Rumor: Sony Releasing "LBP2" This Year

With GDC week comes a week of announcements and rumors - and it seems like gamers may want to break out their Sackboy plushies sooner rather than later.

It's GDC week, everybody! The week of some of gaming's biggest reveals, not counting E3 week! So, let's get things started: A source close to Sony told LittleBigPlanet2 [http://www.vg247.com/2010/03/08/rumour-lbp2-is-out-this-year/].

Now, this is just an unconfirmed rumor from a nameless source, but if true, we might hear something about it from Sony this week. Furthermore, if true a full, disc-based sequel would signal a change in direction from the Surrey, England-based studio, who previously had stated that its intention was to support the first game via DLC.

On the other hand, LittleBigPlanet was flippin' fantastic, Sackboy is adorable, and are you really going to turn down another set of brilliantly designed levels and some new goodies with which to make your own? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Last week, it was announced that there had been more than 2 million user-made levels created for the platformer. Would a sequel mean another 2 million?

I hope this also gets a PSP version down the line. Like the original did.

I won't get this. Fun as LBP was, I just don't play it enough to warrant it's price.

A LBP2? What the hell is that gonna be? LBS works just fine as it is with DLC. It's not a game that you can make a sequel of.

Here's another anonymous rumor. Word is Microsoft will be unveiling a game known as GoW3 later this year. No details yet on what it could be.

Seriously though, I'd rather they go with the DLC plan, but even if it's just a more polished version of the first game with new levels, I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Didn't Media Molecule already say they weren't going to make a LBP2? I remember them saying it would be counter-productive or something along those lines.

*Instant Buy*

 

[Proteus214]

Yay! This definitely makes me want to get a PS3

same. I mean if they could improve all the physics, jumping from layer to layer, greatly increase how much you can put in a level, give more options on the accutal level design (like you dont need to use the extra layer glitch to make backgrounds.) the game would just be godly...

The penis-shaped levels will blot out the sun...

 

[Rainboq]

Yeah, Sony, here's my money *hands Sony a bag of cash*

 

[Korten12]

The penis-shaped levels will blot out the sun...

the funny thing about that is that, it never happened. maybe they didnt publish them but I saw no levels out of the hundreads I played, any have any penis-shaped.

Allow me to enlighten [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adkm-eHZ0uk] you.

As long as they keep the awesome-sauce from the first one and spice it up a lil...I would <3 to see a sequel of the sack-boys antics!

Little Big Planet 2, now with more of Sony secretly owning everything you make in it and more copyright infringement woes.

 

[Dublin Solo]

Heh, that reminds me of an article I read about Sony (America?)'s president whining about all the leaks they have to deal with. I wonder what he will think of this news coming from this "anonymous source close to Sony"!

But back on the subject, I'd go with "meh". LBP was fun for the first 30 minutes...

 

[LeonLethality]

I agree I loved LBP PSP

I am a sucker for the charm of LBP so I know if this does come out I will have it in an instant.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Wait... LBP2 sounds like a cheap R2-D2 knock-off.
