LittleBigPlanet has hit another massive milestone this week. The LBP franchise now has more than 6 million user-generated games and levels created by fans and uploaded online to the PlayStation Network.
A mysterious LittleBigPlanet game has been uncovered by Siliconera on the website of the Australian games ratings board, the OFLC. The game is called “Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves“ and had been approved for a general audience (basically the equivalent to a “U” or “3+”), and is being developed by Supermassive Games and Media Molecule, and published by Sony.
From July 7th 2010, your favorite comic book characters from Marvel will be heading to LittleBigPlanet. Although MediaMolecule has kept the costumes a secret, they did reveal a total of 20 Marvel costumes will be available to download for the game including Captain America, Daredevil, Spider-Man and more (see full list below).
If you are a Heavy Rain fan and own LittleBigPlanet, you will love the new costumes heading to the PlayStation Store this week. Five costumes from Heavy Rain will be added to LittleBigPlanet, as well as a set of stickers for you to enjoy. Costumes include Ethan Mars, Madison Paige and Shelby Scott.
LittleBigPlanet has been dominating the news this week, with the announcement of LittleBigPlanet 2 and now with the a brand new Game Space and Personal Space in PlayStation Home. Two new locations featuring mini-games and a easy place for you to launch LittleBigPlanet multiplayer sessions from. The LittleBigPlanet PlayGround Game Space features the King’s Snap Happy Photo Challenge, a Creator mini-game to create wallpapers with your friends and the LittleBigDerby mini-game.
It’s clear that LittleBigPlanet has been a success for both Sony and Media Molecule. Sony not only announced the sequel earlier this week, they also revealed that LittleBigPlanet has sold over three million units – not a bad start for Media Molecule’s first PS3 title. In addition to selling 3 million units, over 2 million levels have also been created.
Sony hasn’t announced the sequel to LittleBigPlanet yet, but it is apparently on the way according to IGN latest find. Electronic musician Ochre announced on his Twitter feed that he has licensed a song called “Infotain Me” to Sony for LittleBigPlanet 2. Sony recently acquired developers MediaMolecule, who developed the first LittleBigPlanet title and are presumably also working on the sequel.
This week you will be able to download some “incredible” costumes for LittleBigPlanet. There is no longer any reason to be scared should the cities of LittleBigPlanet become threatened by an evil super villain, for The Incredibles will be here to save us all. The Incredibles Costume Kit inspired by the Disney/Pixar animated feature, The Incredibles features nine costumes: all of The Incredibles family (including a “Retro” Mr. Incredible sporting his classic blue costume), their allies Frozone and Edna Mode, and their arch nemesis, Syndrome.
Next Thursday, LittleBigPlanet will be getting more DLC in the form of costumes and level kits. Sonic the Hedgehog, along with Sonic’s alter-ego beast form, the WereHog, his pals Knuckles and Tails, and his nemesis Dr. Eggman are coming to LittleBigPlanet. You can get all five individual character costumes for SackBoy, or the Costume Kit that not only includes all five costumes, but also a selection of retro stickers based on the classic Sonic the Hedgehog adventures.
In a press release today, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced that it had acquired leading game developer Media Molecule, creator of the multi-million selling and multi-award winning PlayStation 3 exclusive title, LittleBigPlanet. Media Molecule will join as part of SCEs global development operation, SCE Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS).
