Alex Evans wants LittleBigPlanet 2 with backwards compatible levels
Media Molecule's Alex Evans told GamesIndustry.biz recently that he would "love there to be a sequel" to LittleBigPlanet. "If you look at online distribution for LBP, when the sequel comes along, what do we do with all that content? We can give [consumers] backwards compatibility with those levels." It looks like Evans sees a sequel as inevitable, though he's keen to say that currently everyone at Mm is still working on LBP. Evans also mentions that a demo for LittleBigPlanet will be released soon, allowing people who still haven't picked it up a chance to try it out. It's unclear whether any of the almost 2 million user generated levels will be playable in the demo, but it should "capture [the game's] essence." More additions to the game are also on the way, such as one that was originally planned for the game, but axed along the way -- sharing objects in a similar way to sharing levels. More features -- "changing the tools themselves, and changing how you share -- are coming."
LittleBigPlanet sequel underway as first game is powered on
Media Molecule switched on the LittleBigPlanet servers today and just like that ... went right back to work on the sequel. The team has already begun development of a follow-up title, according to BBC, and is looking into broadening the franchise -- we're talking cartoons, comics, action figures, the works.
