The folks at Media Molecule have been the subject of much buzz ever since their creation Little Big Planet took GDC by storm back in March, but what of Craftworld, the 2D prototype that landed the team the LBP deal at Sony? During a Q&A session at E3, Newsweek's N'Gai Croal, whose hair shall one day be mine, probed into the possibility of the game seeing the light of day, with interestingly vague results.
Level Up: The 2-D prototype that you guys did was also very striking. Do you have any plans for that? PSP? Playstation Network? A hidden unlock? Something else?Mark Healey: [Laughs.] There's—we're not allowed to talk about that, are we?
Playstation publicist: No.
Alex Evans: Sorry, we can't.
Nothing speaks louder than not being able to speak. Personally I think Craftworld would be an amazing game to release on the PSP, and who knows? They could even have hooks between a PSP version of Craftworld and Little Big Planet itself, using the less-complicated engine to translate LBP data into a portable form. Pure speculation, of course, but wouldn't it be nice?
