Yesterday for the umpteenth time, we got confirmed of LittleBigPlanet 2, arriving at the end of this year on the PS3. While everyone is happy and excited for a sequel, fans want to know what they can expect when the title ships. So far, here’s what we know.
Media Molecule is making it their goal to provide gamers with an enhanced opportunity to PLAY, CREATE and SHARE. While playing the new game, gamers will first notice that LBP2 is being developed on a “revamped” graphics engine that will enhance the visuals from the previous game. MM will also bring a boat load of new storylines and new missions. The game will also support the PS Move, which will provide a whole new way to play.
The creation improvements are said to really be what sets this game apart from the previous title. Players will have access to new tools such as the ability to add a voice over to your own created character, and new equipment, such as a grappling hook, power gloves and a magic bag. And while before you could only create levels, now players can also create games. If you want to create a LittleBigPlanet racing adventure, you can. If you want to create a Sackboy Space Invaders game, you can. And of course, all your creations and friends’ creations are accessible to download. Sharing has never been simpler. And as we mentioned before, all 2 million of your created levels from the original game are accessible.
Pretty neat stuff, huh? With just one month before E3, we’re bound to get more information, videos and game impressions in the near future.
