LittleBigPlanet to add new features like object sharing and new tools
In a recent interview with Media Molecule’s Alex Evans, he discussed the future of the game via downloadable content and even mentioned LittleBigPlanet 2, although he said it wasn’t a confirmation.
But the biggest news for LittleBigPlanet fans will be the upcoming new features that are coming to the game.
To quote the interview from GamesIndustry.biz:
Question: You’ve already got 2 million levels that people have created, so maybe that’s the answer to this question – but would you like to see even more accessible tools for people in the game?
Alex Evans: Yeah, I would have liked to have made it better. We originally started with a shotgun and a hair dryer, and it mutated a lot… One of the things we’re focusing on next is looking at stuff that insane – generally French and Japanese – people have built, and then making that more accessible, just making some of the ideas that are possible, easier.
The second side of it is that at the moment you can exchange objects via PSN messages. One of the original ideas that was axed from the original game was that you could publish objects from the game online, not just levels, and you’d be credited with the use of those objects.
I think something like that will really boost it – if you’re just a beginner user, you can go and browse not just for levels, but for cars, let’s say. Take that, sticker it up, and you’re done – and that will change the barriers to entry.
So both of those things – changing the tools themselves, and changing how you share – are coming.

WAT ANOTHER LBP I HOPE THAT HAPPENS! I<3 LBP
Well Streetsurfer77, there is a LittleBigPlanet for PSP in the works. It will have new levels and new content, so while it might not be a direct sequel, it will at least give you some new stuff.
Sadly I have yet to get LittleBigPlanet, but it’s one of those games on my “MUST” PS3 lists.
