era was a surprise,” he said. “Nobody foresaw it, and what we’re trying to do now is to make sure that this whole new genre is catered for within future PlayStation developments.”

“It’s not that social gaming was ignored, it’s that it was a surprise to everyone – and also, to be frank, from our point of view it’s been more of a success in Europe than it has in Japan or the United States. It’s still been relatively successful in the US, but I think it’s fair to say it’s not had much of an impact in Japan.”

Curious results. One must wonder what it says about the mentalities going through the minds of people from different regions of the world.
