Basically the way we work and the way we'll work after LittleBigPlanet 2 comes out is to use the community to prioritize our work.

Full team, only about nine months now, six to nine months - but it's always been on the books. So when did you actually decide to start working on LittleBigPlanet 2 ?

With a Blu-ray, we can not only bring new people into the franchise, we can say, 'okay, here's Sackbots and Direct Control, plus this and plus this, and plus the grapple hook, and meld them in interesting ways, and so on. Like, if you release DLC, then you get levels that show off one new feature or two new features in isolation. The other side of it in deciding to do a sequel instead of DLC actually boils down to being able to do 10 or 20 new features at once that all play off one another, like sum is greater than the parts. Like, not just the user-generated content, but also the DLC, so that's the thing that changed. We're absolutely true to the idea that we don't want to split the community, and that was the core of it.

What the original conversation was, I believe it was with Eurogamer, who said to one of our guys, 'so, if you did a sequel, it would really split the community up,' and we answered, 'yeah, we wouldn't want to do that, we wouldn't want to split the community up.' I can see how they read that like there wouldn't be any sequel, but the ironic thing was, he was already working on the sequel at that point.Īnd you've gotten past that by making everything backwards compatible? Misquote! Actually, that was a genuine misquote. When the subject of a sequel to the original LittleBigPlanet first came up, you guys were kind of cold on the subject, so what was. Click past the jump to learn more about the sequel's bold new creation tools, community features, PlayStation Move functionality, and the unconventional ways the small development studio has expanded. For answers to these burning queries, we turned to Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evans. Still, for each feature the studio announces, dozens of questions surface about how they'll actually be implemented in LittleBigPlanet 2. We know enough about Media Molecule's follow-up to 2008's highly customizable platformer LittleBigPlanet to know that it's remarkably ambitious.
