Sony And Media Molecule Announce Little Big Planet 2 Is Coming Exclusively To The PS3 This Year

Media Molecule and Sony have revealed Little Big Planet 2 for the Playstation 3 and announced that it is coming out this year only on the PS3. They have also announced that all the levels created in Little Big Planet, and currently there are over 2 Million of them, are playable in Little Big Planet 2.

Media Molecule reveal that the searching system is getting a total overhaul, with additions like a activity stream so you can see what your friends are playing and what your hearted creators are building. They are also making it more accessible, providing a web site for every creator and every level. you will be able to browse levels, add them to your queue to play later, and much more via this website.

Little Big Planet 2 also comes with new things to add to your levels. Sackbots can be shaped and tweaked, and you have the choice to even record behaviour for them. New camera tools have been added to give a better cinematic experience for your level, or they can be used to create short films or music videos. You will have the ability to choose how a controller is used in a level and what buttons do what.

In an effort to reduce the amount of logic systems needed, circuit boards have been added to the game. for example, the calculator level created in little Big Planet was made up of over 100 pistons, in Little Big Planet 2 this can be boiled down into 1 microchip, freeing up the thermometer for other things. Circuit boards can be any size and take as many switches as you want them to.

Sackboy has also been given other tools to use, for example he now has a grappling hook, that can be used when he jumps, as well as new bounce pads. Media Molecule are teasing future surprises and reveals for the game and Sackboy.
