Forums - Sony - Rumor: MM is making LBP game for NGP?

 

Though the handful of promotional videos for Sony's NGP have featured footage of a handheld version of Media Molecule's latest, LittleBigPlanet 2, the game's developer and publisher have remained mum about the series' next on-the-go installment. However, a recent hiring notice on the studio's front page gives us hope: The Guildford-based outfit is currently looking for a graphics programmer to work on a new title, which will land "on a portable platform."

It wouldn't be the first time the handcrafted platformer made its way to a handheld -- that would be SCE Cambridge Studio's LBP for PSP -- but the possibility of a totally in-house iteration of the franchise on Sony's next portable is enough to send shivers of excitment coursing through our entire body. We've contacted Media Molecule for a comment!

Update: Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evans responded, saying,"Well spotted! However, at the moment I'm afraid we've got nothing to announce regarding any projects... sorry. We'll have to leave the world speculating a little longer..."

I thought it was already confirmed to be happening as it was part of the "sizzle" when the original trailer was shown? Why is it still a rumour?



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Why would this be a rumor? I'll confirm it right now. Along with a God of War, Uncharted, Motor Storm, GT, [insert other random first and second party popular games]....

The rumor is more that MM is doing it themselves than anything else

Why obvious? I really hope so, but LBP PSP wasn't done by MediaMolecule, it was made by Sony Cambridge.

I would love to see MM doing LBP NGP and I hope they get really creative with it, trying a lot of different gameplay with the different input methods of NGP! After that, please bring new IP taylored exclusively for the NGP or Move :P
